I only did it to get into character faster. You taught me to immerse myself in a role, remember?” Jian Nan: “Sorry. I took it seriously.” Note: This is a world where most dramas are danmei adaptations. There was no wait for a danmei version of Produce 101, so I decided to write a story set in a world where the danmei adaptations have already taken over.
