She Is One with the Light (Dual Female Leads)

The two are four years apart in age. Fu Qingyu is 27 and 169 cm tall. Lin An is 23 and 173 cm tall.

Dragging her suitcase, Lin An stood outside the Xingyao Advertising building. Twenty-three years of small-town life hadn't dimmed the light in her eyes. The bold concept she pitched during her interview won her a chance, and brought her face-to-face with Fu Qingyu, Xingyao's youngest creative director, a perfectionist who always buttoned her shirt right up to the top.

Lin An's arrival at the company was like a drop of water falling into hot oil. Her colleagues' whispers, the clients' critical eyes, and Fu Qingyu's gaze that seemed able to see through everything all made her feel as if she were walking on thin ice. Then, one late night working overtime, she saw that ever-straight back standing alone by the floor-to-ceiling windows, a glass of whiskey in hand reflecting the city lights. The next morning, a cup of honey pomelo tea appeared on Fu Qingyu's desk.

The cosmetics project became a turning point. When Lin An summoned the courage to pitch a completely different creative direction at a meeting, everyone expected the newcomer to be reprimanded. Instead, Fu Qingyu stood up and handed her the laser pointer. "Go on." At the celebration dinner after their pitch succeeded, a tipsy Lin An accidentally leaned against Fu Qingyu's shoulder. In that moment, she caught the faint scent of cedar on her.

Being forced to live together sent everything spinning out of control. The pipes burst in Lin An's rented apartment, and Fu Qingyu handed her the key to her own place with an expressionless face. Beneath the same roof, the two cautiously tested the waters: the extra fried egg at the breakfast table, the light left on in the living room when one returned from working late, and the phone call on a stormy night that ended with words left unsaid.

When Lin An finally worked up the courage to confess, Fu Qingyu backed away. Her parents' opposition, workplace gossip, and malicious slander from a former assistant all put their relationship to the test. It wasn't until the company's annual gala, when Lin An sang the song "Courage" with a guitar in her arms, that Fu Qingyu understood: once you encounter a certain kind of starlight, it's hard to let go.

Two years later, in Country W, Fu Qingyu slipped a custom ring onto Lin An's finger at their wedding. The coordinates of the starry sky on the day they first met were engraved inside. "Thank you for teaching me," she whispered in her ear, "how to love."
