After My Confession Is Rejected, the Arrogant Heartthrob Regrets It

[Second Chances / Groveling Romance / Reunion After Years Apart / Love Triangle]

The summer after high school graduation, outspoken Yin Shuai falls for her aloof upperclassman, An Min, at first sight. Rather than wait for their flirtation to develop, she comes right out and asks him where they stand, only to find him laughing and fooling around with another girl by the sea. Swallowing her heartache, she calls things off herself: “If you don’t like me that much, then let’s just go back to being friends.”

Then she turns and sets off to study abroad.

After completing her studies, Yin Shuai returns home and becomes a rising director. The first film she takes on has two striking words in the screenwriter credit: “Mo Bai.” An Min, the indecisive college senior who was once an intern, is now a celebrated screenwriter at the top of his game. And by coincidence, the film’s heroine is the very girl from the beach, who is still hopelessly in love with An Min.

As if things weren’t dramatic enough, the idol Yin Shuai had been crazy about in school turns out to be An Min’s closest friend. Over the years, the idol has fallen deeply in love with her. When he hears she’s back, he heads straight to the set and challenges An Min to his face: “Let’s compete fairly. I’m not giving up.”

On set, she’s the director holding the script. Off set, she’s the leading lady being pursued by two remarkable men.

On the last day of filming, the usually aloof An Min finally loses his composure and corners her on the beach late at night:

“It’s time to keep your promise.”

“Yin Shuai, do you still want to hear my answer?”
