In the fourth year of Chongning, on the eve of the Ghost Festival, Gu Huaixiu, the daughter of the guilty minister, received a blood letter from the deceased master in the ghost market of Bianjing: "Your life is hidden in Mahuluo's eyes."
Three years ago, her master, General Supervisor Feiyi "Xiaoya" Xue Huairen, was publicly beaten to death for being involved in the Yuanyou Party Monument case. Gu Huaixiu thought it was an unjust case. It wasn't until she met her master's brother Xue Huaili in a black shop in Gui Shizi and saw the embroidered portrait of Mahuluo with glass eyes that she realized that her master's death was because he painted a painting that he shouldn't have done.
That painting is called "Embroidering Song Dynasty".
It is said that a craftsman from the previous dynasty used silk mixed with lime and glutinous rice slurry to build a dam that was harder than stone and blocked the floods of the Yellow River. But when he was building the embankment, he discovered something he shouldn't have discovered, so he painted the truth into a picture and hid it in the embankment. The painting later flowed into the palace and was kept secret, because some people said that the painting contained the secret method of controlling floods, while others said that the painting contained a curse for the subjugation of the country.
Before his death, the master used the prison's most secret technique - "skin pricking" to embroider the painting into the skin of seven-year-old Gu Huaixiu.
People from the Imperial City Division are chasing her. The people from the Soap Department are looking for her. There is also an unknown force watching in the dark. Gu Huaixiu only knew that the painting hidden on his shoulder could change the course of the Yellow River, shake the court, and make countless heads fall to the ground.
But what she didn't know was that the master left her not only a painting, but also thirteen glass beads. There is a clue hidden in every Mahura's eye. Find them and you'll find the secret of the painting.
