A Land Where Only Love Remains [Book Transmigration]

[Blurb] CP: Ning Lian x Feng Lanyan, a melancholy, disillusioned ballet dancer x a sunny, cheerful top-tier star and singer. The supporting character transmigrates into a book, while the native protagonist turns around the effects brought by the transmigrator. One-on-one, both leads are chaste, switch roles, and rekindle their romance after a breakup. Happy ending. Told in two parts, this book is the prequel. For the main story, see "The Gods Forbid Them to Remarry."

No one knew that Ning Lian, the lead dancer of the famous duo "Kiss Away," and Feng Lanyan, its lead singer, had been dating since college.

And no one knew that Ning Lian came from a family of ballet dancers. At twelve or thirteen, she stunned the field with a single dance at the most prestigious competition in the industry. After she gave up ballet, a titan of the field lamented, "The swan is dead."

Everyone only knew that when the two made their debut together, it was Feng Lanyan's heavenly voice that caused a sensation.

Everyone also knew that Ning Lian, who had switched to street dance halfway through, was precise but lacked sensuality. When she danced in sync with Feng Lanyan, she was less captivating and explosive than Feng Lanyan, who often made mistakes in her moves.

With her hair dyed purple in a gradient, Feng Lanyan danced with her long tresses streaming as she swayed her waist. Her eyes sparkled, her energy overflowed, and she was youthful and fashionable.

Her clear, ringing voice and the vibrant life force that radiated from her made her the dream girl countless fans longed for.

Ning Lian, with her short hair, was far quieter. Like green leaves setting off a flower, she always danced silently behind Feng Lanyan.

Even when sweat soaked through her stage costume, she wouldn't bat an eyelid or pout to win favor during fan interactions.

"Ning Lian is always holding Lanlan back."

"If Ning Lian weren't around, Lanlan's fame could reach even greater heights."

Feng Lanyan's solo fans would leave comments like that on social media.

Ning Lian disliked socializing and was immersed in the world of the two of them, unaware of the criticism outside.

That was, until she competed while sick in the National Idol Performance Competition and fell halfway through her dance.

As Ning Lian fell suddenly during a spin, like a little bird with a broken wing, boos erupted from below the stage and rang through the venue.

"Get off the stage!"

"Ning Lian is useless!"

"Support Lanlan going solo!"

Feng Lanyan went to the audience to soothe her fans.

Ning Lian sat onstage, holding her swollen, reddened ankle as she watched them interact.

She saw a pretty girl in the front row excitedly grab Feng Lanyan's hand. Her voice rang through the entire venue over the microphone:

"Lanlan, you've been treated so unfairly! I know you were looking forward to winning this important competition. It's such a shame you were robbed of the championship."

She also saw Feng Lanyan nod amiably to this fervent fan.

"Thank you for your support. There'll definitely be another chance."

A considerate fan, spending money and effort to come from far away to show her support.

A gentle, thoughtful idol, returning her fan's love with a handshake and a long conversation.

This scene became a heartwarming story everyone loved to talk about.

There was only one person who didn't belong.

Though she was under the spotlight, no one looked at her.

A fan said, "Dancing was the only thing Ning Lian was good for, and now she can't even dance. Lanlan, kick her out."

Feng Lanyan said nothing in response.

After the competition, Ning Lian voluntarily announced that she was leaving the group.

The shadow of failure at the important National Idol Performance Competition lingered in Ning Lian's heart.

She stopped dancing and grew out the hair she had cut short for convenience when performing as a backup dancer.

A victory that had been within reach slipped away, and the lovers who had supported each other went their separate ways.

She could never forget the smile on her lover's face that day. Had she been agreeing with the fan, or was it just a professional smile?

It would have been better if it had remained a mystery forever.

Then she wouldn't have learned the cruel truth.

A prophetic dream let Ning Lian see the future and understand her situation.

She was one of the two female leads in the feel-good novel "Shining Star." She and the other female lead, Feng Lanyan, rose to the top of the world without ever facing a setback. Their love was the envy of everyone.

However, a reader who liked Feng Lanyan wrote a fanfic called "The Moon Shines Alone," casting Ning Lian as the villainous ex who dragged Feng Lanyan down. The new female lead, modeled on the author herself, successfully took her place and ended up with Feng Lanyan.

At the National Idol Performance Competition, the new female lead publicly pointed out Ning Lian's shortcomings and made Feng Lanyan see the truth.

That day became a turning point. A rift appeared between Ning Lian and Feng Lanyan, while the new female lead helped Feng Lanyan escape her toxic ex, step by step.

After waking from her prophetic dream, Ning Lian huddled in a corner, hugging her knees like a kitten drenched in rain.

The turning-point event had already happened, proving that she wasn't the Ning Lian from the original novel, but the villain from the fanfic who wouldn't let go.

She didn't want to get involved in the new protagonists' romance, but again and again she was inevitably drawn into key scenes in the new female lead's pursuit of Feng Lanyan. Somehow, she always managed to attract Feng Lanyan's attention through one coincidence after another.

"Let me go. I don't want to keep suffering."

She said this to Feng Lanyan, who had come to her door to ask for reconciliation.

Feng Lanyan grabbed the hem of her clothes, looking heartbroken, and dropped to her knees to beg her to stay.

"Why? We've always been so close. We've been together for years and never had a single fight."

Ning Lian gazed at her mournfully, at the fanfic protagonist's white moonlight.

"I'm sorry. Please don't make this uglier than it needs to be."

She didn't give a reason.

There was no need to.

Ning Lian was trapped in a country cut off from the world.

She was right, and she was the only mistake.
