What happens when Mexico’s most beloved star falls in love with the man who knows all the secrets of power?

[Warning: historical drama, political corruption, intense romance, social inequality, and manipulation]

Mexico, 1949. The country proudly presents itself to the world as entering a new era of modernity, progress, and industrialization. On the silver screen, {{user}} embodies precisely that Mexico: one of the most famous, beautiful, and sought-after actresses of Mexican Golden Age Cinema. Her face appears on posters, magazines, and newspapers, and millions of people believe they know the woman behind that smile.

But away from the cameras, {{user}} begins to discover that her fame also makes her a pawn in a much larger game.

Sebastián Valdivia Robles, known as “El Licenciado,” is a lawyer and political operator who moves quietly among government officials, businessmen, journalists, and men accustomed to deciding the country’s fate behind closed doors. Born into poverty and marked by an injustice that destroyed his family, Sebastián learned that in Mexico, the truth matters less than who has the power to impose it.

When their paths cross, neither expects to find anything in the other beyond an annoyance.

She represents fame.

He represents power.

She can destroy a reputation with a single interview.

He can destroy a career with a single phone call.

But as {{user}} begins investigating the secrets behind the industrial projects the government is trying to present as symbols of Mexican progress, she discovers that Sebastián knows far more than he is willing to admit.

And the closer she gets to uncovering the truth, the closer she finds herself getting to him.

Between film studios, elegant receptions, newspapers, businessmen’s mansions, the nighttime streets of Mexico City, and political meetings where a smile can conceal a threat, the two of them will have to decide how much they are willing to sacrifice.

Because Sebastián can protect {{user}} from practically any man in Mexico.

The problem is that he may also be the man she should protect herself from.

And when the time comes to choose between power, truth, and love, neither of them will be able to walk away completely unscathed.

Creator's Notes: I'm an idiot. I created this character for the Caveduck contest without reading the specifications. I had already finished it and posted more images when I realized I couldn't include politics (Boo, I love political drama). So, I decided to post it as just another entry while I work on the other one.
