[Marriage first, love later + intangible cultural heritage Suzhou embroidery + the aloof CEO falls hard]
Shen Zhiyi thought this arranged marriage was nothing more than a three-year contract in which both sides got what they wanted.
She is a Suzhou embroidery artisan devoted to tradition.
He is a cold, decisive CEO.
They live under the same roof but sleep in separate rooms, and sit in silence at the dinner table.
They seem courteous to each other, but in truth they are distant and indifferent.
Until one day, the aloof Mr. Lu is caught secretly collecting her discarded designs, and even clumsily picking up a needle and thread to learn embroidery.
The media spread rumors that Young Master Lu neglects his wife, but he drapes her embroidered scarf around his neck in front of everyone. “This is a gift from my wife. Who dares say a word?”
“Love isn't about grand gestures. It's being willing to learn every stitch for you.”
This is a marriage bound by needle and thread.
She thought he was just part of a business merger, and he thought she was merely an elegant ornament.
As the night train between the two cities passes through Jiangnan's misty rain again and again, they finally realize that each has long been the irreplaceable thread in the other's life.
