The Glimmer of Ludao: Under the Undercurrent, There Are Stars

"Tinghai Xiaozhu" in Zengcuo'an, Ludao is a tavern full of literary and artistic atmosphere. Resident singer Lin tide works here to make a living while taking care of his father who suffers from Alzheimer's disease. She is talented but trapped in reality. She faces financial pressure because she refuses vulgar commercial performances and sticks to the bottom line. One night, the mysterious man Gu Yanche came to help drive away the drunkards who harassed her. The first meeting left a deep impression on her. Later, Lin tide discovered that he was a high-end hotel executive, but misunderstood him as a cynical rich second generation. When the demolition notice was issued and the store was on the verge of closing, Gu Yanche took the initiative to contact Lin tide and proposed cooperation: he was willing to invest in setting up a media company to package her debut, on the condition that "Tinghai Xiaozhu" was preserved. There is a mystery behind what seems to be a business transaction - Gu Yanche is actually the illegitimate son of the Gu Group. This time he came to Xiamen to secretly investigate the past of his biological mother, and the old residence of Lin tide's family is the key clue. The two struggle between interests and emotions, and gradually uncover each other's scarred past. One is an idealist who is forced to compromise in order to protect his memory, and the other is a down-and-out nobleman seeking self-proof in the shadow of his family. They repeatedly negotiated at the negotiation table under the morning fog and neon lights of Gulangyu Island, and finally reached a subtle tacit understanding: Lin tide entered the mainstream as an independent musician, while Gu Yanche took the opportunity to launch an intangible cultural heritage protection plan to fight against the expansion of family capital. When the truth emerged, the two found a resonance in life that transcended class in brokenness and rebirth, and together they wrote a Ludao legend about redemption and growth.
