Foreword

Greetings, dear readers. My name is An Lèo, though in the world of writing I am often known as anlieo.

I am still a high school student, and it was only in early 2025 that I first discovered NamtanFilm. Though that span of time may seem brief, it has been filled with countless memories. Like many others, I came to know them through the series Pluto. From the very first watch, I was captivated by their performances. What began as curiosity soon grew into admiration, and eventually, into a deep and genuine affection.

Perhaps NamtanFilm entered my life at just the right moment-when I was beginning to lose faith in love. They revealed to me a kind of romance that does not rely on extravagant declarations, but instead shines quietly through care, tenderness, and protection. It was something I once thought existed only in fiction, yet through them I found reason to believe such love still endures.

My hope is that both myself and you, the readers of this story, may accompany NamtanFilm for a long while. And if, one day, we find ourselves stepping away, I believe that the time spent supporting them will remain among the most beautiful and unforgettable memories of our lives.

This is the very first work I have shared publicly after years of setting aside my passion for writing. During that time, I often read fanfiction from other authors. There were many wonderful stories, yet only one left a lasting impression on me. I shall not name it here, but what it taught me was the value of care-care in the crafting of the plot, the shaping of characters, and the beauty of prose. Since then, I have carried within me the dream of one day creating a story with the same dedication and refinement.

And so, when inspiration struck in the form of a showbiz drama narrative that suited NamtanFilm perfectly, I knew the time had come. I chose to nurture that idea, to shape it into the foundation for what I hope will be a compelling and heartfelt story.

I do not deny the use of AI as a supportive tool in the process of developing this work. However, I wish to emphasize that every idea, the storyline itself, and the pivotal moments were conceived by me. AI has been nothing more than a silent assistant-a tool, not a substitute-for the creativity and devotion I have poured into this project.

If you have any thoughts, whether about the writing style, the story's direction, or even the smallest of details, please feel free to share them. I welcome all feedback with gratitude. And if this story speaks to you, I would be honored if you could show your support through a like, a comment, or a share-so that more readers may join us in this journey.
