A scheming, low-profile actress × a cool, artsy film director
Born into a prestigious family of artists and a graduate of New York University's film directing program, Xi Jing had already swept up awards at home and abroad by the age of thirty-two with her self-directed and self-starred film Late Star.
At the same time, she was one of the hardest directors in the industry to work with.
Her severe cleanliness obsession, maddening attention to detail, exacting standards for dialogue and acting, and occasional eccentric temper kept everyone at a distance outside of work.
Gu Yaoxing, the only daughter of the Gu Group, chose to enter the entertainment industry rather than inherit her family's fortune worth hundreds of billions, all so she could drag Xi Jing, that untouchable beauty, down from her pedestal.
During the day on set, she was chewed out for getting a line wrong. That night, back at the hotel, she picked up a bottle of red wine and knocked on Director Xi's door.
Xi Jing's usually immaculate hair was now disheveled. Her expression was restrained, but her fair face had already flushed red.
"Gu Yaoxing, that's enough."
"What? Have you realized you were wrong?"
In front of the mirror, Gu Yaoxing reached around with one hand to lift Xi Jing's chin, savoring her dazed expression.
"But, Director, I haven't called cut yet..."
