[The day I won the Grand Slam of Best Actress awards, my husband, Zhou Sinian, quietly ironed my gown backstage. When a reporter asked me the secret to my success, I smiled and said, "Hard work, and a little luck."]
★ Vicious superstar Xu Shijiu x devoted assistant Zhou Sinian. The woman has a past, the man doesn't; a wayward woman turns back.
★ Dual rebirth and redemption, from campus to the entertainment industry
Xu Shijiu died at twenty-eight, disgraced and infamous.
Ten years in the industry earned her only a final verdict from the entertainment news: "Terrible at acting, even worse as a person."
Her face once dazzled the entire entertainment industry, but her rebellious streak also made her enemies in half of show business. In her final days, she played a vicious supporting character in a low-budget web series, as if she were playing herself.
Only Zhou Sinian, the husband who lost his hearing in one ear for her, paid for her education, and was cheated on by her, stubbornly believed from beginning to end: "You'll become an international superstar."
She once thought it was the greatest mockery of her failure.
Reborn, she tramples everyone in her path, rising from a commodity to be picked over by others to a capitalist who makes the rules.
Zhou Sinian is still her most obedient tool, cleaning up every mess for her and enduring all her cruelty.
She's certain he's just a convenient, inconspicuous stepping-stone on her road to success.
Then the scandal "Xu Shijiu Bullies Her Assistant" suddenly hits the trending searches. Her team suggests sacrificing him to save her, pinning everything on Zhou Sinian and branding him a deranged stalker who turned to hate after being rejected.
That night, she calls him to her room, lifts his chin, and asks, "Would you be willing?"
Zhou Sinian lowers his eyes. He doesn't refuse, only says it's his honor.
But the next day, Xu Shijiu posts on Weibo.
It's a photo of their freshly issued marriage certificate, with the caption: [He's mine. So what if I bully him a little?]
She thinks it's just a momentary impulse, a show of protection that is uniquely hers, a gift of her own domineering generosity. She doesn't know that the man who is always so humble before her has also returned with his memories.
He repeats the path he took in his previous life, all so she will come to him again.
★ She conquered the world, only to discover that the world was in the way he looked at her.
