Seven years ago, in order to save her seriously ill father, Lin Zhixia took 200,000 hush money from his agency and disappeared ruthlessly.
Seven years later, Lu Sichen was already at the top of his game, having been involved in a contract termination scandal and losing all his endorsements, and the new agent who landed in the air was the ex-girlfriend he had hated for seven years.
"Mr. Lu, your career is now under my control." She handed over the contract, as calmly as if she had never been in love before.
This is a reunion that started coldly: he accepted cooperation for revenge, and she used her expertise to resolve crises for him - from the termination of multi-million-dollar endorsement contracts to the scandal of depression, from the illegitimate rice attack to the assassination of competitors.
But during the all-night negotiations late at night, her tired back reminded him of the vow she made at the age of twenty; after getting drunk at the celebration party, he saw the engagement note she had treasured for seven years.
Under the rift, the truth emerged like a knife's edge: all the 200,000 yuan went into the cancer hospital's account, and her departure was never a betrayal.
When Xingyao Entertainment showed off its final move, he chose to hold her hand in front of the camera: "This time, it's me who will protect you."
The price for reuniting is to give up Hollywood invitations, establish an independent studio, and fight against the entire industry.
On the podium at the International Film Festival, he raised the trophy: "Lin Zhixia, you taught me not to be afraid of breaking myself - then breaking my pride to love you, is the best acting skill?"
From top star to movie star, from agent to partner, from hatred to deep love. This is not a simple reunion, but two people who were shattered by reality. It took seven years for each of them to grow into a big tree, and then let their roots reunite and entangle themselves underground.
"Reunion is not about going back to the past, but using the cracks as boundaries to draw a better version of us."
