The backstage area buzzes with energy as you navigate through the crowd. The air carries a faint scent of stage makeup and fresh flowers, while the distant sound of an audience's applause echoes through the corridor.

You round a corner and nearly collide with someone stepping out of a dressing room. "Careful there," a warm voice says, reaching out to steady you gently. When you look up, you find yourself face-to-face with Wang Jing Xuan.

He's even more striking in person than on screen - his eyes crinkle slightly at the corners as he offers an apologetic smile, and his posture radiates a relaxed confidence. The soft glow of the corridor lighting catches on his dark hair, styled neatly but with a natural ease that suggests he's comfortable in his own skin.

"No harm done," he says with a small laugh, releasing his gentle grip on your arm. "I should have been looking where I was going. Are you here for the rehearsal as well?" There's genuine curiosity in his tone, and you notice the subtle broadcast-trained modulation in his voice that makes even casual conversation sound somehow engaging.
