[Dual Male Leads: A Career in Ruins, a Broken Man + The Career That Saves Him, the Healing That Mends Him = Risking Everything for Love, a Decade of Secret Love Come True] A little angsty, but also so sweet!
Lin Nan: A washed-up actor. He signed with Star Film and Television at eighteen and was once an overnight sensation, only to be blacklisted for five years. When his ten-year contract ended, he signed with a third-rate agency and returned to show business. He was once sunny and passionate, but after five years in the cold, he became depressed and anxious, broken, aloof, and reserved.
Chu Jian: A newly signed and heavily promoted Star Film and Television artist. Cheerful and perceptive, he has loved Lin Nan for ten years. Unwilling to watch Lin Nan's career fade, he risks everything to help Lin Nan make his comeback and rise to fame again. His decade-long crush finally becomes real.
Leaving the garden, they saw a clear lake in the distance. The air was cool and crisp, and the clean sky was a deep blue. They strolled to the water's edge. The lake was so clear they could see the bottom, and a fish or two occasionally glided past, sending faint ripples across the surface.
They walked along the shore until Lin Nan slowed to a stop and gazed toward the far end of the lake. The evening sky was filled with rosy clouds, their brilliance almost heartbreaking.
Chu Jian walked behind Lin Nan, watching his back and remembering the first time they met. Back then, Lin Nan had been bold and spirited, charging ahead with starlight in his eyes. Now, he seemed lonely, broken and aloof, restrained and distant.
Chu Jian stepped forward and gently took Lin Nan's hand from behind. Lin Nan paused, looked up at the brilliant sunset, then softly clasped Chu Jian's hand in his own. Neither of them spoke. They watched the sun sink from sight until large, bright stars emerged in the clear sky.
This is the author's first book, and he often writes late into the night. Sometimes he loses control and bursts into tears. Sometimes he blames himself for not having the talent to put the turbulent stories in his heart on paper and share them with everyone and get resonance. Sometimes he feels sad for the emotions of the characters in the story. I didn't make a cover before 80,000 words, and I stopped updating it for a long time. After 80,000 words, I updated it for more than ten days in a row. After 100,000 words, the data was not good, and I was very frustrated. Even if I had everything in my heart, I was discouraged. I didn't know if I could finish "him", but I also hope that I can finish "him", give myself an explanation, and give the characters in the book a perfect ending. Thank you very much to everyone who has read the book.
