Feigning Indifference [Rekindling an Old Flame]

[Can start at any time.] [Black-hearted, powerful man × clear-headed canary] [Powerful man bows his head | The road to winning her back is paved with fire | Rekindled love] Blurb: - Everyone knows she's his forbidden fruit, yet he longs for her to the point of madness. - In the entertainment industry, people often get mistaken for each other. Before Cheng Jiarui left the industry, passersby were always saying that other people looked like her. Unfortunately, things had changed by the time she returned. Now everyone was saying she looked like the rising star Gan Tang. After all, the person backing Gan Tang was Lu Huailin. Lu Huailin was born into privilege and had a cool, detached disposition. Nothing in the mundane world could catch his eye, except Cheng Jiarui, the one thorn in his heart. Back then, she had left without a word and hadn't even looked back at him. During the years when Cheng Jiarui was a huge star, she spoke her mind and offended many people. Now that she had fallen from grace, there was no way she could have an easy time. Roles were snatched from her, filming locations were taken over, and every good opportunity passed her by. One act of deliberate obstruction even came from Lu Huailin himself, emboldening those who were already eager to kick her while she was down. With nowhere else to turn, she finally swallowed her pride for the sake of a living, humbly apologized, and was repaid with even more abuse from those snobs. In the end, she went to ask Lu Huailin for help, but Gan Tang took it upon herself to turn her away. The next day, jokes about her were circulating around the industry. The real deal was still right there, yet she was eagerly trying to be a substitute. It was downright humiliating. Who could have guessed that very night, Gan Tang would be thrown out of Lu Huailin's mansion, and he would personally welcome the real deal back. Theme: Love and peace.
