Background / History

Da Mimi is Shen Shanden's girlfriend at the beginning of the story. She lives closely alongside his early film-industry efforts while continuing her studies and rehearsing for her annual performance class at Beijing Film Academy 1.

When she discovers that Shen has concealed the hundred-million-yuan Brotherhood of Blades project, she investigates through Li Xiaowan, Zhou Qifeng, and other channels before confronting him. The dispute reveals both her insecurity and her strong desire for substantial film roles; after understanding the pressure surrounding Shen's project, she apologizes and agrees that they should support each other's rise in the industry 11.
