I Became the Ace After Entering a Boy Band Survival Show

Sunny, straight-up bking gong x frail, beautiful, aloof shou General Song Qing dies on the battlefield, only to wake up in the shabby dorm of a shabby little company. It’s one thing to inexplicably end up in another era, but then his roommate tells him: “Hey, you’re awake. Get ready and go audition for that survival show.” Song Qing is furious! He is the mighty General Song, protector of the realm. How could he ever do something so affected and coquettish?! He’d sooner be a dog than His roommate: “But the penalty fee is five million.” Fine! If a dog won’t do it, he will! Hmph. It’s just dancing, isn’t it? His sword dancing was unparalleled, even in the imperial palace. Who could have guessed he’d run into that person on the show, the one he’d yearned for since childhood? He couldn’t have him in his last life, but in this one... Once the favored child of heaven, the mighty General Song, he has to get the best of everything! So... The center position is mine. And so are you. * Nobody expected Lu Jingyu, a child star once known in every household, to reappear on a survival show years after vanishing, this time as an independent trainee. His sudden disappearance back then shocked the entire internet. Some guessed he’d been blacklisted for refusing the entertainment industry’s unspoken rules; others thought his family had kept him under their thumb. But none of those theories ever got an answer. And who could have imagined he would come back on his own? The moment his stunning face appeared, the entire internet crashed. Was he trying to make a comeback through a survival show? Shock was quickly followed by endless mockery. In the years he’d been away, countless new faces had entered the entertainment industry. The name “Lu Jingyu” belonged to the past. Besides, he was only an actor. How could he compete with trainees for a debut spot? They only wanted to see how someone who’d once stood at the pinnacle of glory would fall from grace. Lu Jingyu gazes silently at the proud throne at the very top. He’s going to reclaim the peak that belongs to him. He always thought it would be a lonely journey, until He met Song Qing, who clings to him more than a dog. Reader’s guide: 1. Set in a fictionalized present.
