The top actress Su Li just won the Best Actress trophy and accidentally traveled to Shanghai in 1937.
She became the adopted daughter of a wealthy family, with the same name and appearance, but fell into the trap of a tiger.
In order to protect herself, she used her acting skills to the extreme: she acted as an innocent socialite in front of senior Japanese military officials, but secretly took down confidential information; she transformed into a hot-blooded schoolgirl in the circle of patriotic youths, secretly delivering news.
She thought it was just another immersive performance.
It wasn't until she witnessed her adoptive father being tortured and killed by the Japanese army while trying to protect her that she held onto the blood-stained information and felt utter hatred for the first time.
In the spotlight she was once familiar with, she is no longer a performer but a true warrior.
In the end, she chose to detonate explosives at the Japanese military headquarters at the cost of her life.
Amidst the earth-shattering noise, she seemed to hear the waves of applause at the Golden Horse Awards ceremony.
