Qu Rao was beautiful, with an outstanding presence. She was the industry's gold standard for looks and a hugely popular actress. Her acting was every bit as impressive as her looks, and she had always been dedicated to her work, though she was a little aloof.
Wen Zheng, head of Zhongxing Entertainment, entered the industry years ago before stepping behind the scenes. His outstanding acting and handsome looks won him a host of fans, and he'd been linked to rumored romances ever since his debut. The two of them each dominated half the fashion world, but whether at award ceremonies or other events, they never crossed paths.
Some people once shipped them as a couple, keeping their enthusiasm to themselves. But before it could catch on, they dismissed the idea themselves, because both of them were too aloof to imagine how they could ever date. Then a photo surfaced: “A Kiss on a Snowy Night” from seven years ago. The cool, handsome star was carefully holding a girl by the waist, and their relationship was exposed. Someone claiming to know the truth also came forward, saying Qu Rao had wronged Wen Zheng back then. Rumors flew everywhere, until the man was asked about it by reporters. He replied with only eight words: “We were young and reckless. I let her down.”
