Home/Drama/The Grandweaver's Afternoon Nap

by john1208·Translated by Novel AI Studio
Shirin was the undisputed prodigy of seasonal weaving, until her fiancé's manipulative family forced her into a harsh desert exile to ensure their own political dominance. Five years later, a strange courier delivers a beautifully carved box containing her old silver weaving shuttle and a letter declaring she has been granted the prestigious 'Master's Boon.' Shirin returns to the capital, only to find her fiancé Navid with a weeping stand-in. His excuse? 'You were gone too long, I needed someone.' Too exhausted for drama, Shirin tosses her heavy engagement ring into the nearest waste-bin and walks out to start a peaceful life in the Sunlit Bazaar. As Navid realizes what he's lost - eventually sobbing on his knees while she ignores him to pet a stray cat - Shirin focuses on her newfound found family and afternoon naps. But her sweet old mentor, Master Qadim, is pushing the Master's Boon on her a little too eagerly. When the ultimate reward turns out to be a sinister trap designed to drain her soul into the city's failing weather-loom, can the laziest genius in the world muster the energy to save herself without ruining her cozy life?
