"Chosen by the Teyvat Idol Master System, young girl, bring a new light to the world!"
He Susu: "Put it in plain language."
"Draw characters and train them to become wildly popular idols in the entertainment industry."
This looks suspicious no matter how you put it. These aren't even real-world humans, for crying out loud!
He Susu is a rookie talent manager who just started her job. She has no idea what she did to deserve being handed a whole bunch of oddball performers.
"Is this... a squirrel person?"
"Sayu is a tanuki, not a squirrel or a raccoon!"
-- A child model on Taobao still counts as part of the entertainment industry, right? Right, it's the entertainment industry!
"Don't fall asleep. You've already been asleep for a whole day."
And this old man here, going on a shopping channel as an expert counts as a kind of performance, right?
"By common sense, this is deception."
With her savings dwindling and her murderous impulses growing, He Susu said, "Of course you can choose. This radio drama, this modeling gig, this... The Harbingers won't collapse from exhaustion, so at least earn enough to cover your own living expenses!"
Tartaglia, now this one's handsome. Seems like a Russian guy. Let's get him into a talent show. Looks like my career as He Susu still has hope.
Three days later, she slunk off to pick up her performer outside the training camp.
Idol fans: He's handsome, but he gets into fights. No way!
"You... How about you and Xiao go be Mr. Yun's bodyguards?"
Reader's guide:
Most of the characters can only watch from the sidelines of the entertainment industry, though there are some heavy hitters too (Yunjin, Barbara, Xinyan, and others).
