Years as a Nobody Made Me a Tough Guy: I Strike Back in Showbiz

Cao Mu transmigrates to a parallel world and becomes a young heartthrob guest on the show Blooming Youth. The program is supposed to feature handsome young men in the bloom of youth. But Cao Mu awakens the Tough Guy Persona System, so while the other pretty boys show off their looks, sing, dance, rap, and play basketball... On the first day of the live broadcast, Cao Mu becomes a champion swimmer and rescues a girl from a raging river. On the second day, he chokes out a wild boar and saves the tourists at an RV campsite. On the third day, he deadlifts a minivan with his bare hands. On the fourth day, he stands his ground against an off-road vehicle plowing into a crowd. On the fifth day, he saves a hundred people from a fire. While the other pretty boys sing, dance, play basketball, and pull strings to win music festival medals, Cao Mu earns awards for bravery from cities across the country, a Best Young Person award, and the annual Gold Award for Touching China. Eventually, the media start calling him, “The man who had stone welded to his body,” and “The man who had an accelerator welded beneath his foot,” while others cry, “Tough guy, please stop! You’re leaving the pretty boys with no way to survive!”
