[21+] Linghe had never thought loving someone could feel this heavy. In front of the cameras, under the polished glow of the industry, everything looked effortless. He loved Xiwei with a certainty that had never wavered, a quiet, unwavering devotion that asked for nothing in return. He had never doubted her, not once. But in a world where even standing beside her in public was forbidden, where their love had to exist in stolen moments and hidden glances, something began to crack. Because while he was forced to remain in the shadows, someone else was allowed to stand in the light. Ian Wu had admired Xiwei long before he ever worked with her--watched her from afar, drawn to her brilliance, her quiet strength, the way she carried herself as if she belonged to no one and nothing at all. Working alongside her had once felt like a distant dream. But dreams have a way of changing shape when they come true. What began as admiration slowly turned into something deeper. Something dangerous. The more time they spent together, the harder it became to ignore. Ian started noticing the little things-the way she laughed when she was tired, the small kindnesses she offered without thinking, the warmth she left behind without even trying. And somewhere along the way, admiration turned into something deeper. Something he couldn't quite name, but couldn't deny either. The worst part? He knew she wasn't his to have. Xiwei found herself caught in the middle of it all. Between a love that had always been hers, and a presence that refused to fade, no matter how hard she tried to keep things where they belonged. When the heart is pulled in two directions, which one truly feels like home? Because when love stops being simple, when it demands a choice--someone always ends up paying the price.
