Rumors About Him and Me Again Today [Entertainment Industry]

[Cool, striking beauty with a teasing streak × Refined, self-possessed international film director] The next book will be [Embrace the Colors of Spring], about the male lead's older brother~

Shen Jianwei is a little-known director, a documentary filmmaker who became famous before her work did, and the Best Newcomer at the Documentary Awards.

With her striking looks and cool demeanor, she appeared in an interview video, and the comments were full of looks-obsessed fans saying things like:

“Girl, stop making documentaries. The entertainment industry needs you.”

Liang Yushen is an internationally acclaimed director who has won countless awards. Born into a wealthy family, his face attracts more fans than many male stars in the industry.

The two people who seemed to have nothing to do with each other were photographed leaving a restaurant together late one night.

Both sides quickly clarified: dinner with friends.

Three minutes later, someone dug up photos from the Xingwan Film Festival a few years ago. The pretty staffer beside Liang Yushen, who seemed like a girlfriend from outside the industry, looked a lot like Shen Jianwei.

Shen Jianwei first met Liang Yushen at the airport late at night during the Xingwan Film Festival.

At the time, she was just a student whom her teacher had hurriedly roped in to help greet guests.

He was a mysterious guest who had just flown back from overseas.

Nobody knew that Shen Jianwei was actually his fan.

The first time Liang Yushen saw one of Shen Jianwei's films, it was a student project.

It was raw, but full of promise.

The next time he saw her was at the Xingwan Film Festival.

She stood among the crowd holding an airport pickup sign, calm and beautiful, like a leading lady who had wandered into the shot by mistake.

One-on-one, sweet, happy ending.

Meng Shuyao admitted that there were plenty of people pursuing her.

She knew she was beautiful, and that a little bait now and then was usually enough to get what she wanted. But it was hard not to feel tempted to leverage the power of the young head of the Liang family.

The first time they met, Liang Yuheng was in the lobby of a five-star hotel when she spilled coffee all over him. The woman before him looked just like the “fake socialite” the younger members of his family said was only there to get photographed. And yet, she sparked his interest.

He later learned that her sweet, obedient act was the biggest lie of all. Beneath it was a heartless little fox. He saw right through her, yet still indulged her, making exception after exception.

When her teasing left him yearning for her, he most regretted acting so aloof when they first met and having his assistant exchange contact details with her. He had missed out on so many days of being pursued by her.

Later, she took the place of his girlfriend and accepted everything he offered her without hesitation, yet still managed to walk away.

Meng Shuyao herself was rather impressed by her own willpower.

Years later, Meng Shuyao became the most captivating East Asian face on the international runway.

Luxury brands competed to invite her, and top designers called her their muse. Along with that came old stories repeatedly dug up, scandals of uncertain veracity, and persistent rumors that she had a wealthy patron. Together, they made her name thunder across the industry.

Some people spent lavishly on her. Others waited for her to fall from grace.

At the reunion dinner, Liang Yuheng watched her smile at someone else, his glass untouched.

She'd been no different when she was sweet-talking him back then.

And yet she still dared to come over and tease him with a radiant smile.

“Miss Meng, do you remember me?”

Meng Shuyao hooked her arm through his and looked up at him, heedless of the consequences. “What, can't I call you my boyfriend anymore?”

Liang Yuheng lowered his gaze, his eyes dark.

She only smiled innocently.

“I don't remember ever saying we were breaking up.”

That night, rain streaked the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the room was just as damp. The woman's cool voice broke apart until it was no longer intelligible. She paid dearly for those words.

- Before I become your lover, I want to become the person I want to be.

- If you want to climb higher, I'll be your ladder to the clouds. When you've achieved your dream, you can embrace the colors of spring.

Theme: A truly good relationship isn't about making one person the other's accessory. It's about choosing to draw closer even as each follows their own path and shines.
