Shen Xi had finally made a name for herself in the entertainment industry, only to run into her worst nightmare at the opening ceremony for her new drama: Zhou Xubai.
He was an acclaimed movie star, the man voted “most wanted to hug” by the entire internet, and the desk mate who had left without a word seven years ago after Shen Xi “betrayed” him.
In front of the cameras, he was a gentle, flawless senior, guiding her with care and attending to her every need.
Behind the cameras, he was a controlling man who pressed her step by step, gripping her chin as he threatened in a low voice, “If you can’t act, I’ll teach you myself.”
The CP fans across the internet were swooning over the “sweetness” of the star doting exclusively on a newcomer. Only Shen Xi knew it was a carefully planned revenge.
Until that night, when a drunk Zhou Xubai pinned her against the wall. His burning breath brushed her ear as he whispered, his voice hoarse and fragile:
“Why did you leave me back then... Shen Xi, is your heart made of stone?”
Only then did she understand that his so-called threats were nothing more than an inability to let go.
