Background

Zhong Yunxiu is a Shanghai native who was nineteen and studying acting at Demon Capital Film Academy when she met Gao Jing. Dreaming of becoming a world-class superstar, she impulsively recruited him as a temporary male companion for a friend's birthday party after spotting him in Shanghai. 170 171

Boldly self-assured, she drove Gao Jing to the party in her Ferrari and initially accused him of swindling her cousin Su Yazhen in a jade deal. Gao Jing agreed to accompany her only after she offered to introduce him to prospective jade customers. 170

Her career accelerated after she starred in Meeting the Best Youth, a Spring Festival release that exceeded one billion yuan at the box office. She subsequently took the female lead in A Generation of Heroes, a production backed by her family. 301 432

While filming a dangerous explosion scene for A Generation of Heroes, Zhong Yunxiu refused a stunt double in hopes of earning director Wei Hongnian's recognition. The pyrotechnics detonated prematurely, severely burning the right side of her face and threatening both her identity and career. 301 303

Gao Jing secretly entered her hospital room and used a healing potion to restore her face while she was unconscious. Zhong Yunxiu awoke completely healed, publicly attributing the impossible recovery to “Buddha's blessing,” though she retained memories of a comforting, indistinct figure from her coma. 302 303 304

She gradually suspected Gao Jing was responsible for the miracle and confronted him after learning that he had used miraculous medicine to save Old Master Qin. Gao Jing eventually admitted that he had healed her. 324 429 430
