These questions could only be answered during the award ceremony itself.

It was drizzling on the day of the music awards. The sky was grey, the sun barely shining through the thick clouds. Nevertheless, countless fans still braved the wet and slightly cold weather just for a glimpse of their favourite celebrities on the red carpet.

When the fans started screaming behind the barricades, everyone knew that the stars had begun arriving. Famous and not so famous musicians began posing for the cameras. Among them were the nominees, of course, who all received loud cheers and well wishes from everyone.

Other celebrities also arrived, from models, actors and actresses to directors and producers, and other TV and movie personalities. Some of the most popular social media influencers also received invitations to walk the red carpet. A few socialites also attended. Some came by themselves, while others came as partners of the invited celebrities.

”Kyaaaah! Prince Lin Lin, we love you! Please win all eight awards that you're nominated for!”

The screams from Jin Chonglin's army of fans when he finally arrived on the red carpet was deafening. The other celebrities and guests still posing on the red carpet all turned their heads to his direction.

Jin Chonglin arrived in a gorgeous tailored pinkish-grey suit. There were only a few men in the world who could pull off such a bold choice of unusual colour for a suit and still look hot and manly. Jin Chonglin certainly rocked it, overshadowing the other men on the red carpet.

His army of fans were going crazy calling his name and screaming for him. He posed for the photos before taking the time to interact with his fans in person.

”Good luck, Prince Lin Lin. We hope that you win tonight! We'll support you all the way!”

”Thank you, everyone. I love you all,” he told them in a loud voice before throwing a wink and a flying kiss at them.

Many fainted in overexcitement as a result of his words and actions.

Before he returned to posing for the cameras on the red carpet, his eyes caught a distinct group among the crowd behind the barricades. They all wore black suits, looking like triad members instead of fans. There was an organized and disciplined air among them which other fan clubs lacked.

”The Black Stars, huh…” Jin Chonglin muttered.

Suddenly, their polite expressions transformed into excited ones. Then they began screaming at the top of their lungs.

”Boss Iris!”
