Blurb:
Que Qingshe, a tree sparrow spirit and core member of the Supernatural Affairs Bureau, receives a mission to go undercover on the hottest audition variety show of the moment.
He was supposed to work behind the scenes, but through a twist of fate, he ends up as one of the trainees.
Since he's already there, he has to complete the mission, so he grits his teeth and plunges in.
During his first performance, he's panicking inside, but keeps a calm expression as he launches into a bit of vocal mimicry.
Yes, he imitates bird calls.
Ao Ze, a top-tier star and solo male mentor, nearly spits out his water. This silver-throated long-tailed tit really knows how to take the easy way out. His thin lips part slightly. “This show is about forming a boy band, not putting on a variety act. If you don't have any other singing or dancing talents, you can go home now.”
There's no way he's going home. This mission comes with a huge reward, and nobody's going to stop him!
Que Qingshe's gaze sharpens, and the corner of his mouth lifts. “If I had what it takes to get into variety acts, why would I come here to listen to you run your mouth?”
Everyone: ???
How dare he say Ao Ze, the entertainment industry's 'Dragon Emperor,' is running his mouth? This guy's got some nerve.
Before anyone can finish reacting, the well-behaved-looking, bad-tempered trainee speaks again. “But I do have singing and dancing skills, too. How about a dragon-head dance?”
Everyone: We're pretty sure you're the one who'll be dancing on your own grave!

In the second half of the show, Que Qingshe and Ao Ze's CP takes off, rocketing to first place on the 'CP rankings.'
Just as netizens begin to speculate that he's deliberately playing up their CP to win the center position and ride Ao Ze's fame,
he finally catches the evil spirit with Ao Ze's 'help,' completes his mission, and withdraws from the show after taking first place by a landslide.
Que Qingshe smiles faintly. “I was riding your fame?”
A certain dragon throws a tantrum, the tips of his ears bright red. “I'm the one riding yours. Let me ride you, and I promise...”
Que Qingshe kicks him off the bed. “Tui!”
