Weren’t You Supposed to Have No Connections? (Entertainment Industry)

Jian Xing's savior is Shen Xiao, a top-tier star and award-winning actor in the entertainment industry.

In Jian Xing's eyes, Shen Xiao is kind, talented, and wonderful in every way. The only problem is that he has no powerful connections or backing, so people often bully him.

To protect his savior, Jian Xing enrolls in an arts college and enters the entertainment industry, starting out as an extra ranked somewhere around the 180th tier.

He'll work hard to earn money and invest in movies and TV shows so his savior can star in them.

Jian Xing has no connections, so he joins an ill-fated variety show nobody else wants to appear on.

Unexpectedly, the production team not only invites a top-tier star and award-winning actor, but also a superstar singer. The show becomes a huge hit, and Jian Xing shoots to fame overnight.

Unable to land any acting roles, Jian Xing can only join a dance trainee show where he's destined to be a mere sidekick.

Unexpectedly, the world's greatest dancer becomes his mentor. Jian Xing makes a stunning debut and slaps everyone in the face, one after another.

Later, Jian Xing auditions for and lands a supporting role as the third male lead.

Later still, he auditions for and lands the second male lead.

Everyone says Jian Xing is incredibly lucky.

Some say he's got a sugar daddy backing him, which is why he gets such great opportunities.

Then the bigwigs from every field come forward to speak up for him, and his haters collectively fall to their knees.

Award-winning actor Shen Xiao has a fan who's an extra ranked somewhere around the 180th tier, named Jian Xing.

His little fan is considerate and sweet, and absolutely adores him.

Everything he does is right.

Whatever he says, his little fan says it's great.

Whatever he wants to eat, his little fan makes for him.

He even has a little fan on Weibo.

When someone insults him, his little fan comes to his defense.

His little fan posts cheesy declarations of love for him every day.

When someone tries to frame him, his little fan rushes out to protect him.

One day, Shen Xiao discovers that his two little fans are the same person...

His little fan is wonderful in every way, except that he always looks at Shen Xiao with inexplicable pity, convinced that people are bullying him.

When someone takes a role Shen Xiao didn't want, his little fan gives them a telling-off.

Then he hugs Shen Xiao and comforts him: "Teacher Shen, don't be sad. Once I have money, I'll invest in a movie and make you the star."

Shen Xiao, who was just about to line up ten roles for his little fan, silently withdraws his hand.

Later on,

Jian Xing is calculating which movies he can invest in with the money he's earned when he suddenly sees Shen Xiao surrounded by influential people showering him with praise.

Jian Xing: Weren't you supposed to have no connections or backing?

Reader's Guide:

**Both leads are Alphas. The doting, award-winning actor is the top, and the grateful, all-around academic genius is the bottom.

**I rarely watch variety shows or follow celebrities, and none of the shows or stars are based on real people. I came up with many of the mechanics myself, so they may differ greatly from reality, have loopholes, and be rather idealized. Please don't complain if that's not your thing.

**This is my first danmei novel, so please let me know if anything bothers you.

**A slow burn, a heartwarming story.

**I'm terrible at writing blurbs. If you like it, please add it to your favorites. Your support motivates me to write.

Blurb:

The day the pirates attacked the trash planet, Fanxing hadn't even heard their cannons yet, but he was already starving to death.

Dizzy and lightheaded, he tripped over someone.

The stranger gave him a message and a bloodstained letter, then died before he did.

Fanxing looked at the letter, then at the dead person on the ground, and slowly made his way to the place the stranger had mentioned.

Before he could starve to death, he delivered his very first package and received his very first payment.

A dry biscuit and a cup of water.

From then on, Fanxing began his career as a courier.

A letter, a box, a person, a mech, a fighter jet, a spaceship, even an entire army.

If you can think of it, I can deliver it.

Fanxing smiled. "My esteemed customer, all you have to do is pay enough, and your delivery is guaranteed."

The empire's youngest general fell silent for a long time, then spoke in a low, steady voice. "I want to deliver someone."

Fanxing: "Who?"

The general: "Me."

Fanxing: "Where to?"

The general raised his right hand and pointed his long fingers at Fanxing's chest. "Here."

Theme: Gratitude. Good people are rewarded.
