In Shanghai in 1928, 18-year-old Lin Wanyu was ruthlessly abandoned by her fiancé Shen Zhiyuan. This maid's daughter who once devoted all her life to love was humiliated in public on a rainy night, but she saw hope in despair - a recruitment notice from Star Film Company.
She has no background, no resources, only a pair of talking eyes and innate acting talent. From being a handyman on the set to acting as a substitute, from supporting role to heroine, Lin Wanyu has proved what true strength is with her shocking performances time and time again.
She was entangled by her scumbag ex, suppressed by popular actresses, and maliciously slandered by public opinion... She never backed down and only let her works speak for herself. When those who had looked down on her shut up, and when she stood on the international podium to win glory for the country, everyone understood: This humble maid's daughter will eventually become the most dazzling star in the bright starry sky.
Even more fortunately, she also met someone who really understood her - the talented director Gu Haotian. He admired her talent and felt sorry for her strength.
This is a story about dreams, struggle and growth, a counterattack journey from inferiority to self-confidence, from humbleness to legend. Lin Wanyu used her actions to tell the world: Origin cannot determine destiny, only strength can rewrite life!
A legend in the film industry of the Republic of China, the dazzling counterattack of a girl from the bottom! His acting skills overwhelmed the audience, and his strength slapped the scumbag in the face!
