The Emperor's Concubine

Chapter 1: That Beautiful Star...Touya Rima

It was another one of those busy days for Touya Rima. She loves it, her work that is. Being a famous idol and a model was something that everyone envies. Both normal people and celebrities wanted her position in the industry.

"Look! It’s Rima-san!"

"Wow, her skin is glowing." whispered one of the by-standers.

She wore her usual expressionless face. She was not like those other idols who wanted to catch people’s attention. Her bright-colored hair and milky-white skin was enough. In fact, she sometimes wanted to hide from all the lights and glamour.

It was a beautiful area on the sunny park. She held on to her parasol tighter. She was afraid of the sun. Even when wearing a sunblock, she still wouldn’t step out there.

"UVA and UVB rays are harmful to the skin Mori-san." she said to her manager.

The tall young man in his early twenties formed a sweat on his forehead. “Ano…Rima-san…” he scratched his head.

"Don’t worry too much about it." she closed her parasol and handed it to him. "I’m fine."

"Rima-san…"

The production staff stared at her. In their eyes, she was glowing. Hearts started to fly everywhere as she walked.

"She’s beautiful!" a girl screamed almost fainting.

"My eyes! I’m blinded!"

People started drooling. Jealous of her beauty…they even had their jaws dropped when she flipped her pig-tailed hair.

"Minna-san," she threw a smile. "Let’s start!"

On the other hand, her fanboys started to take stalker pictures from behind the bushes.

"Uwaaa!!! Did you see that?! Rima-sama smiled…" exclaimed Kaido. "Shinbu did you get a picture of that?"

"Yosh!" the one named Shinbu punched a fist in the air.

"Wait…" Ranmaru wore a shocked expression. "Your nose is bleeding."

"Shinbu you pervert!" Kaido smacked his head in disgust.

Among them was a newbie who just sat silently while the others took pictures. He adjusted his spectacle and hoodie.

'Touya Rima…' he thought to himself.

He stood up and left. It was enough seeing her at a distance. Someday, he will be able to reach that beautiful star. He looked back and saw her sitting on a bench. Autumn leaves fell as the wind blew. A scene one will only see in a movie…but this was real. Touya Rima, his perfect angel.

"Hey kid. Are you going already?"

He nodded and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Kyaaa! Ranmaru, did you see that?"
