In the 1990s, Chen Mei was reborn on the day of the factory assessment. She stopped her sister, Chen Ling, from stealing sample clothes—a crime that had once led to her death in her previous life. Using Chen Ling's color blindness to her advantage, Chen Mei tricked her into misidentifying the heart design's color and revealed the plum blossom embroidery inside the clothes, ultimately reclaiming her spot in the factory. Meanwhile, Chen Ling, with the help of their father’s bribe, managed to secure a position in the workshop. Chen Mei’s designs quickly gained recognition, and she landed a major order. In retaliation, Chen Ling hired someone to forge defective clothes that caused skin rashes and staged a scene, even forging the quality inspection report. However, Chen Mei exposed her scheme, and Chen Ling was fired. In her desperation, Chen Ling stole Chen Mei’s design drafts and aligned herself with Factory Director Zhou, flooding the market with low-quality, cheap products to undermine Chen Mei’s factory. However, Chen Mei took a different route, inviting popular singers to promote her high-end line, helping her factory rise to the top of the industry. After Director Zhou fell into a crisis, he expelled Chen Ling from the factory. In a final act of desperation, Chen Ling attempted to set the factory on fire, but Chen Mei managed to stop her. Eventually, Chen Ling was sent to a mental institution, while Chen Mei went on to become a renowned designer years later.
