Figure Skating: I Could Never Be That Useless Pretty Boy!

Ling Ran transmigrated into a cannon-fodder pretty boy in a feel-good entertainment-industry novel. The original owner was useless at his job and recklessly relied on his stunning looks to court disaster, hoping to make a meteoric rise by stepping on the male lead and his love interest. Instead, he became the catalyst for the couple's relationship, got relentlessly face-slapped by them, and was eventually run over and killed by an obsessive CP fan. After transmigrating, the former figure skater Ling Ran discovered he was taking part in a trainee selection program: ...? Feeling his new body's perfect flexibility and 100% compatibility with figure skating, he looked baffled. With conditions this good, why play a villainous pretty boy when he could win an Olympic gold medal? If he'd had a body like this in his past life, why would he have spent years coming in second? He could have raked in gold medals! Ling Ran immediately packed his bags, quit the variety show, and headed straight for the rink. The haters rejoiced: The useless pretty boy is finally gone! His fellow trainees gloated jealously: You think you can become famous on looks alone? Dream on! Everyone thought Ling Ran would disappear without a trace. But not long afterward, at the World Junior Championships, Four Continents Championships, Grand Prix, World Championships, and even the Olympics, the same black-haired, dark-eyed Chinese skater kept appearing atop the men's singles podium. The pure, untamable ice trembled and surrendered beneath his blades. He was a dancing sprite, a passionate wanderer, a king who ruled the world! The name Ling Ran spread across the globe, becoming synonymous with the skating world's great demon king. In that world of ice and snow, people of every hair color, age, and nationality willingly bowed their heads and called him Fire King, the Flame God. The fellow trainees who had once excluded him watched with envy in their eyes. The audience and fans who had once looked down on him were left red-faced, yet they scrambled to kneel and sing his praises with screams and fervor, crowning their new god. * The sound of blades striking the ice Is a love and faith that never ends I would spend my whole life in pursuit So our bright red flag may always fly at the very top of the arena -- Ling Ran You chase the ice and snow, while I came for you. -- Huo Wenze [Reading Guide] 1. Ling Ran is the ultimate Mary Sue. This is a plot-driven, feel-good story focused on building a career. Both leads are virgins, and it has a happy ending. 2. The recipient is the world's strongest figure skater. The gong is a powerhouse in another field; neither one outranks the other. 3. No real-life models, and there are original headcanons. The quality of the choreographed programs can be seen in Chapter 10. 4. There are two competitions before the story goes premium. The entertainment-industry storyline ends within the first three premium chapters. The haters will not be redeemed. (You don't need to tell me if you drop the story. Characters act according to their own logic. I do not accept writing advice.) 5. Please don't repeatedly or excessively recommend other authors' books in the comments. Ling Ran is Ling Ran, one of a kind. He deserves a story of his own. Theme: Sports embody beauty, art, justice, courage, honor, joy, vitality, progress, and peace.
