Cindy was very surprised by Wang Li's talent in dancing, so she decided to cultivate this plastic talent well. In order to help Wang Li to the top, Cindy gave Wang Li the position of the protagonist in the dance troupe at all costs. But what Cindy didn't know was that Wang Li was not as innocent as she appeared on the surface.
