During the Xuantong period of the late Qing Dynasty, Jiangnan Chuntai Troupe opened its first female-only class, breaking the centuries-old tradition of pear gardens. When Ling Yunzhi, a martial arts student, first saw Shen Yuzheng, the female actor, flying in his sleeves, he felt like he was doomed. He expressed his feelings with a folding fan, and she conveyed her feelings with a string song, and the two hearts were quietly connected amidst the sound of gongs and drums. However, an imperial edict summoned the troupe to the Forbidden City. On the throne, the Nine-Fifth Emperor fell in love with Ling Yunzhi, who was disguised as a woman, at first sight. The golden palace undergoes a sudden change, the mandarin ducks are separated, the jade zither wanders among the people, and the pipa is learned from a teacher while the hair is dyed with frost, and the sound of the strings tells the story of the vicissitudes of life; Yun Zhi is trapped in the palace wall, performing for the king every day, with unsent brocade books hidden in his sleeves. When the Jiangnan pipa language meets the palace costume music, what kind of lonely tragedy will this love affair that began in a dream play eventually compose in the torrent of the times?
