Lin Xiaohao, a supporting actor in stage plays for many years, finally had his first leading role in the play "Thunderstorm." However, during rehearsals, he accidentally kissed the female lead, causing her to be hospitalized. With the play set to premiere in just a few days, they couldn't find a suitable replacement for the female lead. At this critical moment, Che Che, a poorly dressed actress, came for an audition. Director Qi Dongqiang and the entire cast were ecstatic because "Thunderstorm" could finally proceed as planned. However, Lin Xiaohao suddenly announced to the whole team that he couldn't perform opposite Che Che, bringing rehearsals to a halt once again.

Rumors started circulating within the troupe, revealing that Lin Xiaohao and Che Che not only knew each other but were also in a romantic relationship years ago. They were even close to getting married, but suddenly Che Che disappeared without a trace and quietly went to the United States. This revelation deeply affected Lin Xiaohao, and he hasn't been in a relationship since.

The popularity of the play "Thunderstorm" finally gave these marginalized actors a chance to shine. Troupe leader He Danian assigned Lin Xiaohao and Che Che, a couple, to perform in a commercial play called "The Tomb Notes." However, Lin Xiaohao discovered that the play was heavily infused with advertisements, which severely affected the storyline. What made them even more apprehensive was the word from the older generation of the troupe that this script was cursed, and anyone who performed in it would be cursed as well. Despite their concerns, under the pressure from He Danian, Lin Xiaohao and Che Che had no choice but to rehearse with gritted teeth.

Meanwhile, Tian Zige, Lin Xiaohao's roommate and a theater enthusiast, recommended his girlfriend Ye Zi to cameo as a barista in the theater. The reason was that Ye Zi owned a coffee shop in real life, so she was expected to be more adept in playing the role. However, during rehearsals, Ye Zi made frequent mistakes, not only spilling coffee cups but also angering the director. Nevertheless, Ye Zi did not give up because she was determined to improve and prove herself.

Che Che accidentally started a fire while cooking at home. Lin Xiaohao rushed over to help but ended up making things worse, causing the entire kitchen to burn down. In the process of trying to extinguish the fire, Lin Xiaohao bravely injured himself and fractured his hand. Che Che took care of the injured Lin Xiaohao with great attentiveness. As Lin Xiaohao received her care, he secretly felt joy in his heart and gradually realized that he couldn't forget his past feelings for Che Che.

Che Che accompanied Lin Xiaohao to see an orthopedic doctor, who confirmed that his hand had already healed and the cast could be removed. However, Lin Xiaohao begged the doctor to conceal the truth and reapply the cast. He wanted to continue pretending to be sick to gain Che Che's sympathy and care. Eventually, Che Che discovered the truth and played a prank on him, leaving in anger.

Wang Mengwei, whose kitchen was burnt down in the fire, was furious. However, she found solace when she discovered that the inspector from the insurance company was a handsome college student. In an instant, her anger dissipated.

Wang Mengwei went on frequent dates with the handsome college student, deliberately trying to appear youthful and imitating the dressing style of girls born in the mid-1990s. However, she couldn't capture his heart.

The stage play "Du Lala" successfully went on a tour, and the cast celebrated with a victory banquet. The investors arrived with their mistresses, but Che Che, who lacked awareness of the situation, publicly exposed the mistress's fake academic credentials, leading the investors to retract their decision of additional investment. The next day, the cast members took a bus back to Shanghai but accidentally left Che Che behind.

After returning to the troupe, Che Che tried her best to please everyone but ended up making frequent mistakes. She locked Qi Dongqiang in the props room and strained Wang Mengwei's voice. The others expressed dissatisfaction with Che Che's lack of self-sufficiency, and Che Che felt in her heart that she couldn't fit into this small collective.

Wang Mengwei received a notification that the play "Mamma Mia" was selecting a female lead from the troupe. It was the role she had most wanted to play since entering the industry. She had missed several auditions, and the age limit for the female lead was set at 36 or below. This year was her last chance.

Lin Xiaohao went to participate in an advertising audition, thinking it was for real estate advertisements. He happily danced around but was kicked out of the studio by the director. It was only then that Lin Xiaohao realized he had missed a few words and the audition was actually for a cemetery advertisement.

Surprisingly, this misunderstanding made Lin Xiaohao instantly popular overnight and became the "MC Graveyard Brother" who went viral online. Major advertisers came knocking on his door, hoping that Lin Xiaohao would dance with their company's products. Lin Xiaohao became arrogant and overwhelmed with numerous endorsement offers, gradually neglecting his rehearsals for the stage play.

Ye Zi's coffee shop had a grand promotion with a buy one, get one free offer on coffee. Qi Dongqiang, wanting to take advantage of the deal, brought along an incredibly huge coffee cup. However, he didn't realize that the complimentary coffee couldn't be taken away. Qi Dongqiang had no choice but to reluctantly finish it on the spot, which led to inflamed and painful gums due to excessive heat.

Miss Dong, an investor, funded a stage play with a theme about first love, and Lin Xiaohao had the privilege of being the male lead. During the process, Miss Dong, who had no understanding of theater, forcibly projected her own memories of first love onto Lin Xiaohao. As a result, Lin Xiaohao became known as the "meal ticket man" in the eyes of others. Initially, Lin Xiaohao didn't pay much attention to the gossip behind his back, but gradually he realized that Miss Dong seemed to have some undisclosed intentions towards him.

Wang Mengwei and Che Che accompanied Qi Dongqiang on the touring performance of the stage play "Missing You in the Next Life," which led them to meet the investor, Mr. Zhao. Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhao showed excessive enthusiasm towards Che Che, not only showing great concern for her but also disregarding Wang Mengwei, who was also an actress. What's even more frightening is that during a quick change on stage, Che Che noticed a pair of eyes staring intensely at her. Che Che tried to reassure herself that there are still good people in the world, but to her surprise, Mr. Zhao relentlessly pursued her and soon pushed her to the edge of a cliff.
