Zhao Yueqing transmigrated into a book and became an obscure, washed-up actress in the entertainment industry, assigned as a “pawn” to her rival’s agent, Huo Yixuan. The original character had poor acting skills and was in a difficult position. Zhao Yueqing had planned to coast along, but unexpectedly landed a role at an audition, and was forced to embark on an acting career.
Huo Yixuan, a top agent known throughout the industry for his strictness, initially saw Zhao Yueqing only as a tool to use against his archrival, Shen Jiayan, and treated her with cutting remarks and cool indifference. But as they spent time together, he gradually realized this “washed-up actress” was nothing like the rumors. She was lively and spirited, seemingly unreliable yet remarkably resilient. She could always find an unconventional way to deal with trouble, and even her acting slowly improved through clumsy but earnest effort.
From stumbling through scenes on set to diligently attending acting classes, from handling tricky interviews to stubbornly striking back after Shen Jiayan stole her opportunities, Zhao Yueqing gradually shook off her expendable-label status. Huo Yixuan, too, began to change his mind about this “surprisingly useful” pawn, quietly looking out for her and showing the occasional awkward concern.
Her parents’ visit, the companionship of her best friend, and the arrival of Huo Yixuan’s well-connected friends gradually brought the two closer as they tested and tugged at each other’s feelings. Shen Jiayan never stopped targeting Zhao Yueqing, and the industry’s storms kept raging. This unlikely pair stumbled along, facing the overt and covert attacks from the outside world while leaving ever deeper impressions on each other’s hearts...
