With her skillful hand in weaving brocades, Su Axiu worked day and night for three years, saving money for her husband Lin Fu to go to Beijing to take the exam. But as soon as Lin Fu was in high school, he felt that she was from a rural background and was vulgar. In order to cling to the powerful, he abandoned her on the grounds that she had "no talent, no virtue, and it was difficult to enter an official career" and turned to marry the daughter of the Minister of Libu. The abandoned Su'axiu returned to his hometown with the only remaining weaving shuttle. He started by setting up a stall and selling embroidered handkerchiefs, and became famous with his original "country scene embroidery method". Later, he opened an embroidery workshop and recruited embroiderers to embroider mountain vegetation and field fireworks into brocade, becoming the famous "embroiderer owner". But Lin Fu, who had abandoned her at the beginning, eventually got involved in officialdom turmoil by clinging to the camp, and ended up cutting his job to serve the people. When he looked for Su Axiu again, he only saw her sitting at the head of the embroidery workshop. Her demeanor was no longer the same country woman who used to hang around the stove.

In the Daqi Dynasty, when women could make a living based on their abilities, Chang Ying, a girl from Liuxi Village, originally had a peaceful life as a student, but it suddenly changed when her father broke his leg while hunting and could no longer contribute to the family, so she was separated from her grandparents' house. In order to support the family, she gave up her studies and shared farm work and embroidery work with her mother to support her brother, who was weak but talented in reading. The family of four supported each other in the difficult situation, worked hard in the fields and at street stalls, and finally improved their lives through unremitting efforts, and Chang Ying was getting closer to her ideal step by step.
