Original subtitles

I kept it a secret from everyone.

Including you.

It's not because of my vanity.

But...

It's because of my inferiority.

In our lives...

parents, birth and blood ties,

these are things that we can't change.

But God is fair. The only thing we can do

is to make us stronger and stronger.

By then, people will only remember our names.

Not our family.

It doesn't work that way.

I've got an alcoholic, gambling father.

When people see me,

they will judge me differently.

Back then...

my neighbors used to call me the drunkard's daughter

behind my back

They even forbade their children

from playing with me.

They were afraid that I was a bad influence.

Back then, I cried in bed

and my mom found out.

She said, "It's okay."

"As long as you treat them nicely,

they will feel it."

I remember the Spring Festival that year.

Mom made a whole bowl of sweet dumplings.

She told me to take it over

and share it with the other kids.

It turned out that

their parents thought

I was going to borrow money from them.

They didn't even open their doors.

Stop crying.

Not long after I got into university,

Mom died.

My father left home too.

At the time,

I saw that other people's families were so happy.

I didn't want to become an outcast.

That's why I lied.

I can understand everything you've said.

So that's why

you decided to lie about your family.

I...

I just didn't want others to label me...

because of my family.

What I did...

Was it wrong?

I don't care what others may think.

What I'm really afraid is that...

you would resent me because of this.

After all, the rumors have spread everywhere.

They all know about my family.

Everyone says that

I abandoned my father because I resented him.

Don't be silly, okay?

Don't you think I know what kind of person you are?

If you were like that, would you have visited your father at the hospital today?

Being photographed by them only proves one thing,

that you can't let go of your feelings for him.

In fact, most of the time I'm conflicted.

It's not to say that I don't hate him at all.

Sometimes I even forget that I have a father like that.

But when he showed up again

suffering from cancer,

I can still remember that...

when I was little,

I had a happy family too.

All those memories are in this album.

When my father left home,

he took it all away.

So when I received this,

I knew that he had come back.

I'm sorry...

I lied to you.

How could I blame you?

I'm more worried about how you feel.

Since you can recall the good old times, you should be able to

more easily face what you have now.

Including your father.

Okay? I'm by your side. I'll handle those things for you.

It's strange.

How did they know that my dad was in hospital?

They waited for me at the hospital.

Who knew that you went to the hospital?

Wen Nuan.

But Wen Nuan's not that kind of person.

Yeah.

All right. These things...

I'll figure out later.

Get some rest.

And cheer up.

-Yi Xin. -Yi Xin.

-Yi Xin. -Yi Xin.

Stop here.

-Yi Xin. -Yi Xin.

-Yi Xin. -Yi Xin, how are you?

It's me.

Find someone to clear out the fans outside Yi Xin's place.

Yes, as soon as possible.

Let's go.

Yi Xin.

If you fall from heaven and into the dirt,

Zhan Nanxian and everyone else will betray you.

I'm the only one who wouldn't abandon you.

That's odd. All that happened yesterday, yet there isn't a single fan out there.

Miss, shall I open up the curtains?

Sure.

Miss, do you feel better?

Have some breakfast.

I think that

Nanxian arranged all of this.

He asked someone to clear out the fans.

Otherwise,

I wouldn't have been able to sleep.

Mr. Zhan is really sweet to you.

Lots of people on the internet are speaking badly of you.

They're saying Mr. Zhan is gonna change his mind.

Mr. Zhan actually really cares about you.

He not only saved you at the hospital,

but he's also really considerate.

Everyone has the right to talk.

You can't stop them from saying whatever they want.

But this time,

Nanxian is standing firmly at my side.

It's the best proof for our seven-year relationship.

Miss, isn't this that misfortune, blessing thingy?

What is it?

"Misfortune could be a blessing in disguise

or lurk beneath happiness."

Yes, that! Exactly.

Don't worry about those cynics out there.

Maybe Mr. Zhan will propose to you very soon.

Your wedding with Mr. Zhan

would to be super luxurious.

For a woman,

your future family

is much more important than the family you're from.

After you and Mr. Zhan get married,

the guys mocking you out there will find out how wrong they were.

If a woman wants to really hold onto a man,

you can't just rely on sympathy.

You have to be as competent as him.

Miss, until this news goes quiet,

do you want to take a short break?

To avoid facing the rumors out there.

At time like this,

I should be even bolder.

We're filming this one today.

Morning.

These guys are so lame.

Before, they would suck up to you.

It's totally different now.

Their faces change so quickly.

Is this your first day?

Why are you surprised?

I really can't believe Yi Xin.

Normally she's quite kind to us.

How can she be so cruel to her dad?

She left him there and told everyone that he moved abroad.

If you think about it, she's pathetic too. Her fake identity was exposed.

Tell me,

Zhan Nanxian doesn't care about it, but what about his family?

-Would they accept it? -Yes, exactly.

They're only gossiping.

Don't cause trouble.

Let's go put on your makeup.

Miss, Yi Xin is here. Hurry up and put her makeup on.

Yi Xin, how are you after what happened yesterday?

Filming comes first.

No matter what happens,

you can't delay your work.

Excuse me, Miss. Yi Xin.

Our schedule has changed. I need to put on Miss Lifan's makeup first.

What's wrong with you? Why didn't you tell us sooner that the schedule changed?

Piece of cake.

We can wait. Get me something to drink.

Keke?

How about you do Miss Yi Xin's makeup?

I don't know how to put on makeup. I have my own work to do.

It's fine.

You guys go ahead.

Yi Xin, have you seen today's script?

I have.

I meant the content of the script.

If you don't feel like filming it today,

take it up with the producer and director.

It seems that you still lack experience.

Every team is preparing the movie according to the schedule.

You can't just change it because I said so.

Besides...

I'm a good actress.

Don't you worry about me.

Miss Yi Xin.

You don't have to shoot the scene of "abandoning parents" today.

I just overheard that it was Lifan

who told the director to change this scene to today.

She wants to upset you.

I know.

We've got to film this scene sooner or later.

Don't worry. I'm fine.

I'm not that easily defeated.

Here.

NANXIAN

Nanxian.

Yes, I'm on set.

I'm about to film.

Why don't you get some more rest?

You're such a workaholic.

Don't worry, I'm fine.

We can't delay the crew's process

because of me. That's not professional.

Now...

if I can finish filming this scene smoothly,

I'll be happy enough.

Mr. Zhan, you'd better come to pick up Miss Yi Xin later. So that others...

What happened?

Nothing, Lele was talking gibberish.

Nanxian, you should get back to work. Bye.

Why don't you tell Mr. Zhan?

That drama just happened. You should take the opportunity and let him show he cares.

If I can't handle a minor issue like this one,

Nanxian will look down on me.

Do you understand?

Let's go.

I need to go out.

Call me if there's anything.

Got it, Mr. Zhan.

-Boss. -What's wrong?

I need to debrief you on a few overseas cooperation research projects.

How about this?

Have Wen Nuan outline the key points for me.

I need to leave.

Boss,

since yesterday, the news about you and Yi Xin is all over the news.

Now you're rushing out. Are you going after her?

How about this?

I'll tell you when I get back.

Wen Nuan.

Mr. Zhan.

I already handed in my resignation to the administration department.

I don't think it's appropriate for me to handle these confidential documents.

I haven't approved your resignation.

You're still a Shallow Cosmos employee. Do your duties.

Do I need to repeat myself?

Yes.

Thanks.

Boss, wait for me.

You're a moron. You don't even accept your own parents.

Do you know how much I had to pay to succeed?

No one knows.

They're obviously my burden.

But why...

Cut!

Yi Xin.

You were too rational just now.

Too cold.

You need to show the conflict in your heart.

Especially when she questioned you.

Those intense impulses from inside, you didn't show that.

I'm sorry, Director.

Let's do it again.

Okay. Do it again.

All crew members, get ready. Let's do it again.

-Okay, Director. -Okay, Director.

You're a moron.

You don't even accept your own parents.

Cut! It's not right.

-Lifan. -Yes.

There's no need to wipe it.

Actually, you misunderstood why your sister abandoned her parents.

Your emotion should be...

explosive.

You were too gentle.

You threw the water too slowly. Do you need an hour to throw it?

I'm sorry, Director.

I'm having some problems getting into character.

How about we take a break?

-I keep chucking water on Yi Xin. -Don't.

I'm a little embarrassed.

Yi Xin, what do you think?

Director, I suggest that...

we change from chucking water to slapping my face.

-What? -Miss.

This will make the conflict between the sisters more intense.

And it will force the character's feelings out of me too.

Yi Xin, why would you do this?

It's all for the sake of acting.

Okay.

Let's do it again.

Get ready, all crews.

-Again. -Okay, Director.

-Are you ready? -Ready.

Three, two, one, shoot!

You're a moron.

You don't even accept your own parents.

Do you know much I had to pay to succeed, do you?

They're obviously my burden.

Why are you dragging me into the mud?

Cut! Yi Xin, well played.

You really captured the character's personality.

Thank you.

Thanks, Director.

Yi Xin is really diligent at work.

That's some good work.

Yi Xin, you really acted well just now.

Even though we all know that you abandoned your real parents,

after seeing this scene, they might forgive you.

I was talking about the scene. No hard feelings.

It's lunch time.

Let's all go out for lunch. My treat.

-Hi, Director. -Hello.

Do I have the honor?

By the way, Director...

I wanted to ask if anyone in your crew

can change the schedule?

Is it hard to arrange?

Would you like me to

chat with your investors in person?

It's fine. We're all good.

-Are you sure? -I'm sure.

That's good.

Let's go.

What would you like to eat?

Anything.

SHANGHAI GENERAL HOSPITAL

Have you seen the posts on the internet?

I have. I was shocked.

This Yi Xin really is a piece of work.

I was on duty yesterday.

Hurry, tell me what I missed.

You don't know about this big news?

Yi Xin faked her identity.

She said her parents moved to America years ago.

Truth is, she resents her dad because he's unpromising.

What are you talking about?

Yi Xin's not like that, you know.

What you said about her is wrong.

Let me tell you.

Yi Xin's been a good kid ever since she was little.

You know,

if you want to blame someone,

you should blame me, her father.

When Yi Xin was a kid and needed her father the most,

I abandoned her and left home.

Now she doesn't want me as her father.

I totally understand. I...

I've got late-stage cancer.

That's why I asked Yi Xin's good friend Wen Nuan to pass on the message.

You know what?

Yi Xin visits me at the hospital.

-Being her father, I already... -Sir, calm down.

I'm already grateful. So...

whatever my daughter wants me to do,

I would do it for her now.

Never say things like that again.

Stop saying things about her that are wrong, okay? I beg you.

Don't wrong her or discuss her anymore, okay?

Please. Thank you, all.

Hello, Mr. Pan. I sent my latest update. You want me to keep following him?

Okay.

I'll report in when there's anything new.

What does he really want?

I never expected him to give me anything.

I just want him to stop hindering me.

Is it too much to ask? I really hate him.

Okay, stop crying.

He only has good intentions.

Did it ever occur to you to come clean

so that the rumors would stop?

The truth?

I thought about it.

But I'm afraid that everybody

would think that I'm putting up a front.

Don't think that way.

You can tell everyone that you're not the perfect idol they imagined.

You did something wrong but you deserve to be forgiven.

I'll listen to you.

-It's okay. -Yes.

Media friends,

I invited you all here today

to clarify

the rumors on the internet

about my identity.

Miss Yi Xin,

regarding the online news about you faking your identity

and denying your biological father, are you saying these are all rumors?

I can't say it's all rumor.

Yi Xin must be lying to us.

We didn't expect you to be like this.

Yes, I lied.

My parents

never lived abroad.

Not long after I started university,

my mom died.

That's when...

my father left and never came back.

I don't want to make excuses.

But I had reasons

for hiding my identity.

Mr. Zhan, why did you ask Yi Xin

to confess everything at a press conference?

Then she can tell everybody the truth.

People would forgive her.

Before I went to junior high,

I too had a happy family.

My father worked hard.

Every time he got paid,

he would buy me lots of gifts.

My mom had smart hands.

Aside from making tables full of delicious food,

she would make lots of beautiful clothes for me.

Back then,

it was such a simple, warm, and happy family.

Every now and then, when I remember,

I feel satisfied.

Not long after I started junior high,

my father

became addicted to gambling.

He lost all of our money.

He's been depressed

ever since.

He was drunk all the time.

And my mom's health got worse and worse.

We needed money.

But at that time, my father not only didn't go out to work,

he made things worse.

He sold everything in our home and lost it all.

He even lost my scholarship.

After a while, Mom died.

I had a big argument with him.

And then he left

and never came back.

Everybody says that

I concealed my identity because I'm vain.

The truth is,

what I really want

is a complete and happy family.

It doesn't matter

what their social status is,

or how wealthy they are.

Because when I began,

I didn't rely on my family.

I had nothing when I started.

Up until now, I relied on myself,

on my hard work, to get what I have today.

When my father came back into my life,

I really didn't want to see him.

Because no matter what, he's the reason why

Mom is gone.

INSIGHT OF CELEBRITY YI XIN ON FAKING HER IDENTITY

But he's sick.

How can I leave him now?

After all,

he was once the father I used to love.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I apologize to all the fans who have always supported me.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

I never thought that Yi Xin being honest would make everyone forgive her.

That's great.

Miss Yi Xin.

Anything else you'd like to tell the audience?

Fortunately, there's someone who never abandoned me.

Enough. This is bullshit.

Even lying can be justified. That's...

Why are you mad?

You'll get more wrinkles if you're always mad.

On the other hand,

the lies she told the public are justifiable.

That is correct, but she's...

Sis, I want to go to the gym.

It's too late. Don't go.

The membership card you gave me is about to expire. It would be a waste.

Wait for me. I'll go change and join you.

Don't worry. You just got back. You must be exhausted.

I'll go on my own.

Nuan.

Linlu. I need to tell you something.

Miss Yi Xin, is there anything else you'd like to tell the audience?

Fortunately, there's someone

who never abandoned me.

Hello?

Hello, Nuan.

Are you at the gym?

-How did you know? -I guessed.

I'm on my way to the gym. I'll see you in a bit.

-See you soon. -Okay, bye.

-You're here. -Yep.

I've had too many parties lately. I've been drinking too much.

I feel overweight now. Need to lose some weight.

You should drink less. It's not good for your health.

Yeah, I know.

By the way...

last time we went to your place for dinner...

You know what my parents are like.

They really like to joke.

"Like father, like son," that's what my family is like.

Come to think about it,

you should visit them more often when you're free.

Every time you visit them, the food gets better.

I'll be embarrassed if I always eat at your house.

But...

if you really want your mom to be happy,

you should bring your girlfriend home to meet them.

I've got so many girlfriends. Which one should I take home?

I don't wanna hurt anyone's feelings.

Always joking around. Nothing serious.

Okay, I'll talk seriously.

Here, swing your arms.

Swing them.

Watch your pace.

Watch your breath. Big steps.

That's right. Jog like that.

You won't feel tired and you won't gasp for breath.

Sounds like you're the one who can't catch his breath.

You mean me?

Really? Me gasping?

I feel like I'm on the right pace.

Last time we went jogging,

who was the one that gave up halfway?

What?

Sounds like you want a challenge.

You don't believe me?

Okay, that's fine. Come, come.

Over here.

Four kilos.

Twenty kilos.

Your potential

is really amazing.

If I can make you smile,

then my potential

would mean something.

That was close. Take care.

This Wen Nuan surprises me every time.

Yeah, I never knew she was that kind of person.

Ever since that Du Xintong incident,

-I've changed my mind about her. -Don't judge a book by its cover.
