Luo Yinniang, the Tang Dynasty’s greatest dancer, is poisoned by her own apprentice. When she wakes, she has become Su Zhaodi, a village girl in the 1970s. Her biological father kept her unregistered for fifteen years to curry favor with the powerful. Her grandmother sold her to an elderly widower for the bride price, and her aunt sent her to the supply and marketing cooperative director’s bed in exchange for a recommendation letter to the arts troupe.
She won’t put up with it anymore. Drawing on the wisdom of two lifetimes, she plays the obedient victim and turns other people’s power to her advantage. She fights her way out of the woodshed and gets her household registration, secretly studies math and science with a professor branded a rightist while working in a tea plantation, then earns her place in the city arts troupe on merit, foiling the endless schemes against her... But on the eve of the college entrance exam, her “family” locks her in the woodshed again...
She nearly misses the exam, but manages to save herself in time and gets into Jinghua University. From being framed and targeted, she carefully plots her way up, going from a temporary worker to the arts troupe’s star performer. When the lights come up on the Spring Festival Gala stage, she wants the people who abandoned and trampled her to see with their own eyes how this “useless girl” stands before the entire nation and dances her own “Rebirth.”
The man who was saved by her mother years ago, the youngest and most promising bachelor in the capital, stares intently at the files in his hands. He knows she is hiding a secret capable of shocking the world.
