Wu Qian, the daughter of a military family on the outskirts of the city, found a strange book from another world in the mountains. The book recorded clothing-making concepts and business methods that subverted the times. She took this as an opportunity to abandon the gaudiness of traditional broad robes and long sleeves, and personally improved new types of common clothes that were light and durable and benefited all people.
Starting from setting up a stall in the market, her commoners quickly won a reputation for their practicality and sincerity, and thus won the appreciation and support of Li Shenxin, the king of Jing'an who cared about the common people. However, the road to innovation is doomed to be full of thorns. As her reputation spread from the people to the court, difficulties from the Bureau of Clothing, the frame-up of the Minister of Rites, and the calculations of the old weaving family followed one after another. A game surrounding "etiquette" and "innovation" quietly unfolded between the government and the opposition.
Faced with open and covert attacks, Wu Qian always stood up for herself with ingenuity and broke through the situation with gentleness. She does not fight or rush, but relies on her extraordinary wisdom and meticulous performance to resolve crises within the rules time and time again. And the King of Jing'an, Li Shenxin, has always been her most solid support, acquiescing to protect her in the wind and rain, and having the same mind with her.
This is a growth epic in which a poor craftswoman established a world with her craftsmanship and benefited all people. It is also a thrilling game between softness and rigidity, between innovation and conservatism. Let's see how she uses her body as a commoner to break through the family background, and finally composes a prosperous story with the prince who stands side by side.
Purpose: Through the growth epic of a poor craftsman girl, this book conveys the positive values of adhering to professionalism, being brave in pragmatic innovation, and intelligently promoting social progress within rules. It also praises the deep emotions of mutual respect and common achievements. It is an inspirational chapter about personal realization and social change.
