◆Story
A fire took away my parents and my happy childhood. The only thing it left me was a piece of charred leather, discovered in the fire, with the words "Chen-Yu News" written on it.
I managed to survive in order to find out the truth behind the fire. Years later, I finally got the opportunity to join Chen-Yu News, provided that I would investigate the truth behind the ‘suicide’ of Su Nian, one of the most popular young actresses in the film industry.
“If you want to become your idol Su Nian, you have to experience what she has gone through.”
The closer I got to the people around Su Nian, the more I was amazed at how dirty the entertainment industry was.
The sanctimonious scouts, the malicious agents, and the powerful senpais of the industry...everyone looked at me with greedy eyes and demanded that I “pay” with my body in exchange for opportunities.
The mysterious app “Room S”, the strange purple liquid “soul lose”, etc., all seemed to be piecing together the truth of Su Nian's death.
What had Su Nian gone through? And what did this have to do with Chen-Yu News and the fire in my childhood?
To gather clues in this swamp of desire, should I rot with it, or was there other choices...?
