Princess Sheng Tao Tao of the Sheng Xuan Kingdom is an upright and kind-hearted individual. However, her rebellious behavior causes the emperor considerable headaches, leading to her banishment to her fiefdom, Qingcheng, for self-reflection. Once a rich and fertile region known for its garment-making culture, Qingcheng has seen its skilled artisans dwindle as the young leave for work, leaving only the elderly and children behind. With a natural love for beauty, Sheng Tao Tao witnesses the unique dressmaking skills of the elderly and resolves to promote them.
Her efforts lead to a court order on elder care, introducing innovative practices that honor and support the elderly. By fostering a culture of respect and filial piety, and creating work opportunities for older artisans, she stimulates their craftsmanship, resulting in exquisite garments. This revival reactivates Qingcheng's economy, attracting young workers back and restoring prosperity to the region.
