Showbiz: I Told You to Play the Victim, Not Toy with My Feelings

Xiao Chen accidentally transmigrates to a parallel world and joins a televised singing competition.

Everyone else is playing up their sob stories, and his manager tells him to do the same.

Xiao Chen says, "I've got a System. Why would I need to play up a sob story?"

Xiao Chen refuses outright, then sets the whole stage ablaze with a song called "Nocturne," backed by his master-level singing skills!

But because of the lyrics to "Nocturne," the audience decides Xiao Chen must have a story to tell!

Xiao Chen wasn't planning to explain, but when he sees his popularity climbing by the second, he can't hold back!

Xiao Chen: "That's right. My love life has been full of hardships!"

Audience: "I knew it! There's a touching story behind 'Nocturne'!"

Xiao Chen: "My girlfriend was born with a disability. She can't speak or hear me, and my parents don't understand. They don't want us together. What should I do?"

Audience: "He doesn't care that his girlfriend is disabled? That's so touching! Sob, sob..."

But just as the audience is being moved by Xiao Chen's story...

Xiao Chen: "Fine! I've decided to do what my parents want and go let the air out of my girlfriend!"

Audience: "??? We told you to play up a sob story, not toy with our feelings!"
