Premium chapters begin on September 1, with a 10,000-character update that day.

There are very few game simulators. The career and romance storylines each get about half the focus. The female lead will win both an Oscar and a Grammy. Playing dumb doesn't mean she's actually dumb. She goes from being an artist who gets special resources to becoming an industry power broker. Both Korean and American entertainment are featured. The movie plots will definitely be written, but you can skip them if you don't want to read them.

As the protagonist of the world and the center of this story, the female lead will inevitably have a major impact on K-pop.

So far, the impact has unfolded chronologically as follows: P Company is acquired by the female lead's own company; Mojeong's first full album sells over two million copies; the YG scandal happens early, in September 2018; YG is acquired by the female lead's company; the highest-selling album in K-pop history; the first K-pop artist to win a Grammy; Enhypen debuts under the female lead's company; a self-produced variety show in 2020; and so on.

Career progress: Best Actress at Cannes, two Best Actress awards at Venice, a sweep of Korea's three major awards, Billboard Top Social Artist, nearly five million solo album sales, and starring in the 2020 Oscar winner for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Director.

Romance:

Already broken up with: The Face, Second Flower, Hwa-myeon, Hwa-yong

Suitors: Meng Na, Meng Nuo, Meng Ji, Fu Yi, Xun Xun, Hwa Cheng, Hwa Jiang...
