[Younger woman × older woman + second-chance romance + faux showbiz + mutual flirtation]
Gentle, capable producer older sister vs. sweet-on-the-outside, ruthless capitalist editor younger sister
* Ten-year age gap
* A groveling-to-win-her-back romance
Playful blurb:
Their first meeting on set:
Li Xingqing, born into a fortune, claims: I'm a poor student here to work my way through school. Please take me in.
Xi Zhen, an actual producer, claims: I've been a low-level assistant for ten years. Please let me go.
And so begins a romance in which I feel sorry for you, and you feel sorry for me.
The two are all over each other, even crammed into a "rental apartment" as they act out a tragic love story about two people whose love is all they have left.
Sadly, love doesn't last, and they soon break up.
Li Xingqing boards her private jet and leaves the country, while Xi Zhen moves back into her mansion to show off her wealth.
They both swear to prove: I'm doing better than my ex after our breakup!
But five years later, at a cocktail party, Li Xingqing looks at a drunken Xi Zhen, her gaze icy, her face saying: See? You really couldn't find anyone better after leaving me.
Then she wraps an arm around Xi Zhen's waist and lifts her up.
"If you can't find anyone better, then you should come back to me, big sister."
Serious blurb:
At twenty, Li Xingqing met Xi Zhen. She was beautiful and mysterious, like a datura blooming in the night, so magnificent she was almost heartbreakingly beautiful.
But Li Xingqing ran away, and lost Xi Zhen.
When they reunited at twenty-five, she finally realized that Xi Zhen had never been a datura, never something so extravagant as to bloom in the dark and then wither. She was a mallow growing in a crack by the wall, small and ordinary, standing tall in the wind.
This time, Li Xingqing swears, she'll be good.
