Chu Tian, a talented scholar from Peking University who came from a distinguished background but just wanted to live in peace, was completely deviated from his life trajectory under the "pincer attack" of his childhood sweetheart wife Xiao Xiaoxiao and his powerful aunt Wu Xiaolan. Aunt Wu Xiaolan, the head of Xingmeng Wenhua Media Group, took a fancy to Chu Tian's unique androgynous temperament that had been "transformed" since childhood. She forced him into the entertainment industry and set an incredible rule: he must debut with the female stage name and image of "Chu Lan" and can only play the heroine. Only by completing the ultimate goal of "winning the best actress in the three major film festivals" can he terminate the "contract" and completely restore his identity as "Chu Tian". Thus, the urban legend began. During the day, he is the up-and-coming movie queen "Chu Lan" in the spotlight. With his stunning performances in dramas such as "Wu Zetian" and "Diao Chan", he quickly became a top star and gained the love of countless fans and the praise (or jealousy) of his peers. At night, after taking off his makeup, he turned back into the Chu Tian who tried to maintain a normal image of a husband in front of his wife Xiao Xiaoxiao. This double life brings about the ultimate tearing of identity. He enjoyed the freedom and creativity he gained in performing as "Chu Lan" and experienced an unprecedented sense of professional fulfillment; but he felt guilty and painful because of his concealment of Xiao Xiaoxiao and the increasing number of lies he told.
Concept: Chutian faces the conflict between "gender identity disorder" and "social role expectations". As "Chu Lan" (female stage name), he enjoyed performances and the spotlight, but as "Chu Tian" he had to face family responsibilities and the identity of a husband. The entertainment industry's ultimate pursuit of "traffic" and "personality" as well as society's stereotypes of "gender" and "career" form double shackles, constantly squeezing Chutian's living space and psychological defense.
