During the troubled times of the Republic of China, Peking Marshal Shen Muting fell in love with Yanjing piano master Xu Qinghe at first sight. Threatening his family's safety, he put him under house arrest in Jingyuan and turned him into a caged bird. Two years have passed day and night, the tenderness and confrontation in confinement are intertwined, and paranoia and entangled feelings have arisen under hatred. When the rebellion broke out, Shen Muting faked his death and let go. Xu Qinghe went to Shanghai to become a movie actor and made the movie "Prison Bird" based on their past. After three years of separation, he changed his identity and met again as an investor. In troubled times, he was pursued and the old grudges came back one after another. The two confessed their twisted love and debt in the dangerous situation of life and death, broke away from the barriers of imprisonment, crossed the turbulence of time, and finally found the stability of being together in a foreign country. The song "Moonlight" lasted for half their lives. The two people who were trapped in the cage finally let their love and hate settle down and grow into a long-lasting tenderness.
Purpose: Based on the imprisoned love between the young marshal and the piano player in the context of the Republic of China, it tells the story of how a bound soul reconciles with past paranoia and debts, interprets the intertwined affection of love and hate, and expresses the core of breaking through shackles and two-way redemption.
