Su Jiu is the youngest fox spirit on Qingqiu Mountain, and the only nine-tailed fox with eight tails.
Because there isn't enough spiritual energy on Qingqiu Mountain, Su Jiu can't cultivate a ninth tail. His grandmother sends him to the human world to cultivate.
Su Jiu originally planned to go to City C and stay with his eldest brother, but through a series of mishaps, he ends up joining an idol survival show.

Online:
Haters: This Su Jiu is totally an insider's pick. The show is playing favorites with "Prince Su," and that's unfair!
On the show:
Poor Su Jiu: "My home? I live up in the mountains. It's usually just me and Grandma, depending on each other. I came to City C because I was planning to stay with my big brother."
The other contestants: How sad...
Online:
Haters: Ugh, Su Jiu is just clout-chasing. He sees the other contestants getting popular, so he pretends to be their friend and acts like they're brothers to make CPs with them!
On the show:
Clueless Su Jiu: "Hey, don't argue. Would it be a waste of your precious time to teach me how to sing and dance?"
The other contestants: Of course not. You're really smart!
Online:
Haters: Aaaah, I get it now. Su Jiu is a sly little fox spirit, tricking all our boys into doing whatever he wants!
On the show:
Su Jiu, unaware of how seductive he is: "Hm? How did you know I'm a fox spirit?"
A certain contestant hiding his true identity scoffs: "Because fox spirits are experts at seducing people..."
So, could you please seduce only me?

Friendly reminder: The protagonist is a total heartthrob. What can you expect? He's a real fox spirit.
Theme: Success comes only through your own hard work!
