"Finding truth in fiction, illuminating oneself in the mirror - this is not our artistic concept, it is the way we love each other."
Wang Lujie "Perfect Idol" vs. Mu Zhicheng "Genius Actor"
In a parallel world where people are entertained to death, the identities of "actors" and "idols" are distinct, and each is trapped in an exquisite cage.
Wang Lujie, the "Siren Voice" of the top boy band Nebula, is a perfect work of art carefully crafted by capital.
At the age of eighteen, he is tired of a life where every smile must be calculated.
He longs for flaws, longs for a warm loss of control, even if the truth will only burn himself.
Mu Zhicheng, recognized as a genius by the Acting Department of Xingmang Academy, is a perfect example of an experiential actor.
But his performance was separated by a layer of ice - textbook-level precision, but cold and lukewarm.
No one knew that when he was clumsily imitating his idol's songs and dances in front of the mirror late at night, his eyes were burning with a desire for another kind of reality.
When academic talents are forced to join an idol boy band, the rigorous performance system collides fiercely with the assembly line industry——
He sees him as a nuisance that destroys perfection, he sees him as a vase lacking depth.
They search for reality in fictional stories and see each other on both sides of the mirror.
"If I were not the idol Wang Lujie, would you still look at me?"
"If I were not the actor Mu Zhicheng, would you still believe me?"
One sentence introduction:
When the perfect idol meets the frozen genius, they shake hands impromptu on the stage, breaking the mirror in reality.
Very delicate writing
