Book of Jinse

The story revolves around Shen Qingxian, an orphan girl from the "Yunjinxuan" family of embroidery artists in the south of the Yangtze River. A sudden "embroidered screen curse" case caused her to be involved in the whirlpool of power struggle, and she was forced to marry into the prestigious Jinghai Hou Mansion in the capital, becoming the bride of Gu Yanshen, the sickly legitimate son. She thought she was just a chess piece, but she relied on her lost "warp and weft embroidery technique" and extraordinary insight to gain a foothold in the Hou Mansion. When the couple tried to support each other in the storm, they unexpectedly uncovered a corner of a palace secret fifteen years ago. They discovered that the destruction of the Shen family, the crisis of the Gu family, and even the undercurrents in the court all originated from the same huge network... This is not only the story of an orphan girl's counterattack, but also a legend of a couple pursuing light together between lies and truth, and ultimately redefining what "family" and "self" are.
