Modern-day photographer Shi Ji accidentally slips into old Shanghai and meets a strikingly handsome, cool and refined star: Bai Yushuang, the famous Shanghai performer known for singing the Shanghai style of Peking opera. Mr. Bai!
Shi Ji is instantly captivated and hopes to use Bai Yushuang's beauty to break through a career slump, but he refuses outright:
"If you want to see my face, buy a ticket to the Lanxin Grand Theatre. You can't photograph me for free." When Shi Ji actually goes to the theater, she sees him jumping from several stories up!
Whoa! Is that part of the act too?!
Who would have thought that Mr. Bai is not only versatile, but also beautiful, temperamental, and a little crazy!
Later, Shi Ji discovers the secret hidden in his heart and develops even more complicated feelings for him...
After all, what artist could fail to love their muse?
"I come running to you, to fulfill a promise that can only end in death..."

Theme: The flower of life will eventually fade, but the flower of art lives forever
The heroine and the young couple cast shadows on each other
That last sentence is so eye-popping. . At that time, we were really concerned about family affairs, national affairs, and world affairs. Shanghai is very, very good now The author is really great. The characters created by him are more three-dimensional than many of the novels about the Republic of China that I have read. Family and country are the biggest background of the Republic of China. No one can escape the times.
Well, Zhejiang people say, we Zhejiang do not have the concept of "Zhejiang dialect" because the pronunciation is different ten miles apart. The dialects in the southern and northern parts of a city are not exactly the same, let alone two cities. Even Ningbo and Zhoushan, the syllables in some places are still different. Needless to say, Wenzhou is simply Japanese.
An artist will really collapse if his face is ruined, and something he is proud of will be lost. Lao Bai seems to have low self-esteem?
What a cool name design. After reading the name of the heroine, the 27-year-old photographer seems to think about the same issues as when he was a graduate student, but his creation seems to be about thinking about these issues over and over again.
It's so good. I finished reading it in one sitting ❤️❤️❤️😚😚😚
Actors who strayed from the country were completely brainwashed by the ZZ family at that time. Who knows the character of the opera house?
Xiao Caitou reminds me of a drama. The heroine lives into the next century to wait for the future hero. It really makes me cry. When we meet again, one is like the rising sun and the other is like the setting sun.
There is God's will in the dark, "can't go to Nanjing", it can't be the Nanjing Massacre🥺
