Landing on the Clouds

Younger love x a five-year age gap

Wen Xiangzhu is widely regarded in the industry as a pretty face with no talent. She's the kind of beauty whose looks are so stunning they seem to glitch the screen, making people forget just how terrible her acting is. In fact, she makes the leads in the same show seem more like supporting characters.

The fans of the male and female leads won't stand for it. Why should a pretty-faced supporting actress be more popular than the leads? Wen Xiangzhu's antis vow to dig up some explosive dirt and drive her out of showbiz for good.

Unfortunately, Wen Xiangzhu's secrets are hidden as flawlessly as her face. Apart from her universally acknowledged terrible acting, there isn't a single scandal. So her antis follow her for three months before finally snapping a photo of her entering the same hotel as a married big shot in the photography world.

This time, the antis have proof. They post a photo of the two getting into the same car, setting off an uproar in showbiz.

Before anyone can react,

A big shot in the photography world quickly posts a household registration document:

"We've been on the same household register for almost thirty years. There's some affection between us, but not much."

Wen Xiangzhu comments below:

"Let me introduce everyone. This is my maternal half-brother."

Antis: ???

Fans: !!!

Later, people gradually realize that Wen Xiangzhu's acting seems more and more pleasant to watch. Little by little, she gets so good that people stop paying attention only to her face.

Not long after Wen Xiangzhu made her debut, she went to an audition and the director told her, "Your face is too beautiful. You'd be suited to modeling, but not acting."

Wen Xiangzhu isn't the type to accept her fate, so she began working relentlessly on her acting.

Everyone mocked her, saying the only thing she had going for her was her pretty face. So she would use that face to carve out a path to success.

She began appearing in bit parts in all kinds of TV dramas and films: a vicious supporting actress who uses her beauty as a bargaining chip to climb the ladder, a beautiful single mother who gets bullied, a stunning assassin who schemes for a living...

Years later, when she stood on the awards stage, holding the Best Actress trophy,

she said, "Girls, when someone tells you that you're not suited to doing something, don't doubt yourself. Go ahead and do it. All you can do is trust every choice you make. Someone once said the only thing I had going for me was my face. But look at me now: I won this award."

From the day he met Wen Xiangzhu, Xie Gongqiu wore a mask. At first it was to deceive Wen Xiangzhu. Later, it was to deceive himself.

It wasn't until he discovered that Wen Xiangzhu had started bringing a man home that he tore off the mask once more.

One night, he pinned Wen Xiangzhu to the bed, his eyes red and his voice plaintive:

"Sis, didn't you say you only loved me?"
