Jian Xi, a knotted rope maker, became a poor orphan girl with the same name in ancient times.
The family was in debt, and her aunt wanted to sell her to someone else as a concubine. In this dynasty that did not allow unmarried women to start their own families, Jian Xi gritted her teeth and set her sights on the scholar living next door with a pair of younger siblings.
The scholar is upright and old-fashioned. Only by marrying him can Jian Xi go out to do business as a woman and make money to support her family.
Relying on the knotted rope system in her hand, Jian Xi slowly gained a foothold in this dynasty, earning enough money for scholars to study, and allowing her younger siblings to live a good life.
Unexpectedly, on the day when the scholar was named on the gold list, news came that the number one scholar was attracted by the princess and was about to get married.
At the same time, Jian Xi, who was "divorced", was also coveted by relatives for her property, and faced dual crises in her career and love.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, the scholar returned to help Jian Xi protect her property, exchanged feelings with her, and confessed affectionately.
However, when he returned home, the scholar encountered cold looks and rejection from his younger brothers and sisters.
The younger sister held Jian Xi's arm and did not want to talk to her soft-fed brother.
The younger brother stood beside Jian Xi, scolding him for abandoning his wife and siblings, and threatened to ask his elder brother to cleanse himself and leave the house.
Scholar: ... Where are my cute and sensible younger brothers and sisters?
Jian Xi snickered.
At night, the scholar lowered his head and met her eyes: I am a weak scholar, how dare I disobey my wife. In the future, all internal and external affairs will be decided by my wife.
Purpose: Inherit intangible cultural heritage art, develop and innovate traditional culture
