Synopsis

In her previous life, she was a government slave in the palace embroidery workshop, her life as insignificant as a blade of grass, her fate in other people's hands.

When she opens her eyes again, she has become Zhang Linlin in 1985: an ordinary girl whose grandfather pedals a tricycle for a living and whose grandmother sells tea eggs. Her grandparents dote on her like she is their most precious treasure.

They are not well-off, but there is steaming food, warm padded clothing, and love without reservation.

It is a freedom and tenderness she never dared dream of in her previous life.

When her grandmother secretly presses her hard-earned tuition money into her hands and her grandfather's rough palm brushes her hair, she finally understands: in this life, she is no longer an ant for others to trample, but a cherished member of the family.

She takes up a strand of silk thread and transforms the lost art of palace flowers into dazzling creations amid the bustle of everyday life.

A single velvet flower captivates the whole school; a custom piece makes a sensation among foreign merchants.

An art once deemed lowly now gives her the means to protect this warmth.

While in the provincial capital on business, she meets Lu Zheng, a man as dazzling as the blazing sun.

He is the son of a high-ranking official, confident and flamboyant, utterly unlike the timid college student's ambiguous love interest.

“An artisan?” Lu Zheng picks up the velvet flower on her bag, his eyes burning. “These hands are priceless!”

He loves boldly and acts decisively. When the parents of her love interest look down on her, he stands up for her:

“You look down on artisans? You have no idea that the skill in her hands is worth more than countless diplomas.”

In the vibrant spring of the 1980s, watch as she weaves a brilliant future with her own hands, and lets both fate and love bloom.

I'm begging for stories with a crafting expert as the protagonist, preferably about spiritual qi revival or high martial arts. The protagonist should make their own gear, with a sci-fi slant. Anime-style equipment is fine too. They should build and upgrade their own gear!!!!!!!!

The innovation and inheritance of velvet flowers in Linlin's hands are very delicately written. It not only runs through personal destiny, but also reflects the cultural development of the times. This subject matter is really great. It feels more like a group portrait novel. Everyone gradually finds their own path through guidance and inspiration. It has healing power. The author updates it very quickly. Reading it in one sitting is simply not enough.

The subject matter is very interesting, and it can be seen that it is not a popular science article, nor is it using craftsmanship as a golden finger. I really like this thing and have thought about the development of craftsmanship. It's better. I'm curious if the author himself is engaged in this field.

It can be seen that the heroine Zhang Linlin has traveled through the past and the present, and has used her ancient craftsmanship to great use in this life. It can provide food and clothing, learn technology, and spread this culture. The overall progress is not bad, but it is a little boring. 35

It looks good, a bit like reading an excellent essay. The heroine is reborn as an ancient sin slave, and she is determined to shine in the modern era with her palace flower skills and inherit traditional culture. This article aims to inherit the intangible cultural heritage and let more and more people know about our traditional culture! 👍

The subject matter is very novel. When I saw the place names such as Fuyang, Taihe, and Yingshang, I wondered if the author was from Fuyang.
