The Side Curtain

Opening on December 24. Chapters are being banked.

Second chance romance | Each other's first love | Healing

Top-tier star actor × stage actor

The secret account of top-tier star actor Zhou Hengzhi has been exposed to the whole internet. Its username is "Ci Jing," and it follows only one person: Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan is a leading actress at the National Theatre. Not long ago, she worked with Zhou Hengzhi on the film Blue Hour on the Misty Waves.

Everyone speculated about whether their romance was real, but eventually concluded it was just the production team's usual marketing ploy.

Until more and more clues came to light:

Photos of the two of them always together in college, Zhou Hengzhi wearing a mask to support Zhu Yan's plays, matching couple charms...

They had been the golden couple of the drama academy, and each other's first love.

At twenty-two, with nowhere left to turn, Zhou Hengzhi thought of leaving the person he loved.

The sun should always shine high above.

During the years they were apart, he secretly went to see her plays and quietly sent her lots of encouraging messages from his alternate account.

He took bit parts, worked as a model, and doubled for actors in action scenes. Fate finally took pity on him at twenty-six.

One role made him a sensation across the internet, and he landed a part in a major director's film.

Best of all, he reunited with Zhu Yan there.

All these years, Zhu Yan had never let him go.

When they met again, she remembered how the two of them had performed together in college plays, none of which had ever gotten a happy ending. Seeing the film description end with "the lovers finally find their way to each other," she could only think it was probably fate's cruel irony.

Only when they lifted the Golden Cup together that night did she understand it was fate's prophecy.

"You have to go through every bad ending first to earn the happy ending that came late."

@Actor Zhou Hengzhi: I love you, and I still love you

@Actor Zhu Yan: Thank you, fate, for laying the groundwork for our reunion
