share time: 2026-02-08 06:08:20

Lin Xiaoman, owner of "Cloth Hall" in a Jiangnan town, spends her days mending clothes and giving neighbors osmanthus cakes—no one suspects the sword hidden beneath her needlework. A decade ago, she was the "Protector of the Nine Regions" who vanquished evil cultivators with nothing but a common robe. When black-clad thieves break in to steal the "Nine Regions Token," she’s forced to drop her "harmless" act. Now the evil cultivators seek the token to unleash an ancient demon, and Lin must take up her sword again. But this time, she has more to lose: her naive new apprentice Zhu, who follows her everywhere and takes a knife for her—yet his jade pendant matches the evil leader’s? And the "wait for me" note from her lover, who died protecting her, is now in the hands of the cult’s chief... When the sword under the cloth is drawn again, can she guard both the realm and the warmth she’s fought so hard to keep?
