As Cai Yi Que rose to prominence in the Capital, the Nishang Tailor Shop suffered an unprecedented setback.
Wu Caiyun had used the garments Meng Qingniang made as a stepping stone, earning herself high regard at Nishang. Intent on pitting herself against Meng Qingniang, she drew up a list of materials based on her own ideas.
Lin Zhaoyue, the owner of Nishang, was skeptical of these materials. "Aren't these just following Cai Yi Que's style?" she asked. "It's not that we can't follow the trend, but we were once the largest tailor shop in the Capital. Following others inevitably lowers our stature."
