The worst investment Lu Chengyan ever made was leaving without a word seven years ago.
But soon he is about to make his second-worst investment: spending three hundred million to bankroll the failing theater of his ex, Shen Jiming.
There is only one condition: within three months, Shen Jiming must direct a masterpiece that takes both the box office and critics by storm.
If he wins, the theater is his. If he loses, it gets demolished on the spot.
Shen Jiming is a genius writer-director, widely known in the industry as “box office poison.” His last production was so savagely panned that he nearly quit the business.
Looking at the wager agreement, he asks just one question:
“Why did you come back?”
Lu Chengyan gives no answer. In front of the entire crew, he simply drops to one knee and ties Shen Jiming’s shoelaces.
Just as he used to before every performance back in college.
Only later do they realize the gamble was about more than a theater.
It was about the truth they had left unspoken for seven years.
About two lives that had nearly gone their separate ways.
About one last chance for everyone in this rundown theater to turn things around.
Welcome to Turning Point Theater.
Here you’ll find:
· A powerful financier × a sharp-tongued director (second chance romance, evenly matched rivals)
· A flamboyant songstress × an ascetic stage manager (childhood grudges, reconciliation after a thaw)
· A passionate theater nut with a heart of gold × a socially anxious screenwriter (secret love comes true, a straightforward pursuit of his wife)
And a group of people who refuse to let the world define them.
They wager everything to prove that art will never die, and neither will love.
