In the south of the Yangtze River during the Republic of China, on a snowy night, an embroidery shop was on the verge of bankruptcy.
In order to repay a huge debt, young embroiderer Yun Ling took over a strange embroidery job from the Lu family, a wealthy businessman - a longevity screen called "Crane Dancing in the Sea of Clouds" but with hidden sadness and cruelty. The reward is the legendary secret treasure "Jade Cocoon" that can make embroidery immortal - it is also a relic that her father never forgot before his death.
However, the embroidery needle has not moved, and the crisis has arrived. Gu Qingzhou, a mysterious man with a gunshot wound and half a jade cocoon in his hand, broke into her world, unveiling a secret battle surrounding peerless skills and shocking mineral veins.
Yun Ling discovered that his father was no ordinary craftsman, but a member of the ancient organization "Cocoon". What the Lu family wants is not embroidery, but a code hidden in the warp and weft of the silk threads that can only be deciphered by the unique "Tiangong embroidery skills" of her Yun family.
An embroidered screen, two halves of a jade cocoon, three forces. Threads were like fate, tightly entwining her. Is it a chess piece at the mercy of others, or is it a chess player who breaks the game?
Let's take a look at how a generation of embroidery girls used needles as swords and threads as ink to embroider their own picturesque landscapes in this troubled world, protecting the soul of their craftsmanship and the righteousness of their family and country.
