Chapter 1

Good news: I’ve transmigrated, and I have an entertainment system.

Bad news: I need to bind with a girl to activate it.

Good news: Binding successful, and I was rewarded with a duet song.

Bad news: Netizens think the song is too rustic, and I can’t even sing.

Good news: I only have two lines to sing!

The concert begins.

Audience: This female singer is such a diva, why did she bring a bodyguard on stage?

At the end of the concert.

Brian Clark put down his skewer and came to the stage for a duet.

Audience: Damn, the bodyguard is singing!!!

After transmigrating, Brian Clark relied on his outstanding partner to make a name for himself in the entertainment industry, all so he could keep lying flat.

—He chose to have five kids with his partner!

Chapter 1: The It Takes Two System

"Brian Clark, let’s break up."

"Little Emily, are you serious? What about our three years of wonderful memories?"

"That just means you have a good memory."

"What about the vows you once made to me?"

"Those are just idioms. Please, stop pestering me."

"6."

Brian Clark stood there, dazed, watching the back of his "former self’s" girlfriend of three years as she walked away. When she was about to open the door of her luxury car, he finally couldn’t hold back.

"Hey, what if I don’t mind the three of us being together?"

"Are you crazy?!"

The engine roared to life. After being given the cold shoulder, Brian Clark stood disheveled in the wind as the countdown on the transparent panel before his eyes changed from yellow to flashing red.

[Time remaining to bind the It Takes Two Entertainment System: 00:19:59.]

Urgent! Urgent! Urgent!

That’s right, the man who just got dumped in front of the Huaxia Academy of Arts was a transmigrator, now inhabiting the body of a senior in the composition department on a planet called Blue Star, who shared his name.

This planet’s background is exactly like those in entertainment novels: society is at the same stage as Earth, but the entertainment industry is completely different.

Before transmigrating, Brian Clark had just celebrated his twenty-sixth birthday. Among his peers, he was considered successful, running a well-sized dance training center in a first-tier city.

Last night, after work, he was driving home, window down, enjoying the evening breeze and listening to instrumental music. When the "Interstellar" soundtrack came on loop, he felt so immersed, as if he were piloting a spaceship about to dock at a space station ahead.

In a daze, a loud noise sounded in his ear, and Brian Clark was suddenly transmigrated. But instead of ending up in five-dimensional space or a cornfield, he found himself on a planet called Blue Star.

As a veteran reader of entertainment novels, upon learning about this cultural background, he immediately thought of dominating the world with plagiarized works. Excited, the entertainment system arrived as well, but after a hasty binding, he realized he’d been tricked.

After reading the system instructions, he learned that this system was a scammer—it would temporarily seal away his entertainment memories, and he’d have to buy the things he knew from his previous life from himself in this one.

Not being able to plagiarize at will wasn’t so bad; after all, relying on memory to plagiarize is overly idealistic and as hard as recreating something from scratch. If the system just rewarded him directly, it would be like a power-up.

But the real pitfall was that this entertainment system had an extra condition: he needed to bind with a girl to work together in the entertainment industry.

After digesting the host’s memories, the newly arrived Brian Clark immediately sought out his predecessor’s girlfriend, only to experience a second breakup as soon as he found her.

The previous breakup had happened a week ago—

Brian Clark: "If you don’t love me anymore, just tell me. Let’s part on good terms. Little Emily, I’m so tired."

Emily Thompson: "I don’t love you anymore."

Brian Clark: "I don’t believe it."

That’s right, his predecessor was a hopeless simp.

And his predecessor’s girlfriend was a pragmatic woman who always sought the best, even secretly looking for better options while they were dating.

With graduation approaching, the two had originally planned to participate in a music talent show together, but she secretly teamed up with the top student in the composition department to compete as partners.

When his predecessor found out, his heart bled, and he kept trying to win her back with emotional appeals. But after three years with her, he knew his chances were slim, since he couldn’t compare to her new flame in any way.

First, professionally, he was no match. The other guy was already taking composition gigs in college, and one of his most popular pieces was a viral BGM on short video platforms.

As for their combined strength as a duo, his own singing was mediocre, while the other guy, also a composition major, was an amazing singer who had won the campus singing competition’s male gold award two years in a row.

Family background? He was completely outclassed. The only thing he had over the other guy was his looks.

Back when he managed to win his girlfriend, his looks played a huge role—he was the kind of guy who could satisfy her vanity just by going out together.

Yeah, the kind of web novel male lead with no sense of immersion: nine out of ten are handsome, and the last one isn’t, but even then, he’s not that bad.

Back to the present...

Just now, as Brian Clark watched the time on the transparent panel tick away, realizing his golden cheat was about to disappear, he panicked and blurted out something so shameless.

There’s nothing more pathetic than begging to stay after being dumped. Sigh!
