Amid the deafening crash of a car accident at an awards ceremony, Bai Yazhen closed her eyes, filled with a lifetime of regret over Xu Renjiang. In her previous life, she was a villain forged by her birth family. She climbed to the top by stepping on others, but indirectly caused the death of Xu Renjiang, the only person who had truly cared for her. She could only watch as he clutched the engagement ring he had never given her and ended his life in despair.
Reborn at nineteen, she returns to a pivotal turning point in her fate. Her father’s domestic abuse and extortion, her agency’s coercion to sign a contract, and Yin Junshu’s obsessive need for control are all still there. But this time, Bai Yazhen only wants to break free of the darkness and protect Xu Renjiang, the top-tier star weighed down by guilt and depression.
She deliberately avoids the schemes she used in her previous life and approaches him despite accusations that she is chasing clout. She prevents paparazzi from disturbing his grandmother, anonymously provides evidence that his bandmate staged a “nut allergy” incident, and helps him let go of the burden he has carried for years. And when this gentle, restrained man sees her vulnerability, he steps forward to support her. His awkward companionship helps heal her childhood wounds and makes her believe that even a “villainess” deserves redemption.
The fame and fortune games of the entertainment industry, the relentless entanglements of her birth family, and Yin Junshu’s frenzied interference cannot separate the two people who find warmth in each other amid the darkness. She portrays trauma and growth through her acting, while he conveys healing and perseverance through his songs. From secret protection to standing side by side in public, they not only rewrite their tragic fate, but also find lasting warmth in each other’s glimmer of light.
This is a redemption that goes both ways, and a love that endures between two top stars. The affection they missed in their past life will be repaid over the rest of this one. No matter how many storms they face, they will walk together toward the sunshine.
Very nice, makes up for the regret
