Zhang Qing is a grassroots actress, worlds apart from the washed-up top-tier star Xie You. But Xie You acted his age poorly and got her pregnant.

In the fifth year of their marriage, with their child now three, Zhang Qing's husband cheated on her. She even smashed up a variety show to defend her washed-up idol, Xie You, and now faces a total online ban.

It was a role offer from the very washed-up top-tier star she had defended that pulled her out of the depths of despair.

Xie You is the youngest Best Director in the history of the Hong Kong Film Awards. Although he has not released a project in over a decade, he remains firmly at the top of the director world.

The top-tier star Daddy everyone in Hong Kong's entertainment circle wants to get close to is still single at fifty. There isn't an actor who doesn't want to get close to him, male or female.

The childless old man even has Zhang Qing looking after him when he's sick.

She sees Xie You only as her idol, her senior, and her benefactor. Though she tells him she loves him every day after meeting him, she never dares to entertain improper thoughts.

But one day by the sea, the great director swept her into his arms, and his deep voice stirred a storm inside her.

His deep, resonant voice brushed her ear. "How about getting a divorce? Be with me. I can make you famous. Money, a mansion, the best scripts and opportunities: take your pick."

Zhang Qing was stunned. The great director, twenty years older than her and someone everyone wanted to get close to, actually liked her?

How could a faithful wife whose husband had cheated on her resist such temptation? She went straight home, divorced the scumbag, and set off for Hong Kong Island in search of true love.

She thought she and Xie You were just using each other. No matter how much she loved him, after three years she would become no more than the stranger who knew him best.

But Xie You was so clingy that, before long, she was pregnant...

Later, Xie You sold off his assets to pave her way to the Hong Kong Film Awards and brought her before the whole world.

She became famous at home and abroad, had a child and a career, and wanted to bring their relationship to a conclusion.

The newly crowned Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actress, eyes glistening with tears, gave her acceptance speech.

Then, in front of all the media, she proposed to the hottest director in Hong Kong, Xie You. "Director Xie, when are you going to marry me? If you don't marry me soon, you'll lose your chance. My suitors are lined up all the way to France."

The whole room erupted. Everyone thought the woman was about to embarrass herself. Xie You didn't like women. But the man in his fifties sitting below smiled, stood up, and walked onto the stage.

He dropped to one knee and took out an engagement ring. "Then, Ms. Zhang Qing, will you marry me?"

That year, Zhang Qing married the man she loved most. She had success in both love and career, and her life was complete.

You were born before I was, and I was born when you were already old. But it doesn't matter, because the rest of my life belongs to you.
