Plot Core: The Supermodel's Comeback and the Fishmonger’s Fate

Wang Zixuan plays Han Yijing, a former top supermodel who has been in obscurity for three years due to a car accident. Upon her return, she must overcome memory confusion and physical aftereffects while also facing the dual burdens of a breakup with her boyfriend and her father's controlling nature. Meanwhile, Tang Xiaotian portrays Jia Fan, a fishmonger who unexpectedly finds himself on the stage of the "Million Star" model selection contest, where his unique charm catches the eye of brand leader Han Jialing (played by Feng Bo). Under Han Yijing's strict guidance, he evolves from a "complete novice" to the focal point of fashion shows, and their rivalry blossoms into romance. However, the shadow of Jia Fan's hereditary eye disease puts both their careers and relationship to the test.

Depth of the Career Drama: Authentic Representation of the Fashion Industry

The series not only showcases the details of model training, brand planning, and crisis management at shows, but it also reveals the industry's hidden rules. For example, Han Yijing is forced to "trade favors" for resources, and Jia Fan faces skepticism about his professionalism due to his grassroots background, highlighting the complex ecology of fame and fortune. Director Sun Chengzhi uses visual storytelling to connect clothing details, stage lighting, and character psychological changes, such as switching between warm and cool tones to signify Han Yijing's emotional contrasts before and after her comeback.
