She Shines Like the Stars

Lou Yang, whom Shu Pingfan had secretly loved for years, suddenly became the subject of romance rumors everywhere. While everyone was gossiping, Lou Yang held a press conference, looking enveloped in tenderness. "Yes, Weng Yu and I are together."

The first female celebrity to come out, and none other than the three-time Golden Laurel Award-winning actress Lou Yang. The news set off a storm.

The next day, Weng Yu held a press conference of her own. Her long hair hung loose, and she wore a casual white T-shirt. Her haggard face left everyone stunned. "I'm not attracted to women, and I'm not a lesbian. Lou Yang forced herself on me and abused her power to coerce me."

The scandal of award-winning actress Lou Yang coercing another female celebrity stunned the world. Lou Yang's career suffered, she lost a huge number of fans, and then she disappeared from public view without a trace.

Shu Pingfan searched the world over for Lou Yang. Two years later, she finally found her. The gentle smile Lou Yang had always worn in front of the cameras was gone, and there was no light in her eyes. Shu Pingfan stayed by her side, studied psychology on her own, and doggedly followed the advice in her books, hoping only to make Lou Yang happy. But Lou Yang repeatedly rejected her with a cold face.

She failed and tried again, treating Lou Yang like a child. Naive yet sincere, she laid her heart before Lou Yang and tried to weave a fairy tale into the reality of the present.

Lou Yang's heart seemed walled off behind impenetrable defenses. Shu Pingfan never said she would give up, until one day, as a televised awards ceremony played, Weng Yu stepped onto the stage in an elegant white gown. Shu Pingfan saw Lou Yang staring at the screen, a smile on her lips.

Shu Pingfan gave up and turned to leave. But the world changed, and Lou Yang instead began clinging to her.

She taught her to act, found her opportunities, and personally passed on her skills.

One night, after drinking, Shu Pingfan cried and asked, "If you don't like me, why are you so good to me?"

Lou Yang held her tenderly and stroked her hair again and again. "If I told you I've liked you for a long time, would you believe me?"

Later, a reporter asked Lou Yang why she had decided to return to acting. Lou Yang looked into the camera with the same gentle expression she had worn years ago, but now it was even more captivating and resolute. "Because someone stumbled her way to my side and clumsily offered me her heart. How could I bear to disappoint her?"
