Once a top-tier star, Xi Xihan fell from grace overnight and vanished without a trace for five years.
Five years later, a man named Ji Shang began appearing backstage at performance venues, working as the most inconspicuous member of the crew.
But it all started when he casually offered a few words of advice to a minor celebrity who was about to leave the stage. Soon, an idol member with rock-bottom popularity, a tone-deaf vocalist, and a pretty starlet mired in scandals...
People the world had written off gradually gathered around him. They went from insignificant grains of sand to rising stars, brushing off the dust to reveal their true potential. A studio led by Ji Shang was established in their "dorm."
As they gradually gained a voice in the industry, the truth behind the disappearance of former top-tier star "Xi Xihan" also began to emerge.
The sharp-tongued CEO, whose attitude had been inexplicable from the start but who had helped Ji Shang more than once, was discovered after an accident to have an entire room at home piled with Xi Xihan CDs, posters, and photos.
Ji Shang: ...
Ling Shizhi: ...
Ji Shang: You bought them by accident?
Ling Shizhi: Actually...
Ji Shang: What do you mean?
Ling Shizhi: My mom is your fan.
Ji Shang turned around and pulled out a CD made out to Ling Shizhi.
It was signed in his own hand, ten years ago.
* Ling Shizhi x Ji Shang, a cold-faced, sharp-tongued CEO who is dominant in private x a former top-tier star
* Fictional setting, no real-life counterparts. An unconventional entertainment-industry story. No need to read too deeply into it or compare it to reality. At heart, it's a collecting-and-raising story. ()
* I'll build up a backlog before posting and try to update daily.
