Synopsis:

Yu Nian transmigrates into a romance novel, where he becomes a beautiful cannon fodder in the Entertainment Industry.

He is used to contrast to the Protagonist's innocent, hard-working personality, boosting him to extreme popularity; the Beautiful Cannon Fodder is a vulgar, degenerate, uninteresting, and outrageous vase.

That's what everyone thought.

Until Yu Nian participated in the All-Star Games.

In the Figure Skating Competition at the All-Star Games, the requirements are high and the number of participants is low. Celebrities can win a medal after skating a few laps on the ice, the scene can be described as chickens pecking each other.

When it was Yu Nian's turn to perform, the teenager took off his jacket to reveal a tight-fitting costume that emphasized his narrow waist, slender body, and his long legs—causing many in the audience to have a dry mouth. Before the fans could let out their admiration, Yu Nian landed a Triple Axel.

Fans: "...!"
Referee: "???" \(⊙０⊙)/

After the game, there were rumors that the National Team's Coach was seen backstage of the arena, holding the teenager's hand and was dead set on not letting him leave.

In response, Yu Nian confessed, "Actually, I'm not good at figure skating."
Fans: "You are too modest."

Later, snowboarding, free rock climbing, parkour, alpine skiing.
Fans found out that he was really not good at figure skating. He was an extreme sports athlete.
99 curved Tongtian Avenue.
The summit of Chieftain Rock, a vertical mountain of three thousand feet.
Surfing on a giant wave with a height of 30 meters on the North Beach of Nazare.
Kawagarbo, a sacred mountain that refuses to be climbed by human beings.

Impressions: I was reading The Fake Young Master Just Want to Win Glory for the Country, but I put it on hold for now (stopped MTL at c35) cos I couldn't quite get into it. I felt that the MC was very...immature. It's sports but he encounters a lot of things when he's competing, like fuel leakage (he's a racer), racial discrimination, malicious paparazzi. And then there's his rebirth, the true and fake young master setup, and now, he's even going to appear in a movie... there's too many things going on aside from the sports so I stopped for now and then looked for another sports BL. This is it!

So our MC is VERY OP. His parents are great, his grandparents are great and he inherited ALL of their talents, our MC is such a cheat. Rich, handsome, good family, talented in music, dance, painting, calligraphy etc. Then he transmigrates as a vase cannonfodder in an entertainment circle novel. OG's role in the book is to set off the protagonist, OG is a vase, protagonist has acting skill. OG has NO TALENT, protagonist is talented in many things, OG climbs investor's beds, protagonist is clean and pure...

After coming into the book, all of our MC's talents are SEALED.  Dance, music, painting, all the things he's learned are sealed by the world. When he refuses his agent's suggestion to drink with the producer (which deviated from the book plot), an Extreme Sports System binds with him. System will give him tasks and every time he accomplishes them, the shackles on his talent will be removed one by one. These are extreme sports tasks, like winning formal competitions or completing courses. He has a timeless System space to practice on and a System-generated coach to teach him. Of course, the world is still malicious to him, for example, he will encounter setbacks like bad weather so he won't be able to practice before the competition. Or malicious editing in the program group so that he won't overshadow the limelight of the protagonist. The 'world' doesn't want him to be brilliant/escape from the book plot. And MC is unwilling to follow its will.

Regarding the ML, they meet early, but I have a feeling this is going to be slow romance (Both of them have calm personalities). Uhm, regarding our ML, he actually has a hearing disability(?) where in he has a problem comprehending spoken words. There's no problem if it's written, but if its spoken then the ML would not understand it, he can hear it but his brain won't translate. Anyways, whether it's the MC fighting against fate by being brilliant in sports or the ML's condition, its quite interesting to me. 

Too bad this has been in hiatus since 2020 :( So much potential ah! ლ(́◉◞౪◟◉‵ლ) It hasn't entered V/paid subscription yet in jjwxc. Hope the author-sama is just brewing a big move and will drop a mass release. (A girl can dream~~~)

Nearest reco: I Became A Big Star After I Quit The Entertainment Industry with a System space for training and MC being active in sports, with entertainment circle plot on the side.
