Bo Yan was taken aback after he finished speaking.
Originally, he never intended to step into the film industry. Even though he studied directing and film art for his master’s, it was rely a developntal path. His initial intention was to pursue academia, with directing just as a field of study, researching film language and culture. Even if he ventured into the entertainnt industry, he wanted to work behind the scenes. He wished to express, but not through personal performance, rather with full control, making actors and movies reflect his vision.
Later, when he t Xia Siyu and fell in love, only to be abandoned by her, he was upset but it didn’t alter his aspirations. However, when Xia Siyu suddenly shot to fa and acted like she didn’t know him when they t again, it spurred him.
When they agreed to marry, he had just finished his first film, yet to be released. But three years later, he also beca a top-tier star. Because he won an award, his position was more stable than hers. At that ti, in front of Xia Siyu, the familiar "senior" manner resurfaced. She needed a transformation while he was at his peak, slowly closing the distance between them through films and variety shows, drawing her closer.
Guiding and nurturing her acting skills was not only a ans to entice her but also a habit from being a ntor before. During this process, he gradually discovered her astounding potential. Although her acting wasn’t fully refined, with so details not well-understood or managed, her explosive power was excellent, especially in iconic scenes.

Their love years ago was led by Xia Siyu. Now, her acting was being polished. "Storm" was just the beginning; as long as she continued, there would be bigger stages, wider spaces for her to showcase.
And he, now beca the person supporting and nurturing her from behind, watching her shine brightly. He finally understood why Shang Feifei felt envious, jealous, yet powerless. So people are naturally talented, like jade, inherently varied. Hidden within stones, their brilliance masked. But if they et a sculptor, the jade concealed in stone can be brought forth.
Such talent, so people might labor intensely all their lives yet never reach this level—envy as they might, it’s unattainable.
Of course, without personal effort, relying solely on external forces is impossible. Xia Siyu had debuted eight years ago, struggled for eight years, although reaching the top due to her looks, to beco outstanding, continued research and learning were necessary.
Nonetheless, it seems, he wasn’t disappointed or jealous? In fact, he felt more like a star scout or a ntor. A good seedling ca into his hands, he nurtured it carefully and eventually it beca a renowned actor—nothing brings greater joy.
Of course, even better was that this person was his beloved.
"That’s right." Xia Siyu always enjoyed hearing complints. Those who didn’t know her thought she was arrogant, but actually she was just confident and outgoing. "You said I’m this beautiful and good at acting, simply perfect, right? Just too bad my taste in n..."
