You Asked Me to Perform a Talent, So I Smash a Boulder on My Chest?

Parallel world, 2015. The entertainment industry.

At Boss Yang's thirtieth birthday party, a whole lineup of aging and young male stars take the stage to perform and offer their birthday wishes.

Hua Chenyu, Dilraba, Cai Xukun dance like demons...

Shen Xiao, a pretty boy with no talent who is doted on by Yang Mi, gets shoved onto the stage with no way to refuse.

"This guy can't sing, dance, or act. What does Big Honey see in him?"

"Go wash up and go to bed. Don't pollute our ears and eyes."

Facing a tidal wave of doubt and mockery, Shen Xiao takes an unconventional path.

"Today, I've brought everyone a special act: breaking a rock on my chest."

"Bang!"

When the sledgehammer smashes the slab of marble resting on Shen Xiao, the whole internet is stunned.

From then on, Shen Xiao's 'wrong turns' take him further and further afield.

On an escape-room show, he becomes a lock-picker.

On a military training show, he becomes a battle wolf.
