During the Xuanhe period of the Northern Song Dynasty, undercurrents of party strife were raging, and the guilty minister Su Wenyuan was convicted of all crimes. The only daughter Su Qingyan (character: Zhiwei) escaped by chance and hid in the lanes of Lin'an, making a living by ordering tea in the Song style. She is proficient in ordering tea, dividing tea, and tea tricks. She can also discern people's thoughts and deduce the situation in the court from the foam patterns in the tea soup. Not involved in palace disputes, not trying to get involved with powerful men, Su Qingyan used his unique skills as a stepping stone to connect various workers, frustrated literati, and heroines in the world, and weaved an intelligence network covering both the government and the public. She used tea to make friends and use tea to find out. In the power chess game of scholar-bureaucrats, she relied on skills and information to break the chessboard. She not only cleared the grievances of the family, but also found a way out for women struggling in troubled times. She is cold and intelligent, and she and the forbearing censor Shen Shutong watch each other. In the storm, they maintain a restrained and affectionate attitude to protect a clear world. The full text is immersed in Song-style aesthetics, the details of the tea ceremony are exquisite, the power is calm and restrained, and the female group portraits are vivid, interpreting a legend of the Song Dynasty that uses tea as a blade and wisdom to break the situation.
