The Man Who Once Knelt and Begged Her to Come Back Now Kneels to Watch

He once knelt in the rain on a city street, begging her not to leave. Shen Zhaoye didn't even look back. Three years later, she has reached the top of the international stage as a Palme d'Or-winning actress, smiling frostily on the red carpet, while Ji Jin has become a washed-up director mocked across the internet. He kneels outside the set, asking only for her to star in his final film. She says nothing, merely having her assistant hand him a check for ten times what he earned risking his life on film sets back then. He looks up and sees the dazzling galaxy of stars behind her. He isn't even worthy of being a shadow in her light.
