Top-Tier Star: The Crown Prince's Road to Redemption

At the top floor of Hong Kong’s Peninsula Hotel, in front of the city’s media, Cen Yushen coolly pulled his arm away from Jiang Wan, who had linked hers through it, and introduced her to the cameras: “This is Miss Jiang, a new artist signed by my family’s company.” In that moment, Jiang Wan finally understood that in his eyes, she had always been nothing more than an actress he was ashamed to acknowledge.

Born into one of Hong Kong’s most powerful families, Cen Yushen is widely known as the crown prince of the Hong Kong entertainment scene. Cold and arrogant, he has absorbed his family’s contempt for the entertainment industry to the bone. He loves Jiang Wan’s beauty and perceptiveness, yet remains condescending and proud, allowing his family to torment and suppress her while publicly distancing himself from her. When Jiang Wan gives him one last calm look and turns away, cutting every tie between them, Cen Yushen thinks it is nothing more than an insignificant breakup.

Five years later, Jiang Wan has swept the country’s and the world’s top film and television awards. The charitable foundation she founded has received official praise, and she has become a top-tier star renowned for both her reputation and talent. Only after parting ways with her does Cen Yushen realize he has never truly let her go. Faced with his family’s stubborn prejudice over social status, he joins forces with a close friend and pretends to be gay to put an end to their plans for an arranged marriage. At last, he clears away every obstacle, only to discover that Jiang Wan no longer needs him.

He sets aside all his pride and begins a long, humble campaign to win back his wife. She keeps her distance, and he quietly protects her. She treats him coldly, and he accepts it gladly. When he slowly drops to his knees backstage at the Hong Kong Arts Festival awards ceremony, in front of everyone in the industry, they all understand: the Hong Kong entertainment scene’s once all-conquering crown prince has finally paid the most painful price for his arrogance.
