Shen Qinghe, a young girl from a Jiangnan water town, lost her mother at an early age. Mistreated by her stepmother and neglected by her weak father, she qualifies for the provincial Intangible Cultural Heritage competition through the embroidery skills taught by her grandmother. However, her family intends to marry her off for a bride price. Yun Xiuzhen, a veteran master of Suzhou embroidery, cherishes her talent and plight, and sells her final masterwork, "Hundreds of Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix", which took forty years of effort, to fund Shen Qinghe's trip to the provincial capital for the competition. Upon arriving at the training institute, Shen Qinghe faces repeated malicious sabotage from her peer Liu Manyun. Fortunately, with the steadfast help of her best friend Tang Xiaomai, who melts down her own dowry gold threads, she overcomes the crisis in the finals.
