## Synopsis

A young woman has spent years supporting the entertainment ambitions of the person she loves, only to discover that he saw her devotion as useful rather than meaningful. Furious at being discarded, she decides to enter show business herself and surpass him. The plan sounds simple while revenge is doing the talking. Once she faces auditions and unfamiliar assignments, anger proves less useful than discipline and a willingness to look foolish while learning. Performing soon offers something her grudge cannot: a sense of identity built around her own ability. The story follows that difficult shift while keeping the premise playful and the romantic tension simmering.
