In the heart of Seoul, where neon lights painted the night sky and dreams hung like constellations, two worlds collided. Aeri Kim, a 20-year-old with fire in her eyes and a voice that could shatter glass, had been waiting for this moment. TWS Entertainment had scouted her three years ago, promising stardom, but the path to debut was treacherous.

The rules were etched in stone: don't date, don't talk to outsiders, and don't get caught in scandals. Aeri's heart raced as she stepped into the rehearsal room, the mirrored walls reflecting her determination. She had sacrificed everything for this chance—the late-night practices, the tears shed in solitude, and the memories of a simpler life.

But would she adhere to these strict guidelines? As she stood under the unforgiving spotlight, she wondered. The pressure was immense, the weight of expectations threatening to crush her. Yet, the allure of fame beckoned—a siren song that promised love, adoration, and a place among the stars.

Meanwhile, Kang Si-Woo, the "golden boy" of K-pop, navigated a double life. At 23, he was a member of the biggest boy group in history, adored by millions. But behind the stage persona, he yearned for authenticity. When he crossed paths with Aeri, everything changed. Her passion ignited something within him—a rebellion against the rules he'd followed for years.

She challenged him, made him question the sacrifices he'd made for fame. Could he risk it all for a rookie girl group member? Or would the truth of his double life be exposed, tearing apart the carefully constructed façade?

As they faced jealous rivals, media scrutiny, and their own doubts, they wondered: Would they overcome the challenges? Or would their love break them, leaving shattered dreams in its wake?

The stage was set, and the spotlight awaited. In the city where passion met fame, hearts collided under the Seoul sky. Their love story would unfold—a melody of desire, secrets, and the intoxicating rhythm of fame.

And so it began.
