A Heart Lost to Love

Aloof, calculating movie emperor × Gentle on the outside, strong-willed on the inside bit-part actress

While filming, bit-part actress Xin Long unexpectedly runs into movie emperor Shen Yan again.

The man rumored to be cold, abstinent, and uninterested in women has come to play a bit role as a background character.

Everyone thinks the movie emperor is just taking a whim and having some fun, but he closes in on her step by step, cornering her inside his van.

"You avoided me for three years. You wouldn't answer my calls or reply to my messages. You even changed your account."

His fingertips gently brush her brow. "How much longer are you going to run?"

Forced to look up, she meets his unfathomable gaze.

"We're not even related..."

"Not related?" He laughs softly, his gaze deepening. "Then who was it back then, eyes red, tugging at my sleeve and calling me big brother over and over?"

Later, at a celebration banquet, a newly popular actress gets drunk and boldly asks the movie emperor why he favors that unremarkable bit-part actress in particular.

Shen Yan swirls his wineglass and looks toward a certain someone in the corner, secretly scooping cake into her mouth. His gaze is tender, though even he doesn't notice it.

"Because she reminds me so much of someone."

"Someone I've searched for a long time, and nearly thought I'd never find in this lifetime."

The moonlight he searched for everywhere is at this very moment guiltily stuffing another big spoonful of cream into her mouth.
