Episode 1

In the Shanghai Concession at the end of the 20th century, burning flames of war intertwined with singing and dancing, and tabloid reporters recorded the intricate love and hatred between ten stars.Twenty years ago, a man was chased by a group of people. At the same time, a dancing girl was also in danger, and the entire Shanghai Concession was full of danger.

But twenty years later, the Shanghai area was peaceful, and Feng Yilun was chased and beaten by his third sister because he couldn't find anything to do.At this time, Geely took advantage of the third sister not paying attention and hurriedly fled the scene with Feng Yilun.Ji Li then followed Feng Yilun to a theater group as an extra. She was very excited about the actor's performance and the scene, while Feng Yilun behaved very coldly.

After Ruan Yu finished the drama performance, he hurriedly handed the money to Zhang Damin, hoping to sever all relations with Zhang Damin.However, Zhang Damin felt that Ruan Yu wanted him to leave after only giving him so little money, which made him feel slighted.Ruan Yu was very angry after hearing the news that Zhang Damin wanted to go back on her word and threatened to reveal her nanny's identity.Zhang Damin believes that Ruan Yu wants to save face and cannot bear the audience's comments about her identity, because she has always shown herself to be pure from acting to now.

Ruan Yu has been worried about the consequences of this matter.Ji Shan learned about this incident and realized that if it was made public, it would have a great impact on Ruan Yu's reputation.Tang Jishan believed that this incident had seriously damaged his face in Shanghai. He believed that Ruan Yu's ignorance led to the current situation.In order to save some face, he decided to let Ruan Yu sue Zhang Damin and hoped that she would issue a statement stating that the two were financially independent when they got married.

In fact, Ruan Yu didn't owe Zhang Damin anything, but he just didn't want to cause an uproar in public opinion.Ji Li and Feng Yilun encountered the murder of actor Chu Yuhong on their way home, but the detective did not take the murder seriously.Later, when Ruan Yu met Boss Jia, Boss Jia tried to sexually harass her.Feng Yilun, who happened to be passing by, saw it and stepped forward to beat Boss Jia.Boss Jia was afraid of his wife, so when he left in a hurry, he warned Feng Yilun not to let him see him again, otherwise he would be in trouble.

Soon after Feng Yilun returned home, Boss Jia was murdered and died, and the police suspected that he was a suspect.When the police searched his body, they found a jadeite belonging to Boss Jia. Feng Yilun firmly denied the accusation.The detective was very surprised that a habitual criminal and a female star were involved in this murder case.Ruan Yu was questioned by the police. She described the incident in detail to the detective. People around her also said that Feng Yilun had a quarrel with Boss Jia.

At this time, the third sister also wanted the big star Ruan Yu to prove Feng Yilun's innocence, but Feng Yilun was hesitant.Finally, Li Ruoyi called reporters to force the detective to release Feng Yilun and promised to catch the real murderer within three days.After Feng Yilun was released, he realized that he had to find a suitable way to prove his innocence.When the third sister saw Feng Yilun's sudden appearance, she was a little shocked and incredulous.She couldn't figure out why Feng Yilun came back suddenly, and in such a hasty manner.When Feng Yilun found the camera he had snatched earlier, the third sister was even more shocked by his behavior.

Feng Yilun tried to develop the photos in the camera to prove his innocence.When Tang Jishan came back, she picked up the whip angrily and wanted to hit Ruan Yu.Ruan Yu knew that Tang Jishan had done some excessive things outside, and Tang Jishan also realized his mistake and quickly expressed his love for Ruan Yu, hoping to live a good life together.Ruan Yu was very confused about all this and didn't know how to face it.

In the end, Feng Yilun developed the photos, but found no clues to prove his innocence.This series of events made everyone's mood complicated.

Episode 2

Feng Yilun stood in front of the developed photos. The photos were all of men, which made him feel a little puzzled.He felt that as a movie fan, he should shoot scenes of lovers instead of men, so that it would be easier to attract attention and discussion from the media and the public.He began to wonder: Why did this fan only photograph men?

As he thought, Feng Yilun felt that something was wrong.He suspected that this so-called movie fan was not really motivated by his love for movies, but had other motives.He began to suspect that this man was not just a movie fan, but more wanted to harm Ruan Yu.

With such doubts, Feng Yilun hurriedly went to Ruan Yu with a few photos.He wanted to confirm something and find out the true intentions of this movie fan.However, he was blocked, and he also learned that Ruan Yu was on strike because of some recent events, and the director was angry with her, making Feng Yilun anxious.

As soon as Ruan Yu was about to get out of the car, he saw a group of reporters gathering outside the car.At this time, Feng Yilun stopped by to persuade Ruan Yu to get in the car. In desperation, Ruan Yu could only listen to Feng Yilun.

Feng Yilun wanted to ask Ruan Yu about Boss Jia because he suspected that Boss Jia was murdered.He needs to look for relevant clues to find out the real culprit.However, Ruan Yu did not want to get involved in these complicated matters.

At the same time, after learning that Feng Yilun was the one who stole Boss Jia's necklace, Ruan Yu became even colder towards him.She felt that he was not a good person and did not want to help him anymore.

Feng Yilun heard that it was Ruan Yu who knew that he was the one who stole things and did not want to testify for him. He quickly denied that there was a misunderstanding here.However, Ruan Yu believed that too many coincidences happened to Feng Yilun, making her doubt his sincerity.

Feng Yilun explained that he only took the necklace on the set, and also saw Ruan Yu having a dispute with other people.He began to understand the dangers of being trapped in public opinion as a star, and he was not here to cause trouble for Ruan Yu.

Later, he handed the photos he took to Ruan Yu, and unexpectedly learned that it was Zhang Damin who wanted to seize her and threaten her.Ruan Yu didn't want to tell the truth, let alone let these public opinions hurt his daughter.She asked Feng Yilun not to expose these photos, otherwise it would hurt her daughter.Feng Yilun once again promised that he would not betray his conscience.

Ruan Yu went out alone to distract reporters and took his daughter back. He received a call from Lin Jida to help.At the same time, Feng Yilun had to face the third sister's worry and anger.

He and Ji Li went to meet Li Ruoyi to share the case together. They found that the murdered women were all wearing high heels, except Boss Jia.Feng Yilun was inspired by Geely's words and guessed that the murderer might be a rickshaw driver.

Later, Feng Yilun went to Ruan Yu and wanted her to help find the murderer.However, Ruan Yu told him that he would not attend the banquet, which made Feng Yilun anxious.Through the conversation with Ruan Yu, he learned about the conflicts between Ruan Yu and others, as well as the complicated relationships at the banquet.

In the end, Feng Yilun successfully persuaded Ruan Yu to attend the banquet, hoping to find some clues to uncover the real murderer.Ruan Yu's appearance attracted everyone's attention. Lin Jida wanted to dance with her, but Ruan Yu refused and said he would dance with Tang Jishan first.Liang Saizhen witnessed Tang Jishan and Ruan Yu together with jealousy.

Later, Ruan Yu was drunk and was touched when someone stopped him.The man then took a rickshaw to the mansion, but was eventually taken elsewhere by the rickshaw driver, and the murderer was finally caught.

Liang Saizhen tried to replace her out of jealousy, but was retaliated against.Subsequently, the murder was solved.

In the entertainment industry, Feng Yilun and Geely successfully became journalists.However, Cheng Yumei was accidentally injured during filming. Boss Han became interested in Liu Xiaonan, but then discovered that Liu Xiaonan was missing and was reported to the police.
