Lin Jingzhao’s parents divorced. She went with her father, but grew up living as though she had no father at all.
Her father is a polished, self-serving man who puts profit above all else. Once she became an adult, he remarried by agreement with a business partner.
Bad news: She now has a sister to fight over the family fortune with.
Good news: This sister is the ex-girlfriend of her older brother, who lives abroad.
Her sister is a director. Unable to find a suitable leading lady for her new film, she sets her sights on Lin Jingzhao.
“Big sis this, big sis that. Are you going to do something about it when big sis can’t sleep at night?”
And so Lin Jingzhao makes her debut with a tragic, beautiful, strong-woman image.

Chen Yuzhou is a transmigrator. He travels back to his hometown twenty years earlier and finds himself staring at his father as a young man.
After much persuasion, his father, who’s suddenly become a dad, finally believes where he came from. But the two soon find themselves worrying about how to make a living.
Chen’s father: Son, what do you do in the future? Can you help your dad enjoy a comfortable life ahead of time?
Chen Yuzhou: I guess I work in finance and accounting.
Chen’s father: ...Never mind, leave it to Dad!
Chen Yuzhou’s father is a minor actor. After hearing his cheap son’s recollections, he works hard at auditions and lands a role in Lin Jingzhao’s production. Once on set, he discovers that his cheap son has applied to be the leading lady’s assistant.
Chen’s father: ...
You little brat!
Chen Yuzhou knows Lin Jingzhao will become a globally famous actress. He already works as the CFO at her company, so this time he’s determined to work his way up to CEO.

Lin Jingzhao finds that life after her debut is much smoother than before. She earns more and more money, and her fame rises with every award she wins. The whole world has kissed her.
But she knows Chen Yuzhou played a part in making this life possible, so she rewards him with a kiss.
Chen Yuzhou is secretly delighted, but starts listing, like calling out dishes on a menu, all the people who’ve tried to steal her away. He loathes them and would love to get rid of them all.
Lin Jingzhao just smiles, never mentioning what people say about her being a queen with a rabid guard dog.
All she has to do is crook her finger, and he’ll bow his head.
Because he knows that before her slap lands, he’ll catch the scent of her first.
