As China becomes a major commercial economy, the silk, embroidering, and weaving trade is booming – and a few influential families have risen to the top. The industry’s powerhouse is the Gusu District in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province. And arguably the greatest weaving dynasty of them all is the Ren family, which carefully guards the secrets of its weaving prowess. Chinese traditional culture dictates that males are the dominant force in society. As such, the head of the family is nominally Ren Xue Tang (Xu Hai Qiao), a gentle-hearted soul with a love for poetry and philosophy – and no head for business. His wife of some 10 years Shen Cui Xi (Jiang Qin Qin) is the polar opposite. Fiery, opinionated, and fiercely competitive, she keeps the family business firmly on track, with her peerless embroidery skills.

But when he tries to close the net on a ring of smugglers, Ren Xue Tang gets into trouble and encounters Zeng Bao Qin (Yang Rong), formerly the love of his life. Following the accident, Zeng Bao Qin finds herself in the Ren family home and face to face with Shen Cui Xi, her bitterest love rival. But hard times are ahead for the family as enemies circle, and it seems that only a partnership between these two women will help them avoid a painful fall from grace. Can they put their rivalry aside to cooperate – or will jealousy and love stand in their way?

In a fantasy land populated by fierce mortal clans and a wide pantheon of warring deities, a young, virtuous, and loyal man named Mu Chen (Roy Wang) searches for answers – despite the ravages of war, love, and family secrets.

He is the son of the clan leader of the Mu, and has long been obsessed with finding out what has become of his natural mother – who was forced to flee Mu lands to protect him when he was still a young boy.

Mu Chen decides to embark on a strict training program that he hopes will provide him with the skills he needs on his quest for truth and justice.

One day, while making his way down the Spiritual Road, Mu Chen comes across a woman who is being attacked by violent assailants. Mu Chen comes to her rescue and soon discovers that she is Luo Li (Na Na Ouyang), a princess from one of the four clans of the Eastern Heavens realm.

Usually cold and aloof, Luo Li is grateful for Mu Chen’s assistance and is charmed by him. The two become close, agree to join forces – and eventually discover that they are romantically attracted to one another.

Will love come calling for Mu Chen and Luo Li? Will Mu Chen ever discover the whereabouts of his mother? And who will win the fierce battle for dominance as gods and mortals clash in a test of strength, skills, magic, and cunning?

This drama was based on a novel of the same name, written by Li Hu, and published in 2013. The novel also spawned a hit animated series.
