After eight years of trying to reach an “amicable split” with his agency, struggling third-tier actor Tan Ruixiao was set up and lost Pei Yiqing too.
For the three years after their breakup, Pei Yiqing avoided him in the industry, while continuing his work as an agent and managing an idol artist.
But eventually, they met again.
Now in his thirties, Tan Ruixiao was still the same “variety-show regular” who wasn’t chosen by the big money and had to audition everywhere.
Pei Yiqing had learned to say what people wanted to hear, whether they were decent or despicable. He moved between all kinds of banquets to find opportunities for his artist.
Then Tan Ruixiao became embroiled in scandals involving an affair with a popular actress and bullying younger actors on set, and his reputation plummeted...
In a world that looked glamorous on the surface but was driven by self-interest underneath, they each tried to prove their worth.
Could the deals and conspiracies lurking behind the scenes bring them together again?
Could they save each other from their desperate circumstances and rise to the top once more?
(The male lead is loosely based on a real person. Feel free to guess who in the comments, but this story is unrelated to real life, and all other characters are fictional. Please don’t assume anyone is based on a specific person.)
Theme: Pursue a shared dream and save each other.
Looking forward to the next plot~
