In the great city of Gusu, everyone has always been certain of one thing.
The Ming family is finished.
Once the top-tier star of Jiangnan’s weaving trade, the family was wronged overnight, its grand house brought crashing down, its members scattered and its glory swept away. A hopeless defeat, the sort that makes everyone sigh at its tragic fate.
Everyone believed that
once the Ming family of Gusu fell, all that remained were crumbling walls and fading memories, battered by wind and rain, with no hope of rising again.
But no one expected
Ming Yue, the disgraced legitimate daughter who had fallen from the clouds, would never accept her fate so easily.
Her family was gone? She would rebuild it with her own hands.
Her name was smeared? She would clear it, one layer at a time.
The family business had collapsed? She would wield needle and thread as her weapons, using the generations-old weaving skills she’d inherited to make ends meet at a street stall, then break new ground step by step, revive the business, find her scattered kin, and open up new trade routes.
While others fussed over infighting and romance, she kept her head down, building her career, shoring up her foundations, and growing stronger.
