After losing his family, watching his lover leave, and seeing his spiritual energy fade away, Pei Sheng, once a dazzling star in the film industry, fell into a slump. In a daze, he lived up to the gossip media's sneering headline: "The Tragic Current State of a Genius Actor!"
Then an offer for a role he would never have dared dream of dropped into his lap, and a fairy tale began.
The investor, He Tinglan, descended like a god. He adjusted the filming schedule for Pei Sheng, helped him with desensitization training, admired every performance, and cared about every change in his mood...
In the world of fairy tales, there is everything you could wish for.
He was so sensitive and fragile that he needed a little stuffed toy to feel warm and safe. When He Tinglan found out, he felt embarrassed, but He Tinglan sincerely praised it. "It's so cute. No wonder you like it so much."
He thought this was his last chance. As he faced the major scene ahead, anxiety made it hard to breathe. He Tinglan held his hand firmly. "It's okay if you mess it up." And when he unexpectedly succeeded, He Tinglan could still joke gently, "Mess it up next time."
When he suffered the deepest and most painful episode of his illness, he wept, longing for a grave that could blot out the sky and shield him from everything. He Tinglan took off his warm suit jacket and gently draped it over him. "You just need a quiet corner."
But dreams always end, don't they?
Depression is the most terrifying demon in the world. The more Pei Sheng was loved, the more he feared that love wouldn't last, and the more cautiously he avoided it. He thought He Tinglan was so perfect he seemed unreal, and that this must be a beautiful dream before he completely lost his mind.
But then he heard He Tinglan offer the most moving confession in the world. "You think I'm perfect because I'm a coward. I made all the preparations I could before coming to you, because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to attract your attention. I'm cowardly, selfish, and greedy, and I want you to love every part of me."
