In 1884, Zhou Ying followed her adoptive father Zhou Laosi to Guanzhong. Zhou Laosi, who had lost all his money, sold Zhou Ying to the Shen family as a girl. When Zhou Ying escaped, she hid in the sedan chair of Wu Pin, the eldest son of the Wu family's east courtyard. Zhou Ying, who was quite business-savvy, was appreciated by Wu Weiwen and was allowed to stay in the Wu family. Shen Xingyi suspected that the eldest son of the Shen family had been assassinated by Wu Pin and wounded him. In order to save Wu Pin who was in a coma, Zhou Ying married into the Wu family. Wu Pin died and the Wu family was in dire straits. Zhou Ying decided to revive the Wu family's east courtyard. Zhou Ying became a shareholder of Shaanxi Weaving Group, but was hit by the imperial court's opposition to the Westernization Movement. Shaanxi Machine Weaving Group faced reconstruction. In order to save Zhou Ying from prison, the Wu family handed over all the shares in the Shaanxi Machinery Weaving Group and the raw silk contract with foreign merchants in exchange for Zhou Ying's life. After being released from prison, Zhou Ying regained her fighting spirit and established the Jingyang cloth factory, and the Wu family industry once again made new progress. During the Gengzi national crisis, Zhou Ying used her own way to revive the Wu family's great cause, and also led the way to reform in the turbulent current situation.
