Title:I keep getting dragged into fierce competition while struggling in the survival show
在选秀奋斗的我总被迫修罗场
Author: Li Lan
Gu Ye Ning is reborn!
In his previous life, he endured bullying, exclusion, harsh criticism, cyber-bullying, and eventually was abandoned by everyone. At the initial evaluation of the talent show "Starlight Glitter," his appearance was quite striking: full eyeliner, a leather jacket, red roses, and a lively, rustic charm.
Gu Ye Ning: ...Just wait while I take off my makeup first.
In this new life, he plans to avoid risks, aim for a debut in the C position, and follow a path where hard work is rewarded.
Gu Ye Ning: Since you all dislike me so much, I'll focus entirely on my career.
He intends to avoid risks by carefully balancing his appearance and performance, creating a persona that minimizes negative reactions from the audience:
- Can't be too laid-back, or he'll be criticized.
- Can't be too ambitious, or he'll be criticized.
- Can't be too dull, or he'll be criticized.
- Can't be too energetic, or he'll be criticized.
- Can't be too close to others, or he'll be accused of being overly affectionate.
- Can't be too distant from others, or he'll be labeled as an outcast.
Gu Ye Ning is determined to navigate this complex world of expectations and judgments, striving for success on his own terms.
