Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Yui is a teenage seamstress who was reincarnated into a noble family, the Nuir. With her impeccable needlework and rare ability to see fairies, Yui is nothing short of a prodigy. There's just one problem: she has no talent for blessweaving, the magical sewing technique exclusive to those of Nuir blood!

Deemed worthless by her parents, Yui is trapped in a tragic and lonely cycle of abuse—until she's hired by a dashing new master who encourages her to reach her full potential. It turns out Yui still has a lot to learn about her special gifts, her vengeful family, and the world of the nobility!
