Where Silence Returns

As a top-tier star, Ming Shuang drew every eye whenever she appeared. But an accident dragged her into a scandal where she was accused of knowingly becoming the other woman. Her devoted boyfriend had been seeing two women at once, yet somehow she, the real girlfriend, became the one everyone despised as a homewrecker. Without any tears or drama, Ming Shuang sent her boyfriend one message: “Cousin and cousin, a match made in heaven. Hope you two stay together forever.” Then she broke up with him without hesitation. Faced with a torrent of abuse and pressure from her agency's PR team, she canceled all her engagements and retreated to a secluded mountain inn to escape the exhaustion. There, she met Tan Sili. He never asked about the outside world and didn't even recognize her as a top-tier star. He simply brewed hot tea in the mornings and kept her company as they watched the clouds and mist on rainy nights, gradually helping Ming Shuang let down her guard. Ming Shuang always thought he was just a reclusive tea merchant. But when she faced astronomical breach-of-contract penalties and found herself in dire straits, Tan Sili suddenly appeared, his entire bearing transformed. “Miss Ming, it's been a while.” It turned out the man she'd met was never a down-and-out tea merchant, but a mysterious mogul with deep pockets and a carefully hidden identity.
