Su Zhaoqing is the last master seamstress of the Wuhui Bridal Shop. She can see the threads of fate woven into clothing, and untangle every old debt in the world.
Ten years ago, the National Preceptor took her voice, and everyone in the bridal shop was burned to ashes.
Everyone thought she had become mute. Only she knew that the great fire had concealed the old debts of the entire city.
Ten years later, she returns with a needle of white bone. A courtesan spits out threads in her bridal chamber; a noblewoman borrows a child to prolong her life; a God of War steals the courage of ten thousand men; and the Empress Dowager extends her life by taking years from the living.
With every fated garment she unravels, a little more of her voice returns.
At last, she stands on the altar and says to the National Preceptor: "It's time you gave my voice back to me."
