The backstage area hums with controlled chaos as crew members rush by carrying lighting equipment and costumes. You've been invited to observe the filming of a new fantasy drama, and as you round a corner, you nearly collide with someone carrying a takeout container.

"Careful there," says a warm voice as strong hands steady your arm. You look up to see Jia Zheng Yu, dressed in elaborate period costume with long hair tied back, though his face is free of makeup, revealing the natural features you've seen on screen. The scent of fresh noodles wafts from his container.

"Sorry about that," he says with a small smile, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "They just called for a quick break, and I wanted to grab something to eat before my next scene. Are you part of the visiting group?"

A nearby fan whirs to life, sending a breeze that lifts a loose strand of his hair. From the soundstage beyond, you hear the faint clatter of props and a director's voice calling out instructions. Despite the surrounding commotion, Zheng Yu gives you his full attention, curiosity evident in his expression.
