Every Member of My Boy Band Is Nonhuman [Entertainment Industry]

[My new novel, My Absurd Stepmom Takes the Internet by Storm, is now underway! The blurb is at the bottom. If you're interested, check it out in my author page~]

Award-winning agent Yu Yingshi is forced out of her career and can only join a small company, where she takes charge of a boy band so obscure they're practically scraping the bottom of the barrel.

The five members each have their own way of being a flop:

One goes on a show and tells an actress he's just met that her boyfriend is cheating on her.

One boldly calls out a popular singer for fake playing and lip-syncing.

One always manages to have a flight delayed or an event canceled whenever he has a schedule.

And one refuses to go onstage at a commercial performance, ruining the whole event.

Yu Yingshi: Good grief! You've managed to do every single thing a decent person wouldn't!

Band members: Actually... we're not people to begin with (x)

Once Yu Yingshi accepts that every member of the band is nonhuman, she starts leading them to make a splash in all sorts of ways:

The Qilin uses divine prophecies to help fans of various stars dodge one scandal after another.

Feifei's lucky-charm nature makes the whole internet repost its posts.

Qiuniu can play n kinds of instruments, making him a one-man symphony orchestra.

Baize becomes the most formidable encyclopedia in history thanks to his terrifying depth of knowledge.

As the members' careers steadily reach new heights, Yu Yingshi suddenly realizes that one bandmate's true form and talent have yet to be revealed.

It seems he's become famous entirely thanks to his aloof, chaste ice-prince demeanor and a face so beautiful even Nuwa would praise it.

She secretly called the Qilin over and asked, "Do you know what Ying Feng's talent is?"

The Qilin grinned mischievously. "He can cast love spells."

"C-cast love spells?" Yu Yingshi thought she understood why Ying Feng had become the top-tier star, and wondered whether that counted as unfair competition.

Ying Feng happened to pass by and overheard them. He clarified, "I can only cast one spell in my entire life."

Yu Yingshi breathed a sigh of relief.

"But he's already used that one chance," the Qilin added, narrowing his eyes as he exposed him.

!!!

Yu Yingshi's heart leapt back into her throat.

Her idol under her management absolutely could not have a scandal!!!

Much later, Yu Yingshi remarked:

#My boy band really does have the most unusual ways of getting caught in scandals#

Reader's guide:

1. Boy band member x agent. If you can't accept idols dating, read with caution~

2. I can't think of anything else for now, so I'll bow to everyone.

Blurb for the ongoing novel My Absurd Stepmom Takes the Internet by Storm:

Lu Youran transmigrates into the role of the villainous male lead's wicked stepmother.

The original owner married a wealthy tycoon through scheming, suffered neglect after the wedding, and took out her frustration on her three-year-old stepson.

Abused, the boy gradually turned evil. When he grew up, he killed the original owner without hesitation.

After recalling the plot, Lu Youran decides the original owner was an idiot.

With money, a child, and a huge house, who cares whether that old man comes home!

-

Lu Youran throws herself into her delightful life among the wealthy. Once she's tired of spending money, she decides to pursue the dream of becoming a top-tier star that she couldn't fulfill in her previous life.

To quickly clear the original owner's reputation as universally hated, she chooses to take her stepson on a parenting reality show.

Haters rush to watch Lu Youran drop her act, but the outrageous antics of mother and son gradually win them over:

When a brat bullies someone else's child, the other parents tell their kids to be forgiving.

Lu Youran, meanwhile, gives her own kid a smack on the bottom.

Viewers: She's hitting him...

The next second, Lu Youran points at her sobbing son and refuses to let the other brat off the hook:

"Why should my Yanyan forgive you just because you apologized? Can't you see how upset he is?"

"What? You're still little?"

"Then I definitely can't let you off! You have to prune a sapling to make it grow straight!"

Viewers: She's! A really good person! A hero among moms! A role model for us all!

Other parents are frantic about their kids' "puppy love," fearing it will hurt their grades and doing everything they can to keep tabs on them.

Lu Youran, on the other hand, listens with great interest to Song Zhiyan's "secret crush."

"If you like her, go after her boldly!" she says, slapping her thigh in excitement.

Viewers: She's teaching her kid to date young...

The next second, Lu Youran changes tack and frowns worriedly:

"But Xiaomei is so popular. The boys who like her speak three languages, fence, and do mental arithmetic."

Song Zhiyan immediately climbs out of bed and opens his learning tablet.

Viewers: She's teaching her kid that the early bird catches the worm! What an amazing way to inspire independent learning!

Other parents sacrifice their time alone together to take care of their children.

Lu Youran wears a sexy dress, steps into high heels, and carefully applies a full face of makeup.

Viewers: This woman is abandoning her kid to go out and fool around!

The next second, Lu Youran picks up her equally stylishly dressed son and excitedly interacts with him:

"What's Yanyan's goal?"

"If you see a handsome big brother, pretend you've gotten lost! Give him Mama's phone number and tell him to call!"

Viewers: This woman... it's time she escaped that old man's clutches. She deserves someone better!

-

Lu Youran heads downstairs looking fabulous with her son. She has just opened the front door when she runs into a man radiating icy hostility.

Song Li: "I heard you told eight pretty boys that I'm no good in bed?"

"Uh." Lu Youran uses her son as a shield. "To clarify, it wasn't eight, it was six."

In less than half a second, every livestream feed cuts out.

Viewers: #Weren't we told Song Li was an old man???#

#Lu Youran, you really are absurd!#

Theme: Face challenges without fear and shine brightly in what you love.
