Movie emperor Ye Xiao died after being crushed by a falling chandelier at an awards ceremony, waking up to find his soul transmigrated into the body of Xu Xiao, a minor screenwriter who had just divorced movie empress Su Qingmo and died of alcoholism. Determined to seek justice for the original owner, he broke into the entertainment industry using movie-emperor-level acting skills, unexpectedly achieving overnight stardom through the role of the murderer Zhou Yu in the low-budget suspense drama "Silent Witness". However, Xie Yuchuan, the movie emperor who stole Xu Xiao's "Long Night" script eight years ago and deceived Su Qingmo for years, closed in step by step, sparking a game of wits centered around copyright, truth, and love. After the divorce, Su Qingmo gradually discovered the truth and felt deep regret, while the cheerful companion Jiang Wannong left everything full of variables.
