Friends in a parallel world give everything they have just to preserve a spark of life in the heroine, Su Wan.
That wisp of mental energy falls into the Republican era, into a time ravaged by war, and into the body of a girl named Shen Jingxi.
She is an heir to a Su embroidery family, and she and her three sisters rely on one another to survive in a time of turmoil. They wield their needles like swords and make their thread their lifeline. What they embroider is more than flowers, birds, fish, and insects. It is a vision of their homeland amid a broken land.
Meanwhile, in the parallel world, her friends are using every resource they have to find her, call out to her, and wait for her to return.
Theme: Needles and thread can embroider a nation, but they cannot mend the human heart. Across war and time, someone is always waiting for you to come home.
