In the cold winter of 1980, Su Xiuer, the most favored daughter of the Su embroidery family in Jiangnan, was abducted and trafficked to a remote mountain village in the northwest. In order to save herself, she held a hidden embroidery needle against her throat to fight, and relied on her peerless embroidery skills to get a chance to breathe. Here, she met Lu Mingyuan, an educated youth whose identity is a mystery. Like a light that cuts through the darkness, he teaches her how to read, gives her a map, and even forms a life-or-death alliance with her.
From being forced to cooperate to developing secret feelings, from fleeing life and death to solving the puzzle out of wits, the two work together to uncover the shocking conspiracy hidden in the simple mountain village. Su Xiuer even used her hair as a thread to embroider key evidence, achieving a gorgeous transformation from the rescued to the counterattacker.
Returning to his hometown, the trauma did not stop. Times are changing dramatically and opportunities are surging. Su Xiuer did not choose a stable life, but used the courage to risk everything and founded "Jinxiu Fang". She integrates Suzhou embroidery that has been passed down for thousands of years with modern design. She has experienced life and death in the ups and downs of the business world, and finally pushed the brand to the international stage, giving ancient skills a new lease of life.
And the man who defied the whole world for her has always been her strongest support. Together, they faced the resistance of their families and the changes of the times, and protected the love that began in the depths of despair into a legend that will be passed down to future generations.
