From Talent Show to Superstar

If life were a story divided into protagonists and supporting characters, Xie Xizhao had always been cast as the cannon fodder.

As a boy band member, he was the least popular outsider, the weak leader ostracized by his teammates.

As an actor, he was a background extra, a nameless figure mocked by gossip columns.

Just when he finally rose to fame as a singer, tragedy struck—an anti-fan poisoned his throat with a special dr*g, ruining his voice forever. Reduced to obscurity, he met an untimely end in a sudden car accident.

The moment he closed his eyes, Xie Xizhao calmly watched the montage of his exceptionally unlucky life.

When he opened them again, he found himself back at the very beginning.

Employee 001 of the Time-Space System, Xie Xizhao, had finally reached full completion and was officially retiring. All the employees of the system celebrated his departure.

As a key member of the “Cannon Fodder Division” in the entertainment industry, Xie Xizhao’s hard work over the years had not gone unnoticed.

Someone patted him on the shoulder and sighed, “It’s been tough. It’s over now.”

Xie Xizhao smiled, finished his celebratory drink, and replied, “Not tough at all. It’s just beginning.”

Half a month later, Xie Xizhao returned to his original body.

Six months later, the entertainment industry witnessed the debut of the strongest dark horse in history—a triple-threat rising to the very top.
