In the spring of 1992, Wen Wan, a textile-factory worker, is reborn at the age of twenty-two, carrying a forty-five-year-old soul within her. In her previous life, she spent her youth on the assembly line, only to be laid off and left destitute when the state-owned enterprise restructured in 1997. Wracked with illness, she died alone. Reborn, she faces the restructuring storm due in five years. Keeping a low profile, she draws on her formidable textile skills from her past life and seizes the opportunity when the factory brings in a new production line. In the factory's rigid hierarchy, she relies on her expertise to rewrite her regrets and weave herself a new path to success.
