I Was Forced to Become an Idol

(All songs in this story are written by me. The competition format is based on Produce 101, and the pacing is on the slow side.)

After dying, Xie Gongqiu was bound to an idol System. Once revived, he had to become a qualified idol.

He had no choice. If he wanted to stay alive, he could only agree.

But could a talentless nobody like him, who couldn't dance or sing and had no looks to speak of, really become an idol?

Looking at his blurry face in the photo album generated by the System inside the box, Xie Gongqiu came up with a plan.

He could be useless for now and learn to sing and dance later, but there was no way he could be ugly. People who cared about looks would always be more forgiving toward the beautiful, and wouldn't show even a little mercy to the ugly.

Besides, his resume wasn't impressive either. The first round of resume screening at Tiancheng Entertainment would definitely be based on looks. So if he wanted to become a trainee there without any talent, a handsome face was a must.
