The Peerless Indigo: Shen Qingluo

Shen Qingluo, the legitimate daughter of the Qingluo Workshop, barely escaped after her family was massacred. Carrying her family's secret indigo dyeing technique, she endured in hiding for ten years. She enters the capital to compete in the Grand Brocade Assembly, where her uniquely brilliant indigo dyeing craft astonishes the court and the common folk alike, and step by step she uncovers the truth behind the massacre ten years ago. Facing the layered schemes of Consort Xiao and the weaving master Qian, she maneuvers and does battle with them through the secret art of heavenly indigo—avenging her family and restoring the lost craft to the world. In the end she rebuilds the Qingluo Workshop, finds kindred spirits to stand by her side, and with the indigo at her fingertips writes the sharpness and steadfastness of a woman's spirit.
