In March in the south of the Yangtze River, the misty rain is like crisp.
Lin Xiaoman, the 16-year-old daughter of a cloth merchant, was holding up her improved "gauze skirt" to sell in the market: "This fabric must allow girls to wear flowers!" Before she finished speaking, a strange wind blew up the hem of the skirt, revealing the petticoat, causing passers-by to exclaim.
While she was in a hurry, a seemingly ordinary scholar came closer with a fan, raised his eyebrows and said, "Girl, this skirt... Isn't it used to 'seduce' people?" Lin Xiaoman angrily replied with her hands on her hips, but she didn't know that this poisonous scholar was none other than the imperial envoy Lu Yunzhou who was visiting incognito.
A cloth arson case intertwined the fate of two people. On the surface, the noble son is idle, but in fact he is secretly investigating the monopoly of Jiangnan cloth market; the daughter of a cloth merchant, who seems innocent and clever, has secret weaving skills that can subvert the industry. And the mastermind behind the scenes, "Zhao Peipi", is watching with eager eyes, vowing to crush this pair of unsightly young people.
"Lu Yunzhou, are you here to investigate the case, or are you here to marry me?"
"These two things are not in conflict."
When the gauze skirt encounters undercurrents in the court, when the cloth business involves shocking corruption——
This is a game about beauty and conspiracy, sweetness and traps.
What she didn't know was that when he bought the "unsturdy" skirt that day, he had already made up his mind:
"The corruption in this country needs to be investigated, and this girl from the Jiangnan water town... Also needs to be married."
