▼Blurb:
Jiang Song is a top talent agent in the entertainment industry. Everyone he manages becomes a star.
But one day, he transmigrates into a book and becomes a rich, foolish young master who's good for nothing but eating, drinking, and having fun, and is about to bring about his own ruin.
That's not all. He's also bound to a "Rising Superstar Plan" System.
The System tells him he has to make the artists in the plan's handbook famous and slap down everyone who looks down on him, or he'll really die!
Jiang Song: "I know this stuff."
Isn't it just managing a group of artists? Even if they're a pile of mud, he can prop them up!
But when he meets the artists, he falls silent:
Artist No. 1 is beautiful as a flower, literally a flower. During their conversation, she completes the entire process of blooming and shedding her leaves.
Artist No. 2 has a lovely singing voice, except she flaps her wings and flies around the room singing, and it's really noisy!
Artist No. 3 is a flower on a high cliff... that is, unless that big tail of his is wagging excitedly.
Artist No. 4 claims to belong to an ancient tomb sect, but he really does live in an ancient tomb! He might actually be a pile of mud, seriously!
Jiang Song: His hand trembles as he signs the contract.

Word soon spreads that the useless young master of the Jiang family has suddenly decided to become a talent agent.
Netizens look at the oddballs under his management, who either sing terribly, act awkwardly, or look unremarkable, and wonder:
Is the young master just here to play around in the entertainment industry?
But no one expects this:
The artist who sings terribly becomes the youngest Best Actress;
The actor with awkward acting skills makes his debut as the center of a talent show and becomes a sensation across the internet;
The idol with an unremarkable appearance transforms into a master of Chinese studies, displaying a vast knowledge of all kinds on cultural programs;
Jiang Song wipes the dust off every single gem, allowing them to shine brighter than ever.
The netizens of the past: Which flop is Jiang Song signing and making a scene with today?
The netizens now: Waaaaah, Teacher Jiang, please take a look at my baby! They're gorgeous, well-proportioned, sweet, and obedient. Please give them a chance to see the world too! QAQ~
Upcoming novel: After the Dragon-Proud Hero Becomes the Villain's Father

System: "...? What exactly did you get?"
Qin Yuhuai: "I'll get him on the right path. His dad will teach him how to crush everyone anyway."

Xu Sinian first meets Qin Shuyun not long after returning to China, when he goes to town to buy something for his older sister.
A woman stands at a stall, smiling as she tells her companion about her creations.
For some reason, he pushes his bicycle over to her.
Then, drawn in by the dimples in her smile, he buys a whole lot of her exquisite little creations.
One late night, Xu Sinian is teaching a child to read beneath a lamp.
Qin Shuyun leans over and asks with a smile, "When you first came to buy something from me, you bought out my whole stall. Weren't you afraid I'd trick you?"
Xu Sinian shakes his head. "No."
"Because when you were smiling and telling me about your creations, you were glowing."
Theme: Keep moving forward, and someday your own starlight will be yours.
