On camera, her life is a vlog that racks up likes from countless viewers. Off camera, every second is part of a carefully staged "Truman Show."
Jiang Ning, a small-time influencer, had always dreamed of becoming famous, until she really did "go viral," in a way she had never imagined. While editing a video late one night, she was horrified to discover the same strange man's figure lurking in the background of every episode. Cafes, subway stations, night markets... He followed her like a shadow, silently recording, yet never entering her life.
At first, it was a chilling feeling of being watched. Then came the sound of real footsteps in an alley late at night. The moment she zoomed in and saw the camera in his hand, Jiang Ning finally understood: all her "moments of everyday life" had long since become a "series" that people paid to watch.
Summoning the greatest courage of her life, she set out to track down the eyes watching her, only to stumble into a dark organization called Star Curtain. They selected girls like her, secretly filmed them, engineered conflicts, and wrote scripts, turning real lives into bloody, thrilling reality shows just to indulge viewers on the dark web and wring every last bit of traffic from them.
Would she go along with this "script for fame" staged with her life, or risk being killed off by the plot and strike back at the director behind the scenes? With the final "death script" already written for her, Jiang Ning faced the camera and forced a smile even uglier than a sob:
"Dear viewers, welcome to my livestream. Today's show is... hunting the director."
This time, she would edit her own life.
