In her past life, Su Wan watched as her stepmother set fire to the century-old embroidery workshop her mother had left behind. Then her stepsister Su Qing schemed to send her to a watery grave, all because Su Wan stood in the way of the Su family's plan to seize the workshop and monopolize Su embroidery.
Reborn three months before the workshop is destroyed, she takes up her silver embroidery needle and sets out for revenge. She exposes fake fabrics and Su Qing's plagiarism on livestream, revives her mother's long-dormant silkworm strain to cultivate the nearly extinct ice-silkworm silk, and uses evidence from the arson case to send Su Zhenhai and Liu Mei to prison, clearing her mother's name.
Gu Yanchen, Su City's top-tier star, has eyes only for her. When she runs short of embroidery thread, he secures a silkworm farm in Yunnan overnight. When online trolls attack her, he has the rumor-mongers driven off. When she wants to pass on Su embroidery, he invests in a heritage center and accompanies her to seek out veteran embroiderers. He offers her a silver ring embroidered with mandarin ducks. “Your mother saved me ten years ago. Let me spend the rest of my life protecting you and Su embroidery.”
Su Wan goes from livestreaming to international intangible cultural heritage exhibitions, opening classes to inspire young people to love Su embroidery and rejecting the Southeast Asian Golden Snake Gang's designs on the ice-silkworm silk. She gradually realizes that being reborn isn't just about revenge. It's also about carrying on her mother's life's work.
As the fragrance of silk drifts through the Osmanthus Embroidery House, Gu Yanchen stays by her embroidery frame. Their devotion to the craft and their love grow ever deeper with time.
