Shen Qingyue, the daughter of an embroiderer from Jiangnan, has Suzhou embroidery skills that are unparalleled in the capital, and is known as the "painting hand on the tip of a needle." Once she entered the palace, she thought that with this skill, she could become a top "worker" and save enough money to get out of the palace. Unexpectedly, according to a secret edict, she was secretly selected as the substitute for the emperor's "Feng Jia" because of her resemblance to the queen. From then on, her identity in front of others was that of the wife of the Nine-Fifth Supreme Being and the empress of the world. The identity of the queen is a shadow hidden deep in the palace, which may block a fatal blow for her true body at any time. She learned the Queen's manners and imitated the Queen's handwriting, but she could not imitate the unseen sadness hidden deep in her eyes. Not a few days after the good days, a major "witchcraft" case fell from the sky, and the evidence pointed directly at the middle palace. Everyone is waiting to see how this "queen" will be deposed and how the Shen family will be implicated. The imperial army surrounded Kunning Palace, and everyone watched eagerly. Shen Qingyue looked at the ferocious stuffed doll embroidered with birth dates and suddenly smiled. "Is such poor stitching worthy of slandering me?" Using her finger as a ruler and her eyes as a mirror, she spoke in a few words in the court hall about the origin of the silk thread used for the witchcraft doll, the school of stitching, and the habits of the embroiderer. "I have all the embroidery skills in the world. My lords, do you want to know whose hand is this 'thread' that belongs to the real murderer?" She does not believe in ghosts and gods, only the needle in her hand. Using the world as a chessboard and silk threads as warp and weft, she would embroider a road to the sky with her own hands and bury the mastermind behind the scenes together with the decaying palace wall.
