Reborn, I Became Famous Again Through a Talent Show

Coming soon: The Little Prince Sent Away for a Political Marriage. Please add it to your collection~ Yu Yu was hailed as the last great beauty of the late twentieth century. The day after winning the Golden Oriole Award, he died in a plane crash. When he opened his eyes again, he was eighteen years in the future, reborn in the body of Yu Ziyu, the simple-minded young heir of a media dynasty. The world had changed dramatically over those eighteen years. The entertainment industry was nothing like it used to be. Smartphones, advanced internet, Weibo and livestreams at your fingertips, and one talent competition after another left reborn Yu Yu eager to give it all a try. When Yu Ziyu first stepped onto the stage of the singing reality show Sounds of Heaven, the mentors' eyes lit up at the sight of him. Hey, little brother, are you sure you're on the right show? The boy band competition is next door. Yu Ziyu: ...I'm in the right place. I'm here to be a singer! After Yu Ziyu became famous with one song on a singing reality show, where both the mentors and audience agreed he should have joined a boy band competition instead, he joined the curious cast of Boy Band Training Plan as a trainee. Trainee 1: I know him. Before he joined Sounds of Heaven, he modeled for a studio. He was so good-looking that the whole internet was looking for him. The mentors on Sounds of Heaven even suggested he try a boy band competition. I can't believe he actually came. Trainee 2: I've watched his clips. He's an amazing singer. I'm doomed, the pressure is on. Trainee 3: That's it? He's just good-looking, can sing, and can play piano. This isn't a campus singing competition. He can't rap or dance, and he has no variety-show skills. He'll definitely be eliminated in the second round. To everyone's surprise, Yu Ziyu could dance as well as sing. He took the center spot with the highest vote count in the first stage, and one after another, the trainees shamelessly clung to the all-round ACE Yu Ziyu, begging to join his team. On the show, Yu Ziyu was like a max-level expert returning to a beginner's village. With the formidable idol skills he'd honed twenty years earlier, he led the trainees through challenge after challenge, winning the unanimous approval of his teammates and sparking a retro trend. Men and women, young and old, all became his fans. After the show ended, popular contestant Yu Ziyu continued working under his own name. He released albums, acted, and appeared on variety shows. With his outstanding professional skills, he quickly rose to fame and became the new top-tier star, known to fans everywhere as the nation's little brother. Fans: Little brother, I'm yours! Former teammates: Little brother, I'm yours too! The nation's ideal husband, Huo Yue: None of you can. @Yu Ziyu is mine. Audience, delighted: Yoooo~ Literary version of the blurb: When Huo Yue was young, he found a boy on campus who had been soaked by the rain. He took him home and cared for him personally, taught him piano, and stayed by his side as he became famous. But before Huo Yue could confess his secret love, they were separated by death. Eighteen years later, that boy appeared in his life once more, lighting it up again. This novel is also titled You Are the Joy I Lost and Found Again. Couple: Huo Yue, an older, lovesick pursuer who is cold to everyone else but tender to the one he loves, x Yu Ziyu, a sunny and lovable, universally adored idol who is a little bit of a heartthrob. [Before You Read]: The person on the cover is the one being pursued! 1. Older pursuer, both virgins. They had a mutual secret crush in their previous lives. The one being pursued is reborn, and the pursuer is twenty years older than him after his rebirth. 2. Before the one being pursued was reborn, the original body's owner was a fool with no self-awareness. The talent-show plot begins much later. The protagonist joins the boy band competition out of curiosity, not because he wants to debut in a group, and he never asks his fans to vote for him. His fans vote for him solely to help him take first place, not to make him debut in a boy band! [Important!] 3. A parallel world, with countries, cities, and time periods only loosely based on reality. None of the characters are based on real people!
