Three-time Best Actress Niu Xianhua fought her way to success in the entertainment industry on talent alone, but she was hiding a huge secret: she was the secret wife of Zhang He, son of Jiangcheng’s richest man.
To prove she hadn’t climbed to success by relying on a man, she refused to acknowledge her wealthy background. To protect her rising career, she stood firm against her in-laws’ pressure to have a child and forced herself to sign divorce papers with Zhang He.
But as soon as the divorce was finalized, news of their secret marriage exploded across the internet like a time bomb! The leading role in a major drama she had landed was snatched away, her archrival rode her scandal to fame, and even a little-known actor turned on her, accusing her of trading sexual favors for roles... Overnight, the top-tier star was reduced to the target of a nationwide hate campaign.
Just when she thought she had hit rock bottom, the crew of The Tale of Consort Ru suddenly offered her a lifeline: a supporting role as the villain. On her first day on set, she saw the name “Zhang He” listed as producer and froze.
Her ex-husband looked every bit the gentleman in public, but behind the scenes he made things difficult at every turn. “Ms. Niu’s acting isn’t good enough. Reshoot!” “The costumes are too ugly. Change them!” “Do that rain scene again, ten more takes!”
Niu Xianhua exploded. “Zhang He, you’re doing this on purpose!”
Zhang He gave a cold smirk. “What? Now that we’re divorced, I can’t give my ex-wife acting advice?”
The internet was in an uproar. Weren’t these exes supposed to be tearing each other apart? How had this turned into a powerful CEO chasing his ex-wife after pushing her away?
