The Foolish Little Beauty Goes Viral by Being Delicate [Showbiz]

In another world, beauty is judged by strength.

Lu Xi was born frail and classified as the weakest Esper, with no followers at all.

The strong had access to abundant resources, which greatly helped them level up. Lu Xi gazed at their big noses, broad chins, and prominent foreheads, eyes shining with envy. They were all so handsome...

After losing consciousness during an illness, Lu Xi transmigrated to a parallel universe, arriving in a world obsessed with celebrities just in time for a fan meeting with a male top-tier star.

Anxious about his looks, Lu Xi wore a black mask and black hat, covering himself from head to toe and leaving only his beautiful eyes visible.

"Whenever people discuss who's the most handsome in showbiz, our oppa is always number one."

"Exactly! When it comes to looks, our oppa has nothing to worry about!"

"Ahhh, he's here! So handsome, so handsome!"

Pushed into a corner, Lu Xi stood on tiptoe to peer over the crowd. This man was the most handsome? Then how strong was he? What kind of ability did he have?

With lights flashing and drums thundering, a third of the way through Shining Idol, Lu Xi stood in the center position. "Thank you, everyone! I love you!"

Being an idol wasn't the goal. Fans were like followers, and gaining more of them could actually increase his combat power in the other world...

Lu Xi: Time to work hard at charming my fans!

But online, opinions about him were sharply divided.

On one side:

"Lulu is so cute, my heart is melting!"

"Waaah, my precious Lulu, look at me! Mom loves little dummies the most!"

"My silly husband is definitely debuting in the center position!"

On the other side:

Lu Xi liked hanging out with trainees who weren't particularly good-looking but were very strong. Meanwhile, he was neither close nor distant with the male top-tier star mentor or the popular high-ranking contestants, earning the ire of fans from both camps.

"Is Lu Xi ever a fake sweetheart! He's definitely deliberately hanging out with trainees who aren't as good-looking as him to make himself look better. What a scheming villain!"

"Why hasn't he been eliminated yet? Besides being good-looking, what can he even do?"

"What era is this, pretending to be an innocent sweetheart? Just seeing him makes me want to throw up last night's dinner!"

Lu Xi: Why does it feel like both sides are cursing me? No, I'm getting cyberbullied. I need to spit up some blood to calm down.

That night, the trending topic was #LuXiVomitsBloodDuringFilming.

Haters: "???"

"He's faking it, right? He has to be faking it!"

Lu Xi replied on social media: Thank you for your concern. My stomach's a little upset, but I definitely won't let it interfere with practice. I'll bring you the most amazing performance, so let's look forward to it together!

The media caught Lu Xi returning to the practice room after leaving the hospital that night. He didn't get back to the dorm until three in the morning.

"I used to be a casual viewer, now I'm a fan. This little idol works so hard!"

"I'm in! Waiting for him to blow up!"

"Lulu, get super famous!!!"

Lu Xi's career was flourishing, making his fellow contestants jealous. They deliberately tampered with his safety harness, hoping to see him make a fool of himself, or even get hurt.

Lu Xi tugged at the harness around his waist. This thing is such a nuisance. Huh? Why did it snap? Guess I'll just fly on my own.

Then a few seconds of fan footage spread across the internet.

"Ahhh, Lulu is so cool!! His fight scenes are so sharp!"

Meanwhile, Lu Xi clung to the martial arts instructor, who was incredibly handsome in his eyes. "Teacher, how did you do that move just now? Teach me again."

Lu Xi: Get stronger! I have to get stronger!!

4. The protagonist travels back and forth between two worlds, with more emphasis on showbiz. He's physically frail, but later becomes a formidable fighter in the other world.
