-Independent screenwriter Du Huanian became famous at a young age, but fell into a creative bottleneck in the fifth year of his career. Because she insisted on making martial arts films that were not favored by the market, she broke up with her partner Li Wen, and was accused of plagiarism by her subordinate Xu Muhua due to a dispute over her signature. After losing the lawsuit, Du Huanian lost everything and hid back in his hometown.
There, she met Zeng Qian, the daughter of junior high school teacher Hua Juan. Two women frustrated by reality supported each other, investigated the truth behind Teacher Hua's death, and found diaries and old letters in his old house, rekindling their faith in writing. Du Huanian restarted the studio under the pseudonym "Fang Sheng" and adapted the comics to break the situation, but he was once again involved in a complicated entanglement with his former collaborator Shen He.
Shen He controlled the capital and used the past events of Du Huanian's father, He Wenqian, as a bargaining chip to put pressure on him. Du Huanian gradually uncovered the truth about the power operation of his father's generation, and confessed the past in front of the public, and did not hesitate to use self-destruction to complete the counterattack against Shen He. In the end, she lost her reputation and identity, but regained her inner freedom, lived in seclusion in the mountains, and continued to make a living with her pen.
