All hope was gone; Xue’er was about to commit suicide when Bai Lang saved her and introduced her to the entertainment world. Qiao Xiannong, a Shanghai magnate, was determined to win the heart of the beautiful and famous Xue’er; while Xue’er wanted to take back her son by taking advantage of Qiao’s power.
