Boy Band Audition: Everyone's a Villain

Do not buy the unlocked version! Do not buy it! [Notice about unlocking: I'm so sorry. When I started having emotional problems, I should have gone to a doctor instead of running away. I finally went to see one and got diagnosed. I probably won't have the energy to write from now on, either. I don't want to leave everyone hanging behind a paywall. Having an unfinished story has also put a lot of pressure on me, so unlocking it seemed like the best option I could think of. I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry.] As everyone knows, in the entertainment industry, success depends not only on your own hard work, but also on whether someone is willing to promote you. With no connections to his name, Song Yanshu spent his previous life struggling into his thirties, yet remained a third-rate idol who never made it big. After being reborn in a car accident, the first thing Song Yanshu did was: Join the infamous survival show from his previous life, Super Trainee. Now in its seventh season, the show has assembled a cast of contestants: washed-up idols who care only about romance, an internet celebrity who's actually a zero, a useless college guy who might be a psychopath, a celebrity's child using the show as a stepping stone... Perhaps because there were too many spectacularly incompetent contestants, the production team simply gave up. Since they couldn't pull off the usual script of passionate young people striving for their dreams, they decided to turn this boy-band survival show into an imperial harem power struggle. Bad publicity is still publicity. Super Trainee Season Seven made a spectacular comeback. The darkest season of the show: editing that turned truth upside down, cliques and bullying, shameless vote-rigging, agencies with their own agendas... Some contestants shot to fame and joined the ranks of the top-tier stars. Others were victimized and hounded online until they developed severe depression. The road ahead was full of danger, but Song Yanshu chose to step onto the stage with resolve. Because he truly loved being an idol. Reader's guide: 1. The competition format is based on the Produce 101 franchise. 2. None of the characters are based on real people. 3. A full-on boy-band survival show: a dark version with contestants who all have eight hundred schemes apiece, and the protagonist has the most. 4. The protagonist is a true idol through and through, deeply devoted to his career. He makes a stunning comeback as the dark horse and debuts as center. Theme: Stand on your own two feet and strive for success.
