[Upcoming novel: The Side Character Saves the World on the Way and Becomes Famous. Please add it to your favorites!]

After transmigrating to ancient times, Chu Qi discovers that he has become the spoiled heir of the Prince Regent.

His father holds immense power and controls everything. The emperor has grown strong enough to rule in his own right. However you look at it, this is a recipe for disaster.

He plans to keep his head down and act cautiously, but the System in his mind, which hasn't left him alone even after he transmigrated, starts assigning him another mission:

Your goal is to create the first ancient boy band to take the world by storm!

Chu Qi: "..."

Fine. You lot can fight over the throne. I'll start a boy band, and all I care about is popularity.

Musicians from the capital? You're on vocals. A graceful bodyguard? You're the perfect dancer! A prince from a foreign land? You must be great at rapping in foreign languages! And we've got a shy male courtesan, a cool and aloof swordsman, a cute and useless young master... My group will debut any day now!

Until...

"We're looking for someone with exceptional looks and top-tier skills, who draws everyone's attention the moment he appears, to fill the... What position? Center? Isn't that obviously me?"

Rising through the ranks amid swirling intrigue, Chu Qi: I'm serious about starting a boy band!

Sickly, blood-spitting, manipulative top x all-around capable, career-first bottom

Tips:

1. The top is the emperor. He has consorts, but no romantic entanglements or children.

2. There's a little bit of fantasy.

Qiu Mian is a C-list actor who has played minor male supporting roles time and again. He has delicate features, average acting skills, and a quiet, unremarkable personality. The only thing that stands out is that he's often late or leaves early.

But he can't help it. Qiu Mian is always rushing between shoots, busy saving the world.

When night falls, only a tiny number of people know that the dream world has become connected to reality. Any dream could spiral out of control and become the trigger for the world's destruction.

People who can remain themselves, calm and clearheaded within dreams are called "dreamwalkers." They suppress their emotions and keep their thinking cool and rational, constantly traveling through people's dreams to fight against the evil, greed, desire, and fear magnified countless times within them.

After years of dreamwalking, Qiu Mian has become adept at handling many different kinds of dreams: eliminating "monsters" born from fear; eradicating "human disasters" left behind by domestic violence, molestation, and bullying; and stopping "imaginary calamities" capable of causing equal devastation in the real world.

As he dreams more and more often, Qiu Mian discovers... that he seems to have made a deep impression on many people's subconscious without even realizing it.

"I randomly started watching a web drama and immediately felt a connection with the third male lead! It's like I've seen him in a dream."

"I had a nightmare about the sky falling, the earth splitting, floods, and hurricanes. Then Mianmian came slicing through the air and the waves to save everyone. Sob, he was so cool..."

"I can die happy now. I dreamed that my ship did it (palms together)."

Until one day, someone breaks through the darkness and tears through the abyss, casually taking his hand. "I've come to save you."
