Coming from a family who resorted to telling white lies to suppress the truth, Tamara experienced how deteriorating it was to live during those years. They believed that it was all right to lie for their sake and that the reward would be worth it in the end---an illusion they created to cope with the pain. Sooner or later, they'll get back to reality, but after a years-long disappearance, it is too late for them to seek their redemption. Willed by desperation to forget the pain they went under and a belief that seeking the truth for others will redeem her, Tamara becomes a reporter. She believes that giving the truth to others is better, and it will be too much to have an ounce of self-redemption. But when Yuan, a person from Tamara's past who is also STATION's vocalist, tries to reconnect with her, she knows that what he's trying to do is a fraud. He is the one who cut ties, so what is his business with her? As the truth unravels, the risk gets higher as it becomes harder to seek the truth. With judgment built around warm stares and cold voices, emotions, and confusion, there is only one question: Which is the fraud, and which is the truth in this bliss?

"There's an old saying that applies to me: you can't lose a game if you don't play the game." ― William Shakespeare, Romeo & Juliet *** Versechia Escorial had always dreamed of becoming a well-known theater actress. Dubbed as the "Golden Girl" of Royal Colleges for the Arts, she knew the truth it carries: a mockery of her artistic craft. Because in the eyes of the public, she was "too much" for her craft. Too ambitious and too idealistic, they thought she'd soon lose her mind in acting. But an actress could only lose her mind in a script as well-written as Unijariel Montejano's. Uno had always been known as the complementary half of their "Golden Couple," but was more respected than his other half - Versechia. Backed by his charm and excellent scriptwriting skills, he commanded attention from everyone, even those above him. He was seen as practical; someone whose ambition perfectly matches his passion and capabilities. But she didn't let his reputation undermine her. They are an artistic union, an unbreakable pact driven by madness and ambition, where whatever he achieves, she achieves, too, and whatever she receives is his. And if he falls, she will, too. Because together, they are the universe.
