The Flowers Bloom and the Moon is Full That Year

In 1884, Zhou Ying followed her adoptive father, Zhou Laosi, to Guanzhong. After losing all his money, Zhou Laosi sold Zhou Ying to the Shen family as a maid. When Zhou Ying escaped, she hid in the sedan chair of Wu Ping, the eldest son of the Wu family's east courtyard. With a strong business acumen, Zhou Ying caught the attention of Wu Weiwen and was allowed to stay with the Wu family. Shen Xingyi suspected that the eldest son of the Shen family was assassinated by Wu Ping and injured him. To save the comatose Wu Ping, Zhou Ying married into the Wu family to bring good fortune. After Wu Ping's death, the Wu family faced dire straits, and Zhou Ying decided to revive the Wu family's east courtyard. Zhou Ying invested in the Shaanxi Loom Factory but suffered opposition from the government and the anti-industry movement, leading to the imminent reconstruction of the Shaanxi Machinery Weaving Workshop. To save Zhou Ying, who was imprisoned, the Wu family gave up all shares of the Shaanxi Machinery Weaving Workshop and the raw silk contract with foreign merchants in exchange for her life. After her release from prison, Zhou Ying reignited her fighting spirit and established the Jingyang Cloth Factory, bringing new vitality to the Wu family's business. During the Boxer Rebellion, Zhou Ying took it upon herself to revive the Wu family's enterprise in her own way, leading the reform path during turbulent times.
