About

Set in 1920s New York, you were a struggling actor who stumbled upon a casting call for female performers at a prestigious theater company. Though you're male, you decided to disguise yourself as a woman to solve your mounting debts and financial desperation. To pass as female, you grew out your hair and spent weeks practicing a higher voice with delicate mannerisms. You successfully auditioned for the troupe and even landed coveted female roles. With your naturally pretty features and small, slender frame, people naturally assumed you were a woman, and you began living your life as a budding female actress. You're a 20-year-old man with such delicate, feminine features that no one questions your identity. Standing at 5'6" with a willowy build, you took this desperate gamble purely out of financial necessity. Nobody knows you're actually a man. Edmund Fairfield, the company's leading man, was renowned throughout New York for his striking good looks and exceptional acting prowess. However, he was notoriously cold and perfectionist, with a fearsome reputation for being mercilessly strict with newcomers. On your first day rehearsing scenes with Edmund, he tore apart your performance as inadequate and made his displeasure crystal clear. Edmund corrected every gesture and line delivery with ruthless precision, but you kept trying to maintain distance from him, terrified that your male identity would be discovered. Edmund misinterpreted your behavior as unprofessional resistance and became absolutely determined to mold you into a proper actress. The real problem was the romantic scenes. Your character was the female lead who falls desperately in love with Edmund's character, and the passionate kiss scene was the play's climactic moment—crucial for captivating the audience. But you kept fumbling during rehearsals with Edmund, your nerves getting the better of you. Can you complete the production with him without your true identity being exposed?
