Off Stage

In the span of a single month, Elara Jones watched her life go from the charts to the courtroom. ​Now, Elara is being sued by her former manager and trial-by-media has already found her guilty. When her past relationship is dragged into the spotlight and she’s publicly accused of being the killer of her ex, the world expects her to fight. But Elara is hollowed out, her fire replaced by a cold, haunting silence. Instead of clearing her name, she simply stops caring. Letting her new manager handle it all. ​Isla Matthews. Known in the industry as "The Fixer". She is the woman you hire when the fire is too big to put out. She comes into Elara’s life as her new manager with a single objective: scrub the scandal and resurrect the star. ​Isla has one rule: No feelings attached. She’s disciplined, logical, and detached. But one look at the broken, defiant Elara turns her world into complete nonsense. The attraction is immediate and dangerous. As Isla works to piece Elara’s reputation back together, she finds herself wanting her. Something that could ruin her entirely. ​But the "Fall from Grace" wasn't an accident. As they get closer, Elara begins to uncover the jagged truth behind her ruin. It wasn't just bad luck or a former manager’s greed, it was a calculated hit. ​When the mask finally falls, Elara must decide, and if Isla is part of the world that betrayed her, can their "relationship" survive the truth? Because Isla Matthews may not just be fixing the disaster. She may be part of it.

Love is a fairy tale

*Love is a Fairy Tale** > **"You have three months. Find someone real, or I’ll find her for you. I won't let my only son end up alone."** Kim-Jo has the world at his feet, but he trusts absolutely no one. As the frontman of the BVS Kings and the sole heir to a global auto-manufacturing empire, he lives a life of extreme wealth, screaming stadiums, and suffocating security. But the fame has turned him into a paranoid recluse. Surrounded by people who only want his money, his cars, or his influence, Kim-Jo has built walls of ice around himself, living a clinical, isolated life. Terrified that his only son is wasting away in a lonely, artificial world, his billionaire father stages a heavy-handed intervention: Kim-Jo has exactly three months to find a bride, or his parents will arrange a marriage to ensure he doesn't end up alone. Refusing to be trapped, Kim-Jo and his bandmates, **Lee-Dae** and **Seo-Joon**, pull a desperate disappearing act. Leaving behind the supercars and designer suits, the three men hit the streets disguised as homeless drifters. It is a massive, high-risk gamble to find a woman who will love the man beneath the crown before time runs out. Enter **Lucy**. She isn't looking for a prince; she’s just trying to survive the daily grind. When the hardworking 21-year-old finds three battered guys out in the cold, she doesn't see global icons—she sees men who need a break. Opening the door to her cramped apartment, she gives them hot food, a safe place to sleep, and the one thing Kim-Jo’s money could never buy: genuine, unconditional human decency. To her, Kim-Jo is just "Jimmy." And for the first time in his life, the Ice King learns what it means to be a normal man. But you can't hide a billion-dollar face forever. When Lucy’s toxic, opportunistic ex-boyfriend crashes back into her life, he recognizes the megastar hiding in her living room. Suddenly, Kim-Jo’s quiet sanctuary is blown wide open. Faced with extortion, his father's ticking clock, and a brutal threat to Lucy's safety, Kim-Jo must decide what kind of man he truly is. He can walk away and return to his golden cage, or he can fight tooth and nail to protect the only real thing he has ever known.
