During the chaotic early Republican period, the country was unstable, and warlords ruled separately, causing the people to live in hardship. Cao Yun (played by Lin Qingxia) is the daughter of the warlord General Cao and a patriot. However, she is unwilling to see her father help Yuan Shikai by borrowing huge amounts of money from foreign banks in the name of the nation, worsening the country's finances. Thus, she secretly contacts revolutionaries. Caught between her country and her father, Cao Yun finds herself struggling internally. Bai Niu (played by Ye Qianwen) grew up in the Spring and Harmony opera troupe and was treated as a maid by the troupe master's father (played by Wu Ma). Obsessed with performing, she has always hoped to take the stage but has had no chance. Xiang Hong (played by Zhong Chuhong) is a money-hungry courtesan who, while running away from a warlord, accidentally steals a large box of jewelry from his home, which she unwittingly brings into the Spring and Harmony troupe. These three women meet by chance, and through the intertwining of their lives, they compose a patriotic legend together...
