   This is a variety show-themed story. The protagonist only glimpses the entertainment industry, never getting deeply involved, and is surrounded by high-achieving, academically gifted individuals or respected senior figures—all good people. The protagonist is an extreme athlete who, feeling lost, retires and then participates in variety shows to rediscover himself. Currently, I've written *Run for Time* and *The Evolution of the Forest*, with the most interaction likely involving the students and He Jiong. Later, I'll write about *Who's the Murderer*, *The Mystery of the Gods*, *The Celebrity Study*, *Back to Field*, *Divas Hit the Road*, *Unstoppable Blue*, and many more.
