[Showbiz] The Road to Stardom

On September 23, 2020, the day Han Xizhen turned 30, a variety show took to the streets to ask passersby, "What does Han Xizhen mean to you?"

An elderly man with graying, patchy hair said, "An outstanding artist who makes the country proud."

A child in the middle of losing their baby teeth said, "I wish she were my mom."

Shy teenage boys horsing around in front of the camera said, "The most beautiful woman," "I want to marry her," "She's had plenty of romantic experience," and "She has a unique charm."

A confident university student clutching books in the library said, "She's the embodiment of an independent woman. She has the life I aspire to, a Back to Field kind of life."

A man in his thirties who disliked her sneered in his suit, "No matter how strong a woman is, she still has to return to the family. Han Xizhen is a woman too, and doesn't she like children? She should get married soon and stop opposing the anti-abortion bill."

A fanatical young fangirl complained, "Oppa is way too close to her. But if it's Han Xizhen, who could object? Back off, our Oppa! Han Xizhen, come for me instead!"

Han Xizhen, the most dazzling female star in Asia in the 21st century, has achievements that will be difficult to replicate. Beneath her brilliant glow lie her prestigious family, frail health, romance rumors that have drawn widespread attention, and an unmatched record of triumphs in her acting career.

A parallel-universe story, with some fictional characters and a real-world setting

A slow-burn, feel-good rise to becoming an award-winning actress

The more successful her career, the more tumultuous her love life

Beautiful, wealthy, and suffering from heart disease

Multiple boyfriends, but no one is a romantic candidate for readers to invest in

Her exes include G-Dragon, Chris Evans, Lee Soo Hyuk, and Gong Yoo

(Not for readers who want both leads to have no prior romantic history. No pointless arguments.)
