Famous Person in Decline: Mourning in Beijing

Main plot: Shen Jinghong, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Civil Affairs, was overthrown overnight and became the daughter of a criminal minister. In order to find out the truth about the unjust case and raise her young brother, she remained anonymous and entered the low-status Baixi Troupe at the time by relying on the poetry and music she had learned since childhood and her precise grasp of the aesthetic trends of the upper class aristocracy. She is not an actress, but a producer and screenwriter in the "outfit" tradition. She combines elegant poems and songs with popular market stories to create one drama after another that attracts crowds of people. She single-handedly made several famous actors famous, established the largest theatrical troupe in Beijing, "Fenghua Society", and controlled the entertainment industry at her fingertips. She used the stage as a battlefield and public opinion as a weapon. While dealing with various dignitaries and peers, she got closer to the core of the family injustice case. Finally, she used a "performance" that shocked the whole city to bring down her enemies and vindicated the family. She also became a legendary woman who created an era.
