A Handbook for Raising an Ambitious Schemer

[The heroine gradually rises to become a top-tier star / ensemble cast / survival show / primarily about female idols / also covers idol management] Ye Jinxi had loved singing and dancing since she was little. Her greatest dream was to stand onstage, so she swallowed her pride and emailed companies all over the country. The result was predictable: in this industry, you need talent bestowed by the heavens, and aside from her passion for singing, she had nothing to offer. As she sent off a video of herself singing, thinking this would be her last try, her computer suddenly crashed, and thunder rumbled outside. Crackle, pop, dinosaur, kang, wolf, kang, wolf, kang She was struck by lightning and transmigrated. She transmigrated into the body of a girl with the same name. The entertainment industry in this world was completely different from the one she'd known. This world had an enormous idol market!!! A company called Random Entertainment dominated half the domestic entertainment industry, monopolized its idol market, and was famous throughout Asia. As Ye Jinxi looked at Random Entertainment's nationwide audition ads, her adrenaline surged uncontrollably, and her whole body began to tremble. She bought a ticket to Random Entertainment's year-end concert. That night, she trembled the whole time, a scream tightly held back in her throat. Looking at the glittering idols on the giant screen and listening to nearly a hundred thousand people roaring around her, Ye Jinxi's breathing grew ragged. She would stand on that stage, in the spot right at the center. - Random Entertainment hadn't launched a new group in more than two years. Its accounts for trainee announcements and rookie announcements hadn't been updated in ages. On a bland summer night, right at midnight, [@These Are Random Entertainment Trainees] posted a poster. It showed the silhouettes of nine girls, with the words CAREERIST [Ambitious Ones] above them. There was no other information. That one poster made all the stans who'd said they were going to bed sit bolt upright, clutching their phones and screaming. “Aaaah, summer belongs to Random Entertainment!” “Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!” “Surprise drop?! A nine-member group?! They're called the Ambitious Ones?!” With just one poster, Random Entertainment woke up all the entertainment industry's gossip accounts. Just as they were about to make videos, write posts, and publish them, Random Entertainment's producer Jiang Juyou released a teaser video. “An Ambitious One's Handbook. We invite you all to take a look.” Everyone thought it would be a nine-member girl group, but it turned out to be a survival show where nine contestants fought to the death: [An Ambitious One's Handbook] The victor takes all. The Ambitious One fights her way through the competition. Nine contestants, one winner. A solo debut. The winner would become the first solo artist to debut under Random Entertainment in the company's ten-year history. - “The ‘Ye’ in Ambitious One is the ‘Ye’ in Ye Jinxi, ” - ■Pre-release novel: We Love Being This Free and Happy■ [Story's emotional focus: friendship > family > romance] [Female ensemble cast] [Only one CP] [Passionate and youthful] [An emotionally volatile fox × a calm, tea-sipping capybara] [Draft progress: 2 chapters] At seventeen or eighteen, aside from studying, the only way to pass time at school was gossip. As it happened, there were four people at No. 22 High School who fit the bill. There was a capybara girl who got perfect scores in science but whose English and Chinese grades occasionally nosedived. There was a vampire school heartthrob who came first in every monthly exam but got a stomachache or headache whenever a major exam came around. There was a righteous young lady, 173 centimeters tall and as beautiful as a movie star, who couldn't take the arts entrance exam because her limbs wouldn't get along with each other until tomorrow. And there was the guy known as “Ten Thousand Years,” because he once said, “Seriously, I'll love you for ten thousand years.” “Hey! Your Ten Thousand Years is here.” Jin Li said, then looked at Yu Chuying and winked. Yu Chuying glanced at the person in the distance, rolled her eyes, and told Jin Li, “Get lost.” Jin Li had also heard that some girls in the junior high section had dubbed her desk mate the school heartthrob. So when her desk mate arrived, Yu Chuying immediately told him, “Heartthrob, did you know they've crowned you the school heartthrob?” Shen Cangdong set down his schoolbag. The moment he sat down, he launched an indiscriminate attack: “You two are hopeless. Don't come crying to me to help you with your English reading later.” The two hopeless cases: “...” The four of them only hung out in their own little circle and had no idea they were “big names” among their classmates. Any little tidbit of news about them spread across the entire school. Everyone at No. 22 High School was a total blabbermouth! - “I love how free and happy we are, ” “We only get one youth, so I refuse to have regrets. Even if I dropped dead tomorrow, I wouldn't regret a thing.” “Thank you for making my boring youth worthwhile.” “What I mean is, long live friendship!” - Theme: Stand firm in your beliefs and strive to grow.
