[A fake idealized first love] [A taciturn, secretly affectionate CEO who can’t handle romance and occasionally gets prickly × a levelheaded, sensible, slightly absent-minded actress with ambition]
Ye Sheng had spent three years in show business. Thanks to her wealthy patron, she had all the roles and resources she could want, as well as stunning looks. Her acting wasn’t quite award-winning caliber yet, but she already had memorable roles and awards to her name.
And yet she was always one step away from becoming a huge star.
Ye Sheng and her manager were baffled.
Was becoming a huge star really just a matter of luck?
Was Ye Sheng simply not destined for it?
Then, out of nowhere, her patron’s idealized first love returned from abroad.
Ye Sheng was cast aside, so she willingly stepped down.
And then, somehow, a few secretly taken photos landed her on the trending list?
She gained more than a hundred thousand followers overnight.
Huh???
Forget men. She was going to focus on her career!
Ye Sheng threw herself into work, and from then on, everything seemed to go her way.
She won awards for her acting and proved her talent once again;
She was inundated with endorsement offers, and her commercial value soared;
Acting offers kept pouring in, and top directors in the industry came knocking;
Step by step, she steadily rose to become a top-tier star.
Ye Sheng finally understood.
So her wealthy patron had been the stumbling block on her road to success?
The patron, now branded a stumbling block, panicked and rushed to prove his worth.
