After a car explosion, Taichi heir Xu Xingchen accidentally takes the place of a minor actor and steps into the entertainment industry.
She only wants to quietly investigate the truth behind the explosion, but a glass of spiked red wine sent her trending, courtesy of movie queen Zhao Ying.
When the whole internet mocks her for scheming her way to the top, Xu Xingchen mixes red wine with instant noodle seasoning. “Quick, hide! Granny's here to take out the trash!”
[Hahahaha! Red wine with pickled cabbage flavor? Haters, at least taste your made-up stories before posting them!]
As a wave of industry blacklisting orders descends, the head of the Yan family hands her a contract for the blockbuster variety show "Rebirth", setting her on the road to a comeback.
Under the surface, the show is rife with tension:
The drama queen of a movie star giggles. “Don't embarrass yourself showing off those amateur skills.”
Her two-faced best friend hides her name tag. “Don't even think about leeching off our top-tier star's popularity!”
Haters swarm her: “Get out of showbiz, you washed-up nobody!”
Xu Xingchen: “The thirty-six forms of Taichi are just what you need to deal with creepy crap from the underworld!”
When she splits a wooden post with her bare hands, the livestream chat goes wild, begging her to take them as disciples.
When she takes an autistic girl to beat up thugs on a foreign street, teaches a stunt double to use Yubu footwork for difficult moves, and dazzles the international stage with her Taichi skills, the top comment on the official site reads: “Now this is real cultural outreach!”
That night at the wrap party, Yan Yunchuan pins her against the balcony railing and kisses her. “Master Xu, are you avoiding me?”
A stubborn hater insists: “It's just for fun. Why would the head of the Yan family's business empire marry some washed-up nobody?”
That is, until she ventures alone into Y Country to save someone, with the whole internet watching the livestream.
Yan Yunchuan grips her waist, AK-47 in hand. “Wife, are you still running?”
