In an era where the short video and live streaming economy are all the rage, Lin Lan, an ordinary girl from a rural area in Northeast China, longs to get rid of poverty and live a refined and decent life. She once believed that as long as she mastered the "laws of celebrities" and learned how to package herself, she could transcend social classes and achieve a counterattack in life. From a garment factory worker to a "sophisticated white-collar worker", from an ordinary wife to a short video celebrity, she has been addicted to the false prosperity under the filter. The traffic in the live broadcast room, the rewards from fans, and the cooperation with brands gave her a brief taste of success. But when the illusion built up by lies shattered, she realized that she had fallen into an abyss from which she could not escape. She used online loans and credit cards to fill her material vanity, and used short-lived emotions to express her inner emptiness. She cheated, had plastic surgery, borrowed money, invested, and was gradually ensnared by money and desire, until her debts exploded, debt collection came to her door, and her family was torn apart. The husband who loved her deeply chose to leave the house, and her relatives were also trapped in the quagmire because of her choice.
