Xu An, a sculpting prodigy, is framed for plagiarism by her adoptive sister Xu Wei and driven to her death—then reborn back to the days before the graduation design competition. Under the theme "Breaking the Cocoon," she carves "Rebirth" with the rare stone-wrapped-jade technique, stunning the audience; she deciphers the hidden theme, winning Master Zhang as her mentor and a position offered by President Huang. Facing her adoptive sister's plagiarism traps—spotted through an unnerving "penetrating eye"—and the favoritism and cruelty of her parents, Xu An fights back with art as her weapon, transforming from a caged bird into one that soars free. In the end, she founds the "Breaking the Cocoon" fund to help others find rebirth, completing her life's journey from vengeance to reconciliation.
