Book One by Shuang Manyi

After seven years together, Xu Zhi never got a proposal from her boyfriend. Instead, at the Golden Egret Awards for Best Actor, her actor boyfriend publicly cheated on her.

Lost in the pain of heartbreak, Xu Zhi was kicked by her best friend into an entertainment company on the verge of bankruptcy, where she was tasked with turning around a boy group so obscure it was practically off the charts. Faced with seven younger men, each with his own style and devastatingly handsome looks, Xu Zhi finally remembered her glorious past as a genius producer.

Turning around washed-up idols? That's her specialty! Hadn't she taken her ex from nobody to award-winning actor?

Xu Zhi puts her ex behind her and rolls up her sleeves. But the more she gets to work, the stranger things get. How is it that every one of these seven handsome guys is more of a schemer than the last?

The scheming lead vocalist: “Our brother has a third, fourth, fifth, and sixth. We've only got one big sis...”

The 188-centimeter rapper: “He won't give you his money, but we'll make plenty for you.”

The mixed-race youngest member: “We're younger than him.”

The sharp-tongued visual: “What do you even like about him? His face is as expired as his personality. He looks like Lego possessed by a ghost.”

The devious backing vocalist: “He takes up two characters in the phrase 'seeing a familiar scene and feeling moved.' He's an animal.”

Xu Zhi: “...”

You've all said everything. What am I supposed to say?
