Blurb:

Rising starlet Xu Qian rushes to marry Cheng Fengren, a rich young man who has loved her for years, to fulfill her ailing grandmother's wish.

To Xu Qian, their marriage is a fair transaction: she gets a grandson-in-law her grandmother approves of, and he gets the woman he has always loved.

But can love ever be fair?

An unconventional "marriage first, love later" story: they marry, but the heroine never falls in love.

An unconventional "possessive pursuit": the hero is the only one struggling with his feelings.

Main couple, tragic ending: an actress at the height of her career × a devoted heir from a wealthy family

Secondary couple, happy ending: an optimistic, energetic talent agent × a composed, scheming assistant

[Key Points for Reading The Idol Handbook]

1. An ensemble story. Everyone is focused on their careers, and there's barely even any brotherly affection, so there's nothing to ship.

2. The heroine has a convenient partner. They don't have a romantic relationship, and even if they did, she'd only be using him.

3. The young idols are flawed, but real. Starting from Chapter 28, they're all on the verge of getting canceled. The heroine's job is to reinforce their defenses and help them rebuild after a scandal.

4. Plot-focused. Each event is covered briefly, and things move quickly. There are no detailed accounts of the audition process. They debut smoothly, without suspense. For now, there are no plans to include variety shows or dramas within the story, and if they do appear, they'll be covered in a single chapter.

Blurb:

Once upon a time, there was an easygoing fan girl who succeeded at everything she tried. Her name was Ning Wei.

Then she met Su Shanni, an entertainment mogul who feared nothing and could do anything.

On a starry night, Su Shanni declared that Ning Wei was a once-in-a-generation star, then sweet-talked and tricked her into signing a "contract of servitude".

Ning Wei: I don't have any connections!

Su Shanni: I do.

Ning Wei: I don't have any resources!

Su Shanni: I'll get you some.

Ning Wei takes her kindergarten-class boy band from city to city, boldly charging into the domestic entertainment industry.

But the boys are hard to handle, and Ning Wei nearly dies trying.

Because Ning Wei is holding a winning hand and refuses to play it. She just tears it all up for you.

Theme: Improve idols' professionalism. Reflect on your actions three times a day to avoid getting canceled.
