Jiang Yubai is reborn, returning to the day before her group signed their debut contracts, eight years ago.
In her previous life, she was the leader of the 4immortal soul group. She and her three teammates, who were also her friends, shared a dream. But after their debut, they were put through hell.
The company exploited them, gave them bizarre assignments, pocketed their pay, restricted their careers, and even threatened their lives.
As the leader, she stood at the front and faced everything for them.
For a chance to promote the group, she took part in all kinds of dangerously high-risk variety shows.
To pay the rent, she slept only three hours a day while working as a martial arts double for several roles.
For a spot onstage, she would face every dark thing in her teammates' place.
But it was all for nothing. Even after the group disbanded, they weren't spared. One by one, things happened to them.
Jiang Yubai looks at her friends, alive and well, and tries to stop them through her tears. "Girls, what if we don't debut?"
But her three best friends look determined. "We have to debut."
"?"
"We're going to be famous."
"..."

After much soul-searching, Jiang Yubai realizes that if she can't stop them from debuting, she'll just coast using her memories of her past life.
Let whoever wants this job do it. She's done working! Let's see how the group manages to make it big!
But the more Jiang Yubai slacks off, the luckier she gets.
Xu You, the lead vocalist, gives Jiang Yubai the songs she's written.
Xu You: "Pick whichever ones you want. They're all future hits."
Jiang Yubai: "Holy crap, they really are."
She never sold her music to support her vampire family members.
Lin Zimeng, the lead dancer, sends Jiang Yubai a video of the dance she's choreographed.
Lin Zimeng: "Sis! It just won an award, and the prize money's been deposited in your account."
Jiang Yubai: "Holy crap, look at all those zeroes."
She never sent the money to her secret boyfriend. She danced so hard that she got over her love-brain.
Qiu Guo, the lead rapper, tells her the truth about her identity.
Qiu Guo: "Of course we won't repeat the old mistakes. We can debut under my family's company."
Jiang Yubai: "Holy crap, a rich heiress who ran away from home."
She used to be so poor she had to eat steamed buns with pickled vegetables.
Jiang Yubai: "All right, all right, so everyone else was reborn. I'm the only useless one in the group."

4immortal soul becomes the year's Group of the Year as a sensational rookie act. He Sen, the youngest Best Actor, presents the award.
"Congratulations." He Sen holds out a bouquet to Jiang Yubai.
Jiang Yubai takes the flowers and whispers as she hugs him, "Next time, please keep your acceptance speech shorter."
