The Lin and Shen families had been close for generations, and from the moment they were born, the elders laughed that Lin Shuyue and Shen Xian’an were meant to be together.
They fought over building blocks at the same elite kindergarten, shared secrets beneath the banyan trees at their private middle school, and pretended not to know each other at family banquets while secretly passing notes. In everyone’s eyes, she was a gifted young lady from a family of scholars, whose stories already flowed from her pen with delicate grace. He was the pampered young master of the Shen family, yet he was obsessed with the camera and had been certain since boyhood that he would stand in the spotlight.
Everyone thought they would naturally end up together, until a misunderstanding over “betrayal” tore their bond apart when they were eighteen. She went abroad and buried herself in her writing, while he stayed in China to fight his way through the entertainment industry. From then on, they each flourished on parallel paths.
Years later, Lin Shuyue returned with a bestselling novel that took the world by storm, while Shen Xian’an had become a three-time Golden Rooster Award-winning actor, dazzling under the spotlight. At a charity gala packed with celebrities, he stopped her with a glass of champagne, his eyes brimming with barely contained emotion. “Shuyue, shouldn’t we give our story a different ending?”
The familiarity and understanding etched into their very bones had never faded with time. This time, they would rewrite with their own hands the childhood-sweethearts story that regret had cut short.
