Also known as: The Background NPC Charges into the Entertainment Industry, but the Big Shot Can Read Her Mind
(A super, super sweet romance set in the entertainment industry. This is my own take on the genre, so please don’t compare it to real life. None of the characters are based on real people.)
I thought I was just an ordinary person among the countless people in this vast world.
But you’re telling me this world is a mash-up of countless Mary Sue entertainment-industry novels!?!?
I only joined a girl group audition with my best friend to make up the numbers. We’d get free food and lodging for a month, plus a nice paycheck.
Then I suddenly realized what the plot of this world was. As an NPC with not a single line of plot, of course I’d watch the sweet, delicate heroine wield her System and take on the vicious villainess from up close, enjoying all the drama!
But what’s with this big shot who controls a business empire and is also the male lead? Why can he hear my thoughts?!
Please, big shot, don’t interfere with this NPC’s gossip. Pay more attention to your male lead relative instead!
Wait, what’s with this dark, brooding guy behind my best friend?
Wait, how has the whole plot gone off the rails!? I’m just a background NPC!
Content notes: There is a secondary couple. The protagonist isn’t perfect, and the heroine and her best friend have realistic values and ways of thinking. The story is all about an ordinary person charging into the entertainment industry.
Both leads are each other’s first and only partner. The main story is told in third person.
Main couple: cold, overprotective CEO with a fatherly air × unconventional, sweet but clueless heroine who loves to quip
Secondary couple: world-weary, brooding big shot × sunny, goofy woman with a villainess’s face
