Mao Huansheng is the only daughter of a wealthy businesswoman, but is raised by the next-door neighbors - the Huang family - and becomes best friends with their son, Huang Zitao.

Huansheng is a little shy but is outgoing when she's comfortable. Taught to be a good housewife, she's talented at cleaning and cooking. Intelligent, her mother desires her to be a doctor or a mathematician once she gets older.

Her dream? Follow her friend and become a famous Kpop Idol. Or at least be a singer in China.

What happens when life chooses a harder path for the young woman?

This book is an AU POV, but I will try to follow the timeline of Real Life as closely as possible to keep accuracy. In this AU, even though the China Line leaves, the three I mention remained close friends, which keeps EXO together even when apart for obvious reasons.

I have also "created" a girl group for Huansheng to debut in (B/LVD, pronounced as "beloved"). In no way is it to be taken as a real group, nor shall its members be considered real people. All names I created for the story are fictional, with no connection to real people.

I also made the entertainment company(ies) to be slightly connected to the government, allowing mafia-like actions to occur. This is not to be considered a real occurrence, it is merely for the plot of the story.

Thank you and enjoy!
