After ten years away from home, Gu Anan thought that she had long since escaped the fate of being a factory in a small town. Until that late-night phone call dragged her from the exquisite office building in Shanghai back to the Queshan Hat Factory, which was on the verge of bankruptcy. In front of her was a huge debt of 20 million, a mountain of out-of-season inventory, and a group of old workers with gloomy eyes.
She wanted to liquidate her assets and escape from the quagmire, but she bumped into a person who shouldn't be there - Bai Xicheng in the dilapidated design studio. This talented designer who once dominated Milan Fashion Week is now anonymous, willing to quietly sew hats that no one can understand in this corner that has long been abandoned by the times.
One is a smart urban white-collar worker who is eager to stop losses, and the other is a stubborn and indifferent idealist. The two went from tit-for-tat to fighting side by side, trying to find a third way out of the traditional handicraft industry through short videos and story marketing in the ruins.
However, as the factory became popular overnight, the fangs of capital and former enemies followed one after another. When someone offered a sky-high purchase contract and tried to buy out their souls, Gu Anan discovered that the secrets hidden in this old factory were far heavier than the 20 million. In this winter, they not only have to sew together the broken factory, but also sew together each other's incomplete lives.
Purpose: Carry forward the spirit of craftsman and explore the revival and inheritance of traditional handicrafts in the wave of modern business
