Song Jinse, the top performer in the troupe, became famous in Chunshen with her song "Farewell My Concubine". She thought her fiancé Zhou Muhan was her destination and her junior sister Lin Wanyin was her relative. Until that night on the stage, Zhou Muhan publicly searched for the "secret message" in her sleeve and shot her throat to pieces. Blood splattered on the costumes, and screams broke out from the audience. She saw Lin Wanyin snuggling into Zhou Muhan's arms, and the two looked at each other and smiled. Only then did she realize that this murderous plot had been laid out from the day of their engagement.
When she opened her eyes again, she was back three months ago. In the bronze mirror was his intact self, and Lin Wanyin's sweet voice came from outside the door - everything was still in time.
In this life, she pretended to have amnesia and escaped the first cup of poisonous tea. She took advantage of the obsession of the New Army Marshal Huo Jingshen and turned the troupe sisters into informants. She used the opera words as passwords and the hall as a cover to weave an invisible chess game under everyone's nose. She leads her enemies into the trap step by step and makes her allies willing to become her sword.
Zhou Muhan thought she was still the actress who was at the mercy of others. He didn't know that every step he took was in her chess game.
When she stands on the stage again and sings "Farewell My Concubine", those kneeling in the audience will be those who owe her life.
The play, this time, was written by her.
One-sentence summary: The reborn actor uses the play as a sword, and pays the debt with blood every step of the way.
