[On hiatus due to the subject matter. See the author's note in Chapter 10 for details.]
[But I still want to try to save this story. I'll see how things look after I revise it.]
Yu Shu transmigrates into a nobody's role in an entertainment-industry wish-fulfillment novel.
By the time he arrives, the whole internet is mocking him, and his unscrupulous agency is demanding a staggering seven-figure penalty for breach of contract.
Yu Shu, a fourth-year student with only 300 yuan to his name and nothing but his looks and brains: ...
And I'm supposed to put up with this?
He stays up all night searching the university career center's listings, applies for the next civil-service selection exam, and passes.
His haters sneer: Sent to some poor, remote backwater, a poverty-stricken county no less. What future could he possibly have there!
His former agency also makes a public statement: Yu Shu only took the civil-service exam to dodge his termination fee. There's no way he'll endure the hardships of grassroots work. He won't last two years. He'll quit in no time!
Everyone waits for Yu Shu to make a fool of himself.
Nobody believes he took the civil-service exam because he genuinely wanted to.
Until...
The remote village of Liuqiao becomes the first to shed its designation as a poor village. Its crumbling homes are torn down and replaced with little villas, and the villagers' lives flourish. The village even gets a special feature on a major TV station, becoming a nationally renowned model for poverty alleviation.
On camera, the villagers, once weary and destitute, are now rosy-cheeked and stand tall.
When asked about the new college-graduate village official, they give him a thumbs-up: "It's all thanks to Comrade Xiao Yu! He's quick-witted, hardworking, and never afraid of a tough job! He led us all the way to prosperity. Now we can afford cars and apartments, and live comfortably!"
The documentary airs and the whole internet is abuzz. The handsome young man in the footage is capable and cheerful. Praised by name as a positive role model by the authorities, he's invited to the Spring Festival Gala and named an outstanding representative. He goes viral in an instant, leaving every top-tier star in the dust!
All the haters are dumbfounded.
His former agency, now bankrupt, is just as stunned.
Who? Yu Shu? How is that possible?!
Lying in a bamboo rocking chair beneath the summer night sky, Yu Shu sips freshly picked and pan-roasted pre-Qingming tea, rubs the head of his big yellow dog, and smiles like a retired official.
What's so great about the entertainment industry? Isn't it better to help the villagers prosper and contribute to the country's poverty alleviation efforts?
Beyond the internet, in remote places
Where smartphones have yet to reach everyone
In those eyes filled with longing and numbness
Who says that being born poor means you must remain ignorant and inferior forever?
He is determined to make sure every person in this poor village can live with dignity!
Yu Shu
I fell in love with the only moon in the world,
Yet never dared to dream of having its light all to myself.

1. Yu Shu is the ultimate Mary Sue. The story is plot-focused and all about building a career. The leads are each other's only partners, and it has a happy ending.
2. The top and bottom are both strong in their respective fields. Neither one dominates the other.
3. This is an alternate reality, with many fictional details added to serve the plot, avoid real-world issues, and follow the story's own logic. No political topics are involved.
4. No real-life inspirations. Any characters readers identify with real people will be removed.

Oh my god, how could that happen???? I feel like there are no writers on this subject. 😭 😭 😭 For a moment, the organizational structure remains the same, but can't we just change the name of the country?
I came across this book by chance, because I have been reading it for many years. The subject matter of this book is really good. My family also has poverty alleviation cadres, so I am looking forward to it. Although it is no longer updated, I am a little disappointed, but I also understand the author's choice. At this point, I just want to express that Yu Shu is very good, and I thank the author for letting me know Yu Shu.
I really love the writing. It's such a pity. I hope this book will be continued one day.
It's okay, Yu Shu will definitely shine in the world in the book!!!
Oh my god... I came here from the introduction to figure skating, so I'm more interested in this subject. It's such a pity that I didn't finish it [heartbroken] eh
Please bookmark the next book I will write soon! "Extreme Sports?" I can do it! Yu Yao is a real young master who was transferred out of his contract. He was taken back by a wealthy family, but he was not loved. He has low self-esteem, poor knowledge, and is inferior to the impostor in everything. In the end, he had to rest for the rest of his life because of congenital heart disease. Just trying to survive was worse than an ant. So after his honorable retirement from Chuan Shu Company, he took the initiative to bind the extreme sports system. Then everyone stared. Fake young master: That good-for-nothing Yu Yao is afraid of going out the most. He gets out of breath after taking only two steps. Yu Yao won the World Cup championship in the rock climbing competition in the blink of an eye! Big brother: My second brother is a loser who is afraid of the cold. He would wrap himself up like a bear in winter, so I won't take him to the party. Yu Yao returned home holding the Olympic gold medal in cross-country skiing! Dear dad: The second brother doesn't know how to swim, so there's no need to call him when you're on an island vacation. Yu Yao braved the wind and waves in the World Water Ski Championships and won the gold medal in one fell swoop! Others: You call this trash? Later, all the relatives regretted it! I beg Yu Yao to go home! Extreme sports enthusiasts all over the world are crying and wanting to know this uncrowned king. Even the General Administration of Sports of China offered an olive branch and tried desperately to win over this legend and convince him to join the national team and win glory for the country! The soul imprisoned by the body Longing for more than just freedom The thrill of approaching death when challenging the boundary between life and death That's the whole meaning of his struggle and reincarnation ——Yu Yao Waiting for the tired bird to return home is the most romantic thing in the world. ——Someone [The system will not cheat, and the performance depends on Yu Yao's own efforts]
Yu Shu will pursue his ideals for the rest of his life, even though his will is difficult to overcome!
I just came here after being attracted by the copywriting of another work. Then I learned that I couldn't write about this sensitive subject matter, woo woo woo
It seems that many subjects are more sensitive nowadays, and I don't know whether it is progress or regression.
I believe that in my lifetime I will be able to see the novels and TV series "Let a Hundred Flowers Bloom"
