My agency went bankrupt before I even got on stage.

Gao Shan is a 996 office worker with few hobbies. She likes to watch variety shows to escape from the endless work and get a breather, so as to avoid becoming a slave to her job.

Recently, she caught up with a talent show called "Morning Star," which is now in its sixth season and has launched several wildly popular idol groups. However, Gao Shan isn't a fan of celebrities, so she's not familiar with it and doesn't really care about it.

Gao Shan only enjoys watching those handsome trainees sing and dance, drawing inspiration from them to emulate the positive, energetic, and courageous spirit of youth—qualities she herself has lost.

The sixth season of Morning Star was revamped, changing from pre-recorded to live, which was a bit unfriendly to Gao Shan, since who among adults has time to watch live every day?

Don't you need to make a living?

Fortunately, there are edited versions available on the official platform, providing viewers who missed the live stream with the option to catch up. For most viewers, this is no different from the previous recorded broadcasts, except that the timeliness is slightly worse.

But Gao Shan didn't care. It's a variety show, so it doesn't matter when you watch it.

So Gao Shan only started watching Morning Star Season 6 several days after it premiered.

With sunflower seeds, potato chips, and milk tea ready, Gao Shan reclined on the sofa and played the first episode of the 6th season of "Morning Star" on her phone, showing the initial stage ratings.

Several trainees displayed outstanding abilities on the initial stage and successfully entered Class A.

Is this person royalty? How can someone with this level get into an A program? Is the tutor blind or was he bribed?

Oh my, Li Xiaodong is so cute! He's so chubby and pink, just like the kid next door when I was little. I can't help but want to pinch his cheeks.

Hmm, this Lu Cheng guy is pretty arrogant. He's always talking about wanting to debut as the center, but his performance seems a bit lacking.

Wow! Lin Fan is so handsome!!!

When Gao Shan saw Luo Yu say with a solemn expression, "Your agency has gone bankrupt..." she couldn't help but shed a tear of sympathy for him.

But before she could even feel sentimental, she saw a comment flash across the screen:

[Aunt's unrestrained behavior: High energy ahead! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~]

Gao Shan was puzzled. What kind of exciting moments could there be in watching a talent show? But she was still somewhat looking forward to it.

She continued reading.

Luo Yu: "If you want to sing it, you'll have to buy the copyright yourself..."

Lin Fan: "...Huh?"

That's not the key point. The key point is the show's bizarre editing, which cut Lin Fan's "ah" several times, filling the entire screen!

This is the scene that appears in the eyes of the audience.

Luo Yu: "If you want to sing it, you'll have to buy the copyright yourself..."

Lin Fan: "...Huh?"

"ah?……"

"……what?"

"ah?……"

Looking at Lin Fan's innocent little eyes, Gao Shan initially felt a little sorry for him, but for some reason, she found it inexplicably funny and became even more eager to see what Lin Fan would do next.

As expected, Lin Fan didn't disappoint, immediately declaring, "I'm going to sing an original song!"

Gao Shan was very curious: what original content could an amateur like this have?

Then more comments flooded in.

[So young and already has cat-like antics: Here it comes! High-energy warning ahead!]

[Missing ID: I've been listening to this song on repeat for days! When will Fanfan upload it?]

[Adorable elementary school underachiever: Me too! Me too! I've been hearing this for days!]

[Born Entertainment Reporter Wang: Sisters, Fanfan's song has been uploaded! You can find it by searching the song title! Hehe, I won't spoil it here~~~~]

……

Gao Shan was a little annoyed by the comments. That's how idol fans are. They like to control the comments. Even if the song isn't that good, they still have to praise it. You guys should just keep to your own little world!

She turned off the live comments and continued watching the show.

Just then, a clear male voice came from the phone: "Darling, darling, darling, darling, darling, darling, darling, darling, darling, darling, darling~~~"

There is no accompaniment, no other lyrics, only this one voice softly singing this song, which consists of only one word.

The melody is light and cheerful, and the rhythm is clear and lively, just like a summer sea breeze gently blowing on the cheeks and teasing the wisps of hair on a girl's forehead. A strong image immediately floods into Gao Shan's mind!

This song seems quite different from those songs that idols create by mixing all sorts of rap, English, electronic music, and other elements together to show off their individuality, leaving listeners confused.

Simple yet sophisticated, beautiful yet profound, the entire song contains only one word, yet it seems to encapsulate a thousand words within it.

Gao Shan even felt that after listening to this song, she felt like she could sing it all!

This song is incredibly catchy!

This student named Lin Fan is quite something!

In the program, Luo Yu and Lin Fan had a back-and-forth conversation, revealing Lin Fan's background and experiences to everyone.

How did you come up with this song?

"I'm an orphan... I worked at a bubble tea shop... to earn money to participate in the show... now the company has gone bankrupt. I wrote the song while I was working there..."

What is your dream?

"My dream is to open a bed and breakfast in a tourist area, catering only to single young women!"

Why do you only serve single women?

"I'm single, I want to find a partner!"

The production team even cut out a picture of Lin Fan and made a "marriage advertisement" for him:

Name: Lin Fan

Age: 20

Currently: Single

Requirements: Single lady

Marriage proposal slogan: Let's open a bed and breakfast together!

Gao Shan was overjoyed and couldn't resist clicking on the comments to see what people were saying.

[Forgot to take your medicine today: Hahahaha, the production team is the most outrageous! They even came up with a marriage proposal!]

[The Flexible Fat Guy: While others are auditioning to debut, Lin Fan is auditioning to find a partner!]

[Great minds think alike: Don't rush, there's more to come!]

……

"What else?" Gao Shan couldn't help but read on expectantly.

In the program, Luo Yu asked, "Lin Fan, guess what your initial ranking was?"

Lin Fan: "I wish I were F, so I could be eliminated directly!"

In the comments section.

[Squatting in front of a grave listening to ghost stories: Hahaha, Fan Ge is the most flamboyant of all! He should be eliminated immediately!]

[Yo yo check it out, I said you're such a grandson, you said: What's this? You didn't watch the live stream, it's even more outrageous in the live stream!]

[Happiness is nonsense: Hey sister in front, don't go! Why is Brother Fan being so flirtatious during his livestream?]

[Just kidding: It's nothing really, other trainees are livestreaming singing and dancing, while Fan is livestreaming himself sleeping~~~~]

……

After reading these comments, Gao Shan couldn't bear to watch the rest of the show anymore. Her mind was now focused on Lin Fan, and watching anyone else was a bit boring.

So Gao Shan simply turned off the program and went online to search for Lin Fan's song.

What was the song called again?

Never mind, I'll just search for #LinFan'sFirstStageSong#.
