In 1937, gunpowder smoke tore apart Jinling City. The iron hoofs of the Japanese invaders crushed the beautiful spring dreams of the Qinhuai River, and the once prosperous Nanjing became a slaughterhouse of flesh and blood.
The embroidery studio sisters Lin Shuying and Su Mingzhu, from being skilled embroiderers depicting Luan and Phoenix, instantly fell into a hell with no way to survive. The elder sister Shuying is gentle and tough, and the younger sister Mingzhu is lively and fierce. They are forced to struggle forward in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, witnessing countless tragedies, and their only belief is - survive!
However, when the fangs of wild beasts approach innocent children again and again, when silence means eternal forgetfulness... The softest thread can also become the sharpest blade!
"Pearl, what we embroider cannot just be flowers, birds, insects, and fish." Facing purgatory, sister Lin Shuying's eyes lit up with a flame of determination.
She used needles as ghostwriters and silk as scrolls. Under the eyes of the Japanese invaders, she embroidered the heinous evidence of crimes into the gorgeous scrolls stitch by stitch! Her sister Su Mingzhu became her sword and shield, navigating dangerous situations and delivering information.
On the one hand, it is a "hymn" that must be carefully embroidered and dedicated to the devil; on the other hand, it is a hidden and bloody accusation. This dance on the tip of a knife, every step is an abyss.
Until that day, in order to protect the last hope and the fatal embroidery, the gentle sister resolutely chose to live towards death. With the most decisive gesture, she shocked purgatory...
Can the surviving sister, with the bloody lotus embroidered with her life, pierce the long night and make the truth obvious?
Let's see how the desperate sisters use brocade as armor and delicate fingers as swords to embroider a dawn in the darkest night of Jinling!
