Lin Sui'an's family was driven to desperation by hunger, cold, and illness. To save her seriously ill mother and younger brother, she traded herself for nine taels of silver and went through twists and turns to enter the Marquis's mansion as a maid. Within the deep courtyard, the rules were strict and people's hearts complex; a single misstep could ruin her future. Lin Sui'an did not vie for temporary limelight nor easily reveal all her skills; instead, relying on her intelligence, discretion, and embroidery skills, she steadily established a foothold step by step from a training maid. She apprenticed to learn her craft, turned her rewards into capital, and earned her first truly self-owned silver through embroidery and bracelets. Learning that her family was safe, she understood that saving them was only the beginning; her true way out was to redeem her own life with her own hands.
