That night, Jeongnyeon discovered her mother's old diary hidden in a loose floorboard of their rented room. The pages were fragile, the ink faded. But one entry burned into her eyes: "Year 3 of the company. They accuse me of theft. But I only took what was owed—the director's special fund for 'favors' from the young actresses. I exposed him. They called me a liar. A thief. I am leaving. But I am taking the truth with me. My daughter will know. One day." Jeongnyeon pressed the diary to her chest. Her mother wasn't a criminal. She was a whistleblower. And the man who destroyed her? He was still alive. Still running the theater. But backstage, the celebration was short-lived

Jeongnyeon stood frozen in the wings, clutching the hem of her male namnyeon costume. Tonight was her first night playing Lee Mongryong in a full production. Not a substitute. Not an understudy. The lead.
