The Story of Pearl Girl

Raised in torture and abuse, Duanwu risks her life every day harvesting pearls from the sea — but one daunting task offers her a slim chance of freedom.

A brutal truth from Yue Yunxius dad leaves Yan Zijing devastated. Cui Shijiu, desperate to redeem herself, seeks help from a banished family member.

Cui Shijiu makes a devious move against Yan Zijing—a desperate act that triggers a treacherous fight for his priceless jewels.

While his bond with Duanwu grows deeper, Yan Zijing gets closer to the bandits who destroyed his family. Zhang Jinran visits a general for military aid.

Duanwu, wounded and distraught, tries to make sense of the deadly ambush. Taking shelter at a suspicious inn, she unexpectedly stumbles into a reunion.

Hoping to promote her jewelry, Duanwu tries to approach Yangzhous socialites and performers. But Yan Zijing is also vying for their attention.

Huan Lang receives an emotional plea from her ex-fiance. Su Muzhes shop becomes the target of a shadowy conspiracy.

While Su Muzhes fate hinges on the outcome of a public trial, Zhang Jinran and Yan Zijing are determined to help her through the crisis.

Zheng Zhiheng threatens to withdraw his investment from Su Muzhes liquidated business. Yan Zijing faces another deadly trap.

Su Muzhes new jewelry becomes an instant hit on the market, prompting her competitors to hatch a sabotage campaign.

Su Muzhes team reaches a breakthrough in manufacturing techniques. Meanwhile, Yangzhous jewelry dealers battle to impress a discerning buyer.

Zhang Jinran faces numerous challenges in his investigation. As Zheng Zhihengs life hangs in the balance, his father presents him with a tough choice.

Zhang Jinran and Yan Zijing scramble to locate Su Muzhe. A startling revelation gives Yan Zijing a bitter dose of reality.

Just as Zhang Jinran gets an opportunity to hold Yuchi Wuyi accountable, the poison afflicting Yan Zijing threatens to claim his life.
