Su Qingci, an intangible cultural heritage designer of Suzhou embroidery, suddenly encountered an accident while rushing to make a screen. When she opened her eyes, she turned out to be the concubine of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion in the Dajing Dynasty. As soon as he woke up, he was caught in the capital crime of "stealing and selling his aunt's dowry". In front of him, he was being pressed by his mean aunt, and at hand was a damaged brocade with conclusive evidence. The original owner was even suspected of "committing suicide out of fear of crime".
In a desperate situation, she relied on the exquisite skills of modern Suzhou embroidery and her keen insight into the texture of stitches to find hope in the flaws in the brocade fragments and temporarily avert the danger of death. But the undercurrent in the Hou Mansion has not stopped, and the truth behind the "death of illness" of the biological mother is hidden. The silk handkerchief embroidered with dark patterns on the side of the pillow also involves the shocking secret left by the previous dynasty.
In order to protect herself, she returned to her old business, improved traditional embroidery, and founded an embroidery workshop. From a market stall to a royal appointment, from the Jiangnan embroidery industry to the border military tents, she embroidered her own world stitch by stitch. Unexpectedly, he was involved in the court intrigues, and was accidentally bound to Xiao Jinghan, the cold and taciturn God of War, King Jing'an. Amidst the hidden intelligence and life and death crisis, he gradually developed a love.
Should she continue to be a cautious concubine in the Hou family, or should she become a "female embroiderer" who stirs up troubles? What kind of past is hidden in the dark patterns of Spari? Can the embroidery needle in her hand embroider away the turbulence of mountains and rivers and the unpredictability of people's hearts?
