An Shuyan worked as a social affairs reporter for five years, giving her all every day.
She could break into illegal brick kilns, infiltrate pyramid schemes, and charge into family feuds and mother-in-law battles with her microphone in hand.
After finally enduring long enough for her boss to get promoted, she thought she would be the next deputy editor of the city affairs section at XX Daily.
Instead, the boss's mistress parachuted in and took the job.
An old college roommate she hadn't seen in years sent her a message.
[Shuyan, become an entertainment reporter! My salary this month had XX digits. As long as you have no shame, you can make money. It's not even as dangerous as going into a brick kiln. Our industry may have a bad reputation, but shameless promotion pays well.]
An Shuyan, determined to keep her pride, immediately refused. The next day, though, the mistress sent her to the plateau to gather material.
A cold, altitude sickness, and allergies finished An Shuyan off.
As she lay dying, all she could think was: If only she'd known, she would have become an entertainment reporter too.
When she opened her eyes again, she was a Korean paparazzo.
A veteran handed her a camera.
“Go on, GD is inside. I hear he's bringing his girlfriend.”
“If we catch him, our XX studio will become famous. Don't you want to buy an apartment in Gangnam?”
She thought, I'm in!
A paparazzo who doesn't want to be an entertainment reporter isn't a good paparazzo.
The first time Kwon Jiyong saw An Shuyan, he was dressed all in black, sneaking toward the back door of a bar to smoke.
He was on a video call with Lee Soo Hyuk, gossiping.
Then someone grabbed him. “Hey, fellow reporter. Which paper are you with? Want to exchange KKT contacts and share tips in the future?”
Later, he fed An Shuyan an exclusive tip so she would stake him out.
But then...
[Oh my gosh, I actually caught a boy band!]
[Thank heaven and earth, and the dark, windy night that brought us together.]
[Did you know XX and XX are dating?]
Later still, An Shuyan handed a report to her boss.
The title was “Kwon Jiyong Has Fallen for Irresistible, Adorable Me.”
“An Shuyan, if you want to quit, write a resignation letter!”
