Zhuo Zihan has a dream: to make a name for himself in the entertainment industry with his singing, then receive a lifetime achievement award and take a perfect bow. But records alone won't pay the bills, and there are plenty of other options. How about acting in a drama or appearing on a variety show?
Acting is out of the question. But after a few nights of hard work, a variety show can earn him a season's worth of money in no time, so he might as well do a few more. Zhuo Zihan is unwavering and eager to seize every opportunity. At last, he becomes a familiar face on all the major hit shows, a sought-after top-tier variety-show star.
Whether it's climbing mountains, crossing seas, mediating relationship troubles, clowning around, or singing and dancing in a group, he'll do it as long as the pay is good. He's a jack-of-all-trades in the countryside, a walking treasure trove, a creator of delicious food, and a master listener. The one thing he isn't is a songbird whose voice pierces the night.
Reality loves playing tricks on him. All he wants is to sing, yet he's been cursed with an "accident-prone" constitution and keeps getting caught up in all kinds of "legendary moments": a young actor riding a pig backwards, a dignified movie star passionately kissing a guard dog, a top-tier star getting beaten up by his "true love"...
He thought he could win fans by constantly improving his singing. But people became fans because he could imitate a female ghost so perfectly in the middle of the night that he scared the machismo right out of some guy; because his cool, captivating gaze made pig castration look effortless; because his expert excavator skills let him help repair the village roads; and because his formidable combat skills let him take on eight aunties all by himself...
Seriously, doesn't anyone in the whole world care that he sings beautifully?
It's fine. With his clever mind and handsome face, he can handle anything with ease. If he just works hard enough, surely everyone will stop laughing as soon as they see his face.
