This Isn't How a Talent Show Is Supposed to Go

Wu Yuexi probably used up all her luck when she was born.

She trained in dance for ten years and fell on her face for ten years. After all that, she was still a nobody.

Other people build up their skills before breaking through. She just built up her hairline.

Ten years later, the only thing that had grown was her age. Her follower count was even more consistent than her three-digit bank balance.

Just as she'd given up hope and was ready to quit, a call from her company pulled her back in.

She just had to accompany the heir, make up the numbers, and get eliminated in the first round.

And so Wu Yuexi was stuffed into the luggage for Produce 100 and tagged as a "freebie."

She was a minor nobody who'd be edited out anyway, so she might as well do whatever made her happy!

Once Wu Yuexi let loose, she called out the fake sweethearts, beat up a mentor, and flirted with her roommate.

But things seemed to be taking a strange turn.

She called out a fake sweetheart, and the viewers applauded. Her popularity soared.

She beat up a mentor, and he was exposed as a total fraud and disappeared from the industry.

As for flirting with her roommate, that was purely an accident!

When you see a gorgeous woman with a frosty expression, isn't it only natural to tease her a little?!

But why had her roommate started asking when they were going to make their relationship official and meet each other's families?

Something was definitely off here!

He Qizhou was the company's great hope, a versatile ACE with a ruthless competitive streak who'd risen above the competition in South Korea.

She didn't believe a competition show could have any warmth, and she didn't believe there was such a thing as friendship in the entertainment industry.

She was ambitious, and her only goal was the center position.

But there was something different about her roommate.

When a fake sweetheart set a trap for her, her roommate stepped in first and stood up for her.

When a sleazy mentor harassed her by slipping her a hotel room key, her roommate kicked him before she could.

When the pressure of public criticism and slander became unbearable, her roommate found her on the rooftop and kissed away her tears.

For the first time, He Qizhou wavered. Could there really be sincere friendship in the entertainment industry?

Later, when the fans shipping them came right up to her, her roommate casually replied, "Sure. Let's get married."

She quietly checked the almanac over and over.

The fans of this season's idol competition are eating well.

Produce 100 came out of nowhere and became a massive hit.

Want a story arc?

There's an underdog from Class F making a comeback, a laid-back slacker turning into a heaven-sent star;

a beautiful, tragic, all-around ACE face-slapping the rigged favorites and defeating the powers behind the scenes;

and two equally formidable rivals, both confidantes and enemies, meeting at the summit at dawn.

Want couples?

There's starlight shining bright, and I'm the one who follows you;

a glacier melting, with a smile for you alone;

and, best of all, the roommate romance of "Sister, you smell so good."
