May I Shine: Shattered Glass, Kindled Stars
An elaborately staged masked gala brings Xu Yan, a local TV legal affairs host, together with Shen Haoming, heir to the Shen family. Each has something to gain: she needs the Shen family's resources to secure her career, while he needs her spotless public image to quell a crisis engulfing his conglomerate. But when Xu Yan discovers that the Shen family was behind her grandfather's death and the arson that destroyed the Qiao family's hardware factory twenty years ago, their deal becomes a battle for revenge and the truth.
Her parents are kidnapped and threatened, a witness's testimony has been buried, and Shen Haoming's father is quietly working behind the scenes. As Xu Yan struggles in the dark, Shen Haoming repeatedly defies his family for her. He shields her from a metal pipe, investigates the evidence, and even breaks with his father. To her surprise, Yu Lan, the Shen family's head, also provides a crucial lead, bringing the path to justice into clearer view.
From a life-or-death rescue in an abandoned warehouse to the public outcry sparked by an in-depth report, Xu Yan ultimately exposes the evil behind it all, and Shen Haoming's father is sent to prison. To atone, Shen Haoming reforms the Shen family and establishes the Qiao Zhenshan Charity Fund. As she follows the light, Xu Yan discovers the true meaning of shining: it isn't the prestige of a wealthy family, but the courage to embrace justice and love even after being broken.
When the former Qiao family site becomes a creative arts district and their names are engraved inside simple wedding bands, their love, which has overcome hatred on every side, shines like glass, casting the warmest sparks from its cracks.
