Who let this nobody into a survival show? They let any talentless hack compete now?】 【LOL, can't wait for Jiang Xingcan to be the sacrificial lamb from the start!】 But during the first-stage performance recording Jiang Xingcan stepped into the center of the stage beneath the spotlights. With a face fit for a god of beauty and the corners of his eyes tilted just so, he casually winked and sent countless face-connoisseurs tumbling headfirst into the fandom. The music began, and his original song-and-dance performance flowed like water. The mentors couldn't stop praising him. Then, during the bonus round, his improvised rap set the whole venue on fire! The other contestants looked ashen. ...Wasn't he supposed to be a sacrificial extra? He's a max-level boss slaughtering everyone in the beginner village!!! . Jiang Xingcan, the hottest virtual idol in the anime world, opened his eyes and found himself at a real-world talent show, as a trainee destined to be sacrificed from the start. The director patted his shoulder. “Don't be nervous. You'll be eliminated in the first round anyway.” He quietly looked toward the first-stage performances. The other contestants were going off-key, lip-syncing badly, slacking off, and fishing for sympathy. Hardly any of them were performing seriously. Then he looked down and thought about the words coded into his original programming: “Respect the fans” and “Love the stage.” He asked the director softly, “Um... could I try just a little harder?” Later Fans: “Who dares eliminate CanCan? We'll work ourselves to the bone and put him in the center spot!” Rival survival shows: “Please sacrifice him already! We've got a seat waiting for him on our mentor panel!” Idol agencies: “With talent like that, why compete on a survival show? Sign with us and you'll be a top-tier star within two years!” -Xingcan: a dazzling star-filled future. -Weibo: @SanwuShiMengdianhhh -A no-CP story in the same series, How to Raise a Genius Idol, is available to pre-save.

With no other options, the production team randomly picked an over-the-hill child star to fill in. The news made netizens furious: 【Liu Junyi? That nobody who played a young emperor for three episodes at age ten and then vanished without a trace?】 【LOL, can't wait for the has-been to get eliminated in the first round. His sacrificial role is locked in!】 To make the sacrifice as dramatic as possible, the production team gave Liu Junyi the hardest role in the first round: a fallen prince whose closest family had betrayed him, whose family had been destroyed, and who had fallen from the clouds into the mud. Everyone was waiting for him to embarrass himself, but... As the camera moved closer, Liu Junyi didn't break down and sob hysterically. He slowly lifted his eyes. A tear hovered at the corner of his eye, not yet falling, as a cruel smile curved his lips. His hatred had sunk to the bone, but his pride remained unbroken. He was unmistakably a fallen prince who had clawed his way out of a mountain of corpses and sea of blood. The other contestants went pale. ...Wasn't he supposed to be an over-the-hill child star? This is an actual movie emperor from another dimension, crushing us with his skills!!! . Liu Junyi had won every major international award, but died young. When he opened his eyes again, he was a nobody, a sacrificial extra so irrelevant he might as well have fallen through the earth. The director gave him a perfunctory pat. “Just act however you like. They'll cut all your scenes in post anyway.” Liu Junyi watched the others onstage. They forgot their lines, fake-cried for the camera, couldn't get into character, and kept ruining takes. Hardly any of them were performing seriously. Then he thought of all those sleepless nights in his past life, pouring his heart and soul into every role. He asked the director politely, “Um... could I polish a couple of lines in the script?” Later Viewers: “There's hope for the entertainment industry after all! That performance made the original leading man look like nothing!” Director: “Why are you still doing acting variety shows? Pick any S+ leading-man drama from my desk!” Screenwriter: “What kind of role do you want, sir? I'll write a script just for you right now!!!” -The next danmei story, The Real Young Master and the Fake Young Master Fall in Love, is coming soon. Please add it to your list! Synopsis: Lin Qixue is a sickly young man, too frail to look after himself. His adoptive family killed his parents and stole their inheritance. His younger brother even stole his fiancée, yet Lin Qixue could only endure it all. No one knew that from the age of twelve, Lin Qixue had quietly kept track of every dirty deed his adoptive parents had committed and everyone they had offended. Call him evil by nature or deep and calculating, if you like. He knew exactly how to ruin his adoptive parents' reputations, turn his younger brother's allies against him, and leave them all dead in gruesome ways. After enduring it for ten years, he was ready to act Before he could put his plan into motion, he had a dream. It turned out this world was a novel about a wealthy family doting on their beloved child. His younger brother was the chosen protagonist, and he was the sinister, twisted villain. In the dream, he did indeed take action. His adoptive parents killed themselves by burning charcoal. His younger brother died in agony, his face horribly contorted. Everything that had once been stolen from Lin Qixue returned to him. He accepted it all with a smile, completely unharmed and without a speck of dust on his clothes. Then the eldest brother, who had existed only in the family's stories, came home. He saw right through Lin Qixue's disguise. Lin Qixue lost to him without the slightest chance to fight back, and everything crumbled to dust in an instant. After waking, Lin Qixue sat on the bed for a while, then smiled silently. In the dream, he lost because he underestimated his eldest brother and didn't understand how terrifying he was. But now he knew! All he had to do was endure and pretend to be obedient, find his weakness, and strike a fatal blow. If Lin Qixue could fool the whole world, he could fool his eldest brother too. On the day his eldest brother returned, Lin Qixue lifted his pale face, his eyes reddened and moist at the corners. He coughed, his shoulders trembling, like a delicate flower that would break in the wind. “Brother, Qixue missed you so much...” . The god-tier author Lin Tingbai had written every kind of trope imaginable when he suddenly transmigrated into a melodramatic novel about a wealthy family doting on their beloved child. He had become the protagonist's eldest brother. Bored, he flipped through the plot. The real and fake young masters fighting over the same man, a love triangle, a dramatic showdown... All right, next page. On the next page, the delicate flower picked up a knife. Lin Tingbai sat up straight. Cruel, vicious, evil by nature: none of those descriptions were too much for the delicate flower. But he was so beautiful, holding the knife, smiling as he plunged his fingers into a wound. His cruel beauty pierced Lin Tingbai's eyes and lodged itself in his mind. Lin Tingbai eagerly flipped ahead, then suddenly froze as if struck by lightning: “Lin Tingbai imprisoned Lin Qixue in a lightless room. He personally chose the golden cage and fastened the chains himself.” Ah, the golden-caged canary plot. And he was one of the leads, along with the delicate flower. After a brief silence, Lin Tingbai ran his tongue over his suddenly itchy teeth and immediately ordered his assistant, “Book a flight. I'm going home.” . The day they met, Lin Qixue smiled with heartbreaking innocence and softly called him “Brother.” Lin Tingbai's teeth began to itch. His teeth grazed the side of Lin Qixue's neck as he whispered in his ear: “Hello, darling.” Theme: Keep an optimistic and positive attitude.
