Shen Yuniang became a celebrity in the Beijing theater scene with her performance in "The Peony Pavilion", but because of the incident with the deceased wife of the minister of household affairs, she was entangled by the "innocent actor" Gu Yanzhi. Gu Yanzhi came to the troupe every day to deliver soup, and when something happened he would hide behind her and pretend to be weak, causing everyone to praise him for being "gentle and considerate". But Shen Yuniang's sharp eyes had long seen the calculation behind his eyes - what he wanted was not her, but the value of a "substitute". Faced with the oppression of the hypocritical class leader, the forced marriage by the greedy landlord, and the provocation of the "mistress" hiding behind Gu Yanzhi, Shen Yuniang dared to argue with the hem of her costume: "You want to use me as a substitute? Consider your own weight first!" Gu Yanzhi looked at her fierceness, and a smile appeared in his innocent eyes: This substitute is more interesting than imagined.
