The only things people online have to say about him are: leech, nuisance, nepotism hire, and useless pretty face. And the person he's become is himself from a parallel world. Normally, when you transmigrate, the first thing to do is preserve the original character's persona, then slowly change the public's opinion of them. That's 14.4kReads9.4Score1.9k14d adds

   The first book (talent show + protagonist's soul transmigration) is absolutely amazing! I've caught up with it all, it's so good! Some people might mistakenly think Sheng and Xie are a secondary couple and would steal the spotlight, but don't worry, there's no secondary couple after reading the whole thing, and they certainly won't steal the protagonist's spotlight. The second book (talent show + protagonist has a world champion identity) is also on par with it. It's a little angsty, but seeing Xiao Jiang makes me feel so good, sob sob. Xiao Jiang is so cute! The third book isn't a talent show, but it's about a boy band + protagonist's soul transmigration + protagonist used to be an actor. I really wanted to recommend it, so I included it. I was afraid that once I finished reading it, it would be gone, so I didn't read the last 30 chapters. I reread the earlier parts three times, it's incredibly good. I still can't get over "Ten Thousand Mountains." All the content is without romance, but if you want to ship them, you can't help but smile. And the protagonist is genuinely awesome, capable, charismatic, has good character, and everything is perfect.

Finally, during the third performance, ❤️ he stood up. ③ Romance. A protagonist who grows up in a boy band.

    It's a boy band story, an ensemble piece that's very enjoyable to read. The emotions are expressed naturally, and the characters aren't out of character (OOC). Unlike other stories that simply give you a title to show you how awesome someone is without explaining why, this one avoids that awful situation. Each member has a distinct and well-developed personality; you can immediately recall their past just by seeing their name, and there are no inconsistencies between the characters and the plot. This ensemble cast is just so satisfying!!!

    ① Shen Jiyue, exhausted both physically and mentally, is suddenly bound to the "Site Manager Godly Rich System." She receives high rewards for helping her idol increase popularity. Thus begins Shen Jiyue's idol-chasing journey. Offline support for Shen Jiyue & Shen Jixing, creating promotional images, establishing a site, and dominating large screens? These routine operations are nothing to Shen Jiyue, who possesses the Godly Rich System. Top directors in the industry, fashion endorsements, magazine covers, popular IP scripts, top-tier music composition, and S+ film and television resources—Shen Jixing can obtain anything she desires. ② He Yuchen, in the 20th year after transmigrating to a parallel world, commits suicide due to the combined effects of autism and PTSD. On his deathbed, the system, dormant for 20 years, suddenly revives. System: Participate in "Star River Youth," earning "love points" will cure you. Good luck, host! Arriving late for his first stage livestream, he uses his good looks to his advantage, stunning the audience with his original songs. [First Beauty Hand Card][Sexy Curvy Butt Card]…"Come on, tell me what these are?" "Host, looks are also part of being a star~" To survive, He Yuchen worked hard to earn popularity points, and unsurprisingly debuted as part of a group. System: Dear host, we are the "All-Round Star Development System"~ Okay, okay. But since we've formed a group, we'll never disband. Following Brother Chen will bring you good fortune. After that, any work he participated in would overwhelmingly dominate the charts, and movie box office and TV drama ratings records would be constantly broken. He became a yearly hot search champion. Later— "Holy crap, He Yuchen is actually my goddess's son!" "Damn, He Yuchen used to be a soldier! No wonder he has such a great physique!" "He's already on the table on his first stage, investing in him is definitely worthwhile (wiping nosebleed)."
