Showbiz romance among the wealthy [Childhood sweethearts + mutual secret crushes, former lovers’ edition + bickering couple + a misunderstanding leads to three years apart + reunion after a long separation]
An aloof, reserved, top-tier actor from an old-money family and a radiant, proud, legendary songstress from a distinguished family
Three years ago, a single text made them both believe their secret love was nothing but a one-sided confession. They went their separate ways and never saw each other again. They thought they had moved on...
After returning to the country, Shen Mu finds herself in an awkward twist of fate: she’s asked to sing the theme song for a new drama starring Yu Zhibai, the actor she used to have a crush on. From then on, he barges back into her world.
At a business dinner, Shen Mu turns around and splashes a glass of baijiu in an investor’s face. “The Shen family of Guanzhou. Ring a bell?”
That night, Yu Zhibai blocks the entrance to Shen Mu’s hotel room. “What happened three years ago wasn’t what you think.”
She sneers and shuts the door. “Mr. Yu, even a dog wouldn’t listen to an explanation this late.”
Later, the theme song becomes a hit, and she turns her attention to her career.
But his eyes redden as he confesses at an awards ceremony: “I received that song, ‘The Belated Reply,’ far too late.”
