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.

Reading Notes:

1. A max-level Boss returning to the Novice Village. The story begins with a talent show and leads to dominance in acting, singing, and variety. The talent show structure is inspired by the traditional “Produce 101” format.

2. The protagonist is a calm and collected master of the scene.

3. No real-life references—please do not assume character inspirations. Collapse

    This was really good. Short but well-written. The translation is also great and comprehensible.

    MC understands how the entertainment industry and the people works—really valid because of how he worked for the system before coming back to his original world. There are some obstacles but he knows clearly how to handle them well.

    His personality is also great. Never arrogant, never timid. Just the right amount of confidence that is fully backed by his skills. He is quite the lovable character, honestly.

    This is also not just some simpe face-slapping story—though it does have plenty of those satisfying moments. There are a lot of complexities and emotions of the human mind tackled in here. Some are clearly displayed while some are subtle. This made the story more human.

    There were a lot of funny moments, but there were also those bittersweet ones that will make you reflect about life and relationships(not romantic ones. This novel doesn't have romance.)

    The only regret I have is that I read too fast. I finished reading in 2 days lol.

    Just a little rant(not complaints) because I still feel the bittersweet moments that happened(and also from the post-reading emotions)—contains spoilers:
