In her previous life, Qing Lu watched helplessly as her best friend, Xia Tian, was tormented by a scumbag man and fell from a high-rise to her death. Qing Lu herself was caught in an accident while trying to break up their fight.
When they opened their eyes after being reborn, Qing Lu and Xia Tian had both returned to their high school days. Seeing the acceptance letter from the academy of performing arts, Qing Lu grabbed Xia Tian's hand and said, "Tian Tian, go to school, act, become a star, and don't date!"
She thought her friend, whose head was always in the clouds over love, would firmly refuse.
Instead, this time her friend nodded and agreed!

Xia Tian is beautiful, has a sweet voice, and comes from a privileged family. She's a heaven-chosen star, as if God himself had been feeding her opportunities. The academy of performing arts had already noticed her in her previous life, and her career should have been dazzling. But she fell head over heels for love, married a scumbag, and had a child before graduating college, throwing away her chance at stardom.
As her best friend, Qing Lu could only watch helplessly as Xia Tian, who should have belonged on the big screen, was left battered and bruised by that scumbag. Qing Lu tried again and again to talk her friend into coming to her senses, but every attempt failed.
By the time Xia Tian finally saw the scumbag for who he really was and came to her senses, he accidentally pushed her off a high-rise, taking her life for nothing.
Now that she has returned, reborn, Xia Tian has finally awakened. She won't let love hold her back, and she won't give up her education. She chooses to listen to Qing Lu, fulfill the dream she never achieved in her previous life, and walk the path she left unfinished.
Scumbag No. 1 wants to marry her and start a family? Sorry, I'm focused on advancing my career and won't be considering marriage.
Scumbag No. 2 wants to pursue her? Sorry, come back when you have roles and resources to offer!
Qing Lu, the ace agent, finally feels a weight lift from her heart as she watches her best friend gradually become a star.
Bestie! This is the path you were meant to take!!!!

Reading Guide:
1. Two female leads, with a friendship-focused story. They are the most important people in each other's lives, and there is no romance between them.
2. The romance serves the career storyline. After being reborn, both the heroine and her best friend only want to focus on their careers.
3. The best friend is her own person with a complete life of her own, not an accessory to the heroine.
