"When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes back. When you play someone else, do you still remember who you are?"
Chinese exchange student Su Wan, drowning in debt from her obsession with K-pop idol Jung Haoyu, receives a bizarre offer from his agency—to become the stand-in for his deceased girlfriend.
She dons the dead girl's wig, voice, memories, even her pain. The mansion, familial love, the idol's growing dependence... the arrangement spirals out of control. As the reflection of "Chen Ya" grows clearer in the mirror, the real Su Wan begins to fade.
When the truth is finally exposed by the media, she discovers:
√ Behind idol Haoyu's perfect facade lies a selfishness carved into his bones
√ The line in Chen Ya's diary—"He only loves the illusion"—becomes her own cursed fate
√ And the chairman, who knew the truth all along, offers her not a check, but a mirror to her soul
⚠️ Warning: This is not your typical stand-in romance. When fan obsession collides with the abyss of human nature, every reader must ask themselves—do you love him, or just the fantasy you've projected?
