Even today, people in the entertainment industry still talk about Guan Shiyu.
Such a dazzling actress, with a face of breathtaking beauty and an utterly captivating presence, yet she took her own life for love at the height of her career. Though more than twenty years have passed since the shocking tragedy, people still sigh whenever it is mentioned.
The man she died for, meanwhile, is thriving. He has a beautiful wife by his side, and his son has also entered the entertainment industry, achieving great success and winning several Best Actor awards.
That son is the top-tier star Lin Qi.
Whenever the media interviews him, they love to bring up his father's old love affair.
The young Best Actor's expression is distant, and he makes no secret of his irritation at the same old question. He only says coldly that he doesn't know anything about it, without even offering a word of condolence.

No one knows that during the loneliest, most invisible years of Lin Qi's adolescence, an old-fashioned DVD was always tucked away in his suitcase.
It was a film starring Guan Shiyu.
On the grainy screen, the woman was radiant and charming, every smile and frown astonishingly alive.
Lin Qi watched the film over and over again.
He knew every detail of every frame by heart.
She spoke on the screen, laughed on the screen, lived on the screen.
She kept him company through countless lonely nights.
Lin Qi once thought that this repressed affection could only dwell in the faded images of someone who had passed away.
Until one day...
Lin Qi happened to catch his newlywed wife, Shi Yu, whom he'd been tricked into marrying to appease his elders, curled up on the sofa, playing his precious DVD and complaining with her mouth full of popcorn:
"Bootlegs really are awful. How did they make my oval face look diamond-shaped?"

When Guan Shiyu opened her eyes, she had not only transmigrated more than twenty years into the future, but had also taken over the body of Shi Yu, an unknown actress in the entertainment industry.
Even more absurdly, the whole world said she'd taken her own life for love.
To find out how she died, she had to start with her famous ex-boyfriend. Given her current situation, getting close to that old man would be difficult, but getting close to his son, a top-tier star and an actor himself, should be much easier.
Besides...
Guan Shiyu gazed at her nephew's devastatingly handsome face and rubbed her chin with a mischievous grin. Heh, using her charms on a face like that wouldn't be such a bad deal.
She just didn't expect someone to turn the tables on her.
#Shock! He might be using his charms on her too#
#She wanted to take advantage of her nephew, but he disrespected his elders#
#Wait, how did this turn into a marriage???#
-Bonus scene-
After an argument, Shi Yu packed her bag, ready to spend the night at a nearby luxury hotel after a spa treatment. Lin Qi held her against the door and stopped her.
Shi Yu: "Don't make things difficult for a little actress, Best Actor."
Lin Qi sneered. "You kiss me whenever you want, hug me whenever you want, and when you're unhappy you pull my hair, kick me in the waist, and tell me I'm disrespecting my elders... Isn't this little actress pretty tough?"
Shi Yu: "Heh, wouldn't it be better if I left? Then you could go back to being a simp for your moonlight in the sky."
Lin Qi looked at her, then suddenly stepped forward and licked her.
