Warm Medicine for the Sinking Stars

True Love Arrives, and the Childhood Friend Wins

A long-buried young love versus the stars she once looked up to

Shen Zhiai has followed her grandfather's wishes since childhood, living an ordinary life between the clinic and school.

By a twist of fate, she steps in at the last minute to help her best friend and unexpectedly debuts in the entertainment industry. In doing so, she reunites with the idol she had a crush on when she was young.

Who would have thought that the very next day, Shen Zhiai would become the subject of gossip?

Her idol is actually her childhood friend? How did she not know?

With one advance after another, Shen Zhiai's long-sealed heart seems to flutter again.

As the saying goes, it's easy for a woman to win a man over, but a man has to move mountains to win a woman.

Lu Chenyuan, you'd better give it your best shot!

Shen Zhiai believes in looking forward. To say goodbye to the past, she admits aloud:

“Back then, the person I liked was you.”

But why, after saying goodbye, does Shen Zhiai feel that Lu Chenyuan seems to have gotten clingy?

When it comes to romance, Lu Chenyuan is a clueless goose, a block of wood.

Everyone thinks the award-winning actor is just caught up in a passing whim. Only Lu Chenyuan knows this rare flutter in his heart is an insatiable desire.

And so Lu Chenyuan falls, step by step.

“So, what do you wish for?”

“I like you.”

“So I wish that someday, little by little, you'll come to like me too.”

“I don't understand you, Lu Chenyuan. What is it about me that you like?”

“You work hard and keep striving, with a bright resilience. And you're impossible to look away from in the first place. If someone as outstanding as you didn't appeal to me, that would be truly strange.”

If he could, Lu Chenyuan would use every means at his disposal.

But he was afraid of scaring her away.

There was no one else in the world like Shen Zhiai.

“So, could you give me a chance to pursue you? Even if it's for a year, half a year, or just a few months, could you give me this one chance?”

He was afraid of choosing the wrong words. He was afraid that one step forward from him would make Shen Zhiai take ten steps back. He wasn't afraid of her turning down his confession.

He was afraid he wouldn't even get a chance.

Later, Lu Chenyuan discovered that Shen Zhiai was all bark and no bite.

So, during the year he'd been given, a certain kindhearted citizen, Mr. Lu, began his pursuit by playing the victim and acting cute.

Lu Chenyuan debuted as a child star and went abroad after an accident in his youth.

After returning to China, he rose to fame for his acting, then gradually withdrew from the screen to pay for his mother's medical treatment.

Through under-the-table maneuvering by the company, he became a special guest mentor on a talent show.

As the two met, their roles kept shifting.

Love begins with talent and lasts because of character.

A red thread that had once been severed brought them together again.

He said, “I'll wait for you. I'll always wait for you.”
