▷2003-2013
“Our names were carved side by side in the best of times. In that bizarre and dazzling decade of show business, we were the most vivid stroke of all.”
Please note:
1. There are no real-life inspirations. Please don't conflate this story with the real entertainment industry. The world of show business here is entirely imagined.
2. Some place names, song titles, and lyrics in the story are real, while others are fictional.
▷ About place names: They are mostly fictional. If any fictional place, city, or building resembles a real one, or if the customs and local scenery described resemble reality, please don't read into it. They are still unrelated to the real world.
▷ About song titles and lyrics: Some are fictional. Any real song titles or lyrics will be noted in the author's afterword, and there won't be many. [There is absolutely no intention to piggyback on anyone else's work. This is a tribute, and I have the utmost respect for the original singers, songwriters, and producers.]
3. A tragic ending, a painful romance, not a fairy tale.
