[Lengli Actor Boss × The Pearl of the Sober Family], two-way redemption, two strengths in troubled times.
When we first met on a rainy night, he handed me an invitation.
Shen Weixi is the most dazzling pearl of the Shen family in Peiping. She returned from studying abroad, full of poems and books, but became a bargaining chip in her father's political chess game.
An anonymous secret letter reveals the shocking old case of her fiancé; a forced marriage by her family pushes her to the edge of the cliff.
When she was desperate, she thought of the actor Jiang Budu with frost in his eyes backstage at Guanghe Tower.
He only said: "Ms. Shen, cooperation is okay. Can you afford the price?"
Everyone thought Jiang Budu was just an actor.
The rich and powerful admire him because they love his appearance and covet his voice.
No one knew that what he was singing was a play, and what he was setting up was a plot; as his sleeves fluttered, information was secretly transmitted; beneath the rouge, there was another face.
Until that day, in order to protect Shen Weixi, he broke his disguise in front of everyone.
With the bullet loaded, he smiled and said to the frightened dignitaries in the city: "In the next scene, I will sing "Bloodbath Hall"."
Only then did Shen Weixi know——
The token of love he gave her was a token that could mobilize the underground forces in half of the north.
Every line he taught her to sing was an encrypted top-secret instruction.
The future he promised was not to elope, but to join forces to fight for a way out on the chessboard of this troubled world.
"Jiang Budu," she held the gun he gave her tightly and asked softly in the smoke-filled dawn, "If this play is destined to be a tragedy, will you still sing it?"
He wiped away the blood on her cheek, his eyes as hot as when they first met:
"For you, I will go through this boundless sea of suffering, regardless of the outcome."
