The whole world really did collapse!
As the president of top-tier star Tang Huai'an's fan club, Li Nanxing woke up and saw nothing but darkness. Not only had she been pulled into a TV drama, she'd become Du Ruo, a woman who was deeply in love with the character Shang Lu, played by her rival Mu Wangui.
Thirty-year-old Du Ruo was a sunny, cheerful civil servant who had worked in publicity for six years. Thirty-five-year-old Shang Lu was a top-tier star, dazzling in front of the camera but gloomy and taciturn in private.
Seeing the gloom etched between Shang Lu's brows, Li Nanxing felt a surge of professional concern that struck hard at her resolve.
"Mr. Shang Lu," she heard herself say, unable to stop, her voice warm and sunny, just like Du Ruo's. "You seem a little tired lately. Our publicity department cares a lot about the mental and physical well-being of people in the arts."
Li Nanxing's soul screamed: Shut up! He's our rival!
But Du Ruo's instincts urged her on: He needs help. It's your responsibility.
A ripple passed through Shang Lu's indifferent gaze as he silently studied her.
Li Nanxing fought desperately to regain control, trying to curse out her rival in her mind. But the thought that surfaced was: "He really does look so lonely when he's by himself..."
