[Transmigration] [Strong Female Lead] [Wish Fulfillment] [Ensemble Cast] [Coming-of-Age]
On the eve of her media company's collapse, its boss Qin Zhaoye transmigrates along with all her artists.
The good news: They've landed in a prosperous dynasty where nobody has to worry about food or clothing, and everyone has money and free time.
The bad news: This lousy dynasty is prosperous in every way except entertainment hasn't been invented yet. Apart from the music houses, the wealthy and powerful across the capital are sitting on mountains of gold with nowhere to spend it.
Qin Zhaoye slaps her thigh. “Here's our chance.”
She has the ready-made Huamanlou restaurant under her management and lays down one ironclad rule: They sell performances, not their bodies.
While others sing little tunes, she launches idol auditions. While others write romances about talented scholars and beautiful women, she writes idol dramas. While others scramble to please the powerful, she has every girl in the capital vote for her artists and boost their rankings.
Tickets to her shows are selling for a hundred taels of silver, and people are practically trampling down Huamanlou's doors.
Later, she puts together a boy band with a coming-of-age concept. The moment the boys step onstage, half the young women and wives in the audience go wild.
The emperor can no longer sit still and comes to ask in person: “Boss Qin, I want to invest.”
Qin Zhaoye holds up a finger. “Sure. We split it three to seven, you get three and I get seven.”
There may be no trending topics in ancient times, but her artists are on the lips of the capital's people every day.
In this life, she plans to turn the entire dynasty into a fan-voting venue for her stars, both the older sisters and the older brothers.
