The Best Actress Cried, “Sister, Don’t Leave Me”

“She was willing to be a silent shadow, and she was her only light.”

Gentle, restrained coffee shop owner × straightforward, devoted younger top-tier star

“Yan An, when you pushed me away, did you ever ask what I wanted?”

“Liu Mian, I can’t let your future be ruined because of me.”

Yan An was used to giving in. She lost her parents at fifteen and had to depend on others while raising her younger brother. She was like a latte that was always warm, comforting everyone but herself.

That was until Liu Mian appeared. The twenty-year-old leaned against her coffee counter, her eyes shining bright. “Big sister, you have beautiful eyes.”

They had the sweetest days together: Liu Mian secretly practiced latte art just to earn a word of praise from her; when Yan An had a stomachache, Liu Mian rushed across the city in the middle of the night to buy medicine, her eyes red as she threatened, “If you don’t start eating properly, I’ll bite you.”

But when Liu Mian was selected by a top talent agency, Yan An was the one who cut their relationship short. “You belong in a bigger world.”

“What you call setting me free feels like torture to me.”

Three years later, newly crowned Best Actress Liu Mian broke down at an awards ceremony. The media was in an uproar: a top-tier star had severe depression, and the cause was a mystery.

On a stormy night, Yan An rushed into the hospital and saw Liu Mian curled up in her bed, her wrist wrapped in gauze. The only photo they had together sat on the bedside table.

“An...” Liu Mian laughed hoarsely. “You taught me to look ahead... but I can’t keep walking when you’re not there.”

This time, I’ll be the one to come to you.

“Love is Liu Mian risking her career to take Yan An’s hand in public, and Yan An turning back in a reckless rush, shattering every restraint.”

“Love is the art of favoritism, and Liu Mian is Yan An’s one and only exception.”
