The protagonist transmigrates into a book, becoming one of the seven members of an obscure idol group.
The group may be obscure, but every member has their own spectacular scandal.
Member A gets into fights and lands in jail; Member B evades taxes and gets publicly denounced and banned; Member C skips practice and phones it in onstage, earning a backlash from fans; Member D eats himself from the group's visual into a massively overweight man, sending his popularity plummeting; Member E anonymously posts malicious threads online, spreading rumors about actors and top stars who are more popular than the group; Member F is arrogant and looks down on everyone, completely ruining his reputation with the public...
And the original owner of the protagonist's body is the worst of all, flirting everywhere and sleeping with half the entertainment industry.
Protagonist: ...Is this an adaptation of the Seven Deadly Sins?
Luckily, the group only debuted a month ago. It's not too late to go solo.
Back in the dorm, the protagonist washes off his heavy makeup, revealing a naturally stunning face, then starts a livestream.
Even after being sniped dozens of times in the game, the protagonist keeps smiling, never getting angry or cursing.
Viewers: This little idol may be bad at the game, but he has a great attitude toward his work. I'll follow him.
In the next match, he gets paired with a famous esports player. They work together seamlessly and win in the end.
Viewers: There's kind of a spark between them.
After the livestream, the protagonist changes and goes to dance practice. He practices late into the night and is just about to stop for a drink of water when he turns around and meets the teasing gaze of a top-tier star.
Over the next few days, the protagonist keeps appearing now and then in the top-tier star's daily vlogs.
The company gives him a small role in a big-budget production. The others scoff at it, but the protagonist nearly wears out the two-page script from reading it so many times.
His heavily annotated script accidentally falls in front of an award-winning actor. That night, the actor posts on social media, singling out a talented and studious newcomer he has met.
At an in-person fan event, the protagonist smiles warmly at every fan who comes to support him.
A certain CEO, hidden among the fans, is dazzled by his idol's radiant smile.
With an ensemble romance featuring several gay characters laid out before him, the protagonist picks up a pen and signs his name without hesitation.
On the day he arrives at the production set, he has just stepped into the room when the esports star, the top-tier star, the award-winning actor, and the CEO all greet him at once.
Theme: Stay true to yourself and keep striving upward
