Jiang Tang, a seasoned social phobic, is transported into an idol coming-of-age comic and becomes the cannon-fodder second female lead who debuts and then vanishes from a dating reality show.
The original Jiang Tang saw the dating show as a stepping stone to becoming a celebrity, but she overdid it, wrecked her reputation, and was eliminated halfway through. After that, she was never heard from again.
A system that came out of nowhere: [Host, you have to make a successful debut and build up your popularity to survive in the comic world.]
A certified social phobic, Jiang Tang: “...”
This dating show combines romance, Werewolf, deserted-island survival, treasure hunts, and more. Every guest has their own identity and agenda, making it the most cutthroat dating show in history.
And Jiang Tang's condition for winning is: everyone has to pick her.
Jiang Tang: Thanks, but I'd rather die.
So while everyone else works hard to date and scheme against one another, Jiang Tang fishes by the sea.
As the battlefield turns into an all-out bloodbath, Jiang Tang makes herself blissfully invisible.
System: [Are you crazy? This is a dating show!]
At the finale, Jiang Tang, who barely made an impression, suddenly wins by being picked by everyone. In the audience vote, her popularity also skyrockets.
System: [???]
Jiang Tang: Because I studied variety show directing, so this is right up my alley.
I can see through the tricks, tear up the script, and find another way to do things.

Jiang Tang makes her successful debut and her new agency arranges her follow-up activities.
Her first assignment is: livestream shopping.
Jiang Tang (smiling wearily): “...I sincerely hope this world will be a little kinder to people with social anxiety.”
But to her surprise...
Jiang Tang's livestream goes viral again and again because she's one of a kind.
As her popularity rises, she gets something else too... even more invitations to variety shows.
Workplace commentary, countryside variety shows, escape rooms...
No matter how terrible the planning is, Jiang Tang can make her own clips go viral.
Over time, Jiang Tang becomes a gold-standard variety show guest.
But just as her fans eagerly await Jiang Tang's next show, they realize she is nowhere to be seen.

It isn't until someone posts a photo from the entrance ceremony at the most prestigious performing arts school that people learn Jiang Tang has gone to study variety show directing.
From then on, people rarely see Jiang Tang on camera, but they find her name in the credits of several hit variety shows.
Little by little, “Anything produced by Jiang Tang is sure to be top quality” becomes a gold-standard guarantee.
Fan: “Director Jiang, would you consider having our idol appear on your new variety show?”
Fan: “Director Jiang, you're our idol!”
Jiang Tang: “...I'm just a social phobic trying to scrape by in a comic world.”
*The main focus is her career. The male lead appears very late.
Theme: Work hard and strive for your career.
