A Decade on the Road to Stardom

At seventeen, she applied to more than a dozen dance schools across China and was rejected by every one. Heartbroken, she came across an audition in China for South Korea's S.M. Entertainment, recruiting trainees, and decided to give it one last try.

At eighteen, she left her homeland for a country where she spoke neither the language nor understood the culture, all to pursue a dream in her heart.

At twenty, after two years of grueling training, she was supposed to debut, but someone sabotaged her and took her place. She had no choice but to keep training.

At twenty-two, after four years of training, she finally debuted as a member of a girl group and began to realize her dream. But her path to stardom was far from smooth. The members schemed against one another, sisters turned against each other, and newcomers were bullied. The four members of 4ever persevered, step by step, until they finally made it.

At twenty-four, just as 4ever was beginning to taste fame, she was framed, abandoned by her company, and kicked out of the group.

At twenty-five, she had to start all over again: a new agency, a new path as an actress and singer, and a whole crowd of antis. The road was arduous, but fortunately, he was by her side.

At twenty-seven, her albums and starring roles became hits in South Korea, Japan, China, Thailand, and beyond. This young woman from China used her actions to compose a song of queenly triumph. Yet, standing at the highest awards ceremony, she said she had waited ten whole years for this day.

Mo Die's first contemporary novel tells the story of a Chinese girl fighting her way through the Korean entertainment industry. Thank you, everyone.
