The Movie Star's Rose-Colored Days

(Third revision. The characters and story change a lot each time, so even if you've read an earlier version, you can still enjoy reading this one.)

In a nutshell: The story of Xie Yufan, an unlucky middle-aged man, meeting Qiu Yuan, an insecure and fragile singer, and the two of them cross-dressing and pretending to be each other's girlfriends...

Character profiles:

Qiu Yuan is one of the lead singers in the group Mr Sunday. He can't compete with the popular members in any respect, and is insecure and fragile. He likes cross-dressing to escape from his male self and wants to give up singing.

Xie Yufan used to be a top student in elementary school, but now he's a loser working part-time and preparing for graduate school exams at 26. He hopes to redeem himself through his own efforts.

Story:

After graduating, everything goes wrong for Xie Yufan. To keep preparing for graduate school, he has no choice but to work at a cafe in women's clothes, where he meets Qiu Yuan, a customer.

Although Qiu Yuan is a singer, mental health issues prevent him from attending concerts, and he's on the verge of terminating his contract.

The two have no connection at first. One day, unable to stand the taunts of a childhood friend, Xie Yufan claims that Qiu Yuan, dressed as a woman, is his girlfriend.

As luck would have it, a fan takes a candid photo when Qiu Yuan confesses to Xie Yufan, who is dressed as a woman.

The two are forced to gradually become part of each other's lives, changing them both.

This story is entirely fictional and has no connection to any people, things, or events in real life.

Although Qiu Yuan isn't based on anyone, since I previously wrote BTS fanfiction, the characters may be a little influenced by it. I no longer follow BTS.

Important notice:

Because the revised edition made unlocking chapters a hassle, I won't lock the 18 chapters from the second edition. Instead, I'll revise them. Until all 18 chapters are replaced, I'll mark the third-edition chapters with (Revised) to distinguish them.

Theme: Written for people who have failed or lost their way in society, to make life seem a little more fun.
