The town is known for its exquisite embroidery craftsmanship, and the embroidery lady is the best embroiderer in town. Her name is Mei Niang, and her embroidery is lifelike and known as "living embroidery".
When she was young, Mei Niang married a wealthy businessman, but unfortunately, her husband met with an accident during a long trip and has not been heard from since. Mei Niang was grief-stricken, but she did not give up embroidery, but poured all her emotions into her work. Her embroidery is thus more vivid, as if each piece has a soul.
However, Mei Niang's skills have also aroused the covetousness of some ill-intentioned people. There is a greedy merchant in the town named Zhao Cai, who wants to get Mei Niang's embroidery as a way to make a windfall. Zhao Cai proposed to Mei Niang many times to ** buy her embroidery, but Mei Niang politely refused. For her, Mei Niang's embroidery is not only a work of art, but also her thoughts about her husband and memories of her past life.
Zhao Cai saw that the soft one was not good, so he decided to come to the hard one. One night, he sent someone to sneak into Mei Niang's house and steal all her embroidery. When Mei Niang found out, she was overwhelmed with grief, she knew that her hard work had been stolen, and her soul seemed to have been sucked away. In desperation, Mei Niang chose to end her life.
**Ten Thousand Fans Incentive Program After Mei Niang's death, her ghost did not leave the town. Her ghost is attached to her embroidery, and in the dead of night, the people of the town can always hear the sound of embroidery needles coming from the embroidery room, as if Mei Niang is still continuing her embroidery. After Zhao Cai got Mei Niang's embroidery, he tried to *** but he found that whenever someone tried to touch these embroidery, the patterns on the embroidery would suddenly come to life and turn into all kinds of terrifying monsters, scaring people away.
Zhao Cai finally realized that Mei Niang's embroidery was cursed. He tried to burn the embroidery, but the flames simply could not get close to the embroidery. In one attempt, Zhao Cai was injured by a monster on the embroidery, and since then he has gone crazy and can no longer live a normal life.
Mei Niang's ghost wandered the town for many years, until one day, a young embroidery apprentice came to the town. The apprentice admired Mei Niang's skills so much that he found a portrait of her in her home and practiced embroidery in front of the statue every day. Mei Niang's ghost was touched by the sincerity of this apprentice, and she decided to teach him her skills.
Under Mei Niang's guidance, this apprentice's embroidery skills improved by leaps and bounds, and his works even surpassed the level of Mei Niang's life. Mei Niang's ghost was finally at peace, and her soul turned into a wisp of light smoke and dissipated into the air the moment an embroidery was completed.
Since then, the people in the town can no longer hear the sound of embroidery at night, and Mei Niang's embroidery has also been properly preserved and has become a valuable heritage of the town. And the story of Mei Niang has also become a good story in the town, reminding people that true art is immortal, and greed and deception will only bring disaster in the end.
