Lin Yu is an ordinary student from a small town who spends all her time studying. Through sheer hard work, she fulfills her dream of becoming a scientist who brings honor to her country.
She had planned to quietly devote the rest of her life to the lab, but one day she suddenly became bound to a "Top-Tier Star System." The more traffic she earned in the entertainment industry, the more future technology blueprints she could exchange for in the System.
Lin Yu looked at the blueprints in the shop, then turned around and entered the entertainment industry.
From then on:
"Lin Yu is an absolute workaholic! She's the hardest-working celebrity I've ever seen."
On set:
Her scene partner's lines were a complete mess, repeating 123321 over and over.
Without batting an eye, Lin Yu read the script three times and memorized every line. She even reminded her scene partner, "Sorry, I just wanted to point out that you missed four numbers in that line."
Her scene partner: "..."
On a knowledge quiz show:
The teams competed in groups. Facing an idol group famous for its erudition, Lin Yu carried four deadweights all the way to the final.
Director: "Hurry up and give them a hard question! Otherwise, people will think our questions are too easy."
"Director, we've already brought out our hardest question. Nobody on our production team knows anything harder."
Director: "..."
At last, Lin Yu got stuck in the final. Just as the production crew breathed a sigh of relief, she spoke up: "Sorry, could we pause for a moment? Is there something wrong with the wording of this question?"
Production crew: "???"
Lin Yu became an overnight sensation in the entertainment industry by crushing everyone with her intelligence, raising the standards of the entire industry through her efforts alone.
A crowd of celebrities with carefully crafted personas burst into tears: Please, big shot, hurry back to where you belong! Stop competing with us for our jobs. The entertainment industry can't take much more of this!
At the annual awards ceremony, Lin Yu won the top prize, but she was nowhere to be seen. The gossip accounts finally seized their chance to smear her: So she gets a little famous and starts acting like a diva. Even veteran actors show up in person, but she doesn't bother attending at all.
At the same time, a video went viral online.
At the Nobel Prize ceremony, Lin Yu appeared in formal attire, holding her trophy and smiling as she gave her speech. "It is a great honor to have the opportunity to stand here and speak..."
The whole country went wild!
○ Science and research + the entertainment industry. The protagonist racks up points in showbiz while keeping her head down and doing research.
○ Pure wish fulfillment, no real-life models, fictional setting. Don't read too much into it.
○ The male lead is just a background character and isn't part of the entertainment industry.
Theme: Who says only those standing in the spotlight can be heroes?
