In troubled times, a life of drama, when an iron-blooded warlord meets a cold-blooded actor, a forbidden love that transcends identity and worldliness begins. Su Mubai, the top performer in the troupe, was born with a good skin, and her singing voice was even more melodious and charming. Her song "Farewell My Concubine" captivated countless dignitaries. His figure is soft, but his eyes hide a stubbornness, like a white lotus blooming in the mud, clean and uncontaminated, untainted by the world.
Gu Chengyuan, a young warlord with a heavy army, is ruthless and iron-blooded. He is the "King of Hell" who scares countless people. He came from the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, indifferent to everything in the world, but that day, he heard Su Mubai's play in the elegant seat of Zuixian Tower.
That one glance was a lifelong entanglement.
Gu Chengyuan forcefully "invited" Su Mubai into the Governor's Mansion, nominally asking him to sing for his mother, but in reality he was imprisoning the white lotus in the palm of his hand. He doesn't understand drama, but he loves to see his magnificence in costume; he doesn't understand love, but he can't allow others to take another look at Su Mubai.
Su Mubai hated him, his tyranny, and his plundering. He was like a bird with broken wings, struggling in a golden cage, but he could never escape Gu Chengyuan's control.
However, in troubled times, it is often difficult to balance love and family. When foreign enemies invade and the mountains and rivers are shattered, how will this pair of lovers with different identities make a choice?
Should we continue to indulge in this flashy dream, or should we join hands to fight the national crisis?
