I'm a Top-Tier Star, and I'm Back in the Audition Show Again

Jiang Zhouyu is a wildly famous top-tier star, with popularity and controversy in equal measure, traffic and awards to his name, and a life of endless glory. His career comes to an abrupt end after an accident leaves him permanently paralyzed. Five years later, he opens his eyes and finds himself transmigrated into a melodramatic danmei novel about a boy-band audition show. He's become the vicious cannon fodder who frames everyone indiscriminately. The System drones on: If you want your legs back, you have to redeem the villain. While he's being attacked by the whole internet, bullied and tormented by you, and at the lowest point of his life, show him care, seduce him, cling to him relentlessly, and shamelessly throw yourself at him... Lower his blackening value so he no longer wants to destroy the world! Jiang Zhouyu: Although romance is the main focus, the basic setting of this story is still an audition show, right? System: ...So? Jiang Zhouyu: I'll help the villain debut in the center position, putting him at the peak of this world's fortune. He'll have everything he wants, and the world will be bound to him. Why would he still need to destroy it? System: …6. And so Jiang Zhouyu diligently sets out to help the villain build his career. The villain thinks becoming an idol is humiliating and has no interest in singing or dancing in a boy band. Jiang Zhouyu uses reverse psychology and leads by example, encouraging him until the villain finally takes the stage and shines. After the performance, Jiang Zhouyu wins the “Audience's Favorite Trainee” award. Jiang Zhouyu: ? The villain is ostracized, slandered, and framed with fake scandals. Jiang Zhouyu tries everything to clear his name. Whoever mocks or bullies the villain, Jiang Zhouyu curses one out for every one who comes, and takes on two for every pair. After the variety show ends, Jiang Zhouyu's witty remarks are compiled into a video. It gets a hundred thousand reposts on Weibo, and “Jiang Zhouyu's savage comebacks are hilarious!” tops the trending list. Jiang Zhouyu: ?? Elimination is imminent, and the villain desperately needs more popularity to stay in the competition. Jiang Zhouyu lives by the principle that “if you don't ship a couple on an audition show, it will fade into obscurity sooner or later.” He treats the villain with extraordinary tenderness in front of the cameras, even throwing himself at him. He's willing to do anything to make their CP take off. After the show airs, the villain's popularity rises, and so does the popularity of his CP with Jiang Zhouyu. Their trending topic shoots to the top, and the fans wail, “Jiang Zhouyu, you have to debut in the center position!” Jiang Zhouyu: ...??? As everything spirals out of control, Jiang Zhouyu is close to breaking down. “Do you even remember who the real love interests are? I'm just cannon fodder! All I want is to stop the villain from turning evil and help him win the favor of the god of success!” The now-blackened villain, who wields power and has trampled the original love interests beneath his feet, kisses him from behind and murmurs in a low, tender voice, “Aren't you my god of success?” Jiang Zhouyu: ...In a way, I guess the mission is complete =_,= The CP is Duan Ying x Jiang Zhouyu.

It's complete and ready to read~! My upcoming story: “Someone Stole My Picture to Date Online. Who Does the Match Belong To?” Little-known dance streamer Yu Ning gets unexpected good news: Xu Xingyuan, a top-tier star, rich second-generation celebrity, and big-time online influencer, wants to fake a CP with him. Yu Ning looks down and sees a new friend request on WeChat from “Xu Xingyuan.” “Hi.” Yu Ning: ? Xu Xingyuan: Your friend used your picture to date me online. Yu Ning: ... #Someone used my photo to date online. Is that person my friend's match or mine?# Yu Ning has had enough anti-fraud education to know better, and is about to refuse. Then the other person adds, “I'm short a partner for the annual championship. Come with me and I'll split the prize money with you.” You can't really blame him. ...Xu Xingyuan is offering too much. * Two years ago, Xu Xingyuan went looking for the love at first sight he'd fallen for, only to be scammed by someone using a single photo. He crossed the entire city in one night, only to discover he'd made a fool of himself. Now the scammer has the nerve to come back, claiming that his beloved is actually a friend of theirs... Seeing the dance streamer on the screen, bundled up in a hat and mask, Xu Xingyuan thinks: So you've come back with a new face, huh? If I don't destroy you this time, I'm a dog! He decides that this time he'll hide a knife behind his smile, take the despicable Yu Ning to the top, then make him fall hard, all to get revenge for what happened back then! Xu Xingyuan teams up with Yu Ning to livestream. He deliberately makes Yu Ning do a vulgar, sexually suggestive dance as a PK penalty, but Yu Ning keeps a cold expression as he sways his hips so provocatively that the viewers blush. For the championship, Xu Xingyuan puts Yu Ning in the popularity contest, expecting to see him embarrass himself. In the end, Xu Xingyuan can't hold back and uses his alternate account to become the top donor. At the in-person award ceremony, they stay at the same hotel. When Xu Xingyuan sees Yu Ning being shoved into the pool by a hater, he jumps in after him before he can even think. * When the “Garden Party CP” first started gaining traction, some people gleefully spread rumors that Xu Xingyuan had once laughed and said, “Don't worry. Playing with him is like playing with a dog.” Later, “Garden Party” becomes the site's hottest topic of the year, overflowing with sweet moments and swarming with CP fans. His solo fans frantically ask Xu Xingyuan what is going on, and he replies, “...Leave it. I have my own rhythm.” * Yu Ning knows his own personality. To put it nicely, he's emotionally stable. To put it less nicely, he's gentle and aloof, and always goes with the flow. He's never met anyone he thought worth caring about, or anything worth getting worked up over. That is, until Xu Xingyuan bursts into his life, accusing him of a hundred different things a day: “You lied to me,” “You don't care about me,” “Poor Tom, you had him wrapped around your little finger!!”... “I didn't.” Yu Ning experiences for the first time what it feels like to laugh in exasperation. But when he meets Xu Xingyuan's beautiful, dark eyes, almost hot enough to catch fire, he changes his answer. “...But do you want to find out?” Rich, tsundere, stubborn young seme x emotionally stable dance streamer uke. Theme: Sincerity is the path to the world.
