The Boy Band Became Famous After Shedding Their Background-Character Aura

With the “background character” debuff hanging over his head, An Si, a member of an obscure boy band, has had a rough road to stardom. On the day the group debuted, their trending topic was pushed off the charts, and the whole group sank to the bottom. Their rivals fell apart, then his bandmates did, then the company collapsed. He was shelved, his contract terminated, and hit with black trending topics. An Si got the full “hated and washed-up” package. Every fate seemed to say: Don't dream of standing out or basking in the spotlight. An Si could only try to change his destiny by taking the simplest idol route: He spent day after day in the practice room, performed in the far-flung corners of the entertainment industry, drew up operation plans for the group himself, and studied every kind of idol culture... Most importantly, he would never get caught in a scandal! Then he would wait for the day he could become the star of the stage, too. Years later, an entertainment magazine reported: “This is an era where popularity reigns supreme, a winter for idols, who are at the bottom of the social ladder and easy targets for everyone... And yet An Si appeared.” “He is the soul and helmsman of his group, the perennial visual focus onstage, and a leading figure in restoring the glory of idols. He seems impossible to defeat. ...Though he does seem to have some misconceptions about his own popularity.” Reading tips: * An uplifting, growth-oriented story, from obscure idol to world tour * No fanbase infighting; there are lots of bullet comments, forum posts, and other fan-related scenes * Features strong group spirit * Set in a parallel world and includes unscientific elements. Please don't map it onto real life. ☆☆☆ Coming soon: I Want to Get Rich as a Part-Time Fansite Master Too Nian Peixi was reborn.
