Dramaindustry Stories

I fell into a river. Mid-scene. Mid-line. Mid-emotional breakdown-fictional, mind you. And suddenly, I'm in a hospital, unconscious, and the whole internet thinks I tried to off myself because of a secret breakup. With a co-star. Who I'm not dating. And who absolutely didn't deserve the hate storm blowing up her socials. Seriously? All I wanted was to feel the drama for my new script. Not become the drama. But now I'm the trending tragedy. She's the villain. My company's sweating. And I can't even move a finger to clear it up. So yeah. If I ever wake up, someone's going to get the real story. Spoiler: It starts with a sword fight, ends with a splash, and has nothing to do with heartbreak. *Ji Ling | Li Jie *Li Lun | Zhuo Yichen *Long Shen | Yuan Wu Di "Dreamer's Note:" This story explores a little too much about what happens behind the curated smiles- the pressure of the spotlight, the weight of public perception, the echo chamber of toxic fans, and the unspoken bruises the entertainment world leaves behind. I haven't lived that world, but I've seen enough of the internet to know what it does to people. If that's something you're sensitive to, please read with care. There's love here-eventually. Maybe quietly. Maybe when it's least expected. It's humour oriented. Still. But no hard feelings if this isn't the story for you. (And no, this isn't an apology. Just a polite heads-up, before the fiction begins.)
