Xie Jingyi is dead.
After falling from a ten-meter-high platform, she only had time to say "I should promise you" to her ex-boyfriend before she died.
When she opened her eyes again, she became an orphan in the slums of Shanghai in 1933, and was about to be sold into the lowest brothel by her uncle.
While escaping, she picked up a notice for Paramount to recruit singers.
With food, accommodation and a guaranteed monthly salary, this was the only way she could survive.
She went on stage and sang an English song, which amazed the whole audience.
When thanking the audience, she saw her ex-boyfriend, Shen Qiwu.
Exactly the same face, exactly the same name, but he looked at her like he was looking at a liar with unknown origins.
He doesn't remember her.
OK.
If you don't remember, you won't remember.
She would spend her whole life making him fall in love with her again.
