Book blurb:
[Early Mary Sue throwback]
Radio host vs. voice-obsessed movie star
"I fell in love with your voice at first listen."
No one would have guessed that Nan Cheng, winner of Best Actor at the recently concluded 28th Golden Phoenix Awards and a newly crowned movie star, was a voice enthusiast.
His Pumpkin Seeds never imagined that their idol would check in under every Weibo post by a certain little-known radio host.
"Your voice is a piece of candy, sweetening my heart."
The lyrics quoted in Chapter 2 are from Mayday's "Tenderness" (credited in the story).
This story is dedicated to a dear friend ≥﹏≤ and to every girl who keeps chasing her dreams and moving forward ^ω^
May you all find happiness.

"Beauty Is No Excuse for Bad Behavior [Entertainment Industry]"
At the end of the year, a wave of new CP fans suddenly rose in the fandom.
They shipped what was said to be the most unlikely couple in showbiz: the Bickering Couple.
It all started when a video app invited two stars, Ming Yue and Jiang Jia, to its year-end awards show.
One wore a starry blue dress, flicking back her hair, lowering her head, then glancing up.
The other wore a gray plaid suit, turning his head and smiling with irresistible charm.
They exchanged a few simple words, with no other interaction.
But just standing there together made for a dazzling display of beauty in the entertainment industry!

After freshman military training ended, a video of someone singing "Unity Is Strength" a cappella on the sports field spread all over Nan University BBS.
The low-resolution footage and military training uniform couldn't hide the beauty of the little songbird in the video.
And the little songbird's name was prominently listed in the program for Nan University's National Day gala. Her partner was a senior who was a music department prodigy.
Just as everyone watching the drama marveled at the little songbird's incredible luck, the senior was injured the day before the gala.
The performance was suddenly canceled, to everyone's dismay.
However...
They say that the engineering prodigy who had just won the National Scholarship was in the Youth League office at the time. He usually thought taking part in these activities was a waste of time, but, for once, he volunteered to take on the task.
[Everyone: Two male gods in a row as her partners? What kind of luck does Jiang Yao have?]
At the door of the Youth League office, Jiang Yao looked up and stared at the bright-eyed young man before her. She recalled the name their teacher had just called.
"Fang... Senior Jian?"
The next second, the sweet, harmless-looking girl narrowed her eyes slightly, lifted the corner of her mouth, and said with a half-smile,
"Xiao Fang, when did you change your name?"
Fang Jian's face darkened.

Recently, CCTV's music channel interviewed Jiang Yao, a singer who covered classic revolutionary songs.
Three years in the industry without a single scandal, no love songs or commercial endorsements, a clean background and a sweet disposition: she had long been hailed as the nation's sweetheart.
Until...
One day, a gossip account posted a video on Weibo:
Unfortunately, the footage was blurry. It showed only Jiang Yao, her figure graceful beneath a pure white gauzy dress, and a mysterious man in a suit seated at a grand piano.
When the song ended, the man, who had seemed so cool and aloof, stood up and reached out to touch Jiang Yao's hair.
[Everyone was furious: ???]
But in the next second, the little goddess smiled coyly, leaned forward, wrapped her arms around the man's neck, and kissed him outright.
[Everyone was stunned: !!!]
That night, the hashtag #JiangYao'sSweetImageHasShattered stayed at the top of the trending list, while haters celebrated in the comments.
Until...
A verified orange V account reposted the gossip account's video, with the caption:
It's me.
Jiang Yao, my fiancee.
Curious onlookers clicked through to the profile of this man called Fang Jian, then quietly left.
Weibo verification: Senior Engineer at the National Aerospace Research Institute.
