[Radiant, Beautiful Washed-Up Actress X Mysterious, Refined, Gentle Young Gentleman]
The first leading role Shu Zi landed after her debut became a smash hit. She fell in love with Si Yu while filming, but when forced to choose between love and her career, she chose her career and kept her feelings to herself. Si Yu vanished without a trace after the show finished airing. Shu Zi then became the target of trending blacklists and online abuse, and was banned and sidelined.
Two years later, a coincidence brings Shu Zi face-to-face with Si Yu again. He becomes her leading man for a second time, and her long-dormant heart starts beating again at his return.
Shu Zi eventually falls for him and confesses, only to discover that Si Yu has been planning this for a long time. He is the heir to a powerful family, yet willingly places himself at her feet. He has been quietly supporting her all along, becoming an actor for her, pouring money, resources, and connections into her, and helping make her dream come true.
She asks him, “When did you first fall for me?”
“The first time we met.”
“During the script read-through?”
“No, when I was eighteen.”
Only then does Shu Zi realize that his love had taken root and blossomed when they were young. She regrets not noticing sooner.
