Scarred Queen, Rise From the Dead

Synopsis

The Queen of Revenge Returned from Hell Zhou Xueyao was once a world-famous violin genius born into a century-old musical family, blessed with unparalleled talent and a bright future. She loved her husband Shen Zhou with all her heart and selflessly supported her junior sister Gao Jingyu. However, sincerity brought her devastating betrayal. Envious of her talent and lover, Gao Jingyu colluded with Shen Zhou to frame her for sabotaging musical instruments during a crucial competition. Blinded by profits, her father smashed her beloved violin on stage and cut ties with her publicly. Before she recovered from losing her unborn child, Shen Zhou forged a psychiatric certificate and locked her in a remote sanatorium, where she endured constant drug abuse and electric shock torture. A mudslide buried the sanatorium. She barely survived but was left with hideous scars across her face. Hiding her identity, she made a living as an online car-hailing driver, pretending to be a destitute nobody while gathering solid evidence of the conspiracy against her. In her darkest days, she met Lu Jingshen, the top authority of the classical music industry. They saved each other through life-or-death hardships and became husband and wife. Five years later, she returned to her hometown, only to witness Shen Zhou and Gao Jingyu living in luxury with the child named after her lost baby, while her own father looked at her scarred face with undisguised disgust. All the old wounds resurfaced, and she resolved to expose every lie of these hypocritical people with her own hands. As a masked mysterious violinist, she crashed the top violin competition and stunned the whole audience with peerless skills, completely overwhelming Gao Jingyu, who stole her original music to build her reputation. With financial records, witness statements and forged medical reports as ironclad proof, she and Lu Jingshen completely blocked Shen’s enterprise and exposed her father’s economic crimes. On the stage of a national live concert, she took off her mask in front of tens of thousands of audiences, revealing her survival and crushing Gao Jingyu’s talented persona forever. The truth came out one after another: Gao Jingyu bribed a nanny to poison Zhou Xueyao and kill her baby, with Shen Zhou fully aware of the plot. Cornered by bankruptcy and lawsuits, the two turned against each other. They fought over stolen money on a rainy highway and suffered a severe car crash. Gao Jingyu’s hands were permanently crippled, ending her violin career for good. Her father was arrested for financial crimes and paralyzed by a stroke; Shen Zhou and Gao Jingyu were convicted of multiple crimes and sentenced to long prison terms. In prison, Gao Jingyu was forced to listen to Zhou Xueyao’s world-famous performances every day, suffering endless mental torment. Shen Zhou was reduced to menial labor in jail, drowning in endless regret. One year later, Zhou Xueyao stood on the stage of Vienna’s Golden Hall, performing Rebirth, a composition written from her blood and tears, shocking the whole world. The scars on her face became a medal of rebirth. Lu Jingshen knelt down and presented her a diamond ring in front of global celebrities, making up for their five years of delayed marriage ceremony. All the sufferings and betrayals were left far behind. Freed from all chains, she embraced her beloved career and sincere love, shining brighter than ever.
