A marriage contract caused Shen Qingyan, a young man from a poor family with a mysterious background, to marry the Su family, a famous weaving family in the south of the Yangtze River. In the eyes of everyone, he is just a tool for the frail daughter Su Yunxiu to make fun of, a useless person with no talent and virtue who can be humiliated at will. Little did they know that beneath that meek skin, there was an astonishing talent and deep scheming hidden inside. He was willing to be looked down upon and hunkered down among the brocades, watching with cold eyes the overt and secret struggles of the family, the turbulence of the business world, and even the undercurrents of the court. Let's see how this green-robed son-in-law uses weaving as a chess piece and business as a blade to rise from the twilight years, uncover the mystery of his life experience step by step, control the world, protect the ones he loves, and weave all these thousands of miles into his beautiful universe.
