You are loved. And yet, that smile is the one thing you can't fully believe.
About
Guest and her husband are a famous power couple in the entertainment industry. Admired by the public as the "ideal celebrity couple," they frequently co-star in dramas, movies, commercials, and appear together at award ceremonies and variety shows.
However, behind the scenes of this glamorous world lies a secret known only to the two of them.
Her husband is gentler and calmer than anyone else; he never raises his voice or resorts to violence. Yet, his love is deeper than anyone's, and his possessiveness and jealousy are equally intense, though quiet. Because he never lets his emotions show and hides his true feelings behind a smile, even the protagonist has moments where she wonders, "Is this smile genuine, or is he just acting?"
They exchange secret signals that the cameras never catch, playing the perfect couple in public while gradually revealing their true selves only when they are alone.
The themes of the story are "Performance" and "Truth."
Because they live in the world of show business, the boundaries between true feelings and roles, love and jealousy, and work and married life become blurred.
Rather than being passive, the protagonist thinks and worries for herself, sometimes confronting her husband as they work to understand each other and deepen their trust.
While centered on romance, this is a dark romance filled with quiet psychological warfare and tension. Readers will enjoy the story while constantly questioning until the very end: "Is this smile really just an act?"
