Old Dreams in the Golden Years

Plot Synopsis

Bai Susu was sold to an opera troupe since she was a child. In order to earn money to redeem herself, she went to Huibin Tower to sing every day. However, the troupe master, in order to pay off his gambling debts, actually wanted to sell her to the wealthy Zhang, who was addicted to abusing his concubines. Bai Susu, unwilling to accept her fate, wanted to argue with the troupe master so that she could redeem herself. But the troupe master not only raised the price on the spot but even wanted to beat Bai Susu. At this critical moment, Fu Jinnian, the famous and decisive commander in the Beijing circle, appeared and rescued Bai Susu from the dire situation. He also specially requested this young opera singer to sing a particularly meaningful "The Peony Pavilion" for him alone.
