She is the twelfth generation descendant of Suzhou Shen's weaving family. The whole family was wiped out five years ago, and she is the only one left alive. In order to find out the truth, she changed her name to "Lin Xiu" and married into the Gu family, the largest cloth merchant in the capital, as an orphan from the south of the Yangtze River.

Using gentleness as a mask and embroidery needles as a sharp edge, she gets closer to the truth step by step under the eyes of her enemies. During the Beijing Embroidery Competition, she shocked everyone with her lost technique of "double-sided and three-different embroidery". Amidst the uproar, only Liu's face turned pale - this unique skill only belonged to the woman who was strangled to death by her own hands.
But her husband Gu Jinglan happened to be the biological son of her enemy. He was born with weak color, and the world only had three colors: black, white and gray, but he could only see the luster invisible to others in her embroidery. He didn't know that his eye disease was caused by his mother's own hands, and she didn't know that this man had picked up a rag from the scorched earth of the Shen family five years ago and has been secretly tracing it to this day.
The person beside your pillow is the son of your enemy, and your enemy is your husband's mother.
When the truth was embroidered stitch by stitch into the Guanyin statue and made public, the blades of the Taihu Black Dragon Gang quietly approached. From the capital to Suzhou, from the embroidery room to the court, she used a needle and a pair of scissors to repay all the blood debts one by one.
