Su Embroidery Secret Order: Bianjing Shadow Puppet Master Forces Us to Work Together Every Night

Lin Wanqiu, a descendant of a family of Suzhou embroidery from Jiangnan, disappeared mysteriously while preparing for the International Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition. His sister Lin Xiaoman found half of a strange "double-sided embroidery with different colors" among the relics. The embroidery surface actually showed scenes from the shadow puppetry of Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty. In order to find the truth, Lin Xiaoman followed the clues hidden in the embroidery and embarked on a journey of exploration with cultural relic restorer Gu Qingyuan. The two followed the "Thirty-Six Stitches of Su Embroidery" code to decipher the secrets of the shadow puppet theater in the deep alleys of Suzhou City, and discovered that the disappearance in late autumn was related to the lost "Phantom Embroidery" technique. During the investigation, they gradually uncovered the century-old grudge between the Lin family's ancestors and the Bianjing shadow puppet family - in the late Northern Song Dynasty, the Lin family's embroiderer used phantom embroidery to record the truth about the Jin soldiers' massacre, while the shadow puppet masters used opera codes to pass down the history. As a result, the two families were hunted down by the powerful. In modern time and space, a group of cultural relic dealers set up a series of traps to seize the secret map of the Northern Song Dynasty imperial mausoleum hidden in the phantom embroidery. Xiao Man triggered the mechanism while repairing the ancient stage, entered the space-time interlayer in the embroidery, and witnessed the embroidery formation that sealed the evil spirits in late autumn with his life. In the end, the sisters joined forces, using Su embroidery as the warp and shadow puppets as the weft, to stage a showdown between humans and ghosts on a thousand-year-old stage, which not only solved the blood curse, but also rejuvenated the intangible cultural heritage skills.
