Once upon a time, the country was thriving. The people living in peace and affluence hailed their wise young Emperor. However, the fact was that the Empress Dowager and the Premier were taking the wheel and the young Emperor, too young to take over the rule - in fact he was not interested in it at all - longed for nothing but the world on the other side of the palace walls. He dreamed he could run a theater of folk arts, acrobatics and dramas. One day, the young Emperor discovered a secret path leading out of the imperial cage. He sneaked into it and found he arrived at a long-closed theater where he met Bai Xiaoqing, a lady performer who had bought the property.

It mainly revolved around a little-known crosstalk troupe on Beiwei Road - Wanchun Association. Aimed at reflecting all beings through the little people in the small place, the "actors" in the process of honing their skills constantly changed the understanding of crosstalk, the mentality of fame and fortune, and the understanding of the relationship between actors and audiences. The show also hoped to show the audience the story of the crosstalk performers on stage and behind the scenes. On the stage, the performers laughed and cursed each other to achieve success. Off the stage, they were humble, friendly and tolerant of each other. "There is no honor on the stage, but there are rules under the stage", which displayed the unique reversal charm of crosstalk with a panoramic mode in three-dimensional way.
