I Wish You a Life Like a Dream

In 1930s Shanghai, the official Xu family, the Lin family that runs a film company, and the Hong family that controls the underworld stand as three rival powers. Their peaceful balance is shattered by the arrival of an outsider, a young opera performer. Jiu Suihong, a famous opera star from the capital, arrives in Shanghai’s bustling Shili Yangchang with her daughter, Duan Tianying, and opens the Fulong Theater. Tianying’s extraordinary talent makes her an instant sensation in Shanghai. She catches the eye of Luo Fusheng, the domineering young master of the Hongyi Society, and Xu Xingcheng, the refined eldest son of an official family who has returned from studying in France. Both pursue her. As the times change and hidden undercurrents stir in people’s hearts, the fates of several remarkable young people from the three families undergo irreversible changes.
