Lin Man, a top theater director in his previous life, died in a stage accident and traveled through time to become a bullied concubine in an ancient palace. There is a mysterious power called "The Viewer" in her body - she can foresee the moment and create illusions, but every time she uses it, she will pay the price of blindness and shortened life.
Her aunt, Cui, failed to kill her with poison, so she was imprisoned in a side courtyard; her aunt, Lin Zhao, appeared to be gentle, but in fact, she poisoned the tea with chronic poison, and even teamed up with Princess Zhao to frame and steal the imperial jade pendant at the embroidery banquet. Lin Man relied on his directorial thinking and the power of the "viewer" to fight back step by step: first, he used the hands of the Marquis to divorce Mr. Cui, and then designed Lin Zhao to expose his crime. But the real mastermind behind the scenes is the mysterious businessman Shen Heyi - he summoned her across time and space, and all the suffering is to ripen the "spectator" in her body so that he can seize her body.
Lin Man was forced to fight with Shen He, and narrowly escaped death in the midst of blindness, betrayal, sea of fire, and wolves. Lin Zhao changed from an enemy to a pawn being used, and was eventually blown up to save Lin Man. His life and death are unknown. During the decisive battle to worship the heaven, Lin Man used "spectators" to create a group illusion, revealing Shen Heyi's conspiracy to bury the gunpowder to kill the king. Shen Heyi was arrested and went crazy, and Lin Man was almost blind.
She refused all awards and opened the "Guanxin Pavilion" theater in the capital. Years later, blind, she sat silently listening to a play, surrounded by close friends such as Shen Han and Mr. He. She finally understood: the most advanced performance is not to deceive anyone, but to perform until the end, even fate cannot tell the truth from the false. On and off the stage, it's all about life.
