The Road to Stardom Starts With a Talent Show

[Girl-group competition + no romance + high ranking from the start + steady improvement + livestreaming interludes + imperfect characters + everyone is career-focused (Note: All song lyrics in this story were written by the author. Any resemblance is purely coincidental.)] Yinghua Entertainment, the biggest entertainment company in Country Z, revealed six months ago that it had spent five years secretly preparing a talent competition called Shining Star. It then held auditions for five months. Now the show is officially underway. A hundred trainees have gathered under one roof to compete on the same stage. Who will debut and who will leave disappointed? The result is still unknown. An Fanxi has spent six years preparing for this moment. No other company could offer better prospects than Yinghua. She will either debut or die trying. From her very first appearance, An Fanxi takes a bold approach. There is no room for keeping a low profile on this stage. To make sure the audience notices you, you cannot hide yourself. From the opening stage through the third public performance, An Fanxi gives the audience one new experience after another. She takes first place in her debut performance, breaks out, and becomes the trainee everyone is talking about. An Fanxi makes sure the world remembers her name. But will the road ahead be as smooth as her opening performance? With wolves ahead and tigers behind, watch An Fanxi shine on the stage of Shining Star and debut in the center position. [Note: The protagonist knows her goal from the very beginning and pursues it throughout the story. She is extremely high-profile, not the type to bide her time in the shadows.] [However, she does not seek attention for its own sake. She does not necessarily get involved in every situation, and everything she does is driven by how she will appear on camera. In other words, everyone puts their own interests first.] [The protagonist’s bottom line: She will not step on or use others to get ahead. Everyone should compete fairly and treat one another with kindness.]
