A fake relationship with my favorite idol!?... more>>

Akira Sezai, the perfect idol.

She was my last hope, given that all the idols I admired were gradually stepping away due to issues ranging from revelations about boyfriends to allegations of harassment.

I told myself that she's the final idol I'll be supporting.

Sheng Quan transmigrated into a novel in the entertainment industry that she had read before, and she even acquired a system.... more>>

The system stated: “Sorry, I’m a novice system. I can only provide you with money, nothing else.”

Sheng Quan looked at the balance in her account that could instantly make her the world’s richest: “You’re being modest.”

However, the system added:

“You can use them, but you can only invest in outstanding talents with excellent character who are currently at a low point in their lives. You’ll get a return only if the investment is successful.”

For ordinary people, this would be challenging. But Sheng Quan is a character who transmigrated, which means she has a god-like perspective that ordinary people don’t possess.

With thoughts full of money, she calmly counted:

* The gentle actor struggling with a tight budget who can’t land roles

* The gloomy song god whose singing career was destroyed despite a passion for singing

* The talented female director whose brilliance is hindered by a lack of funds

* The idol actor who loves the stage but lacks opportunities to perform

Sheng Quan waved the handfuls of money in her hands: There’s so much that I can’t even count; I’m going to make a fortune.

Reading Guide:

*The female lead is career-oriented.

* Wealth accumulation from rags to riches <<less

When they first met, Qin Yiyu saw Nan Yi holding a liquor bottle from the doorway, and thought he was there to collect debts.... more>>

But he actually said: “I’m forming a band, to participate in a competition. We’re missing a lead vocalist who can play guitar.”

Qin Yiyu: Oh, it would be better if he came to collect debts.

He agreed in the end, because he didn’t want to give up such a talented bassist.

— Later —

Nan Yi: Qin Yiyu is my target.

Qin Yiyu: (bulb lighting up) likes me.

Nan Yi: We can be friends.

Qin Yiyu: Understood, lip service friendship1. I don’t mind kissing you even though I’m a straight man.

Nan Yi: (inhale)

Qin Yiyu: He really loves me.

—-—

During the competition, no one had high hopes for this new band. Even the staff was talking about it backstage.

“The bassist sure is handsome, but you can’t rely on looks to eat. The drummer is said to have a temper so bad that he’s almost beaten people up. The keyboardist seems to be a bank employee who was fired. Coupled with a popular lead vocalist with a terrible personality who had been kicked out of his previous band, how can this kind of makeshift band win?”

Yet the four of them were right behind them.

Yan Ji: “Get it right, I wasn’t fired but resigned voluntarily, and it was an investment bank, not a bank.”

Chi Zhiyang: “What crap are you spewing! How is my temper bad!”

Qin Yiyu: “In such a long sentence, only the first four words are worth hearing. A person as perfect as myself, the only people who can insult me are either my close friends, or the reincarnation of the violin— a worthless thing.”

Staff: (embarrassed) (cold sweat) (speechless)

Nan Yi said coldly: “Excuse me, the grassroot band is about to go on stage.”
