Grab The Heroine and Run Away – Introduction

A short guide/introduction to this wonderful novel (explaining some of the things you might not understand if you haven’t seen Idol/Reality Survivial Shows).

By: Sinensis


Summary of photos/moments of what things look like in this masterpiece.


Dorm Photos: In the novel, the trainee dorms are where Xu Heran and Xin Nuo’s antics usually happen. kinda spoiler/sneak peek?
There’s this one scene where Xu Heran tries to carry something, but she ends up using the bed’s step thingy for support, just like in the photo.


These photos capture the show’s vibe/aesthetic and how trainees showcase their talents and grab some screen time.


Stage/ranking set-up whenever who gets eliminated/stays gets announced. They go up to this platform when their names get called, which shows them what rank they got and their standing in the competition.


Some scenes in the novel just show them practicing (kinda) so these just show you how the show displays showing the audience their efforts.


This is what the ranking/eliminations look like in the novel.


In the novel, they use their dorm rooms as makeshift interview spots. The camera crew asks individual questions, which focuses on their faces against a pink backdrop. (pink is for the girl’s season; blue is for the boy’s as shown in the photo)


In this novel, everyone dons pink shirts provided by the show, in contrast to the ranking-based color system used in Produce 101/Produce 48.
