A Thousand Gold Pieces, a Blade of Wood

Su Qiaoqiao, a woodcarving prodigy raised deep in the mountains, returns to the Su family and exposes the carefully maintained facade of the fake heiress, becoming entangled in an old conspiracy sparked by blueprints for traditional timber construction.

Others see her carving knife as a mere plaything. Only Xie Yan understands the resolve and restraint hidden in every cut.

Faced with rumors, framing, confinement, and mounting pressure, she wields wood as a blade, quietly breaking through the plot and searching for evidence.

She will clear her master's name and break free of the shackles of a wealthy family, becoming a worthy heir.

As the young pair journey together, their feelings gradually deepen. Once the dust settles, they join forces as equals to build a business empire together.
