After five years of training and half a year as a debut candidate, Jiang Zhuo should have been able to debut smoothly alongside his fellow members as an all-around ace trainee. But just as the group was about to make its debut, someone with connections above him took his place. No one knew when his next chance to debut would come.
Jiang Zhuo argued with the company, but all he got for his trouble was one word: wait.
Wait **.
Back in his cramped dorm room, Jiang Zhuo had been planning to go home, pack up, and become a dance instructor. Then, in an inconspicuous corner, he found the cheap business card someone had slipped him earlier.
"Hey, kid! You've got great bone structure and a handsome face. Want to become a trainee at our company? We'll guarantee you a debut within a year!"
Figuring he might as well give it a try, Jiang Zhuo lugged his bags to the door of ST Entertainment and knocked.
But...
The shabby practice room, the plain teammates, the not-so-bright manager...
Jiang Zhuo's vision went black. Compared with his old company, this place was completely unreliable!
Just as he was about to make his debut in a daze and drag the entire group along with him
Huh? How did they get a number-one spot? How did they win Best Boy Group? How did they get Best Album?
Huh? How did they become top-tier stars?
The inspirational version:
March, the miracle boy group from a small company.
With an average of five years of training per member, they carved out a path of their own in a market that had already been divided up by all the major companies.
On the fifth anniversary of their debut, after winning the Artist of the Year award, Jiang Zhuo said:
"The way I felt when we got our first number-one spot two years after debuting is the same way I feel now.
Some people think that a group that wins this award has already reached the peak of their career.
But March won't stop here. Just as we did when we got our first number-one spot three years ago, we'll treat this award as our starting point.
March is always on the road.
Thank you, everyone!"
The main character will go through quite a few setbacks at first. If you're only interested in feel-good stories, you can let it build up and skip ahead to when they make it big. If you like watching characters grow, jump right in. "Winks"
None of the people in this story correspond to real people!

Promoting my new novel: Click to Watch the Little Internet Celebrity Take on a Talent Show
Lou Xiao used to be a dance blogger and then a looks blogger. When his company told him he was being sent to compete on a talent show, he initially refused.
Come on, he had no lofty ambitions to begin with. After gaining a hundred thousand followers from one close-up video, he'd promptly abandoned dance, even though it had been a dream he'd pursued for years.
"Have you seen how bad your video stats have been lately? Do you still want to eat?"
After the person in charge gave him a thorough scolding, Lou Xiao's protests were ignored and he was packed off to Star Selection 101.
Lou Xiao had intended to go through the motions, make himself known, then leave. But the moment he stepped onto the stage, a long-suppressed passion awakened within him.
He wanted dazzling lights shining down on him, and the cheers of thousands below the stage belonging to him alone.
He wanted to shine onstage. He wanted to become a star for others and for himself.
*The main character is chaotic good, sharp-tongued, has a weak sense of morality, and loves giving blunt critiques.
*No real person is represented. Please don't assume the characters are based on anyone.
Theme: There aren't that many stars destined to shine from birth. Keeping your feet on the ground is what really matters.
How should I put it? From the last book to this one, one of my biggest feelings is that the author is really good at writing sour literature. The descriptions of people's hearts and what the members encounter in their troughs, as well as the changes in their mentality, are very accurate, and it is still very unique in the world of online literature. But there are also shortcomings. The most obvious one is that the author is not very good at writing exciting articles. Of course, I know this book is not labeled as a cool novel, so what I am referring to is the transformation of the protagonist group from dull to popular, which is not quite right. Even under the premise of "hard work", it still became popular too quickly and too suddenly. As a result, the life of the top boy band later became like a mirror, with castles in the air. It felt like the final fantasy of a certain member of the protagonist group before they died. Moreover, the life of the protagonist after reaching the top has not been easy. It seems that he is still involved in various annoying disputes such as "wrangling with the company", "being scolded by the opponent", and "relying on fans' data to create a top that is only visible to fans". Even because he and the members were too busy, I felt that he was not as happy as he was in the early stage. At least at that time, the members were still seeing each other with their heads down, and he still had unlimited expectations for the idol industry, instead of being exhausted from the hellish schedule. Overall, I still like it very much. It is a very unique genre among boy band stories. It's just that it's a bit tiring to read too many descriptions of fan quarrels. In the later stage, I have to rip off almost every other chapter. It makes me feel that the main character only brings to the fans the data-like work day after day and the extremely violent star-chasing experience. However, there is too little description of "the positive impact of idols on fans". But this can be regarded as the author's characteristic. He is unique in the field of sour reality flow.
The ending is spreading flowers [Spreading flowers] [Spreading flowers] [Spreading flowers] Ah ah, actually I don't have any real feelings about the ending [ bursting into tears ] I'm so reluctant to part with it [ bursting into tears ] I hope I can see the extras, but now I'm starting to have a withdrawal reaction [ melted ]
It's so nice, the friendship started since childhood 😚
Shaojiang is really good. I thought at first that Shao was going to a prostitute. (Teammates are also very good)
It's really, really well written, and I basically read it in one sitting. Special thanks for seeing this tweet on Xiaohongshu. I didn't miss such a beautiful book (//∇//) I feel like there are many authors who write this kind of articles, but there are very few who write about career lines so well, in so many ways, and with such a sense of accomplishment! I just like the big top Jiang Jiang hehe The friendship between the members and the characters are also well developed, making me worry and happy from the perspective of the protagonist. Thank you for being so diligent and writing so well!
The ending still feels a bit rushed
Alas, the barrage is like a group of humans and machines who only know how to quarrel. It is not the kind of quarrel that is immoral and boring. In a sense, it is quite realistic.
The thought of transferring money to this bullshit company makes me feel helpless.
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...
Finished, I personally feel that the completeness of this story is much higher than the previous one. I also hope that the author can continue to improve. I suggest that the writing power of positive descriptions can be strengthened, because I feel that the author's emotions are in place when writing about setbacks or small trials, but the emotion is a little lacking when it comes to highlights or moments of glory, so it is a bit difficult for me to tell whether they have reached the top and become popular or are between the first and second tiers, but it is still very interesting. Are you going to write about the talent show later? I also like to watch the talent show. I don't know if it's the protagonist drama or the group portrait, the passionate style or Su Shuang's style or the twists and turns (I don't think it's Su Shuang 🐶). I'll keep my manuscripts busy and wait for you to write a new one 😚
