On the night her family was raided, Su Ying went from a noblewoman awaiting marriage to a servant in her own family's ancestral estate. Her uncle framed the Third Branch for colluding with foreign powers, and her father was falsely accused. She was made a bondservant in the accounts office of the Jinlu Weaving Bureau.
The head manager smiled with a knife hidden behind his back, keeping the accounts so flawlessly that no one could find fault. Her uncle rose steadily through the ranks at court, as if the Su family had always deserved to die.
Then Pei Yanzhi, the Imperial Salt Commissioner, was ordered to audit the accounts. He went undercover and infiltrated the Weaving Bureau. Cold and suspicious, he held the power of life and death. She was patient and sharp, and even as a bondservant, she refused to bow.
She had no golden finger, only half a ledger left behind by her mother, a talent for weaving, and a determination never to falsify the accounts. The half ledger unearthed a thirty-year-old case, while a battle of wits drew out two hearts unwilling to settle for less.
