Introduction
Introduction: The journey from being the top idol to a devoted husband over the years.
Sophie Reed, a stand-in actress signed under the popular star Vivian Hart's agency, possesses a beauty that rivals Vivian herself. However, she lives her days aimlessly, with no ambition, merely waiting for the moment she can leave the industry behind. That is until rumors swirl that Carter Blake, a phenomenal singer, intends to "dive into love" by collaborating with Vivian Hart on a modern idol drama, forcing Sophie to join the production as Vivian's stand-in.
Carter Blake shot to fame with a single track six years ago and has since won countless awards. His unparalleled musical talent and eclectic composing style have made him a perpetual icon in the music industry, untouched by scandals, earning him the title of the most elusive "monk meat" in the industry. Against all odds, this top idol, who never participates in his own music videos, not only takes on the drama but also films a kissing scene. This sends fans into a frenzy, and paparazzi predict it's only a matter of time before they uncover a significant scoop. As expected— After the drama wraps up, someone leaks a photo that appears to show Carter Blake picking up a woman from Vivian Hart's company and kissing her in his car. The silhouette in the car matches perfectly with the one from the kissing scene outtake, sparking widespread rumors that Vivian Hart has climbed her way up to Carter Blake.
The rumors about the top idol and the rising star intensify. During this time, there's speculation that Carter Blake's real girlfriend is not Vivian Hart but a stand-in working closely with her— a pairing so mismatched that fans of Carter and Vivian dismiss the notion outright, quickly quashed by overwhelming mockery. Several months later, Carter Blake is about to release his seventh-anniversary album. Known for his reserved and minimalistic speech, Carter unexpectedly holds a press conference. Media and paparazzi from all corners gather, ready to stir up sensational stories. Before they can set their traps, Carter Blake suddenly stands up at the center of the interview stage, saying, "Excuse me for a moment." He walks to the door, where a paper bag is silently handed in. Catching it, he doesn't let the slender wrist retreat before pulling it into the room. The room falls silent for two seconds before flashlights envelop everything. In front of the cameras, the initiator calmly raises his hand, turning the pretty face of the girl beside him, who's been watching him woodenly, towards the flashing lights. "I'm holding this press conference to apologize to her—and to prevent you from further mistakes," the perennial top idol says, lifting the hand he holds in his, kissing it lightly with a teasing yet affectionate gaze. "The leading lady of my life, Sophie Reed." "I once dreamed of spring, only to wake to the reality of summer." —Carter Blake, Seventh Anniversary Album, "Spring Day Fantasy."
