Qin Yue, a master restorer of cultural relics, carries debts and regrets. By chance, she transmigrates into the Great Yin Dynasty as Qin Yue, a mistreated illegitimate daughter of the Yongning Marquis's Household.
A hard life? A hostile stepmother and legitimate sister watching her like hawks? Hell mode from the start?
Fortunately, the "Artisan's Eye Appraisal and Collection System" awakens with her: appraise treasures and analyze objects, reproduce techniques, and uncover long-buried secrets.
She had planned to use her skills from a more advanced age to quietly save money, clear her mother's name, and leave for good,
but she accidentally restores a former dynasty's secret treasure containing "Star Marrow" energy, setting the capital abuzz.
The cold, enigmatic commander of the Imperial City Division fixes her with a sharp gaze. "Who are you, really?"
A noble consort in the deep palace smiles warmly. "Miss Qin, your hands are so skillful. Could you restore this 'old thing' for me?"
Her old enemies close in at every turn. "You and your artisan-registered mother deserve to die!"
Faced with layer upon layer of murderous intent and mystery, Qin Yue takes up her silver needle and grips her carving knife:
"Nothing in this world is too precious to restore. Not even... this twisted world and everything I deserve."
From the secluded chambers of the marquis's residence to the heights of the imperial palace, she wields her craft as a blade, concealing her edge beneath an unassuming exterior. In the end, she will weave a star-glazed tapestry and uncover a shocking secret spanning two lifetimes!
