Song brocade restorer Lu Wanning never believed in fate. She only believed in longitude and latitude, materials and traces that could not lie.
After her grandmother passed away, she returned to Jiangnan to take care of the Lu's Weaving Mill, which had been operating for a century. However, on the eve of closing, she saw an old loom that had been sealed for many years running on its own. No one is holding the shuttle, no one is pulling the thread, but it weaves a faceless person. There are only four words on the brocade: This person has no name.
Later, Lu Wanning's own name appeared on the brocade. At the same time, her reality records began to disappear bit by bit.
In order to find out the secret that her grandmother had hidden for half her life, she teamed up with Pei Yanzhou, a cultural relics researcher who had been searching for her missing father for ten years, to find a group of people who once really existed but were eventually forgotten by everyone from the broken brocades, old weaving samples and extracted files.
They also gradually discovered that the twelfth brocade could never predict fate. What it really leaves behind are traces of the existence of those who will soon be forgotten by the world.
But if you want a disappeared person to come back, someone must be the "living thread" for him.
When Pei Yanzhou's father's name reappeared, Lu Wanning's name began to disappear inch by inch from the brocade.
On one side are the people who have been erased, on the other side are the people who are still alive; on the other side are the rules left by her ancestors, and on the other side is the life she wants to live.
What Lu Wanning wants to repair in the end is never just a broken piece of brocade.
What she wants to do is something that no Lu family brocade weaver has been able to do in the past generations - to bring back the people who deserve to be remembered, but not to let anyone else be the price.
Purpose: The meaning of tradition is not to repeat the past, but to allow people who have been obscured by time to be seen again; what is truly worthy of inheritance is never the old rules at the expense of sacrifice, but people's cherishment of skills, memories and each other. In the process of pursuing lost skills and the lives of unknown people, the heroine also completes the growth from inheriting traditions to re-understanding, changing and creating traditions.
