In the theater of the Republic of China, it was a sin for actors to fall in love.
Hongying is both a stage headgear and a warlord's sword. The word "bound" expresses all the entanglements.
A pair of teenagers, the senior brother plays the role of Overlord, and the junior brother sings Yu Ji, they promise to be together on the stage and stay together year after year.
The troubled times burned away the wind and moon, Gu Jinghuai gave up acting and joined the army, and exchanged his iron and blood for the peace of the mountains and rivers, promising him a successful return to his hometown and a lifetime.
But the war is about to end, the general's bones are buried on the battlefield, and the promise is broken before dawn.
From then on, Cheng Yanqing reached the top of the pear garden and became a famous figure. The whole hall was empty and she stayed alone all her life.
At the end of his golden age, he took off his rouge costume, wore a plain white wedding suit, and took a wedding photo alone without anyone witnessing it.
In the play, Yu Ji bids farewell to the overlord, but outside the play, he kills himself to enter into a marriage that spans life and death.
The world does not tolerate the love of actors, and the love of teenagers is not allowed in troubled times.
Eventually...
The mountains and rivers are safe, the two horns are sealed as gods, but the two of them will not survive the rest of their lives.
