In 1980, the night breeze over Victoria Harbour was hot and restless.
Jiang Yuehua, a top dancer, is accidentally reborn as the abandoned wife of the wealthy Lu family. From the start, a divorce agreement and a city full of ridicule await her.
Lu Chengjun thinks she won't survive without the Lu family, not knowing she holds memories of the next thirty years of the entertainment industry.
In this golden age of chaos and rampant capitalism, she sells her dowry and starts from scratch.

Facing her ex-husband's contempt, the suppression of socialites, a blacklist imposed by industry giants, and a siege by Hollywood capital, Jiang Yuehua rises from the ruins, one step at a time.
Dear author, the story is really good! I love reading stories about career advancement. There are some flaws, though. Some plot points are repeated. I understand that later parts supplement earlier parts, but some content changes. For example, the singer in one part is Jacky Cheung, but in another part it's Leslie Cheung. I hope you can be more careful with the repetition.
Is the female lead's ex-husband such a jerk the male lead? Please, don't let this become another brainless short drama; it's too bad for your breasts. The female lead deserves some good food! [Staring emoji]
The novel has a fresh theme and is a rare Hong Kong entertainment novel told from a female perspective. The content is rich and colorful, and the characters are well-developed. It is a very good novel. I hope the author will not stop updating and will continue to write. I will continue to support her!
With so many real celebrities' names listed, won't they sue you?
I've read too many stories about male protagonists who are reborn in Hong Kong, make movies, become actors, write songs, become overnight sensations, and find seven or eight confidantes. This book isn't just about a strong female lead; it also features a group of characters, and it's very well-written.
I'd give it five stars. Maybe it's because it's so good and flows so smoothly that there aren't many other reviews, but I quite like it. It's a decent story; maybe not very dramatic, but so far it's alright.
It looks really good, very nice, and great. Could it be made into a short drama?
It's definitely good-looking, and the writing style is clearly getting better with each installment.
It's so good! I have to give it a 5-star rating. How come the rating is so low? I love this kind of clear-headed and intelligent female protagonist theme. I hope the author won't be discouraged and will keep going!
I love stories about women building their own careers.
