From the Start, I Sing Rice Fragrance: How Could a Top-Tier Star Like Me Lose?

(The rating just came in, but it’ll go up later) “Crowned in gold, I’ll sail far with the stars!” Ye Liangchen transmigrated into the center position of a talent show lineup and debuted. After a year of success, he became a newly risen top-tier star and handsome young idol. Just as he was getting ready to enjoy life as a superstar, he was shocked to discover that he had awakened a “Career-Crash Comeback” System. [Ding! Host, one year from now, you’ll lose countless fans because of your poor acting, lack of singing ability, and general lack of talent. Your company will sideline you. Six months later, your career will crash after news breaks that your private life is a mess. Your company will seize the opportunity to sue you for compensation under your contract. As headlines flood the media, you’ll do everything you can to clear your name and pay off your debts. Twenty years later, after years of tireless effort, you’ll finally catch the person who spread the rumors and prove that you committed no crimes, though you did have a few moral failings. But by then, twenty years will have passed. You’ll have endured two decades of online abuse, and all your fans will have left. Even when the truth comes out, no one will care. Will you retire from show business for good, or seize this chance to make a comeback?] A career crash? Hadn’t I just become a newly risen top-tier star? A career crash because my private life is a mess? Wait, isn’t that perfectly normal for a top-tier star? [Host has chosen to make a comeback. Rewards: an acting script package, a singing skills package, and an instrumental music theory package!] What? I just became a top-tier young idol, and you’re giving me all these packages? Aren’t you turning me into the most powerful talent in the business?!!! And then there’s this. [Advanced Mission: Host must gain more than 100 true fans.] What? I’m a top-tier star with over a billion fans across the internet, and this is the mission you give me?
