The Hated One Goes Wild on a Show for the Academically Hopeless

Joy turned to sorrow! Song Zhiyan had just confirmed his preliminary admission after a second attempt at the graduate school entrance exam. That very evening, he followed the latest trend and found himself transmigrated into a book as the character everyone hated. In the novel Reborn: The Real Young Master Is a Movie Emperor, Song Zhiyan is the fake young master who stole someone else’s place, a shameless green tea who clings to the real young master’s fiance and calls him “Brother” at every turn, and a brazen celebrity who piggybacks on a top-tier star by manufacturing a CP with him. As you might expect, Song Zhiyan, hated by absolutely everyone, was voted in by an overwhelming majority of the public as the ideal contestant for the entertainment industry’s first cultural literacy reality show, Who’s the Fish? As celebrities in the entertainment industry increasingly reveal their illiteracy, more and more graduates who slipped through the cracks of nine-year compulsory education are running rampant in showbiz. In this world, the government stipulates that only entertainers who pass an examination may receive an entertainer’s license and continue working in the industry. To ensure the process is fair and transparent, the entire examination will be broadcast live on the reality show Who’s the Fish? There are 101 contestants in the first group. Of them all, Song Zhiyan is undoubtedly the one nobody has faith in. The gossip-loving public voted him onto the show just to watch him embarrass himself and leave the entertainment industry. But on the first day of the show, something seems to be off. Wait... Song Zhiyan actually knows what CNKI is. He even knows that there’s no Nobel Prize in Mathematics, and he can solve systems of linear equations in two variables =mouth=! Good heavens, could it be that Song Zhiyan, hated by everyone, is actually a genius?! Song Zhiyan, newly arrived in this world: Thanks for asking. I’m just an ordinary graduate school entrance exam candidate. How did I accidentally end up crushing everyone from another dimension? CP: Jiang Wenshu, a lofty, aloof research genius who is not a character in the original plot. The protagonist is attracted to intelligence. Content warning: A brainless, feel-good entertainment industry romp, just for fun. There are no real-life models, but it does involve some “real cases of illiteracy.” There will also be lots of comments during the variety show’s live broadcasts. Coming next: After Marrying the Black Cat Alpha CEO as a Substitute Bride As an E-class omega who is neither loved by his father nor his mother, Xia Youran has always known that he can’t decide his own marriage. But he never imagined that one day he would have to take his half-brother’s place and marry Lu Zhixing. Lu Zhixing was once a heaven-blessed prodigy, the heir to the Lu family, an S-class Alpha, and the dream of countless omegas. Unfortunately, after a plane crash, he became a vegetative patient who could neither speak nor move. Xia Youran chose to accept reality. So what if his husband was a vegetative patient? Marrying one was better than staying home and being pushed around by his stepmother and younger brother. Besides, there was a huge living allowance to collect. He could just think of himself as having been hired as a caregiver, reasoned Xia Youran, a philosophy graduate student. So he moved into Lu Zhixing’s home and became his new bride. Every day, he massaged the sleeping Lu Zhixing and helped him with rehabilitation, doted on Lu Zhixing’s cat, and secretly plotted to change the cat’s surname. Until one day... Lu Zhixing woke up. Xia Youran was nearly in tears. “Mr. Lu, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to steal your cat.” But the newly awakened Lu Zhixing only gave him a long look. “You can steal it, just don’t have me neutered.” Xia Youran: ??? No one knew that after falling into a coma, Lu Zhixing had turned into a cat. Through the eyes of a black cat, he saw through many of the people around him. Including his biological parents, his so-called fiancee, and his “good friend” of many years. Lu Zhixing swore he would never trust anyone again. Until one day, Xia Youran moved in. The young man bathed him, helped him with rehabilitation, and took care of his cat every day without complaint. Lu Zhixing: “I know you love me. It’s just marriage, right? Then let’s get married. Come here and give me a kiss.” Xia Youran, who only wants to pet cats and not kiss: “...” “Um, I’m fine with a kiss, but could we make it a paw-pad kiss instead?” Marriage first, love later / Vegetative patient turns into a living cat / Winning over the husband in thirty-three days A hardworking philosophy graduate student and cat-loving omega protagonist X a fluffy black cat Alpha with pink paw pads, white whiskers, and green eyes, who became a vegetative patient after a plane crash Theme: Face setbacks bravely, never give up, study hard, and overcome difficulties with knowledge
