> Resumos de Hello, My Shining Lover
Shen Qiansha found herself swamped with scripts assigned by Song Zihao, who demanded she mark them all within a week, clearly intending to make her life difficult. Seeing her struggle, Si Da offered to help, admitting his real motive was a desire to read them. He reminisced about his days as an extra, secretly memorizing lines and dreaming of becoming a genuine actor, confessing his envy for actors like Song Zihao.
Shen Qiansha encouraged him to talk to Du Guruonan about his dream, but Si Da hesitated, not wanting to disappoint his agent, who had worked hard to establish him as a singer. Despite Si Da's reluctance, Shen Qiansha confronted Du Guruonan, advocating for Si Da's transition to acting. Du Guruonan, already aware of Si Da's aspirations, firmly rejected the idea, explaining that changing careers now would squander all his previous efforts and force him to start over.
She insisted her decisions were for Si Da's long-term benefit and based on market realities. Shen Qiansha accused Du Guruonan of crushing Si Da's dreams and being a selfish, incompetent agent who failed to understand her artist's true desires. Unfazed, Du Guruonan reiterated that the market, not personal feelings, dictates career paths, and ended the discussion abruptly. Later, Tong Tong approached an upset Shen Qiansha, feigning sympathy.
Tong Tong revealed that Ruiqi Group was about to sign Si Da for a major endorsement. She explained that this lucrative contract would require extensive promotional tours, making an acting career incompatible with such demanding schedules. She insinuated that Du Guruonan, being profit-driven, would never risk this deal for Si Da's dream.
Tong Tong then slyly suggested that Shen Qiansha, whose father was Ruiqi's chairman, could call him to cancel the endorsement, thereby removing Du Guruonan's "excuse" to keep Si Da from acting. Shen Qiansha immediately recognized Tong Tong's ulterior motive: to clear the way for Song Zihao to secure the endorsement. However, after a brief pause, contemplating the benefit for Si Da's dream, Shen Qiansha picked up her phone to call her father.
Meanwhile, Du Guruonan visited Si Da in the practice room. She informed him that the Ruiqi contract had been finalized and he was officially becoming their spokesperson. Sensing his underlying sadness despite the good news, Du Guruonan acknowledged his suppressed desire to act. She explained that she understood his feelings but had chosen what she believed was an "easier path" for him, hoping he would understand the compromises between reality and ideals.
Si Da, feigning contentment, assured her that he had thought things through, dismissing acting as an impulsive and unrealistic dream. He declared that being a singer suited him better and promised to dedicate himself to his music, vowing not to disappoint her. Later, Zhao Yucheng picked up Du Guruonan, noticing her preoccupied demeanor despite the upcoming contract signing. She candidly asked him if Ruiqi would still sign Si Da if he transitioned to acting and committed to film productions.
Zhao Yucheng, speaking purely from a business standpoint, stated that such a career change at Si Da's current rising stage would cause his commercial value and public exposure to plummet. He firmly declared that he could not sacrifice the group's interests to gamble on an uncertain future. Du Guruonan confessed her internal conflict, torn between Si Da's dream and the practicalities of his career.
Zhao Yucheng advised her to act as a responsible agent, prioritizing the long-term plan over an artist's potentially fleeting whims, stressing that artist management is a business driven by profit. He apologized for his directness, but Du Guruonan responded that well-intentioned words do not always resonate with what one truly needs to hear. Declining his dinner invitation, she asked to be driven to a boxing gym, seeking an outlet for her frustrations.
At the boxing gym, Du Guruonan coincidentally encountered Ji Mo. They engaged in a competitive sparring session, which ended with them falling to the ground, Du Guruonan having tricked Ji Mo and sprained his hand. As she prepared to leave, Ji Mo, sensing her continued distress, invited her to dinner. Though she initially refused, she eventually joined him at a hotpot restaurant. Over their meal, Du Guruonan confided in Ji Mo about her dilemma regarding Si Da's acting dream.
She explained her guilt over persuading him to prioritize a stable singing career and compromise his passion, even though she believed it was for his benefit. Ji Mo reminded her of her own philosophy: that an agent is a "dream-weaver" and an artist's work needs a "soul." He challenged her, questioning whether she could truly be a dream-weaver if Si Da lost his soul by not pursuing his passion.
Despite Du Guruonan's concerns about Si Da losing visibility as an actor, Ji Mo confidently reassured her, asserting that there was nothing she, a "top-tier agent," couldn't accomplish. He lauded her ability to transform Si Da from a "blank slate" into a successful singer, implying that training an actor would be just as achievable. Du Guruonan admitted that his words deeply resonated, as she had already made up her mind but needed someone to push and encourage her.
Ji Mo then offered to always be her listener and support, telling her not to bear her burdens alone. Feeling understood and empowered, Du Guruonan declared him her listener, spiritual guide, and even her "punching bag," confident that with his unwavering support, she could overcome any challenge. The next day, at the highly anticipated contract signing with Zhao Yucheng, Du Guruonan dramatically interrupted the proceedings.
She announced that Si Da was officially transitioning to an actor and that Zhao Yucheng might need to reconsider the endorsement contract. Her boss attempted to mediate, but Zhao Yucheng, respecting Du Guruonan's decision, stated he would return to his company to discuss with the board before giving a final response. Her boss was enraged, accusing her of acting recklessly without company approval and jeopardizing a crucial high-end endorsement deal.
Du Guruonan stood firm, declaring that as Si Da's agent, she had to prioritize his dream, which she believed was more important than any profit or fame. She passionately argued that an artist's passion and original aspirations were paramount, even in a competitive industry. Her boss, furious, warned her against making reckless gambles, reminding her of artists like Song Zihao who forget their benefactors once famous.
After Du Guruonan pleaded for "one more chance" to be willful, her boss reluctantly conceded, emphasizing it was her "last chance." Si Da, who had overheard the entire heated conversation from outside, entered, deeply touched and apologetic for the trouble he had caused. Du Guruonan embraced him, recalling the "starlight" she saw in his eyes when he first spoke of acting.
She vowed never to let that "starlight be extinguished by reality," assuring him that starting over was "no big deal" as long as they had each other. Overwhelmed with emotion, Si Da tearfully hugged her, promising to dedicate himself fully to acting and not disappoint her, willing to endure any hardship with her support. Du Guruonan playfully teased him, telling him not to cry and jokingly asking him not to forget her once he became famous.
Concurrently, Zhao Yucheng received news that Wing Fashion had filed a lawsuit, accusing Ruiqi's new collection of plagiarism. He saw this as "good news," signifying Ji Mo's anticipated counterattack. His subordinate expressed concern over the new collection's mediocre sales and industry doubts regarding its originality, fearing significant corporate damage if plagiarism was confirmed.
To protect the company, Zhao Yucheng instructed his team to release a public statement blaming Zhang Le, who brought the designs to Ruiqi, for "privately stealing Wing Fashion's designs." He insisted the plagiarism was Zhang Le's individual act, and Ruiqi would deal with him severely. Zhao Yucheng justified this by stating that anyone who betrays for profit once will do so again and should not be kept.
When asked about further protective measures against Wing Fashion's "open opposition," Zhao Yucheng confidently replied that they were "already prepared." Later, Du Guruonan showed Si Da the online reactions to his career change. She asked if he had any regrets. Si Da replied that he didn't, admitting he had been scared before, but now felt an "unprecedented sense of security and fulfillment." He vowed never to give up, no matter the setbacks.
Du Guruonan was pleased, encouraging him to focus on becoming a proper actor and promising they would fight this battle brilliantly. Following this, Zhao Yucheng returned to Du Guruonan, this time with a revised endorsement contract for Si Da, specifically as an "actor." He offered it as the opportunity she had wanted. He apologized for his previous "unprofessional" behavior, admitting he had focused solely on profit.
He confided in her about his emotionally distant upbringing and how, despite appearing cold, he valued their relationship and didn't want any misunderstandings. He confessed his deep feelings, stating he signed the contract "precisely for her" and wanted to be "a person with warmth," willing to "lose control" and "abandon principles" for her, not just a businessman. Du Guruonan, however, respectfully declined to mix personal feelings with professional decisions, reiterating her commitment to Si Da's career.
During a photoshoot, Chen Fei'er's agent, Ai Li, received an urgent call: old photos of Chen Fei'er, showing her past obese appearance, had been leaked online, causing an uproar. Ji Mo, also present, saw the news and told Ai Li to take a distressed Chen Fei'er away while he handled the immediate situation. Ai Li drove Chen Fei'er home, but she refused to get out of the car, fearing reporters and public mockery.
Overcome with despair, she cried that no one would like her anymore because of her past. Ai Li passionately confessed his love for her, assuring her that true fans wouldn't care about old photos. He detailed his devotion, having liked and reposted all her news, kept her medical records, and watched all her shows, clapping and smiling through the screen.
He told her she was amazing and could overcome anything, reiterating that he didn't care about her past; he loved her and would love her past, always staying by her side. As he comforted her, Du Guruonan received a call from Ji Mo about Chen Fei'er's distress and rushed to her apartment. Arriving, she found Ai Li trying to get Chen Fei'er to open her locked door. Du Guruonan found a spare key.
Inside, Chen Fei'er was severely distraught, clutching her stomach before rushing to the bathroom to throw up. Du Guruonan comforted her, reminding her that she had faced many setbacks and everything passes. She encouraged Chen Fei'er to view this as the worst having already happened, so there was nothing left to fear. Despite the comfort, Chen Fei'er expressed deep despair, convinced that no one would ever hire her as a model again.
