Pretty please~ Qiu Xuan VS Shi Hang A disgraced actress VS a gentle, attentive director Blurb: 1. Qiu Xuan She was once the actress with the best chance of winning every major award, but she trusted the wrong people, and her reputation plummeted until she was nearly ruined. At her lowest point, she ran into him again. Shi Hang The second son of the Shi family, a film director who has won award after award. He was also Qiu Xuan's benefactor, and the director of her first starring film. “Why are you always such a mess whenever I see you?” “Save me, please.” “Sure, but there's one condition.” Shi Hang lifted her chin with his long, slender fingers, smiling warmly. “Marry me.” 2. After enduring the world's coldness and nearly freezing to death in a blizzard, Qiu Xuan met the god with a tender heart who was meant for her. He held out his hand to her, not caring that she was covered in filth. Carefully and patiently, he pieced her broken self back together, bit by bit. 3. Many years later, after winning all the major awards, Qiu Xuan is interviewed by the media. A reporter asks her this question. “Going from being surrounded by adoration to being hated by everyone and having your reputation ruined, then rising from the depths and starting over, is there anyone in particular you'd like to thank?” Qiu Xuan answers without hesitation. “My husband, Shi Hang. Thank you for never giving up on me.” “And my past self. I'm glad I didn't give up, and that I lived long enough to meet someone willing to reach out and hold on to me.” “I've made it through the snow and ice, and welcomed the spring that belongs to me.” Content warnings and notes for readers 1.
