Before the death of the famous drama actor Yuen Touyo (played by Dan Li), he handed a lipstick to his daughter Xiao Lei. This lipstick is the source of happiness and pain for her and her daughter throughout their lives. When she grew up, Yuen Lei (played by Kyoko Yoshine), who had a horrible scar on her face, met Hanyuda (played by Tadanobu Asano), who had been her mother's agent. Hanyuda brought the timid girl to the theater and watched the performance of the beautiful girl Nina Tanze (played by Tao Tsuchiya). The arrogant Nina could never have imagined that the ugly Lei could exchange her face with that lipstick. It turned out that Nina was in poor health and her acting skills had reached a bottleneck, so Hanyuda proposed that Xiao Lei, who had a strong desire to perform, serve as Nina's substitute. After that, Xiao Lei, with a beautiful face, grew rapidly on the stage, and Nina felt faintly that she was in danger of being replaced... This film is adapted from the manga "Lei".
