Song Bingxia was a celebrated actress known for her talent. She was beloved in her previous life, but died in an accident.
When she opened her eyes again, she discovered she had transmigrated into a script she'd read before her death. She had become the neglected second wife of the Great Cheng Kingdom's Defender General, and though she lived cautiously, the entire household still looked down on her.
Furious at the treatment her predecessor had received, Song Bingxia angrily flung the script aside (if there even was a script) and scoffed. "What's the point of all this romance? I'd rather build a career!"
Before long, a theatrical troupe with an endless array of performances became a sensation in the capital. Every performer backed by its mysterious owner became a star, captivating the entire city.
With her whole heart devoted to her career, Song Bingxia's life grew more and more comfortable.
But there were always people who couldn't stand to see her doing well. When her daughter-in-law suddenly became rich, Old Madam Bai pretended to be ill, hoping to keep her obediently confined to the inner quarters by making her wait on her.
Song Bingxia: Good medicine tastes bitter, Old Madam. I'm only looking out for your health.
The Bai sisters-in-law deliberately exclude Song Bingxia from a banquet? Song Bingxia: Sorry, the host is my fan. So which one of us isn't qualified to attend?
Bai Qing hasn't returned from the battlefield, but his concubine has already arrived? Song Bingxia: Wonderful! General, please sign the divorce papers!
Bai Qing: ??? Who said we were getting divorced?
Bai Qing: Asking for advice: My wife only cares about her career. How can I claim a place in her heart as her husband? Urgent, waiting for a reply!
