I Didn't Mean to Keep My Options Open Either [Entertainment Industry]

[After discussing it with my editor, I learned that this book can't be put behind a paywall because of its orientation and subject matter, so updates will be irregular. Thank you all for your support and for loving the story.]

Unofficial blurb:

Here's the thing.

My name is Shi Yang. I'm a singer. I grew up overseas, and when I returned to China at sixteen, a talent scout discovered me. I hit my peak as soon as I debuted, so despite my young age, I'm senior to just about everyone.

If nothing unexpected happened, I'd have continued smoothly down the path of a singing career. With my celebrity-family connections and my own talent, even if things went badly, I wouldn't have fallen far.

But something unexpected did happen.

Things started going off the rails when the master of on-set PUA, King of Sunglasses, asked me to make a friendly cameo in his new film.

I thought my screen debut would involve an improper age-gap ship with Tony Leung or Chang Chen, but Jun Ji-hyun and Jeon Do-yeon were there too.

Halfway through filming, I realized my character and Jun Ji-hyun's character had an ambiguous relationship and might even have a kissing scene.

Then, as we kept filming, senior Jeon Do-yeon commented on me: "That child is the kind of person who makes you want to dote on them."

As everyone knows, wanting to dote on someone is the beginning of love.

I didn't think I could handle the way senior Jeon Do-yeon looked at me, with the same deep affection she could show a telephone pole, so I ran off to Seoul to attend an awards ceremony.

That was the second bad decision I made.

The young singers there clearly knew my name. After all, my aunt was once a sensation across Asia and hailed as a once-in-a-generation talent. I'm the next generation's star. I may be a little cocky, but I really do have a place in the music industry.

The young, beautiful juniors had clearly heard my songs. They kept calling me "senior," and I was loving it.

That was the third bad decision I made. I shouldn't have let it go to my head.

By the time I realized what was happening, the internet was already full of ships involving me and the people I'd gotten tangled up with.

[Just a little taste of the shameless Zheng Xiujing x Shi Yang ship.]

[I'm dying. Kim Tae-ri to men: Sit down, please! To Shi Yang: Beautiful, come cuddle!]

[Is it just me, or does Kim Jisoo look at Shi Yang with such deep affection?]

[Incredible, are all the actors and idols in South Korea fish in Shi Yang's pond?!]

[Good news: Shi Yang has yet another dating rumor, this time with...]

I closed the webpage, feeling sheepish.

This time, it really wasn't my fault. The women just love me too much.

I don't want to be a player either!

I can't come up with a proper blurb.

Although this is real-person RPS, it has nothing to do with the real people.

The female lead comes from a successful celebrity family spanning Hong Kong, Taiwan, and mainland China.

A wild, over-the-top harem romance with a powerful golden finger.

I can write female actors and idols too. Feel free to recommend some in the comments (x

I only recently got into K-pop, so I'll learn as I write.

I'll decide on the ships later.
