[Sly Best Actress × chaste director]
Two heroines + showbiz + groveling pursuit + rekindled romance + mutual healing
Everyone in showbiz knows that rising director Gu Nianqing is an ice block that never melts. She never casts based on popularity, only on acting ability.
That is, until the awards ceremony where she presents the Best Actress trophy to Shen Muxin, who finally wins after three years of nominations.
The crowd erupts, and the cameras turn toward them.
Shen Muxin accepts the trophy, her fingers brushing Gu Nianqing’s hand by accident. She chuckles. “Thank you, Director Gu. Looks like you’ve finally learned to treat actors fairly.”
Gu Nianqing’s gaze behind her glasses is calm and unreadable. Her voice carries throughout the venue over the microphone. “No need to thank me, Ms. Shen. Actors who are both excellent and affordable are hard to come by.”
The entire venue falls silent. It’s a public execution.
No one knows that they were once each other’s deepest secret, tucked into their diaries.
No one knows that Gu Nianqing has waited seven whole years for this moment.
Until one rainy night, Gu Nianqing slides a psychological evaluation report in front of Shen Muxin. The diagnosis is clear: histrionic personality disorder, untreated for a long time.
“Explain yourself, Ms. Shen.” Her eyes are bloodshot, but she speaks every word distinctly. “The breakup seven years ago, this illness… and the person standing in front of me now. How much of it is real?”
At last, Shen Muxin takes off her flawless mask and leans close, her presence dangerous and alluring. “Then why don’t you direct a scene yourself and see if you can cure me?”
“Or… tame me?”
