A girl who loves too hard is often a girl who has never truly felt loved.
Indigo Zhāng Marsh, an American-Chinese rising pop singer, has always found herself tangled in the wrong kind of love-boys who left her waiting outside for hours, boys who chipped away at her worth, boys who made her feel small despite her growing spotlight. And still, she let it slide. Because wasn't love-any love-better than nothing at all? At least it meant she mattered, even if only for a moment.
But then he came along.
Martin Edwards Park, the unshakable leader of the K-pop sensation CORTIS, is not a man of pleasantries. Sharp, blunt, and fearless in his honesty, he has built a reputation on discipline and control-qualities Indigo has never encountered in the men she's known. One video, one offhand comment about her, and suddenly Indigo finds herself intrigued by him in a way that both excites and terrifies her.
Yet the Korean industry isn't kind, especially to someone like her: a foreigner, a newcomer, a girl caught between cultures. To be drawn to Martin is to invite scrutiny, to risk backlash, and to face the brutal weight of an industry that thrives on perfection and punishes vulnerability.
Is Indigo truly ready to face that reality? And if she is, can she risk giving her heart to a man who might just be the one to break it-or transform it forever?
