The Limited-Edition Boy Group

After the college entrance exams, Lu Yu gained memories of another life in a dream. He'd planned to take that knowledge and live out a quiet, uneventful life, but an unexpected experiment sent him down a different path.

He joined China's first boy-group survival show expecting to be eliminated in the first round, but somehow ended up making the debut lineup. Along the way, he was lucky enough to meet a group of warmhearted friends.

"As long as you're by my side, I'm not afraid of anything."

"Maybe we'll eventually go our separate ways, but until then, we'll always be one."

A story about a sunny, easygoing boy who had planned to live a peaceful life, making his debut in a boy group and encouraging his friends to move forward together.

Please note:

1. The story begins with a boy-group survival show, and nine members debut. The author has never been part of the entertainment industry or followed idols, so I don't know much and will write things as I imagine them. Just assume it's an alternate universe.

2. It includes a "plagiarist" element: songs from the real world exist in another world, so there are no copyright issues. If that's not your thing, please don't read!

3. The songs featured are generally pop songs the author likes. They'll be chosen to suit the plot, not to deliberately use old hits to boost popularity. My music library is pretty small, so I'd love recommendations from anyone who doesn't mind.

4. The male lead is a warmhearted guy, an excellent vocalist, an average rapper, and a terrible dancer. He's working hard to improve. He's adored by the whole group, but probably won't be the center.

Theme: The boy group is temporary, but our friendship isn't.
