Shen Zhiwei, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, has been known as "the best embroiderer in the capital" since she was a child. However, on the eve of her haircut ceremony, she was framed by her concubine Shen Yurou for "stealing family heirlooms", and was even publicly accused by her sweetheart, the number one scholar, Gu Yanqi. Overnight, she fell from the clouds into the mire, and was demoted by her father to an abandoned house on the outskirts of Beijing on the grounds of "corrupting the family tradition." She was blind and injured in her legs, and became a "waste" that everyone could bully.
In a desperate situation, she accidentally awakens the "colorful embroidery" left by her mother. Not only does she regain her light and repair her leg disease, she can also use the embroidery needle as an "eye" to see through the hypocrisy of people's hearts, and use the silk thread as a "blade" to weave a "living embroidery" that can defend against enemies and be falsified. With his golden fingers and astonishing perseverance, Shen Zhiwei sneaked into the capital embroidery workshop under the pseudonym "Awei", starting from the lowest level as an embroidery worker, and worked step by step: he embroidered "talking" embroidery to expose the evil deeds of his concubine, and amazed the court with a painting of "A Hundred Birds Worshiping the Phoenix". While investigating his mother's old case, he reunited with Gu Yanqi, who had "betrayed" her.
Only then did she realize that the "testimony" back then was actually a disguise to protect her, and Gu Yanqi had already secretly paved the way for her. When the viciousness of the fight in the house collides with the chaos of the court, and when the ice wall of misunderstanding is melted by the truth, Shen Zhiwei uses the embroidery blade to protect the family and clear up the grievances, while Gu Yanqi holds the power to break the conspiracy and keep his original intention. The two return from "strangers" to "confidants side by side". In the end, they not only reverse their fate, but also use "Xiu" as a matchmaker to write a legend of "women can also control the world, and deep love is in the same boat."
