I'm a Little Too Lucky

Blurb Si Ning is a notorious nobody in showbiz. Even the hottest opportunities can't make a splash for her, and her company gradually sidelines her. When they put together a group to send their new recruits to the 101 audition show and find themselves one member short, they finally remember her and ask her to fill in at the last minute. Unexpectedly, the newcomers don't become famous, but she does. On the night she turns eighteen, Si Ning has a dream. A little sprite tells her that she lives inside a book, and that the book's great villain has had a miserable life: born with an illness, he lost his hearing after a high fever at age ten, then developed cancer at eighteen. He has survived on medication until the age of twenty-two, but now has only a few months left to live. If Si Ning is willing to bring warmth to him, the sprite can grant her a tiny bit of luck. Si Ning agrees, and from then on her life is like she's got a cheat code. Whatever she wants, she gets. She is assigned to the worst group in the audition show, where they must compete against the popular powerhouse team. Everyone is discouraged. Si Ning: It's okay. We can make a comeback and beat the popular team. Teammate: Don't even think about it. We've got no chance. Later, Si Ning leads her teammates to a stunning comeback, breaking through to fame. They not only beat the popular team, but also become the most popular act and take first place. Every teammate who competed with her makes it into the top ranks, too. Si Ning doesn't forget to bring warmth to the great villain. She even learns sign language, hoping to comfort him through the little things. When they first meet, Si Ning earnestly signs to him. Su Yu asks the assistant behind him, "Can deaf people be celebrities now?" Si Ning: ... Is that really polite? Theme: Strive for a better life and become a self-reliant, independent woman of the new era.
