Synopsis

After transmigrating to a parallel world, Qin Shou becomes a washed-up young star hated across the internet.

To get him back in the spotlight, his company arranges for him to join a down-to-earth reality show called Setting Up a Street Stall with the Stars.

But the production crew treats Qin Shou as a minor celebrity there to fill a slot and doesn't even give him a script.

So, with no script to follow, Qin Shou lets loose completely.

"Ma'am, feel this cashmere sweater. It's top-quality material. I'm selling it to you for just 29.9 yuan each. I'm barely making a profit."

Netizens: "What the hell? Ma'am, don't fall for it! Qin Shou bought these sweaters by the pound at the wholesale market next door for 50 yuan. There are four or five in a pound!"

Qin Shou: "Aww, this little one's adorable! Auntie, take a look at the toys. Big ones and little ones, all just 39.9 yuan each. They're way cheaper than at the supermarket."

Netizens: "Don't buy them, Auntie! These things average just 17 or 18 yuan each. Qin Shou's making more than a 50 percent profit on every one!"

Watching Qin Shou get more and more carried away, his management company can't sit still.

How did you get so hooked on running a street stall?

But then they see the trending topics piling up and his follower count skyrocketing, and the company breaks down in tears.

Our little prince, hurry up and get back to your stall! We'll change your public image right away.

It's quite interesting that the cheat isn't very powerful, and the story has some interesting plot points. Keep updating!

The writing is humorous and fluent, making it a very comfortable read!

It's illogical and straightforward, and the protagonist's cheat abilities are just as powerful as a system. It's a "feel-good" novel, so just enjoy reading it. If you like this kind of story, you can check it out...

Hmm, there is a female lead. He and the male lead only knew each other before, but there were some hints, though not much was emphasized. However, it was obvious to anyone with eyes that the last chapter made it clear: the male and female leads went to see the world together. Well, personally, I'd like to read stories without a romantic pairing.

It's pretty good. The songs are all very fitting for the occasion, the main character is great at creating fun, and the content is very coherent.

This book is so-so, it's fine for me 🙂, because I personally like this type of material. But if you're particular about the content or take it seriously, I suggest you read other novels; this one is a bit niche. [Please update more frequently][Please update more frequently]

This is a fast-paced story; a variety show episode might last a maximum of three months, or as short as a month, which doesn't reflect reality. However, it's acceptable as a lighthearted read. It's well-written, and the ending is decent. There's probably not much more to write, but the details still need polishing.

It's really good. Overall, the pacing of the plot and the characters' values are both excellent. It doesn't feel padded or like a monotonous chronicle. The only flaw is that the opening doesn't explain the details of the protagonist's profit sharing, making it seem like the protagonist is working for free no matter how much money they earn. The protagonist's income is vague, which is frustrating.

It's so good! Aibao and her brothers and their friends are all so cute and sensible. The whole family that raised her is wonderful. Author, I hope they all stay healthy and happy! 💕👍👍

I read it in one go, it was great! I could just skip over the minor errors! The overall reading flowed smoothly, especially since I've been having a reading slump lately, usually putting things down before even finishing the first chapter. I recommend this book!
