After confessing the truth, He Zeqing felt an unfamiliar sense of lightness. For seven years, he had carried the weight of Su Yunting's sacrifice and the blame he silently accepted.
Now, with the truth revealed, he could finally breathe a little easier. Leaving Su Yunfei's house, his steps felt steadier, his heart freer.
Su Yunfei, though devastated by the revelations, took responsibility for his past actions. True to his word, he swiftly clarified publicly that he bore no ill will toward Wen Renyue.
His statement helped dispel any rumors tarnishing the small actor's name, restoring Wen Renyue's reputation and even earning him sympathy for being caught in a baseless controversy.
Meanwhile, Wen Renyue sat in his small apartment, anxiously staring at his phone. Days had passed since the audition, and despite the author's promise to help him secure the role, doubt clouded his thoughts.
