Summary

"Just give me ten minutes. In ten minutes, you'll be mine." In the neon-drenched, flip-phone era of 2003 Seoul, Cha Yerin is the reigning solo queen of K-pop—bold, flirty, and fiercely commanding on stage. But behind her signature red lipstick, she is suffocating under a predatory contract and a career-destroying media scandal engineered by her toxic ex. Enter Jang Rayeon. A cynical underground producer who despises manufactured idols, he dismisses Yerin as a shallow industry puppet. To survive the press, they strike a desperate deal: a fake-dating contract. She needs his gritty credibility to save her reputation; he needs her star power to save his independent label. They only have to fool the paparazzi and millions of obsessive fans. But as secret, late-night studio sessions bleed into rain-slicked alleyways, the lines between performance and reality blur. Rayeon discovers the raw, vulnerable woman behind the flawless mask, and Yerin finds the only man immune to her pop-star persona. The countdown is on. It only takes ten minutes to sell an illusion to the world—but can a manufactured lie survive the terrifying gravity of a real, slow-burning love?
