Tianji Embroidered Mountains and Rivers

Shen Zhiwei, a modern textile genius, was killed by a poisoned embroidery needle at the age of twenty just before his work won an international award. When she opened her eyes again, she became the daughter of an ancient embroidery family who was holding a wedding ceremony, but her family was confiscated and exterminated. On the verge of death, she combined the memories and skills of the original owner, the peerless technique known as "Tian Ji Embroidery", and an unfinished warning: the Shen family would suffer disaster because of deciphering the embroidery code of the remnant of the previous dynasty, the "Cobweb". She became an official slave of the Imperial City Department's embroidery department and met Pei Shuye, the commander known as the "King of Hell". This man, who was cold-faced and hot-hearted, and decisive in killing, saved her from being tortured with just one sentence: "Your skills will be useful to the country." From then on, she used modern textile science to deconstruct the ancient "Tianji Embroidery", turning silk threads into codes and needlework into swords. She assists Pei Shuye in dealing with the court: Prime Minister Bailiyi appears to be loyal to the emperor, but is actually the "shadow" of the remnant leader of the previous dynasty; in the foreign army in the north, the former prince Murong Yunhai has been dormant for many years, hoping to borrow foreign cavalry to restore the country. And a bigger secret gradually emerged: Pei Shuye's true identity was actually the prince of the previous dynasty who lived among the people. When blood and morality collide, and when the old dynasty collides with the new era, he and Shen Zhiwei find an answer that transcends dynasty changes in the interdependence of life and death: What they want to protect is not the family and the country, but to allow the Qin skills and civilization fire represented by "embroidery" to cross the flames of war, connect the Silk Road, and illuminate the future.
