He longs to become her muse, even if it means losing everything. People curse him, saying he's manipulative, that at eighteen he already knew how to seduce an innocent, naive artistic genius. A woman is a girl until the day she dies, and all the more so when she's such a pure, noble artist. How could she be wrong? It must all be his fault for seducing her!

Even the strongest man is just a little fanboy in front of his woman. When she holds a fan meeting, he buys hundreds of thousands of yuan worth of albums to enter the ticket lottery, then works out and gets cosmetic procedures before meeting her. When she joins a film crew, he earns a master's degree in nutrition and makes her a lovingly prepared lunch every day. Later, when she becomes a global sensation and a top-tier star, he feels even more inferior: He's just one insignificant fan among her hundreds of millions. [Reading Notes] This story is not about gender-swapping. All female characters are female in both body and mind, and all male characters are male in both body and mind. When you see the words “brave,” “resolute,” “calm,” or “composed,” which gender comes to mind? And when you see “gentle,” “attentive,” “patient,” or “sensitive,” what gender do you picture? But no human quality or personality trait has any gender attached to it. If you've instinctively assigned these traits a gender, that means your subconscious has been “shaped.” What this story, and the entire “Mirror” series, turns upside down is that external force that has “shaped” us.
