[Showbiz] Longing for a Sincere Confession Amid the Crowd

Dancer Jiang Xia choreographs for various boy and girl groups in South Korea. She's only interested in dancing and feels absolutely nothing for all the handsome men and beautiful women around her. Then one day, she suddenly notices that certain idols have begun to sparkle before her eyes!

Yes, they are literally sparkling!

She went to an eye doctor and a psychiatrist, and eventually concluded that there was nothing wrong with her. The world was the problem.

Then one day, she discovered that every sparkling idol, male or female, was madly in love with a female soloist known for her "divine beauty" but whose singing was a complete mess. She finally understood.

It turned out she had been living inside a romance-conquest game all along.

She wasn't the protagonist, nor was she someone the protagonist had to win over. She was just a sacrificial extra.

One day, when she happened to see a senior idol panic after confessing to the heroine, she felt sorry for him. Looks like the heroine has another conquest target now.

But the next second, that man turned his gaze on her and stared intently, asking, "What conquest target?"

At that moment, a mechanical System voice sounded in both their minds: "Idol Rescue Plan, begin."

"Have you heard? That senior idol has a new hobby: making friends!"

"I heard! And he only makes friends with single idols!"

"And! He doesn't care if they're men or women..."

"What's more, he always brings a girl along when he makes friends..."

The others looked shocked. "The entertainment industry... is a mess."

Later, everyone broke free of the plot. In a world where he had once confessed to the heroine every time they met, he sincerely confessed his love to Jiang Xia.

Two lonely souls were destined to meet. In a chaotic, crowded world, they wanted to confess their feelings sincerely.

A workaholic with a strong career drive who crushes her love-brain tendencies and breaks free of the plot on her own × a dancer who discovers she's in a Mary Sue conquest game and gleefully watches the drama unfold
