A Confession Beyond the Camera

Lin Xi is a novice actress fresh out of film school, talented but without connections. At her first audition, she runs into the industry’s notorious “cold-faced King of Hell,” the three-time Golden Award winner Shen Tinglan. She’s so nervous during the audition that she can barely coordinate her limbs, yet by sheer coincidence Shen Tinglan picks her to star in his new drama. Overnight, she becomes the internet’s much-mocked “well-connected star.”

After joining the cast, Lin Xi discovers that Shen Tinglan is not only exacting to the point of harshness about acting, but also taciturn in private. Yet he pays special “attention” to her scenes, often pointing out her shortcomings on set, while always finding a discreet way to help whenever someone gives her a hard time. As filming progresses, the love and hate playing out on camera begin to spill beyond the screen. Lin Xi realizes that the way she looks at Shen Tinglan is becoming increasingly strange. And that famously aloof award-winning actor is carrying the little rabbit hair clip she lost, so inconspicuous that no one else would notice it...
