From Drifter to Star: I Rewrite the Rules of Showbiz

[Entertainment + a bizarre System + talent takes on capital + poking fun at foreigners]

Zheng Yi transmigrates into the body of a wealthy nepo baby in a parallel world. He used to work in sales and dominate the karaoke mic, but now he encounters an unconventional System that turns out to be an AI causing trouble.

This world is chaotic, with characters and timelines that are all different.

There’s a livestreaming King Guo, an electrician King Liu, a security guard King Zhang, a sales office manager King Li, and female pop queens in all kinds of professions. I won’t spoil the details here.

Since this world is such a mess, it’s only fair that King Liu dances the horse-riding dance to “Gangnam Style,” right? And if King Guo’s “Romantic Cherry Blossoms” is the origin of square dancing, then surely it’s not too much for him to sing “Little Apple”... There are plenty more things that are just as reasonable.

Young heartthrobs have all kinds of mindless fans, but Zheng Yi’s fans are big shots from every industry.

Everyone thinks Zheng Yi needs to make money to pay off his debts, but Zheng Yi says, “I owe so much money, so my creditors are the ones who should be worried. My staying healthy and happy is what you all want most, so why are you in such a hurry?”

“I admit I owe the money. I’ll pay it back little by little. With so many kings and queens of pop as my sidekicks, how could I stay in debt?”

“When capital tries to strong-arm me, I just walk away. I’ll make music with people who share my dreams.”

In the end, the System turns out to be some inexplicable weirdo.
