What Do You Care Who the Audience Wants to Watch?

Blurb:

Yu, a livestreamer, dies suddenly after staying up late doing practice questions.

When he wakes up, he's an outdated pretty face.

His manager is frantic:

"The hyper-realistic transmigration experience is about to begin.

"The others are either famous idols or veteran stars, all playing popular roles. We only have the identity of a 'country boy.' Who'd believe there's no rigging involved?

"Looks like we're stuck being stepping stones this time."

It turns out to be a virtual-world promotion event launched by a conglomerate in partnership with the entertainment industry.

Thirty-two stars, five popular scripts, and a hyper-realistic transmigration experience.

Popularity determines the winner. Half are eliminated each round, and the last one standing wins a thirty-million-yuan prize and a 1% stake in the original shares of Virtual Reality.

Yu Ye is the only one among the sixteen without backing from wealthy investors, a trainee brought in just to make up the numbers. He got in on looks alone.

"A stepping stone? They can control the roles, but can they control who the audience likes?"

Also known as The Protagonist and the NPC, What Fans? They're My Big Brothers and Sisters, and No One Understands Fan Service Better Than Me.

The first script: a palace intrigue story about a battle for the throne, with the imperial court and harem intertwined. His assigned identity is an unknown country boy.

The third script...

"Weird. They're different script worlds, so why is the same person always beside me? Is there a bug?"

"What bug? That's Yan Shicheng, the founder of the virtual world."

"Huh?"
