After Refusing to Be a Stepping Stone, I Shine Alone Plot:

Lin Wan was the 'invisible support' behind CEO Gu Jingshen—for three years, she covered his love scandals, cleaned up his project messes, and even took the heat for his family's arranged marriage. That is, until she caught him holding a new lover and mocking: 'Lin Wan is just a stepping stone; discard her when done.' Realizing her sincerity was merely a tool to him, she handed over evidence of Gu's commercial fraud that night, pushing him into the public eye. She then took over her mother's niche beauty brand. When the once 'shadow' became a new favorite in the fashion industry, and when Gu begged for reconciliation with tears, Lin Wan stood on the award stage holding the 'Annual Emerging Designer' trophy and smiled: 'I was never anyone's stepping stone—I am my own light.'

Mist Over the Mountain Temple

Mist Over the Mountain Temple

In the late autumn of the 23rd year of the Republic of China, three mountain peddlers took shelter in a mountain temple halfway up the hill when a thick fog suddenly engulfed them. Midway through catching their breath, their companion Agui vanished into the fog out of thin air. The remaining two, Wang Shun and Li Zhu, were horrified to find unfamiliar small footprints on the altar's incense ash, and the temple door had been locked from the inside. Faint childlike whimpers drifted through the fog outside the window. When they overturned the stone statue, they found a half-bloodstained embroidered handkerchief behind it, with an identical pattern to their own traveling pouches — the handkerchief belonged to the opera actress who had gone missing in these mountains three days prior.
