Seven years ago, Lin Zhixia took a 200,000-yuan hush payment from her gravely ill father's talent agency, then heartlessly disappeared.
Seven years later, Lu Sichen is a top-tier star caught in a contract-termination scandal, with all his endorsements gone. The new agent who suddenly appears is the very ex-girlfriend he has hated for seven years.
“Mr. Lu, your career is under my management now.” She hands him a contract, calm as if she had never loved him.
Their reunion begins in coldness: he agrees to work with her for the sake of revenge, while she uses her professionalism to get him through one crisis after another, from the cancellation of a multimillion-yuan endorsement deal to rumors about depression, from an attack by a sasaeng fan to a rival's sabotage.
But during an all-night negotiation, her weary silhouette reminds him of the vow he made at twenty. After he gets drunk at a celebration banquet, he sees the marriage promise she has kept for seven years.
Beneath the cracks, the truth emerges like a blade: all 200,000 yuan went into a cancer hospital account. Her departure was never a betrayal.
When Xingyao Entertainment reveals its final trump card, he takes her hand in front of the cameras. “This time, let me protect you.”
The price of rekindling their love is giving up a Hollywood offer, founding an independent studio, and taking on the entire industry.
At the International Film Festival award ceremony, he lifts his trophy. “Lin Zhixia, you taught me not to fear breaking myself apart. So is breaking my pride to love you the best performance of all?”
From top-tier star to award-winning actor, from agent to partner, from hatred to deep love. This is no simple tale of rekindled romance. Two people shattered by reality spend seven years growing into mighty trees on their own, only for their roots to meet and entwine underground once more.
“Reunion isn’t about returning to the past. It’s about drawing a better version of ourselves, with the cracks as our boundary.”
