On the night of the Suzhou fire, Shen Wantang took his six-year-old brother and fled on the ship to Shanghai with his ancestral embroidery book in hand.
She thought she would be able to survive after arriving in Shanghai.
But on the Shiliupu Pier, the gangsters snatched away her books. She knelt on the dirty ground, with dust on her forehead, but refused to shed a single tear.
A silver dollar was handed to her.
She raised her head and saw a pair of heavy eyes. The man didn't leave his name, turned around and disappeared into the crowd.
Later she learned that it was the first debt she had ever owed in her life - a love debt.

In Yunshang Pavilion, she shocked the audience with her "double-sided embroidery with different colors".
The third young master of the Cheng family stood at the door and watched her embroidery all afternoon.
He said: "Miss Shen, I want to treat you to dinner."
She said: "Mr. Cheng, you are engaged."
He smiled: "The engagement is within the family, and you are mine."
But under the neon lights of Shanghai Beach, there are too many invisible hands hidden.
Miss Mu's family had her uncle's stall smashed and her residence set on fire. When she climbed out of the fire, another man desperately rescued her, but he himself fell in a pool of blood.
"Let me protect you from now on," he said.
But she already has someone else in her heart.

She was kicked out of Yunshang Pavilion, pointed at and called a "vixen", and forced into desperation.
But she still had an embroidery needle in her hand.
"You need to embroider bones when you are doing embroidery." Her mother said, "The same goes for being a human being."
She opened a small shop and embroidered from morning to night. Those who once looked down upon her lined up to get her clothes made.
