[Rebirth + a light System + broken engagement and face-slapping + a comeback through embroidery + uncovering an old case + a cold-faced, fiercely protective hero]
[Early on, she audits the books, follows clues, and reclaims her old shop. Later, she focuses on running the business, with a heartwarming, everyday embroidery-shop feel.]
Jiang Wantang is reborn on the very day of the broken-engagement ceremony at the ancestral hall.
The silver thimble in her palm grows hot, and the [Heavenly Crafts Embroidery Ledger System] awakens.
In her previous life, she trusted her stepmother’s supposed virtue and lost her dowry; she trusted her fiancé’s good name and had her embroidery patterns stolen; she believed family shame should stay private, and her loyal servants were sold away. In the end, she died a cruel death in a dark alley.
This time, she can break off the engagement. But her mother’s dowry, embroidery patterns, old shop, and account books all belong to her. She will reclaim them one by one, then open an embroidery shop of her own and live in peace.
Her stepmother cries that she was only keeping the dowry safe? Jiang Wantang takes apart her late mother’s embroidered screen on the spot, exposing the IOUs.
Her stepsister copies her embroidery and claims the credit? One touch of Jiang Wantang’s fingers, and flaws in the stitching are exposed before everyone.
An established shop undercuts her prices to steal her orders? With authentic Su embroidery in hand, she wins the orders back and opens her own shop.
Even her sweet little half-brother, who used to stick close to their stepmother, quietly becomes her embroidery shop’s little shadow.
The cold-faced county magistrate’s assistant, Xie Zhiyan, originally comes to investigate the deeds. He assumes she is a weak woman pushed to the brink, but as he watches her produce evidence at every turn and refuse to yield an inch, his impartial approach gradually turns into discreet protection within the bounds of the law.
From a stepdaughter everyone looked down on to an heir to the Su embroidery tradition renowned throughout the prefecture.
As she digs deeper into the old accounts, she uncovers the true cause of her mother’s death.
A slender embroidery needle can stitch blossoms into a splendid tapestry, and it can also sew the days ahead into something vibrant and bright!
