Who Says a Sidekick Can't Be the Lead? Plot:

Lin Xiaochuan, a no-name assistant to A-list actor Gu Chengyu, has spent three years doing menial jobs—while secretly writing scripts. His dream isn’t to be a sidekick, but to stand in the spotlight as a leading man. When Gu turns down a low-budget indie drama, Xiaochuan musters the courage to audition, only to be mocked by the director: “A sidekick thinks he can play the lead?” To make matters worse, Gu takes the second male lead role for a pay cut, sabotaging Xiaochuan at every turn. But Xiaochuan refuses to back down: he pours his soul into the underdog character, making the director cry during a scene, and even Gu starts to notice him. Just as things are looking up, a rumor spreads online: “Lin Xiaochuan stole the lead role through connections,” with “proof” that he plagiarized the script. Will his three-year dream be crushed by the label “sidekick”?

The Vanishing Passenger

The Vanishing Passenger

Lin Xiaoman, a night-shift ride-hailing driver, patrols the road where her younger sister disappeared six months ago, clinging to any glimmer of hope. One dawn, she picks up a woman in a floral dress who stares at her phone screensaver—the photo of her sister—and murmurs, “I’ve seen the person you’re looking for.” But when they reach the destination, the passenger is gone, leaving only a pearl hairpin identical to her sister’s. The dashcam footage from that trip is nothing but static, and the platform has no record of the ride.

And she? She’s next on the list...
