At twenty-three, Chen Ziqin won the Best Actress crown with the film "Color of Warmth," and suddenly became a rookie that every major entertainment company was scrambling to sign.
But then a scandalous video surfaced of Chen Ziqin as a punk girl in high school, exposing her for all to see. Invitations, endorsements, and gigs all vanished. The once red-hot rising star fell from the heights of fame, becoming a hot potato everyone wanted to avoid.
In desperation, Chen Ziqin had no choice but to accept someone's invitation.
In a dim private room, that person flung stacks of cash in Chen Ziqin's face.
"One hundred thousand per time. If you've made up your mind, you can sign now."
Chen Ziqin had signed that agreement six years ago, too.
Her employer had been Qian Ning.
Chen Ziqin loved money more than life, and Qian Ning had plenty of it. She wasn't afraid of Chen Ziqin spending money. She was afraid Chen Ziqin wouldn't spend hers.
In Qian Ning's mind, this twisted relationship would last a long time because Chen Ziqin was so obsessed with money.
Until one day, during a promotional livestream for a drama, Qian Ning rushed into the livestream without a care for her image.
"Chen Ziqin, it's been so long you've even forgotten who your sugar mommy is!"
Content warning, P.S.: 1. Chen Ziqin is just an ordinary non-mainstream punk girl. She never bullied anyone.
Also coming soon: "Rekindling Things with My Actress Ex-Wife After Losing My Memory," another showbiz rekindled-romance story. Please support it, thank you.

Five years ago, Ling Yuantong sued fans who shipped her with Hantao. The two stars fell out for good and successfully ended their partnership, each pursuing their own career.
Ling Yuantong's refusal to pander to shippers left her lukewarm and obscure, while Hantao steadily rose to stardom and won the Best Actress award.
The fans kept their shipping to themselves, and all three parties went their separate ways. Then Ling Yuantong fell from a harness while filming and slipped into a coma.
When she woke up, she pointed at the woman on her phone, who was exactly her type, and declared with an imposing, devilishly charismatic air, "Three minutes! I want this woman's complete profile! And most importantly, her WeChat!"
Her friend beside her nearly blacked out. "She's your ex-wife... the one you refused to pander to."
Ling Yuantong's eyes lit up. We were married! So she loved me!
Ling Yuantong figured that falling in love over time was hard, but rekindling an old flame was easy!
Amnesiac Ling Yuantong strutted around like a peacock, sending flowers, wine, and herself. Her ardor was even greater than it had been five years ago.
The CP fans went wild, waiting for Ling Yuantong's daily posts to give them something to ship.
Until Hantao posted:
[Some people and some things cannot be forgiven just because you've lost your memory.]
The CP fans commented and reposted: The lovebirds are rehashing old grievances under the covers!
Theme: Live life positively and keep striving!
Very nice, such a novel heroine design
[Covering face, laughing and crying] How can I go back in time to ask for help? I have to wait until tomorrow.
