I came in watching with no expectation but was greatly surprised! First of all Huang xiao yun nailed the theme song!

The overall story is a refresher, since it' s has a Peking opera storyline meets movie/production tech!

Female lead is a Peking Opera singer at Shan Ding Ting.( she sings the male part) She likes her senior ( who sings the female counterpart). On one show she messes up her lines because she found out that her senior was going to get engaged to someone else. She eventually gets kicked out. The male lead is in theater tech production who focus on ancient day shows. He seeks out a character for his show and thinks the female lead is the perfect fit. She initially rejects but because her mom needs the money she accepts the role. The leads end up losing contact because the female lead's mom past away. The female lead is trying to make a career for herself, trying to get more on screen time! They eventually become a couple. The male lead has a troubled past which always bothers him. His mom committed suicide at a young age and that haunt him. Ever since he couldnt stand closets or look at blood or else he will faint and go to the hospital. The female lead has dreams, and the lion represents the male lead. The Lions seems strong and scary but the female lead is not scary. Initially it was the lion protecting the girl but becomes the girl protecting the lion.

They have a cute and sweet relationship together! Very believable romance! and some cute scenes together!
