Do You Have Any Idea How Valuable a Boy Group Ace Is?!

ACE means ace, or trump card. In an idol group, the ACE is the member with the strongest all-around ability and the greatest influence. They’re the conceptual core and the group’s most indispensable soul. If a boy band has no widely recognized ACE, either all its members are one-trick ponies or they’re all bad at something different. Quentin, 25, of Chinese-American heritage, has been named “the world’s most commercially successful original singer” for five consecutive years. He has over 200 million followers on Instagram. Every new album takes the internet by storm, debuting at number one on all the major charts. His YouTube music videos have repeatedly passed ten billion views, one tour grossed over a billion dollars, and his annual royalties exceed a hundred million. This legendary top-tier star of his era dies of an illness. After his death, he is bound to an AI calling itself the Redemption System and transmigrates into an entertainment-industry novel where every character gets a bad ending. The novel is an ensemble story set in the modern entertainment industry. Its six protagonists are aspiring young men who make it through a popular boy-band audition show. They share a deep bond and become hugely famous, but fall victim to all kinds of scum and villains. In the end, some fade into obscurity while others go their separate ways. In the novel’s final chapter, one of the group members takes his own life with an overdose after suffering from depression. Years later, the other five reunite at his funeral. They look at one another in silence, and a single “take care” brings more than a decade of friendship to an end. Quentin’s mission after transmigrating into the book is to join the group and help all six members reach a happy ending! In his previous life, Quentin shot to fame at a young age and made his way alone through the Western entertainment industry, stumbling into just about every pitfall there was. As a boy, he was stubborn and fearless. If anyone dared provoke him, he’d bite back ten times harder. This attitude of “the world is big, but I’m the biggest” left him on bad terms with practically everyone in the industry. If he hadn’t been so talented and gifted, they would have dragged his name through the mud and buried him where he’d never crawl out. Unfortunately, even after reaching the very top, Quentin had made few friends he could truly talk to. Would things be different this time? Quentin gazed at the face of the seventeen-year-old boy in the mirror and thought, I hope so.

The pairing is Jin Sui, who appears late in the story. Both leads are each other’s first love. ② The protagonist is ridiculously perfect. The boy-band members have a purely platonic bond, with no romance between them, just sincere friendship. ③ No romance while he’s in the group. He’s focused on working hard and pursuing his career. ④ None of the characters are based on real people. Please don’t associate them with real-life celebrities. Upcoming story: This Bookworm Is Way Too Hot Synopsis: Jiang Yi is a bookworm. Dark circles and square-framed glasses are practically part of him. He excels academically and has an extraordinary talent for studying. After twelve years of hard work, he finally leaves his impoverished village, where educational standards are poor. At the urging of his many relatives, he applies to study finance at a prestigious 985 university. As a result, he’s assigned to a men’s dorm full of rich second-generation heirs. And so begins his wildly chaotic college life. * The bookworm is sensible and levelheaded, slow to understand his feelings, and carries the hopes of his entire village on his shoulders. His mind is full of nothing but studying. His life should have followed a predictable path: graduate, get a job, earn money, buy a car and a house, pay off the mortgage, then return to his hometown as his parents wish. There, he’d be set up with a local girl from a family his parents know, get married, have children, and lead an ordinary but happy life. But the bookworm doesn’t know that he has a face so handsome he’d stand out even in the entertainment industry, and a perfectly proportioned body with an even skin tone. Even without his dull, serious manner, his looks alone would make him the favorite topic of conversation among his college classmates. There’s a lot the bookworm doesn’t know. For instance, his roommate A, who acts like he looks down on him and constantly puts him down, secretly helps wash his bedsheets. For instance, roommate B, who complains all the time about their cramped dorm, has already bought a house near campus outright and is eager to drag him there for some quality time alone. For instance, roommate C, who’s always draping an arm around him, loves burying his face in the crook of Jiang Yi’s neck and taking a deep breath. His hands also wander over Jiang Yi’s waist and back. This isn’t just boys horsing around. He’s openly taking advantage of him! And then there’s the fact that men sharing a bed all the time is really strange. Only Jiang Yi thinks they’re good buddies sleeping side by side… Most importantly, the bookworm from a poor, backward village has no idea that men can fall in love with men, too. P.S. A gorgeous, popular bottom. So perfect, so perfect, so perfect! Theme: Ability and talent are the foundation for success.
