Eight-Year-Old Cutie With a System: Winning Big in Entertainment, Step by Step

At the age of eight, Chen Xingran unexpectedly gained a golden finger that let him livestream incredible feats from the future entertainment industry. The inspiration points viewers tipped him could be exchanged for skills in writing, design, acting, and more. On the surface, he was a lollipop-chewing grade-schooler, but in reality, he was a super-genius admitted to a top university ahead of schedule. The story takes place in a near-future Huaguo, where livestreamers compete fiercely and traffic is everything. By previewing hit content to write novels and scripts, he quietly rose to fame. While everyone else chased trends, he used inspiration points to rewrite the rules of the industry. Xia Luoli adopted him and had him live with her, never realizing that this “little brother” was secretly helping her improve designs and avert crises. While everyone in showbiz fought over connections and resources, he relied on the System's previews to stay one step ahead. He had the future of variety shows, film, television, and fashion firmly in his grasp. While others stayed up all night drafting proposals, he coasted to victory and pretended to be clueless. From online novelist to king of variety shows, he played the pig to eat the tiger every step of the way. In the end, he shared the System with Xia Luoli, and together they became a husband-and-wife duo who could preview the future, leading trends for a decade without a rival. The Nobel Prize in Literature and an international lifetime achievement award in design were his for the taking. He smiled as he shut down the System. “My life hasn't needed a cheat for a long time.”
