Seven years ago, he was an unknown rookie director, and she was the one he loved, who stayed by his side through the hardest times.
When they finally made it, they went their separate ways. She left for another land, while he rose to the top of the industry.
Seven years later, he was hustling around a university campus to cast a film when he met a girl who danced classical ballet.
She had just turned nineteen. When she smiled, her eyes curved like crescents, and she was as unpolished and precious as a rough-cut gem.
No one knew that the pure and sweet dance student had become the secret the great director kept hidden behind the camera.
No one knew, either, that the powerful industry mogul would set aside all his pride for one girl.
She said, “I don’t need a title. I just want to stay by your side.”
He said, “Wait for me. I’ll give you everything.”
But when the woman he once loved returned with a grudge, when scandalous stories flooded the internet, and when the lives of two children hung by a thread, he finally understood that some loves must be guarded for a lifetime.
“The greatest award I’ve ever won, in this life as Lin Chenzhou, is you.”
“The best thing I’ve ever done, in this life as Shi Qian, was choosing to stay back then.”
