I Became Famous on a Girl Group Survival Show After Transmigrating

[My novel, "A Tear-Prone Girl Cries While Clutching Her Gold Medal at the Olympics [Artistic Gymnastics]," is currently serializing. Please add it to your collection. See my profile for the blurb.]

[My next novel will be "A Fertility System, but the Heroine Is from an Animal-Husbandry Novel." Watch how the heroine turns a wicked System into a force for boundless virtue. See the blurb below or on my profile.]

Blurb:

In her previous life, Mu Xinyao went from a naive sweetheart to someone who knew every trick in the fandom playbook. After weathering a bloodbath of a talent competition, she finally made the debut lineup in ninth place.

Who could have guessed that debuting would mean instant unemployment? Her teammates scattered, there were no stages to perform on, and she had no choice but to start acting in television dramas. Then, during filming, a faulty wire harness caused her death.

Then, she transmigrated.

She got a System that promised to help her realize her dream, but before it could finish speaking, it crashed.

And the original owner had signed up for a talent competition, but the money-grubbing show postponed filming.

Mu Xinyao: Does this sound like a setup that's going to help me achieve my dream? :)

Yet this hellish start took a turn for the better once filming began.

Mu Xinyao had planned to use the backstabbing skills she'd learned in her previous life to debut in the center position, but the trainees turned out to be surprisingly friendly.

Her pretty, useless little fangirl: "You're amazing, sis! I want to learn to dance from you forever!"

The stage ace whom everyone admired: "I think you might be better suited than me to be the center!"

The sweet-voiced good girl: "I really hope Yao comes to the vocal group. I want to sing with her!"

Mu Xinyao:

Congratulations to me.

Looks like I can't put my scheming to use.

But damn it, the show is going to flop, isn't it!

Mu Xinyao had thought that a show so harmonious it was practically dripping with girl-on-girl vibes would have no viral moments. But then...

Talent-show fans: "I scrambled over from my last fave to watch this all-around ace!"

K-pop fans: "I heard there's a super-talented trainee here, so I'm poking my head in |·ω·.)"

Passersby: "Waaah, gorgeous friendship, let's go! I'm so tired of variety shows where every female star ends up fighting with someone!"

With no industry plants and no vote-rigging contestants, Mu Xinyao debuted in the center position, fulfilling her dream from her previous life. Together with her teammates, she became a member of a top-tier star girl group.

Later, a reporter interviewed her: "Can you tell us what you feel most now that you've become famous?"

Mu Xinyao (loudly): "It's so happy to be in a girl group where I don't have to act in TV dramas!"

Reader's guide:

1. The main story is entirely about her career. The extras shift to romance after she changes careers. The male lead is Ke Suoqi.

2. The talent-show sections were sketched out from an ensemble perspective in another novel. Aside from a few necessary lines, I can guarantee that the rest won't be copied and pasted from that book.

3. The competition is based on the Produce 101 format, with adjustments as needed.

4. A supporting character is reborn.

5. The heroine isn't a naive sweetheart. She's ambitious and knows all the tricks, so if you think an idol like that is a turnoff, run. The story will cover fans' reactions, ship couples, describe performances in detail, feature teammates and trainees who don't debut, give supporting characters their moments in the spotlight, and include memes. The author likes dancing but isn't a fan, so please don't derail the discussion or gatekeep fandom credentials.

Please add my upcoming novel, "A Fertility System, but the Heroine Is from an Animal-Husbandry Novel," to your collection. Here's the blurb:

[Other people bind a fertility System: multiple babies in one pregnancy, and the domineering CEO falls madly in love!]

[You Qianhua binds a fertility System: You say there are no restrictions on who I can use this on? Then I won't hold back! (rubbing hands.gif)]

Ever since You Qianhua was acknowledged by her wealthy birth family, a certain photo had been circulating like wildfire among the upper classes:

A girl with sweat on her forehead holds a huge syringe and pins down a sow lying on the ground to give it an injection. The sow struggles nonstop, leaving a suspicious yellow stain on her pants.

The fake heiress covers her mouth with a smile. "Don't touch the Hermes, sis. Pig manure is hard to wash off."

Her father, a forestry magnate, frowns. "Don't come to the family banquet this week. Come back after you've learned some refinement."

Her arranged-marriage partner complains to his family. "What's the use of a real heiress? She grew up raising pigs. The fake one is better, at least she doesn't turn my stomach."

Everyone waits to see the country bumpkin make a fool of herself, but You Qianhua won't play along. She turns around, exposes the wealthy family's scheme to arrange her marriage, and returns to her original family.

At first, she uses the fertility System simply to grow her family's pig farm. The sows give birth without pain, the survival rate is high, and the meat is better, making it a hit with customers.

But later, things seem to go a little beyond what she'd expected:

Her cattle sell at auction for astronomical prices, and the head chef of the state banquet comes to seek her out.

The horses she trained accompany national athletes to win Olympic gold in dressage.

The livestock she breeds increase the country's grain reserves, and people in impoverished areas get high-quality meat at rock-bottom prices!

At last, the wealthy family's dirty secrets come to light, and her heartless father still wants to use You Qianhua's marriage to plug a financial hole.

But You Qianhua answers a phone call in front of him. "When does the endangered species breeding work begin?"

At that moment, the fertility System: &￥@#@%...

From the animals' perspectives:

Northeastern golden-shaded cat: "If I want to snuggle with my partner, acting cute is no big deal, right?"

Giant panda with dark circles: "Someone should investigate this woman. She really can teach pandas to do backflips!"

The most handsome leopard in the world (or so he thinks): "Mom, open the door. Your little leopard needs a hug!"

Theme: Skill is what gives you the confidence to take the stage.
