"They say actors are ruthless, but the deepest love in the world is hidden in opera; they say bitches have no righteousness, but the greatest righteousness in this court is all performed in gongs and drums. Since I have been reborn as an actor, I will sing a sober Farewell My Concubine on this human stage."
The heroine Shen Qingdai has grown from the humblest actress step by step to the "Qing Yi Order" who can stir up troubles in the court. Throughout her life, she has experienced countless betrayals, deceptions, and tests of life and death, but she has always been clear-headed—clearly knowing what she wants, clearly knowing who is the enemy and who is the friend, and clearly knowing that in this cannibalistic world, only she is her own overlord.
She will not be Yu Ji, Bai Suzhen, or a supporting role in anyone's story. What she wants to do is to be the opera singer. Watch Farewell My Concubine, watch the end of the hero, watch the country change hands, and then sing all this to others.
"A play within a play" + "a case within a case". The heroine did not travel through time to become a princess, but to become an ordinary swordsman in the "Qinghe Class" of the Jiangnan Kun Opera Troupe. She used operas ("The Peony Pavilion", "The Injustice of Dou E", "Farewell My Concubine", "The Romance of the West Chamber", "The Legend of the White Snake", "Butterfly Lovers", "The Fairy Match", "The Peach Blossom Fan", "You Dragon Played with the Phoenix", "The Palace of Eternal Life", "Mu Lian Saves His Mother", "Zhong Kui Marries His Sister", "Full Hall" "Wat") wisdom on the stage (strategy, military skills, understanding of people's hearts) and "observation" ability in the theater troupe, solved major court cases, and finally counterattacked from an actor to a legendary figure in charge of the royal spy agency (such as Jinyiwei or Dongchang).
