Shen Qinghe, a graduate student at the Academy of Fine Arts, opened her eyes and became a poor embroiderer who was forced to marry by the powerful through a "yin and yang contract".
Could it be that my life is about to end before it even begins?
In order to change this situation, she accurately applied for the largest embroidery workshop in the capital and became the most inconspicuous embroiderer under Pei Yan, the owner of the cold noodle shop.
But she knew that this was just jumping from one fire pit into another exquisite cage, so she made up her mind to hibernate in secret, and finally spent countless nights burning the midnight oil, integrating modern aesthetics into thousand-year-old stitching techniques, and embroidered a work that was favored by His Majesty.
Not only did he gain freedom and make his first fortune, he also picked up a gentle, considerate, and highly capable mute masked embroiderer as his teammate.
So she decisively kicked out her former employer, moved her family south to open a new dungeon in Jiangnan, and became the youngest owner of Jiangnan Embroidery Shop.
Just when the family injustice was about to come to light, the enigmatic former boss Pei Yan appeared in front of her. He lost his usual coldness, and there was an undercurrent in his eyes that she had never seen before.
She was shocked to realize that everything she thought she controlled seemed to have fallen into the web carefully woven by another person from the moment they met.

Pei Yan is a young giant who is revolutionizing the embroidery industry in Beijing. He is calm, distant and accustomed to controlling everything.
He thought that Shen Qinghe was just a down-and-out woman with some talent who needed protection. Taking her in was just a casual move at first. But while observing her innovating acupuncture techniques day and night, for the first time, I was attracted by the stubbornness in her bones.
He thought he could always remain a calm bystander and investor. But when she became famous in the capital with her embroidery and decided to leave, she tasted the feeling of losing control for the first time.
He thought that he would be satisfied if he could protect her silently under his new identity "Ayan". But after discovering that she was smiling gently at "Ayan", she was on guard against him, and finally could no longer maintain her cold face.
He suddenly realized that this self-directed and self-acted drama was making him feel trapped...
