My Idol Trainee Life? I Was The World's Top Actor!

My last memory was dying on set, the undisputed Film Emperor Qin Lu. Now, I'm just a high school kid, blinking under the merciless glare of an idol talent show stage. No training, no company, just an absurd excuse about my sister to get me here. Every mentor's eye screamed 'failure.' This wasn't my world, these weren't my skills. I was a fish out of water, expected to drown. Yet, decades of industry instincts coursed through my veins. Every gesture, every nuanced emotion, every strategic interaction — they were the tools of a master. I wasn't singing or dancing perfectly, but I was performing perfectly. My 'natural charm' was the accumulated wisdom of a legend. This wasn't about winning, it was about proving that even without the flashy tricks, true talent always shines. As my quiet confidence began to dismantle the competition, earning baffling 'C' grades that hinted at something more, I knew my biggest challenge wasn't the next performance. It was keeping my terrifyingly sharp wit and the soul of a veteran actor hidden from an industry that demanded only fresh, young faces.
