Burn Me Once I Shine Forever

Synopsis

Linda, a promising upcoming model, is cruelly framed by her adoptive sister Caroline, her own mother and fiancé Kenneth. Ahead of a modeling competition, they lock her in a burning house to ruin her looks so Caroline can steal the championship. They drug Linda to humiliate her in public at the victory celebration, making her lose control before reporters and live cameras. On their wedding day, Caroline sets fire to Linda’s room again and Kenneth locks her inside to let her burn.​ Rescued by her mentor, Linda undergoes eighteen painful skin graft surgeries and spends three years rebuilding herself. She returns as a top international supermodel walking global runways with her scars exposed. Meanwhile, Kenneth and her mother uncover Caroline’s dark secrets: she caused Linda’s father’s death out of revenge and lived a vicious criminal life. Drowning in remorse, Kenneth kills Caroline, surrenders to police and gets severe punishment; Linda’s mother commits suicide. Linda inherits the fortune, donates all money to help burn survivors, founds a charity foundation and lives freely for herself alone.
