Changsha, 1949, on the eve of liberation. Ah Xiu, the "silly embroidery girl" on Banxiang Street, is silly during the day, but uses her unique Hunan embroidery skills to deliver information late at night - peony petals are enemy sentries, hibiscus stamens hide personnel lists, and orchids point to the meeting point. She is the person in charge of Xiuwang and the core of the secret war under the eyes of the enemy.
Her brother Guan Yunzhou was adopted by Feng Jingting, the head of the Secrecy Bureau, since he was a child. Without knowing his life experience, he became the sharpest knife with the blood of Comrade Xiu Wang on his hands. Brother and sister meet but don't know each other. One is working on information, the other is catching "communists", and they are facing each other.
Old Xu Tou died in the torture chamber, Blacksmith Fang fell in Tongpu Alley, Aunt Mei bit her tongue and kept the secret... Countless people paved a road to dawn with their lives. When Guan Yunzhou spelled out the truth from the half handkerchief left by his mother, Feng Jingting's twenty years of lies collapsed. Guan Yunzhou took revenge, but was shot dead by Feng Jingting. Axiu desperately sent the final information.
Changsha was peacefully liberated.
