Homeward Bound [Showbiz]

Newly crowned Best Actress Shen Yi'an is beautiful, talented, and well-liked. Her only blemish is that five years ago, after debuting as part of a girl group formed on a survival show, she left the group just one year into its five-year contract. No matter how successful her career became afterward, people never stopped criticizing her for abandoning her former teammates.

But four years after leaving the group, Shen Yi'an joined the cast of a new drama, only to find that her costar was Lu Jianing, the former leader of her girl group.

Public opinion erupted. Her decision to leave the group four years ago once again sparked controversy online. While her haters celebrated, CP fans were just as thrilled: "Grandma, the ship you shipped has risen from the dead!"

The girl group Super Girls had been around for five years, three of them spent fading into obscurity. With the originally scheduled disbandment date fast approaching, leader Lu Jianing received two messages.

"I've arranged a few group livestreams for you."

"You've passed the audition for The Ballad of Heroines. You can sign the contract anytime."

On one side was a management company that only wanted to wring the last bit of popularity out of her. On the other was an olive branch from a legitimate production team. The choice should have been obvious.

But after signing the contract, she discovered that Shen Yi'an, the woman she'd avoided for four years, had been cast as the female lead in The Ballad of Heroines.

She put up every defense she had, never expecting that the woman who had once paid her so much attention it left her struggling to breathe would seem so unruffled when they met again.

The trouble was, she seemed to have fallen in love with her.

Shen Yi'an had carefully engineered their reunion and, just as she'd hoped, won the other woman's heart.

But when the tension between them reached its peak, she began to feel deeply afraid.

Could a love built on deception and disguise still have a happy ending once the truth came out?
