Jin Youzhen wakes up one day to find that she has gone from being an overworked office worker in China in 2025 to a 2011 chaebol heiress of mixed Chinese and Korean heritage.
The good news: No one in this timeline has ever written the hit drama scripts in her head.
The bad news: First, she has to take the college entrance exams.
From The Heirs to My Love from the Star, then Squid Game and all the other global phenomena that followed, Jin Youzhen takes the Korean drama industry by storm with a head full of scripts, becoming a renowned award-winning screenwriter at a young age.
Her career is going swimmingly, and she is clear-eyed about romance too: It’s fine to be a fan, but you mustn’t pursue the person you admire. Especially Kwon Ji Yong, her longtime idol from her previous life, the dazzling star onstage who is only meant to be admired from afar.
Getting close to him? That would only lead to trouble.
Until one late night, she finds a cat downstairs in her apartment complex, and, along with it, a neighbor.
That neighbor is Kwon Ji Yong.
From then on, the legendary genius musician, aloof and seemingly impossible to approach, starts “making himself at home” in her place.
He knocks on her door every morning to collect pear juice; refuses to leave on rainy days; and sends her voice messages late at night: “It’s nothing, I just wanted to hear your voice.”
Hugging a cushion as she reviews the situation late into the night, Jin Youzhen feels more and more that something is off. Wait a second... I’m supposed to be a fan of his work!
Also known as: “I Was Supposed to Be a Fan of His Work, So How Did I Become His Wife?” and “I Became Famous for Writing Scripts After Entering the Korean Entertainment Industry”

I think Superstar Quan will hurt the female lead, so just change her to a male lead.
Haha brother has been giving her likes a lot lately [laughing and crying] I don't know if it's a random thing.
Something is wrong [dog head], does my sister want to have a first love before becoming a sister-in-law? That's good, otherwise if you have 0 love experience, you will be played by Oppa [bad laugh] (from a practical point of view, it can also avoid Brother Long's non-empty period [lie down])
Find a handsome [shy] guy with good acting skills.
Actually, I don't quite understand why that guy still has fans trying to whitewash him [changed][changed][changed]
"Cleared my throat and tried to save my respect..." This is a big bug for the author~

I finished reading it in one go, please stay tuned for more updates, it's so good and I love watching it [covering face and peeking]
Just because they fell in love and I couldn't stand that girl, I lost my fandom [laughing and crying]
Does the author want to change the male protagonist? [Poor] I still like Long Gedu [please] [please] [please]
After reading the comments, it's understandable that the heroine had a boyfriend before meeting Superstar Kwon. If I wrote about Lee Min Ho and the heroine, it would be better to simply change the male lead to Lee Min Ho.
