Love in the Backlight: The Actress’s Redemption and Reunion

Six years ago, she was her light, yet she personally pushed her into the abyss.

Six years later, she returns as an actress seeking revenge, while the other has become an ant for anyone to trample.

“Lin Wanxing, a worthless thing like you doesn’t deserve to stand beside me.”

Backstage at the awards ceremony, Su Qingyuan smashes the token of their love that Lin Wanxing gave her, and personally buries both her career and their love.

For six years, Lin Wanxing has struggled through the mire, bearing a false reputation and tasting every turn of fortune. Then her mother falls critically ill, and the astronomical medical bills drive her to the brink of despair.

“Sign this, and I’ll save your mother.”

Inside a luxurious car, Su Qingyuan tosses the contract at her feet like she’s tossing a bone to a dog.

To save her mother, Lin Wanxing bows her head in humiliation and returns to the side of the woman who hurt her most, becoming the much-maligned “partner” on her variety show.

Everyone thinks this is a public humiliation, with the actress taking revenge on her former assistant.

But no one knows how, night after night, Su Qingyuan watches her sleeping face and repents again and again:

“Wanxing, pushing you away back then was the only way I could protect you.”

When the flirtatious tests on the variety show turn into risking their lives to protect each other;

when buried truths are unearthed alongside a shocking conspiracy threatening a business empire;

when they discover that an unseen hand has been manipulating everything from the shadows...

“Su Qingyuan, this time, I’ll protect you.”

Lin Wanxing wipes away her tears and transforms from a fragile flower in need of protection into a blade capable of fighting by her side.

Two powerful heroines seeking revenge, lovers reunited after a breakup, the one who did the chasing finally pays the price, feel-good entertainment-industry story.

Heartbreak in the early chapters, a long road to redemption later, a mix of sweetness and angst, and a happy ending.
