Tian's pov
"TIAN XUNJU THE RISING STAR"
"Best new coming actor award goes to Tian xunju"
Suddenly every channel , social media , billboard was filled with Tian xunju's name.
A mass success from his 3rd series called "love is revenge". A global hit. Just a few days ago who knew the name of Tian Xunju !! but now every mouth is filled with his praise and great acting .
But great success is always followed by great scandal.
Suddenly an unknown account started to post picture of Tian Xunju with his ex girlfriend, with a caption:
'he's been married and already have a child.'
The fans who once applauded him and gave him their full support, started to act like the biggest haters of his.
Constantly chasing his location , sending threats to die, harsh comments on his face during his travel, became almost regular activities from sasaeng . But one incident changed Tian's whole perspective of entertainment industry.
One day,
Tian leaned his head against the cool leather of the headrest, his eyes closed. Outside the tinted windows, the neon lights of Shanghai blurred into streaks of blue and silver. He had just finished a fourteen-hour shoot, and his ears were still ringing from the artificial screams of the fans at the studio gates.
"The air conditioning smells… sweet," he murmured, his voice raspy. "Like lilies."
His driver, Lao zhan, didn't answer. He was focused on navigating the narrow alleyway that led to Tian's private complex.
Tian reached for his phone, ready to check his Weibo one last time, but his hand froze. There, tucked into the seat pocket directly in front of him—a place only his assistant should have access to—was a small, hand-knitted doll.
It was wearing a miniature version of the costume he had worn in the series finale.
A cold shiver raced down his spine, sharper than the AC. He picked it up. It wasn't just a doll. It was damp. Attached to it was a handwritten note in bright red ink:
"You looked so tired in the second scene today. I wanted to reach out and touch your face, but the security was too mean. Don't worry, I'm closer now. I can hear you breathing."
His heart hammered against his ribs. "Lao zhan, stop the car. Who was in here during the break?"
Still, silence from the front.
Tian sat up, leaning forward to tap the driver's shoulder. As he did, his phone vibrated with a frantic notification. It was a private message from an anonymous account with no profile picture.
[Unknown]: The blue tie suits you better than the black one, Tian . But you should really lock your balcony door tonight. I don't like it when the wind blows on you.
Accompanying the message was a photo.
It was a photo of him, taken thirty seconds ago, from the perspective of the car's own internal dashcam. He was looking at the doll.
He looked up at the rearview mirror. He didn't see Lao zhan's eyes. He saw a small, blinking red light hidden inside the mirror's frame.
The car wasn't a fortress. It was a glass box. And someone, somewhere, was watching him breathe.

The whole incident traumatised him so bad he refused to go out and always try to hide in his apartment.
After few weeks, he had to go out for his prior commitments.
He showered. Dressed all black. Wearing a sunglasses and a mask for hiding his well structured tired face.
Manager- "why are you getting dressed so early we have a flight to beijing in 4 hours."
Tian-"let's go there early."
He was actually scared of the fans who were keep following him, waiting for him to crawl out of his room so they can eat him like a predator was starving for their food. He thought it'll be better to go there early so he can avoid those maniacs.
.

In the Airport…
Tian entered the rest zone and monitoring the whole area. Avoiding every other seats where people were sitting . Fearing from getting recognise.
Manager- "Tian look there's an empty seat
Beside a girl. She looks like a foreigner. She's not going to recognise you in this outfit."
Tian look at the way where his manager was pointing. He saw a brown skinned girl wearing baggy jeans with a white croptop. She's on a call with someone and speaking some other language. Her height maybe around 5'4 or 5'3. Under the thick eyebrows brown eyes were narrowing while smiling . Neck length black hair.
He moved there and sat beside her.
After a while he noticed a blue wallet with white flowers on it was peeping out from under the seat.
He immediately called out the foreigner girl beside her.
I'm sorry I don't know Chinese can you speak in English!!!" The foreigner girl requested.

On plane Tian was keep scrolling his phone until he saw an another pic of him sitting in the rest zone of airport was posted .
He froze .
"Even after arriving 4 hours early , people still caught him. Maybe they are in this plane too. Watching him closely." He thought . Suddenly his stomach reacted with all the anxiety. He went to the restroom.
During his trip from restroom to his seat , he was watching every person in the plane with suspicious look. The BAAMMMM——
suddenly something hit his chest not harder just a little thud sound came from the collision.
He looked down it was the same foreigner girl. She looked at him with her wide eyes . Tian realised he left his mask in his seat and his mouth was exposed. Showing his ethereal facial features in the dim light of the room.
He replied the girl coldly and went to his sit .
After getting famous Tian got a sense where he can feel someone's gaze towards him. He suddenly remembered the recent incident ( where he found a pic of himself in insta sitting in the rest zone ) . His heart throbbed.
He started to look around him and his eyes spotted a familiar figure. That same foreign girl . She was passing by but Tian feel her eyes on him.
.
.
It's her third time walking beside him of some lame excuses .
When plane landed Tian immediately got out and grabbed a cab and went to his hotel .

At night , he was laying on his bed while thinking ,
"Maybe that foreign girl posted that pic…..but did she really recognised me with all the layer of clothes... no no it's must been a coincidence. But why was she staring me in the plane ?"
Tian groaned in frustration and went to sleep.
Next morning he went to the shooting where he's going to shoot an ad of shampoo .
He was lazily scrolling through his phone in his private green room.
The doored opened.
In mirror he saw a familiar figure coming towards him .
It's Yue Yue . He was about to give a smile in response of her greeting .
He froze.
That same foreign girl from rest zones , flight was stamdung infront of him . His eyes widened as yueyue introduced the girl as a new makeup intern from India.
A lot of thoughts were running through his mind.
It's a lot to digest as a coincidence
and at last he let his intrusive thought win and called her
"What a creepy stalker."
