[Mainly Ensemble Stars!!] The Night of a Thousand Stars' Escape

In his previous life, Qianxing was a singer who thought he was nothing special. Singing was his only talent, and his popularity came entirely from specializing in one thing.

He could sing and dance, but give him one more song and this guy with no stamina would be ready to lie flat on the spot.

Then, for no apparent reason, he transmigrated to another world. To survive, he performed on the streets, sang lead in a church choir, and even fought the kids at the orphanage several against one for a piece of bread.

One day, a rich mogul with insomnia took him in. The first thing he said was:

“I felt a fresh, beautiful quality in your singing.”

“But it isn't enough. Not nearly enough.”

“I can give you a comfortable life and excellent opportunities to study. In return, you must provide me with a steady supply of ‘beauty.’”

“If you can't do that, I'll have no choice but to send you back.”

From then on, Qianxing had to throw himself into developing his skills.

Work hard at everything? Bring it on!

Years later, after working his way to the top of the idol world, he gazes across a sea of glow sticks and looks back at the child who first stumbled through his singing lessons. Only then does he realize just how long and full the road beneath his feet has been.

Someone once told Qianxing: You were born to sing.

You should sing for the breeze, the birds, and the rugged mountains.

You should sing for the soft clouds, the dawn, and the sun over your hometown.

You should sing for everything beautiful.

So Qianxing fled from the heights of the sky, crossed island after island, and embraced lighthouse after lighthouse. He wanted to be the eyes in the dark.

“I'm a star that can't shine on its own. Others have given me far, far too much light.”

Note:

1. I labeled this as pure romance because I'm worried I won't be able to write a no-romance story well. The author is really more into platonic relationships.

2. The protagonist has a powerful golden finger, so proceed with caution if that's not your thing.

3. I'm writing this for fun. I got into the series through ES1 and don't know the ES2 story very well, but I'll catch up as I go. Please point out any mistakes, but no personal attacks or hostile discussions.

Theme: When you choose to shine, the whole world lights the way for you.
