A Has-Been Joins a Dating Show to Help Her Little Brother Rise to Fame

After her parents divorced, Zhuo Ningyi worked part-time at a coffee shop and sang on the street to support her younger brother’s education. Later, her figure earned her an invitation to shoot a magazine cover, giving her a ticket into the entertainment industry. But she had a habit of speaking her mind, and with no connections or resources, she spent three years in the business as a complete nobody. Her younger brother, Zhuo Jingqi, wrote a hit song, only to be attacked with a barrage of smear campaigns by a rival. His company refused to clear his name and even helped the rival fabricate evidence. As a result, almost no one paid attention to Zhuo Jingqi’s attempts to set the record straight. Unable to bear seeing her brother’s talent buried, Zhuo Ningyi heard her agent say that dating shows were a fast track to fame. With a grand wave of her hand, she signed the contract on the spot. On the dating show, she threw herself into being unapologetically herself. Her agent had expected her to become famous for all the wrong reasons, but instead, she gained a huge number of genuine fans, including fans who shipped her with Professor Gu Qinglin. Without her having to recommend him, Zhuo Jingqi’s popularity quickly soared thanks to the attention his sister got from the dating show. He made a complete comeback.
