(A mature, gentle, wise, nurturing second-generation female idol whose career takes off late x a romantic, passionate, immature, and unreliable superstar, Kwon)
Ten years after her debut, she was still so obscure she might as well have fallen through the floor. Liu Jinghe had grown from a young rookie idol into an older one, yet she could count her fans on both hands. When her contract ended, she felt a weight lift from her shoulders.
To celebrate her return to ordinary life, Liu Jinghe, who had been single since birth, decided to treat herself to a romance. Since she was painfully shy and slow to warm up to people, she chose to date online.
Everyone knows online dating is like opening a mystery box with a low chance of winning. But Liu Jinghe somehow struck gold. The boyfriend she'd randomly found was considerate, romantic, stylish, and loaded.
At her fan farewell event, Liu Jinghe told her fans she was in a relationship, then performed one last dance, full of hope for love and anticipation for her new life.
The next day, a blurry fan video shot at the event shot up the trending charts. Netizens were stunned by the elegant beauty with delicate features and a shapely figure.
"I need to know everything about this beauty in one minute!"
"Wife! I only had to look at her once to know she's the wife I've never met!"
"My goodness, she's the mommy fate has destined for me..."
What do you do when you become famous just as you're about to retire? Faced with a flock of hungry fans, Liu Jinghe was bewildered as she was forced back to work.
She clumsily put her heart into promoting herself, while calmly thinking she was probably just a brief flash in the pan and would soon fade into obscurity again.
But Liu Jinghe never expected that the more events she attended, the more famous she would become. A second-generation idol in her late twenties was somehow more popular than a bunch of younger girls. Well, this was unexpected...
As the female idol with the most fans who see her as a daughter, a little sister, a girl crush, or even a girlfriend, Liu Jinghe's fans thought their idol was a goddess who had descended to earth and had not a single flaw. Their only heartbreak as fans was her boyfriend, who had never shown his face in public.
"I'm so mad. If Mommy had become famous earlier, she wouldn't have decided to retire and start dating."
"Just thinking about that guy getting to eat the food Unnie makes and hug and kiss her makes me so jealous I can't stand it."
"If anyone dares to make Jinghe sad, I'll tear him limb from limb!!"
Since her fans were so hostile to her boyfriend, Liu Jinghe decided not to pretend everything was fine. Before meeting him in person, she warned him about the pressure he might face.
"It's okay. I can handle it."
Liu Jinghe felt reassured when she saw her boyfriend's message and happily went to meet him. But when the door opened, she saw the top-tier star and senior idol whose every dating rumor set off a storm and who had an enormous number of fangirls and self-insert fans.
Liu Jinghe: ...Is it too late to break up now?
Theme: Be the best idol.
