In Jinling in 1927, Su Wantang, a famous Qinhuai River actress, blocked the convoy of warlord Marshal Gu Chengyuan in a "Farewell My Concubine" costume to save his student apprentice, and was forced to become his secret agent. She circulated information among the powerful, but saw her apprentice die in suppression, the troupe be destroyed by a conspiracy, and she was even falsely accused of "madness" and imprisoned in the White Tower. Gu Chengyuan broke with his father during the power struggle, and accidentally discovered Su Wantang's playbook of hidden military skills, and only then did he understand her painstaking efforts to plan and save the country through plays. The Battle of Songhu broke out, and Su Wantang risked his life to deliver the secret report, but "martyrdom" in the ruins. Gu Chengyuan took her legacy and joined the army and joined the revolutionary ranks. Many years later, the two met again in Yan'an. He used the bullet casing as a warning, and she returned her old epaulette. In the dawn of New China, the love and hatred in the troubled times were forged into a footnote of national liberation. This is a tragic song in which a famous actress and a warlord redeem each other in the flames of war, telling the ups and downs of individual destiny and the nirvana of human nature in the great era.
