"He has been playing other people's games all his life, but in the end he was unable to complete his own game."
Tianjin Wei, by the Qingshui River, Zhang Yan, the second young master of the Zhang family, bumped into the famous actress Tong Xiao Liuyue's stunning appearance under the light since she was a child. After ten years of companionship, on and off the stage, Zhang Yan's emotions have already surpassed those of close friends, and turned into ardent passion and crazy possession that cannot be tolerated in the world. A scar on his wrist is a tragic proof that he didn't get what he asked for.
Tong Xiaoliu seems to be free and easy, but he is burdened with the stigma of "bullying his master and destroying his ancestors". He struggles to breathe amid the abandonment of his master, the debt of love in the world, and the burning love of Zhang Yan who is pressing every step of the way. He thought he would be safe if he escaped, but he didn't know that fate had already written the ending.
When the bad news came that Tong Xiaoliu's voice was mutilated by poison and he eventually committed suicide by jumping into a river with his lover, Zhang Yan's world completely collapsed. Following the instructions in the suicide note, he resolutely went south to Shanghai to find the famous actor who looked exactly like Tong Xiaoliu but was as cold as ice.
Life is like a dream, love is deep and lifeless. This is a tragic song of the Republic of China about obsession, protection, betrayal and redemption. Under the wheel of the times, everyone is an actor, singing helpless farewell on his own destiny.
