The Brocade-Bound Housekeeper

Born into a wealthy farming family but bullied for her humble origins, Jia Yufen's life in the 1980s began as fragile as a duckweed adrift.

Unwilling to become a pawn in an arranged marriage, she broke free from the shackles of her upbringing and built a business from nothing with her sewing skills.

She braved the ups and downs of the 1980s business world, overcame countless hardships, and built an end-to-end clothing empire encompassing factories, embroidery, garment washing, and logistics. She gave two or three hundred people a place to settle down and build a life.

After betrayal in her marriage and being dragged down by her lover, she cut off the emotional turmoil and focused on building her business. Weathering the tides of the times, she turned the tables against all odds and became a legendary businesswoman, strong and self-made, wrapped in splendor.
