What if the person you only dared to love through a screen suddenly became the person reaching for you? He Simu never expected anything extraordinary from her ordinary life. At twenty-two, she spends her days helping at her family’s textile shop in Wenzhou, findings happiness in quiet evenings, familiar streets, and the little dreams she keeps mostly to herself. Then there is Li Xun. A celebrated actor. A face millions recognize. A man who exists behind cameras, flashing lights, and a world He Simu could only watch from a distance. He is her favorite actor. And, as far as she knows, she is just another face in the crowd. Until he notices her. One message becomes two. Two become late-night conversations. And somehow, the impossible distance between an ordinary girl and a man living beneath the spotlight begins to disappear. But Li Xun isn't supposed to fall for someone like her. And He Simu isn't supposed to believe that someone like him could truly choose her. Because behind every sweet message is a secret. Behind every smile is a fear. And behind the glittering world everyone envies is a love that could cost them both more than they ever imagined. When the world begins watching, will their love survive the distance between the girl behind the screen and the man everyone wants to see? Or will their beautiful beginning remain nothing more than a wishful thought? Some wishes are meant to stay dreams. But some find a way to become real.

Anya never expected that saving a dying stranger on a stormy night would become the beginning of the greatest danger of her life. She only saw a wounded man who needed help. She didn't know he was Nan Beichen—a man whose name alone could make powerful people lower their voices and his enemies tremble. A ruthless businessman who commands an empire hidden beneath the respectable world, Beichen is feared not because he seeks a title, but because his authority needs no introduction. Anya belongs to an entirely different world. Her life revolves around her grandmother, her work, and the simple warmth of home. She has no desire to become involved with a man surrounded by secrets, blood, and enemies. But fate has other plans. When her grandmother becomes caught in the crossfire of Beichen's enemies, Anya is pulled into his dangerous world. Beichen offers her protection, but his protection comes with a price—she must remain by his side. Anya refuses to bow to him. She doesn't care how powerful he is. She doesn't fear his reputation. And when his choices put the person she loves most in danger, she finally confronts him through tears and anger, telling him she regrets ever saving his life. For a man accustomed to obedience, her words should have meant nothing. Instead, they awaken something he thought he had buried long ago. As enemies close in and secrets surrounding Beichen begin to surface, Anya discovers that the monster everyone fears may be carrying wounds of his own. And Beichen discovers that the woman he cannot control has become the one person he cannot afford to lose. But when love becomes the greatest weakness in a world built on power and betrayal, protecting Anya may require Beichen to surrender the one thing he has never given .
