Who Says a Sidekick Can't Be the Lead? Plot:

Lin Xiaochuan, a no-name assistant to A-list actor Gu Chengyu, has spent three years doing menial jobs—while secretly writing scripts. His dream isn’t to be a sidekick, but to stand in the spotlight as a leading man. When Gu turns down a low-budget indie drama, Xiaochuan musters the courage to audition, only to be mocked by the director: “A sidekick thinks he can play the lead?” To make matters worse, Gu takes the second male lead role for a pay cut, sabotaging Xiaochuan at every turn. But Xiaochuan refuses to back down: he pours his soul into the underdog character, making the director cry during a scene, and even Gu starts to notice him. Just as things are looking up, a rumor spreads online: “Lin Xiaochuan stole the lead role through connections,” with “proof” that he plagiarized the script. Will his three-year dream be crushed by the label “sidekick”?

Raised in the dormitory compound of an old steel mill, Lin Xiaoman’s childhood was marked by the smell of rust. She loved Chen Mo, her “white-shirt senior,” with all her heart for ten years—he’d protected her from bullies and promised to stay by her side as her father lay dying. But right after her father’s death, she uncovered Chen Mo’s secret: his love was a lie, driven solely by greed for her father’s factory equity.

Finally facing the truth, Xiaoman threw Chen Mo’s ring into the rusty wind and took Zhou Yan’s hand. This time, she didn’t want “perfect love”—she wanted “real warmth,” a flower blooming from the rust, just for herself.
