Synopsis

[Entertainment industry + brotherhood + clever characters + making money + slice of life + slow pace]

Fifteen years later, several has-been members of the “Second Careers Boy Band” make a comeback.

A flood of netizens begin digging through the archives of the 2007 summer season of Super Boy, searching for the group known as “0713.”

As they dig deeper, a mysterious man named Li Xian catches everyone’s attention.

Facing a massive 22.7-billion-yuan breach-of-contract claim from his former company, Chen Chusheng immediately calls Li Xian:

“Xian, I’ve decided to terminate my contract with the company…”

Before long, Chen Chusheng learns that his former company has been acquired by a mysterious tycoon.

When Wang Zhengliang gets an invitation to perform at the Spring Festival Gala, he calls Li Xian:

“Xian, I want to get a new song on the Gala…?”

Soon afterward, he receives the song “Where Has All the Time Gone?”

Zhang Yuan really wants to write a song for his idol, the fairy-like goddess.

Then a copy of “Guest,” a wedding invitation from Li Xian and the goddess, and an offer to sing at their wedding all arrive in Zhang Yuan’s hands.

Wang Lixin, Yu Haoming, and Wei Chen have all been struggling to find acting work lately, so they call Li Xian for help one after another.

Then offers for leading roles in movies by famous directors like Zhang, Feng, and Chen start rolling in.

He also receives a text reminder: Stay safe! Especially Haoming!

Li Xian has barely caught his breath after taking care of all those little matters when he gets word that Allen Su has been cheated on and is about to get into a fight.

“Tell Zhang Jie not to close up yet. Wait for me to get there and hand him a chair!”

It's really good. The author must be trying to make up for their own regrets... It's a pity I missed the Super Boy competition back then, so I don't know much about them, but I really like the current 0713 (referring to the group of contestants). I hope they're all doing well.

Hello author, I am the mother of the child on this account. My child is currently experiencing self-harm, emotional instability, and severe depression because of your slow updates. I have tried everything but nothing has worked. Based on my discussion with the doctor, only you can save my child. Therefore, I hope you can update a little more. I don't ask you to update tens of thousands of chapters a day, or even thousands, just a few hundred. Thank you for saving my child's life.

It's well-written, and I also really like 0713 and the re-employment boy band. That's why I clicked on this. However, I don't like the portrayal of the women. It seems like everyone likes the male lead, even if he's truly outstanding, it doesn't have to be that bad. Although he's very straight and there's no ambiguity, the female characters are rather unlikable. I'll keep watching, hoping it gets better as it goes on. Keep it up!

It's a great read! The writing is excellent, the characters' personalities are very fitting, and the plot doesn't drag. I absolutely love this brotherhood! ✧٩(ˊωˋ*)و✧ However, maybe because I usually read novels without a female lead or with two male leads, even if the female lead in this book is a goddess, I really don't want a female lead!

I binged it all in one go, and now that the most enjoyable part is over, I feel a sudden emptiness. It was truly amazing! Although it's a bit short, that doesn't stop me from looking forward to the next installment! I love the author's imagination so much, and I hope 0713 will have an even brighter future this time! Ahhh! Author, please update more frequently! Please!!

From the content of this book, you can tell that the author has genuinely and thoroughly researched the subject matter. I'm so happy that the older fans served as the author's muses, and I'm also happy to see so many readers who, like me, love them. I haven't finished reading the whole book yet, but I've reached the part where they prepare for the 13-to-11 competition after moving into the castle.

The writing is very realistic, and the expressions are comfortable to read. While there's some finesse, it's precisely this kind of colloquial style that's most captivating. I love this writing style—it keeps you reading and makes you anticipate my next move. I'm waiting to see what happens next; let me continue enjoying it!
