> Resúmenes de Granting You a Dreamlike Life
Lin Qikai urgently called his father, Lin Daoshan, interrupting his scolding about Lin Qikai's absence from business. Lin Qikai announced that he had found Ruomeng, a matter he deemed more important than any business. Lin Daoshan was initially incredulous but became overjoyed upon confirmation, eager for his daughter to return home that very day. Upon Tianying's arrival with Lin Qikai, Lin Daoshan meticulously examined her.
He noted a resemblance to Anni in her eyes and eyebrows but remained skeptical, stating that mere appearance could be deceiving and fakes were not uncommon. Lin Qikai then urged Tianying to show her necklace to her father. Tianying confirmed she had possessed the necklace since childhood. Still, Lin Daoshan requested to see her ear. Discovering a distinct birthmark, he was overcome with emotion, finally confirming Tianying was his long-lost daughter, Lin Ruomeng.
He showed her old family photos, pointing out young Ruomeng, her mother Anni, and the very necklace Tianying now wore, emphasizing the birthmark he first saw at her birth. Tianying tearfully embraced her father, sharing that after recently losing her adoptive father and brother, she believed she had no family left, and expressed her gratitude for being reunited with her father and brother, vowing to be filial. Lin Daoshan, deeply moved, felt he could now face Anni.
The reunited family visited Anni's tomb. Tianying, now understanding Anni was her mother, tearfully asked why she had passed away so young. Lin Qikai promised to protect Ruomeng from any future harm. Lin Daoshan explained that Tianying's inability to recall past traumas was a form of divine protection, likely from Anni's spirit, allowing her to live a carefree and happy life. Later, Lin Daoshan proposed that Tianying move back home to accompany him.
Tianying respectfully declined, citing her demanding work schedule and irregular hours, fearing she would disrupt the household. She also assured him she had adequate protection and preferred her freedom, promising frequent visits instead. Lin Daoshan accepted her compromise, though he playfully warned he would personally bring her back if she didn't visit often. Luo Fusheng, while watering flowers, inquired if Tianying was moving back to the Lin family.
Tianying confirmed she had refused her father's request, explaining that she could not abandon Luo Fusheng, her true family, especially after they had vowed to stand by each other through all hardships. She reminded him that when she was Tianying, he, a prominent figure, stayed by her side, and now that she was Lin Ruomeng and he had sacrificed much for her, she would not leave him.
Tianying then jokingly invited Luo Fusheng, on behalf of "Miss Lin Ruomeng," to her upcoming celebration, stressing that he was instrumental in her finding her family and she wished to share the moment with him. However, Luo Fusheng respectfully declined, citing the ongoing tensions between the Hong and Lin families, fearing his presence would cause trouble for her father and overshadow her joyful reunion. Tianying tried to persuade him, but Luo Fusheng insisted on prioritizing her family's harmony.
Lin Daoshan hosted a grand celebration to mark the 10th anniversary of Lin Film Group and the public return of his daughter, Lin Ruomeng. Lin Qikai announced Tianying's true identity, highlighting her accomplishments as a rising star. Lin Daoshan expressed profound gratitude to Huang Xinghan for his mentorship and faith in Tianying's talent.
Huang Xinghan, in turn, credited Tianying's abilities and integrity, noting her decision to stay with Huaqing out of loyalty despite Lin Daoshan's attempts to bring her back to Lin Film Group. Both men agreed that with Ruomeng as a bond, their future collaborations would deepen. Xu Xingyuan and Xu Xingcheng attended the celebration. Xu Xingyuan greeted Tianying warmly, and Lin Qikai recalled their childhood playdates.
Xu Xingcheng, seeing Tianying's radiant transformation, approached her privately to congratulate her and remark on their shared "fate" as childhood friends. Tianying, however, sharply redirected his sentiment, stating her true "fate" was with Luo Fusheng. Xu Xingcheng attempted to disparage Luo Fusheng by noting Lin Daoshan's disapproval of him, but Tianying countered by reminding Xu Xingcheng that Luo Fusheng had risked everything to retrieve the necklace that proved her identity due to his obstruction.
She then challenged him to consider who would be the most popular person at the banquet if her father knew the truth. They later joined Lin Daoshan and Lin Qikai for a family photo. Meanwhile, Hong Lan, devastated by the revelation that Tianying was Lin Ruomeng, locked herself in her room, refusing food. Her father, Hong Zhengbao, concerned by her unusual behavior, tried to console her.
Hong Lan privately lamented her situation, realizing that both Luo Fusheng and Xu Xingcheng had always shown a preference for Tianying, and now even Lin Qikai, her closest ally, would become Tianying's brother. She felt utterly defeated and isolated, believing she had lost from the very beginning. Unaware of his daughter's deepest sorrows, including her recent coerced intimacy with Xu Xingcheng, Hong Zhengbao urged her to marry Xu Xingcheng quickly.
He believed this alliance would strengthen the Hong family and enable them to compete with the now-resurgent Lin family and their thriving film company, bolstered by Ruomeng's return. Hong Lan, unable to articulate her pain, cried silently in her father's arms. Huang Xinghan and the director offered Hong Lan the role of female second lead, starring opposite Tianying, in a significant Lin Film Group production.
Lin Qikai attempted to reject the offer on Hong Lan's behalf, stating she was preparing for a lead role in another film and shouldn't be undermined. However, Huang Xinghan emphasized the strategic importance of the project to the Lin family, clarifying that the Lin Group was fully backing it and, as a signed artist, Hong Lan was expected to participate.
Despite her inner turmoil, Hong Lan stepped in and accepted the role, aiming to ease Lin Qikai's burden and repay his past support. Lin Qikai expressed his sadness at her having to compromise, reaffirming that she was always the lead in his eyes.
Hong Lan, with a mix of defiance and resignation, voiced her doubts about adapting to a secondary role, hinting at her past struggles and her lack of experience with compromise, stating she wasn't sure if she could be competent in this position, lest she disappoint him. Lin Qikai, heartbroken by her veiled remarks, left. Tianying and Hong Lan began filming. During a pivotal scene where Tianying's character was meant to triumph over Hong Lan's, Tianying intentionally omitted a scheduled slap.
This deeply angered Hong Lan, who interpreted it as Tianying's pity. She confronted Tianying, accusing her of using compassion as a subtle form of punishment and asserting that Tianying, whether as Lin Ruomeng or Duan Tianying, had no right to pity her. Lin Qikai tried to intervene, suggesting Hong Lan was merely expressing her character's emotions.
However, Hong Lan expressed her frustration to Lin Qikai, explaining that while she could handle direct conflict, she felt powerless against Tianying's subtle approach, which constantly reminded her of her disadvantaged position and made her feel that she had lost from the beginning with no way to win.
Feeling trapped in an unwinnable battle for reputation, popularity, and family power in a competitive environment, Hong Lan declared her intention to quit the movie and terminate her contract, despite Lin Qikai's pleas. Later, Xu Xingcheng, suspicious of his father's clandestine movements, secretly followed Xu Ruian to a maximum-security prison cell. There, to his shock, he discovered his mother, whom he believed to be dead, alive but imprisoned and seemingly unwell.
He overheard his mother courageously confront Xu Ruian, accusing him of his sins and predicting his eventual damnation. Xu Ruian callously dismissed her warnings and then chillingly revealed his manipulative strategies: he had deliberately inflamed tensions between the Lin and Hong families, and Xu Xingcheng was astonished to learn that it was "he" who had murdered Anni, Lin Ruomeng's birth mother. This shocking confession, coupled with the discovery of his living mother's grim imprisonment, exposed the full extent of his father's profound wickedness and left Xu Xingcheng deeply shaken.
