At the height of her fame, Sheng Zhaotang married Lu Zhi.
The heir to a fortune, handsome and devoted. He would wait for her on set until the early hours, and remembered even her most insignificant habits.
Everyone said she had married well.
Three years later, she brought her husband onto a reality show about divorce.
The viewers couldn't believe she would leave him. Neither could Lu Zhi.
Until, in front of the cameras, she said, "I'm the actress Sheng Zhaotang."
Only then did he realize it had been a long time since she'd introduced herself that way.

She made her comeback, starting with supporting roles.
Others waited for her to hit a wall and come crawling back, but she returned to the audience with one work after another.
It was then that she met Jiang Shiyue again.
Once her co-star, now a newly crowned Best Actor. When they were young, he had fallen for her, but on learning she had a boyfriend, he kept his feelings to himself and admired her from afar.
After all their twists and turns, they worked together again.
The director called, "Cut," but he couldn't tear his eyes away from her.
Later, many people waited to see whom she would choose.
Her ex-husband, who had finally learned to bend, or Jiang Shiyue, who had fallen for her all over again.
Sheng Zhaotang chose neither.
She still felt her heart stir, and she still found it hard to let go. But this time, she didn't turn down any scripts for anyone.
Wrap one project, join the next, and head to another city.
There were still so many roles she wanted to play, and a long road ahead of her.
