Shen Yueling's fortune of tens of millions was frozen overnight. Betrayed by her business partner, the cultural entrepreneur hit rock bottom.
Investor Lu Yanci had the capital to pull her out of the fire, but she firmly turned him down. She was determined to make her way through the mud alone.
Few knew that Lu Yanci had been quietly watching her for a full ten years. It began at a rainy market, with a handmade magazine that cost fifteen yuan. He respected her boundaries and stayed on the sidelines. He wouldn't fight her battles for her, only support her from the shadows.
Rising from the ruins, Shen Yueling rebuilt Yue Bai Creative. Together with lawyer Bai Zhizi, she fought against the crushing power of capital and the industry's deep-rooted ills. Rather than obsess over revenge, she resolved to use rules to protect creators at the bottom of the ladder.
After years of quiet devotion, at last came an answer. Some feelings don't need to be announced to carry their own weight.
Theme: Save yourself, and save others. Protect your ideals amid the ruins, and carve out a way forward within the rules.
