[Entertainment Industry] The All-Round Fan Site Manager You Can Trust!

[The new story teaser is at the end: "The Only Fujiang Lookalike in Chinese Entertainment, Yet Everyone's Favorite." Also recommending my friend's story, "I Toyed with an Innocent Little Spider and It Backfired," by Dairy Cow Beagle Cat]

Synopsis:

Jiang Tinghan is a professional fan-site photographer. She's been following idols for years, and her one true bias is G-Dragon. Though she privately tours after countless idols, she has only ever opened a fan site for Kwon Jiyong.

She waited for ages for her idol to finish his military service, only for him to settle into retirement. At last, Jiang Tinghan couldn't hold back any longer and threw herself into the arms of other oppas.

You ask where she gets the money?

Because she's the one and only Chinese money-devouring beast!~(￣▽￣~)~

In 2020, an account called "FrozenDiamond" appeared out of nowhere, immediately dropping an incredible photo of Wonwoo at the 2018 Dream Concert.

Black jacket, white shirt, black hair slightly damp from the drizzle, a fresh face, and long, alluring eyes. In an instant, countless Carats screamed.

Then a huge wave of old and new Seventeen photos came flooding in. The oppas shone brightly amid flames, torrential rain, and the dark of night, brimming with youthful spirit. They perfectly captured the feel of a passionate ensemble cast and transported fans back to the old days.

Carats: @FrozenDiamond! Who are you?!

@FrozenDiamond: Chinese.

Starting with SVT, Jiang Tinghan's tour list expanded endlessly, just like NCT.

The unnie never got involved in fan disputes. She just kept churning out photos, sometimes finishing edits and posting them as soon as an event ended. Fans called her "a high-quality fan-site photographer!" and "the perfect girl of the fan-site world!"

At first, fans of the different groups didn't realize that the same person was behind all these fan-site accounts. Then a fan who supported two groups posted a question:

[Who's this gorgeous black-haired beauty in a mask? She looks so familiar. I think I've seen her at concerts before, more than once, but today was my first time at a TXT concert?]

SEVENTEEN fan: [She seems to be our legendary fan-site photographer, "FrozenDiamond." She went to all seven music-show stages just to get an amazing fancam of all thirteen members. I still keep rewatching them.]

Stray Kids fan: [No, that's obviously our "Coolkids." The calendar merch she made sold out like crazy, and JYP even invited her to collaborate on a design. People with green eyes called her a sasaeng back then, but she only ever followed public schedules.]

TXT fan: [Huh? Isn't she the veteran fan-site photographer who's been with our group since debut, "CUTomorrow"? Ahhh, the fan-made freebies she creates are so pretty! She made hand-sewn plush charms for every member of TXT, and the members themselves loved them...]

ENHYPEN fan: [Wait, she looks like our fan-site photographer, "AbloodC," whose incredible photos got me into the group and who kindly replies to fans' private messages when they need to vent! C personally edited a teaser that was even better than the official one. Calling her a multitalented genius is no exaggeration!]

SM fan who came looking for gossip: [Isn't she the fan-site photographer who follows NCT and NCT Dream? Her photos are fast and gorgeous, and people often use them for comment moderation. Check out @AnywayThey'reAllNCTSoJustOneCategory.]

Netizens: "???!!!"

Fans compared notes and discovered that this woman followed groups under HYBE, JYP, and SM, and even showed up around Starship and WK1. Every group had a huge number of fans volunteering to be her support crew.

[Isn't it exhausting to keep up so many secret identities?!]

[Unnie, I truly worship you!]

[Could this be the fan-site world's very own person-with-no-clear-allegiance?]

[When unnie gives the word, the whole army really does mobilize!]

[Now that's a true K-pop star of destiny, a real K-pop earthquake!]

YG fans found out and wept: Are our BLACKPINK, MAMAMOO, and iKON not good enough for you?

The gossip-hungry netizens kept following the clues and actually spotted Jiang Tinghan in G-Dragon's 2017 documentary!

More fans joined the fray: [Isn't this GD's big fan-site photographer, Coldragon?!]

The netizens suddenly understood: So an ancient true god has risen from the dead! No wonder she doesn't follow YG artists. She must be afraid of running into her ex-husband~

Kwon Jiyong himself, who had already successfully made her fall for him: Hey, hey, hey, I've already won her over, okay?!

After their relationship was exposed, the idols Jiang Tinghan had followed in the past all had complicated feelings.

--"Question: What do you do when your biggest fan suddenly becomes your senior's girlfriend? Help!"

*

The first time Kwon Jiyong saw Jiang Tinghan outside of a camera lens was in a small, independent coffee shop. She had on a PMO hat and a daisy crossbody bag with a missing petal. She was clearly a GD fan.

His bodyguard went over to ask her something. The girl stood up, looking annoyed and sharp-eyed despite her pretty features. "I'm not going to be a trainee, I'm not giving you my number, and I don't want to make friends. Thanks."

Then she saw Kwon Jiyong and immediately turned sincere. "Is that GD oppa? It's okay if you don't make a comeback. Just get plenty of rest and be happy."

After leaving, Kwon Jiyong remembered that she was the fan-site photographer who'd come to see him offline many times. She was one of the few old fans he followed on Weibo.

He logged onto Weibo for the first time in ages and saw:

[@Coldragon (verified): Some sasaengs need to stop obsessing over whether I'll become your idol's sister-in-law. First, go make sure your oppas keep their lower halves in check. Second, I could swim from the Mariana Trench to Mount Everest and still wouldn't turn my passport blue, and your oppas aren't into panda-girl girlfriends. Third, if I'm going to be anyone's sister-in-law in this life, it'll only be G-Dragon's. Got it? (Visible only to mutual followers)]

Kwon Jiyong: Oh my, so when she said she didn't mind if I didn't make a comeback, it was because she'd gone to follow other men now. (*^-^*)

Bonus scene:

One day after they got together--

Jiyong: The letters you sent me are still at my house. I can't remember what you wrote. Why don't you find them and read one out loud...

Tinghan: ?! (Screaming silently in despair)

1. This is mostly about following boy groups, with the most focus on Seventeen since I know them best. I only recognize the faces of the other groups, so I'll do my best to learn more. There's a little mean-spirited humor, so read with caution.

2. The career and romance plots are still split fifty-fifty. It's a sweet, satisfying story, and the male lead isn't just a background character. He gets plenty of scenes.

3. Xiao Han is a wholehearted GD fan. When following other groups, she might be a visual fan, variety-show fan, or group fan, and so on. Basically, getting photos out matters more to her than her own life (not really).

4. Avoid this if you don't like stories where a fan becomes an idol's girlfriend.

5. Long-Han 5.0. In this story, Coldy may become Cold because YG is dead. The blurb was written on 2026.01.23 and may be changed at any time before the story begins.

Teaser for "The Only Fujiang Lookalike in Chinese Entertainment, Yet Everyone's Favorite":

Yu Xuefei is Chinese entertainment's most famous pretty face with no talent: vain, snobbish, appallingly bad at acting, and terribly pretentious. Yet she's wildly popular.

That's because she has a face of peerless beauty. Beauty alone may be a dead end, but Yu Xuefei is so stunning that the public is endlessly forgiving of her.

Yu Xuefei also often wins the public over with her "prophetic words."

She scolds a newcomer for acting so badly that even she could do better, and says the newcomer will remain a nobody forever. The following year, that newcomer becomes the youngest Best Actor in the history of the White Jade Awards.

She calls her assistant useless, saying he can't even handle the smallest task. After quitting, he starts his own company and becomes a hot new name in the tech industry. He even acquires the film company he used to work for, transforming into her boss.

She complains to someone that the director of her previous drama wouldn't let her add scenes and cut her screen time down to almost nothing. In the end, that drama becomes the director's highest-rated masterpiece, sweeping up international awards.

Even Yu Xuefei gets a little reflected glory. The original fox-spirit character she plays in the historical drama becomes her most iconic role. At last, her fans can proudly name a classic screen role when arguing with other fans, and more people learn about the Jin Dynasty, a period with few surviving records and countless mysteries.

Some viewers even say, "Even Crown Princess Fei doesn't seem out of place here. With just a few scenes, she actually made me feel like she can act! This director is terrifying!"

Everyone calls her "Chinese entertainment's Tomie," speculating about whether these powerful figures will seek revenge and blacklist her. They even ask Yu Xuefei to insult their own idols so those idols can soar to success. And yet Yu Xuefei not only survives in the entertainment industry, but takes her career to even greater heights!

Yu Xuefei goes from being a pretty-face supporting actress in a famous director's film to the lead in a role written especially for her. An award-winning actor is happy to take second billing, her company-owner boss invests heavily without regard for the budget and cares only about achieving the best results, and she stars in hit dramas one after another, each with a different subject. She wins every award from Most Popular Newcomer to Best Supporting Actress to Best Actress in film, leaving audiences dumbfounded.

You can do that?! She's gone from Crown Princess Fei to Crown Princess Royal! Do all you Xies have a bit of a masochistic streak or what?! (Pointing fingers)

Only Yu Xuefei knows what she's been through. She's so aggrieved she's about to cry with anger.

She called her coworker a terrible actor because they'd filmed the kissing scene over and over until he'd licked her lips swollen.

She called her assistant useless because he kept ignoring her requests to stay in shape, stuffing her with rich food and giant roast chickens until he turned her into a pig. Then she had no choice but to starve herself before joining the production, leaving her famished and gaunt.

She complained that the director wouldn't let her add scenes because the director started her off with difficult scenes and made her repeat them dozens, even hundreds, of times a day, leaving her no chance to slack off by counting to five...

And in the end, they twisted the truth and turned the blame back on her!

"Idiot, good-for-nothing, trash, pighead, ugly freak... I hate them so much. Just die!"

The three of them took turns coaxing her in gentle voices, as if Yu Xuefei had them completely spellbound. Yet their eyes were perfectly clear, with an unshakable obsession and possessiveness deep within.

This time, we won't let you go again, little fox.

*

In her previous life, Yu Xuefei was a little snow fox living in the Jin Dynasty. When she was young, she stole a roast chicken meant as an offering and nearly choked to death, but a little boy at a temple saved her and gave her a second chance at life.

Later, she learned that the boy was a prince from the imperial palace. Once she could transform into human form, she decided to repay him and traveled a thousand miles to the palace.

In the third year of Shengyuan, the emperor was critically ill. The court was in turmoil, with a storm clearly brewing.

Although the crown prince, Xie Minghui, had already been appointed, he was beyond reproach as heir. His political achievements were outstanding, and the court supported him. But two other princes also coveted the throne and wielded considerable influence: the Fourth Prince, Xie Wuyin, whose backing came from the powerful clans led by the Yang family, the Consort's birth family, and who was also the old emperor's most beloved son; and the Ninth Prince, Xie Qiulang, the youngest, yet already a veteran of many battles with numerous military honors.

A fox accidentally entered their lives at that very moment.

Looking at Xie Minghui's features, so similar to those of the boy she once knew, Yu Xuefei firmly believed that he was her benefactor.

Oh, her benefactor is so pitiful! He's the Empress's legitimate son, and the throne should rightfully be his, yet his emperor father doesn't love him, and his younger brothers are trying every which way to harm him...

"I've got it, benefactor! I'll seduce your two younger brothers and make them give up fighting for the throne!"

Xie Minghui cruelly rejected her genius plan, but she paid lip service to him and did whatever she wanted. The moment she saw Xie Wuyin, she froze again.

Why does this man look exactly like my childhood benefactor, as if they were cut from the same mold?!

///

Xie Wuyin was not favored as a child and was once sent to a quiet temple far from the capital, where he lived in conditions worse than the Cold Palace. Then the Consort discovered she could not have children and took him in as her adopted son.

But as the years passed, his time doing penance at the temple became his sweetest memory. He had raised a little fox, beautiful and fluffy, with a huge bushy tail.

But he had left in too much of a hurry to take the fox with him. When he returned, the fox was gone.

He thought he'd never have a chance to see his fox again. He never expected heaven to grant him a reunion. But why did his fox now bear his eldest brother's mark?

///

Xie Qiulang heard that the Crown Prince was keeping a beauty hidden away. His eldest brother was soon to marry the daughter of a founding hero, and finding this beauty would be like cutting off one of the Crown Prince's arms.

He did find the beauty hidden away, but he never expected Yu Xuefei to be involved with both the Crown Prince and his Fourth Brother.

Looking at the beauty, whose white robes were as pure as snow and whose appearance was like fine jade, he couldn't help licking his lips.

What was he supposed to do? He wanted to make this fox his own, too.

In the fifth year of Shengyuan, the emperor officially passed away, and the battle for the throne began.

Yu Xuefei was caught between two choices. All three men were her good friends, and each had done her a kindness. Which benefactor should she choose?

Perhaps her fickle way of acting had angered them. All three spoke cruelly to her and drove her out of the capital.

In the spring of the sixth year of Shengyuan, a sudden blizzard swept across the land.

When the three men reached the remote border town, all they saw was an unmarked tombstone standing in the snow.

Historical records say that the Crown Prince, Xie Minghui, won the battle for the throne and changed the era name to Yufei. Though he never married, he often claimed to already have a Crown Princess, for reasons no one knew.

After losing the struggle for the throne, the Fourth Prince vanished without a trace. Some said he became a monk, while others said the Crown Prince had him secretly killed. The Ninth Prince became the most renowned general of the Yufei era.

Every spring during the Yufei era, the emperor and the general would disappear for a while. No one knew why they traveled or where they went.

Only the plain, unmarked tombstone would always have a few piping-hot roast chickens in front of it.
