Seven years ago, Lin Qi, a junior in the musical theater department, was dumped by Gu Yunsheng, a senior in the acting department, with one blunt remark: "You're not worthy."
Seven years later, at Weibo Night, top-tier star Lin Qi wraps an arm around the waist of award-winning actress Gu Yunsheng in front of everyone and laughs softly in her ear:
"Do you think I'm worthy now?"
From then on, the whole internet knew: these two were sworn rivals.
Until they were forced to co-star in the girls' love film The Embroiderer.
On camera, one is a cold, restrained fallen heiress, while the other is a wild, untamable impostor maid.
After the director calls cut, Gu Yunsheng says expressionlessly, "Please behave yourself."
Lin Qi crushes her script. "What gave you the right to reject me back then?"
They fall in love on screen and fight tooth and nail off it.
Until Lin Qi discovers that Gu Yunsheng still has her number saved from seven years ago.
Until Gu Yunsheng sees that Lin Qi's name for every love song she has ever written is her own.
As the pressure from powerful interests bears down and family opposition follows one after another,
Lin Qi slaps a PR document onto the table. "Let's go public. I'll face it with you."
But Gu Yunsheng pins her against the makeup mirror and kisses her, laughing softly:
"What's the hurry... My Qi Qi, I want to take my time with this performance."
It turns out the most painful kind of rekindled romance is when neither of them is willing to let the other go.
[Reader's Guide]
1. Showbiz + rekindled romance + a battle of equals, as two top-tier stars love and fight each other.
2. Cool, restrained award-winning actress × wild, striking top-tier star, with mutual devotion and salvation.
3. The film within the story, The Embroiderer, is adapted from Fingersmith, and the film's plot intertwines with real life.
4. Happy ending, but after they reunite, every chapter has them testing how close they can get to breaking up.
It's good to watch and makes me cry, and the emotions are very delicate. I'm looking forward to the sequel.
