Entertainment Circle: The Veteran Trainee

Eight years of blood, sweat, and broken promises at S.M. Entertainment have forged Pei Nalin into a flawless idol—unmatched vocals, killer visuals, perfect dance lines. Yet every debut lineup sees her name crossed out for a fresh face with better connections. Now, at long last, she's made the cut for the company's 5th generation girl group. The catch? She's the oldest member on a team of teenagers, branded as the 'veteran' in an industry that worships youth. But Nalin didn't survive eight years of betrayal to play supporting role. It's time to show them what a real ace looks like.
