He was then packaged into a talent show and debuted as the center (double lead!). Second book: After returning to China, the male lead, Chu Yu, became the 100th contestant on the talent show because of its promise of room and board, and debuted as the center, transforming from an all-around idol into an all-around entertainer (single lead). [Heart emoji] Third book: The male lead was too lazy, so his mother directly packaged him into a trainee at TN, embarking on a path of being pampered by the company and fans.
