After a Has-Been Star Joined a Live Variety Show

When a nobody joins a live-streamed variety show

I’m an obscure performer, an eighteenth-tier celebrity nobody online has ever heard of.

A love story gave me a brief moment in the spotlight.

I was invited to join a variety show, where I met the nation’s sweetheart, a pure and lovely rising star.

The show switched from prerecorded to live, and by the time it ended, our standings were worlds apart.
