Hai Tang stood in front of the mirror, meticulously adjusting her clothes.
The scene from a month ago was still vivid in her mind.
The director's harsh criticisms and the whispers of the crew felt like needles piercing her nerves.
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm the turmoil within her, forcing herself to forget those humiliating moments.
For three years, she had lived under the control of her boyfriend, Jing Yu. Her career had stagnated, and she could only take on insignificant roles, like a bird with broken wings flapping helplessly in a confined space.
Jing Yu was a wealthy second-generation star with considerable influence in the entertainment industry. On the surface, he was gentle and caring, always asking about her well-being. However, his controlling nature was strong; he forbade her from accepting any roles with intimate scenes and restricted her interactions with other male actors.
He always claimed it was for her protection and for her future, but in reality, he simply wanted to satisfy his own desires, keeping her firmly in his grasp like a Golden Canary trapped in a gilded cage.
Hai Tang had tried to resist; she had attempted to break free from his control and pursue her own sky.
Yet, Jing Yu's sweet words, his promises, and the occasional glimpse of vulnerability always softened her heart. Time and again, she compromised and abandoned her dreams, like a moth drawn to a flame—knowing it was a pitfall but still rushing in without hesitation.
She knew she shouldn't be this way; she should have her own career and life. But she couldn't control her emotions; it felt as if she were enchanted, deeply trapped with no way out.
"Ding dong—" The notification sound from her phone interrupted her thoughts. She picked it up and glanced at the message; it was a reminder from the production team about tomorrow's recording for the variety show.
This show was an opportunity she had fought hard to secure, the only hope for escaping Jing Yu's control. She had to seize it tightly.
She must grasp this chance to prove her abilities, to win more opportunities, to ultimately realize her dreams, and finally break free from Jing Yu's grasp to attain true freedom.
The next day, Hai Tang arrived early at the recording studio.
Today's guests, in addition to her, included the popular star Yu Baixue and several other well-known figures from the entertainment industry. They all looked glamorous, chatting and laughing with ease.
Yu Baixue, a woman who possessed both beauty and talent, was the darling of the entertainment world and the goddess in the hearts of countless men. Her every gesture radiated an enchanting charm.
Recently, rumors about her and Jing Yu had been swirling wildly, dominating the headlines of major entertainment media outlets. Speculations and gossip were rampant.
Hai Tang had seen these news articles but chose to trust Jing Yu's feelings for her, believing he would not betray her, so she did not take the rumors to heart.
However, during the recording of the show, an unexpected event occurred that shattered her trust in Jing Yu and unveiled Yu Baixue's hypocritical facade, revealing the harsh reality.
In the program, Yu Baixue drew a task that required her to "invite a friend to dinner." The comments section exploded with excitement as viewers speculated about whom she would invite, with guesses and messages flying like snowflakes.
"It must be Jing Yu! Their recent rumors have been so hot; it has to be true!" someone confidently declared.
"I think it's definitely Jing Yu; they are simply a match made in heaven!" another person chimed in.
"Can't wait for Jing Yu to show up! I really want to see them flaunt their love!" someone excitedly shouted.
Watching the comments flood in, Hai Tang felt a sense of unease creeping into her heart, a foreboding feeling that weighed heavily on her chest like a massive stone, making it hard for her to breathe.
At that moment, the production team played a VCR that reviewed the timeline of the rumors surrounding Yu Baixue and Jing Yu. It included their matching outfits and endorsements, seemingly hinting at an extraordinary relationship between them.
Hai Tang's face gradually turned pale, her palms began to sweat, and her anxiety intensified.
Suddenly, a photo appeared in the VCR—one that left her utterly shocked. The image struck her like a dagger, piercing her heart.
In the photo, Jing Yu stood alongside a woman, and the ring on the woman's hand was strikingly identical to the one she wore!
It was a unique diamond ring that Jing Yu had given her as a birthday gift, symbolizing their love. Now, it adorned another woman's hand. How could she possibly accept this?
Hai Tang's breathing became rapid, her heart pounding violently in her chest as if it were trying to break free from her throat. A wave of betrayal washed over her.
She couldn't believe her eyes, nor could she fathom that Jing Yu would betray her.
