Shopkeeper Xiang of the Qing Embroidery Shop in Beijing can weave hundreds of birds and phoenixes with his fingertip embroidery needles, but in his sleeves he hides a poison-quenched porcelain bottle and a ten-year blood feud. Using embroidery as bait, she approached the powerful Liu Mansion step by step, just to find out the truth about the injustice done to the Xiang family - but when she pried open the mouth of a close confidant in the Liu Mansion and obtained the testimony of her father's forced confession, she discovered that it was not only Liu's relatives who framed the Xiang family, but also the rumored ruthless Marquis of Dingbei.
What's even more bizarre is that the embroidery sketches sent by the Hou Mansion contain secret codes that only her family can know; and every time she is in danger, there is always a mysterious force secretly helping her. As the phoenix under the embroidery needle gradually becomes complete, the court's conspiracy gradually emerges: the ally she thought was revenge may be the framer; the cold-blooded prince she is afraid of actually holds another key to the Xiang family's unjust case. In this chess game where life is at stake, is she the chess player, or is she a chess piece that has been laid out by others?
