A gorgeous actress who thinks only of retiring VS a loyal, beautiful but miserable man who secretly loves her
Zhong Yili grew up in the spotlight as a child star. At a movie premiere when she was seventeen, she received an envelope. Inside were a card and a bracelet. The card read: “I hope you’ll know me, but I’m afraid you will.”
Zhong Yili: ?
What kind of contradictory statement was that?
When Yan Tinglan was seventeen, an accident sent him plummeting from the top of the world into an abyss.
With nowhere else to turn, he went to the rooftop of the company his parents had once owned, intending to jump and end a fate he could no longer bear.
Just then, he saw a girl on the giant screen across the street, in a shopping mall. She looked about his age, but her eyes were brimming with tears.
One glance was all it took for Yan Tinglan to be captivated by those amber eyes. So sorrowful, yet so beautiful.
Yan Tinglan stood on the railing of the thirty-third-floor rooftop, the cold wind howling in his ears as if it might sweep him off at any moment. Yet he couldn’t take his eyes off the screen.
It was a movie trailer, a minute and a half long, and Yan Tinglan watched it to the end.
Looking at the half-eaten bun in his hand, he thought: How could anyone have it worse than him? On a whim, he wanted to share half of it with that pitiful girl.
In that moment, Yan Tinglan suddenly wanted to live. He wanted to meet that girl.
Yan Tinglan sold the only thing of value he owned, a watch, and bought a ticket to the movie premiere. Then he spent every last penny on a diamond bracelet, hid it in an envelope, and secretly slipped it to the girl.
