Blurb:

Before You Read:

[Writing a novel is hard work. The full story costs just one cup of milk tea, so please support the official release.]

[The heroine's career is the main focus!!!]

[The male lead is already decided: Kwon Jiyong.]

[A System will appear in the story, but it has little page time and won't be very prominent.]

The heroine is Kim Miso, a Korean girl who lives in Ulsan. Despite her name meaning “smile,” she's actually a little sourpuss. She has an older brother who excels in both character and ability, and her parents have high hopes for him. Kim Miso, with her plain looks, even bordering on ugly, is the defective one in the family, destined to never receive love.

At home, Kim Miso is treated as if she doesn't exist. At school, she has a little popularity, which is rare, but not the kind she wants. The clique led by Park Siyeon treats her like an errand girl. They often forget to pay her back when she buys things for them, and Miso has to use her allowance to cover the shortfall.

Most of Kim Miso's short sixteen years have been gray. Sometimes she finds herself wondering: Is this really even living?

Then, on her seventeenth birthday, she summoned the courage to wish that she would no longer be ordinary, and that she could become someone who shines.

“Ding! Your Beauty Exchange System is now online.” A sudden electronic voice rang out in Kim Miso's head. She froze for a moment, then screamed and fainted. Her last thought before blacking out was that she must have finally gone crazy.

A Note Before Reading: The heroine starts out insecure. After all, she's always been an unnoticed, ordinary person. Getting the System won't suddenly make her confident; she's a heroine who grows over time.

From longing for other people's love to learning to love herself. Miso, every step you take is hard-won, and every step counts.

The girl group the heroine debuts in is fictional. The overall setting is the Korean entertainment industry, and real-life groups will also appear.

The heroine will date, but if anything feels uncomfortable in a relationship, she'll end it immediately. She's fiercely career-minded. Her brother-in-law is the lovestruck one who likes showing off his relationship.

“Debuting in a Boy Group”

In her previous life, Lin Lin was a diligent corporate drone.

She never expected to be replaced at work by a greasy nepo-baby!

Looking at the greasy nepo-baby who had taken her position, honest Lin Lin lost her temper for the first time. When will society love me as much as it loves men?

After spending three days writing a script and working herself into a fury, Lin Lin abruptly fainted and respawned in neighboring South Korea.

But in this life, she was a man. Oh my god, just because I said this world loves men doesn't mean I actually want to become one!

Reborn Lin Lin watched elementary school kids attend cram school until midnight and fell into deep thought…

She decided to find another way forward,

so she joined a company that paid its employees social insurance and housing fund contributions and offered a cushy retirement (not really), crossed that out, an entertainment company, and became a top star.

She'd become the kind of person she'd envied and resented more than anyone in her past life!

Lin Lin vowed to work hard and give every girl who loved pop idols the most secure place to call home. Uh, boys too.

In front of countless girls, he was a god-tier idol who delivered the ultimate fan experience.

When faced with unmotivated bandmates, he came down hard on them.

He poured cold water on his bandmates' relationships, rolled his eyes when they scolded fans, and made pointed remarks when the company treated them unfairly. Fans called him the fair-minded judge of idols.

#Fictional setting, parallel world, inspired by the Korean entertainment industry

#No fan affiliations. Please don't take this personally.

#Female-to-male transformation, slightly morally dubious. Who says men can't play mind games?

#The protagonist is a mature adult shaped by society. After joining the company and realizing no one there is normal, he evolves into a scheming, inwardly twisted little tea-drinker

Theme: From longing for love to loving yourself
