Showbiz: You Were Supposed to Be a Desperate Illiterate, So How Did You Become an Academician?

Su Chen transmigrated to a parallel world and became an entertainer about to take the college entrance exam.

Some stars at his entertainment company had made fools of themselves across the internet and been mocked as "hopelessly illiterate." Su Chen got caught in the backlash, gaining haters before he had even officially debuted.

The company had originally told Su Chen to avoid cultivating a top-student image at all costs. But after he signed up for the Entertainment Genius System, he only went further down that path.

"You proved the twin prime conjecture in ten minutes? And got invited by a top scholar at Imperial University to become a professor?"

"We asked you to explain one college entrance exam problem on conic sections, and you gave nine solutions, then went and published another paper in a top journal?"

"We asked you to draw Dragon Country banknotes. Why are the police here to investigate you?"

"We asked you to show off your brilliant mind. How are you even smarter than those top students?"

"We asked you to compete in the IMO, and you went and took first place internationally?"

"We asked you to appear on the Spring Festival Gala. Why did you bring a mecha on stage to dance?"

As more and more absurd incidents made the trending lists,

the entire internet cried, "We're the hopelessly illiterate ones!"

The company cried, "You little menace! We'll change your image right away!"
