Socially anxious scarecrow voice actor top x voice-obsessed big-shot black panther bottom
Scarecrow Daoren transmigrated to a beastfolk world penniless, and was discovered by a talent scout thanks to his remarkable range of voices.
In the teaser released by the company, a tall, clean-cut young man stood half in shadow, holding a guitar and softly humming a short original tune.
[Mom, an angel is singing...]
[He looks so much like a human! What animal is he?]
The teaser went viral overnight. In a beastfolk world that idolized humans, everyone looked forward to the debut of this highly anticipated new star. Everything was ready, all they needed was the final push.
But on the eve of his debut, a company shareholder's grandson swooped in and took his place. Daoren's debut plans fell through, and he was forced to switch careers and become a behind-the-scenes voice double.
Daoren breathed a sigh of relief and silently gave himself a little cheer.
The reason was simple: he was socially anxious.
Free from the spotlight, Daoren thrived. With his help alone, an idol who couldn't sing or dance became the group's top-tier star and lead vocalist, winning countless beastfolk fans.
But the good times didn't last. The truth that the idol used a voice double came out, and his career collapsed.
So Daoren found a new job, only for that singer's career to collapse in record time too. Then came a host, an online celebrity, and more...
Forced to work overtime, Daoren endured it all in silence, until one day an anonymous exposé shot up the trending charts and dominated the headlines across every entertainment site.

Before Daoren, realizing something was terribly wrong, could make a run for it, he was told his former employer had sold him off to the leading entertainment company in the industry.
Numbly, Daoren walked into the president's office at his new company, only to find his own songs playing on repeat.
The black panther CEO sat behind his desk, his beautiful golden eyes fixed on Daoren, while his glossy tail swished happily behind him.
"I have a plan that'll make everyone happy," Bai Zong said with a smile, reaching out to Daoren. "Would you like to hear it?"
Daoren stared at the handsome dark-skinned man before him, his eyes slowly widening.
Few people knew that Daoren had a side job as a sleep companion. Every night, he spent hours chatting online with his patron and soothing him to sleep.
And Bai Zong's voice was exactly the same as that gentle, patient, flirtatious patron's.
Daoren woozily answered, "Sure," without noticing the flash of obsession in Bai Zong's eyes.
Several months later, Daoren made a huge splash, debuting as both a singer and a voice actor.
His songs played in every street and alley, and voice acting offers poured in. Yet Daoren himself rarely showed his real face.
In the few photos the media managed to capture, the young man had fair skin and beautiful, gentle features.
Bai Zong put down his phone and looked at the little scarecrow beside him, sitting ramrod straight with the tips of his ears bright red. He opened his bathrobe, revealing a crooked character for "correct" written across his smooth, delicate waist.
"I've taken care of the paparazzi's photos," Bai Zong said, lightly twirling a strand of Daoren's hair around his finger. "Shall we get back to work... superstar?"
