What Ji Xiaoman wants to do most is to sell the opera box left by his master and pay off the debt of the Sihai Theater Troupe, which is about to break up. But during the third update of the first night show, the Paper General on the stage suddenly lost a hand, and everyone in the town said that it had never had a hand.
From that day on, wherever the troupe went, there would be an old incident that no one wanted to mention again: the extra empty seats at the wedding, the bride who was mid-singing by the river, and the lights behind the armistice monument that refused to be turned off. To find out the truth, they have to go backstage, dig through old files, and knock on the door of the person involved; to finish the play, they have to ask first, who can bear the burden of this past incident being revealed?
On stage, we must guard against fake people taking advantage of us, and off stage we must guard against landlords collecting debts. Some people just want to make a meal, some want to get an explanation for the deceased, and some people don't even understand why they are in the play. When the gong sounds, no one can leave temporarily.
