Features: Others' daytime is my night; I am a creature of the night. Every day, I don’t know which family’s courtyard will host delightful evening entertainment, but I can ensure that the necessary vibrant colors will bloom at the right time. Glass Lips, the chief female author of new romantic novels, is more enchanting than Zhang Xiaoxian and more captivating than Li Bihua. The famous courtesan Liu Shishi from Qinhuai fell in love with the scholar Chen Zilong, but her courtesan status was rejected by the Chen family. Later, the fifty-eight-year-old scholar Qian Qianyi, despite the scorn of the world, married Liu Shishi in grand style. However, the good times didn’t last. Amidst the chaos of war, Qian Qianyi’s betrayal and Chen Zilong’s death unfolded a tragic tale around Liu Shishi.
After rebirth, Liu Shishi is Yang Ai, a university student from a remote rural area. After her heartbreak with the playboy professor Chen Zhilong, she becomes despondent and ends up in the Red House bar, becoming its top star. Later, she is forced to leave the Red House after refusing to entertain Japanese guests on the National Humiliation Day. Chen Zhilong’s return, the mysterious gift from a nobleman, the appearance of the Japanese writer Yamaguchi, and the raid on the Red House—these events gradually pull her back into her past life’s memories. When all these characters appear, she feels bewildered. Familiar faces, similar events—could this be another repetition of Liu Shishi’s fate three hundred years ago?
