In the early Republic of China, Su Wantang, a martial dan actress from Tianjin's "Fuqing Opera Troupe", was renowned as the "Living Yu Ji" for her performance. Yet under her opera makeup lay a secret—anti-Japanese intelligence her father gave her before his death, sewn into her costume lining. One day, Shen Yanqing, a young warlord marshal, suddenly booked the entire troupe, demanding she sing *Farewell My Concubine* alone. To Su's shock, this cold marshal was A Qing, the little beggar she saved a decade ago. They navigated the opera house's red curtains: Shen suspected her of hiding intelligence but was drawn to old feelings stirred by her eyeliner; Su wanted to fulfill her father's wish but lost her composure under his gaze. When Japanese spies broke in to search, was her opera makeup a disguise or evidence? Before the country fell apart, could they reclaim their roles as "Overlord and Concubine" for each other?
