Shen Jinshu, the youngest cultural relic restorer in the 21st century, once transformed into the daughter of a poor embroidery shop in Shanghai in the early years of the Republic of China.
At the end of her rope, she discovers that she has "dirty" hands - in the dead of night, the ancient embroidery she touches will "come alive" and reveal centuries-old secrets.
Pei Yan'an, a banker in Shanghai, comes to visit her, not for her embroidery work, but for a lost "gold and jade embroidery bag" - it is said that the last words left by his mother are hidden in it, which is related to the truth about the destruction of his family.
"I'll help you embroider it, and you help me keep the embroidery studio."
With a contract, the two of them each get what they need.
Pei Yanan supported her and protected her from open and hidden attacks, but he also tested her secrets again and again.
Shen Jinshu solved the puzzle for him and stitched together the broken family past, but found that he was stitching together, and his heart was also stitched into it.
When the truth emerged, Pei Yanan held her hand and showed a panicked look for the first time:
"Why are your hands shaking?"
She didn't tell him—
Because just now, her fingers touched a drop of dried blood on his clothes.
The blood "told" her: three days later, he would be shot.
