Gu Xizhou, a rising business tycoon, approaches her with a mysterious contract. As the two clash, they stumble upon a century-old secret: the reincarnation of an embroidery master from the Southern Song dynasty. When AI embroiderers challenge the bid for heritage status and genetically engineered silkworms awaken in an ancient tomb, they must unravel the curse hidden in a bloodstained embroidery pattern. Will they become pawns in a game of capital, or the sharp needle that pierces a thousand-year-old design?
