An Idol Survival Show Guide to Fanservice Pairings

Thanks to his naturally good looks, Tao Qingran could wander around the streets in his school uniform and still get an olive branch from a production crew. When the cast's first impressions were revealed, he became the first trainee to go viral.

The trouble was, his singing was just passable, his limbs looked a little stiff, and his rap was practically a book recitation.

After being branded a pretty face with no talent, he seemed to be headed for a sacrificial role. Everyone thought that once the show had milked his popularity, they'd kick him to the curb.

How can a trainee with no connections, no talent, and no company stand out on a survival show and avoid becoming a cannon-fodder also-ran?

The answer: ship himself with other guys.

From then on, all the talented and popular contestants vying to debut became, in Tao Qingran's eyes, Blood Bag Number One, Blood Bag Number Two, Blood Bag Number Three...

Content warnings:

1. The blurb may change, but the overall story won't. This is a story about a pretty face with no talent who is terrible at everything but will stop at nothing to rise to the top. The protagonist has a low moral threshold and is an absolute self-interested person.

2. The story will take inspiration from real-life survival shows, but it has no real-life counterparts and won't be based on anyone. The author is just here for fun.

3. More to come. If you like the story, please add it to your favorites.
