One skill, two faces. She is Shen Qingci, the embroiderer from Jiangnan, and Gu Jiuci, the orphan girl of the guilty minister. In order to investigate the murder of her family, she disguised herself and entered the palace, using her amazing embroidery skills as a blade to navigate the turbulent and treacherous palace.
A secret picture, a double life. He is the frail and idle King Yan, and he is also the master of Tingxue Tower who is dormant for revenge. A contractual marriage in which each takes what he needs, closely connects two lonely souls.
When the embroidery needle touches the murderous sword, when the silk thread entangles the plot, they go from testing each other to fighting side by side. The secrets of the palace hidden under the dark emblem of the phoenix and the conspiracy of imperial power running through three generations gradually surfaced.
Let's take a look at how a generation of embroiderers used needle and thread to overcome the situation, embroidered a bright world that avenged the injustice, founded an embroidery academy, and passed on their skills to the world. In the end, they joined hands with the destined people to paint a beautiful scenery of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.
Intention: Break the situation with inheritance, establish destiny with needle and thread, and embroider new life in the overthrown place. This is not only a story about revenge, but also a profound proposition about destruction and reconstruction, forgetting and remembering, hatred and forgiveness, the ego and the greater self.
