A young master of an embroidery house, just returned from studying abroad, gives up his inheritance to save the woman he loves from the outdated custom that demands a man take concubines to master the craft. Ten years later, as the family embroidery business teeters on the brink of collapse amid the tides of a changing age, he and his wife, now a master artisan of her generation, are entrusted with the task of turning things around. By blending new ideas with traditional craftsmanship, they carve out a path for Jiangnan embroidery amid the onslaught of foreign goods.
“The finest embroidery isn’t without cracks. It’s where the cracks are that the moonlight gets stitched in.”
