MILD SPOILERS So another novel dealing with actors/actresses in China's entertainment industry. LOL. I read the first 60 translated chapters available and had to read the rest through MTL (it was fairly understandable) because that's how much the story caught my attention. Also, for a webnovel this one isn't actually that long ending at 680 chapters. The FL this time is a well educated, rich lady named Feng Nan who wakes up in the body of another girl (Jiang Se). She gets into acting to earn money because of her less than ideal family life and it was also the OG!JS's dream to enter the entertainment industry. There's also someone else residing in her body but as to whether that is the OG!JS you'll have to read the story to find out! One of the highlights for me is the way the author describes the plot of the movies that she films when the film critics watch her movie. I feel like I ended up watching the films myself as I read through the author's descriptions because I could really imagine them. There's an ML who is not a dick but is actually sweet and respectful (the bar is so low!). Their romance is pretty understated as the novel mainly focuses on JS's journey from being a mere extra to being a box office queen. There's also rivalry between actresses, but I like how there was no use of drugs or getting someone else raped to reach their goals. There's some scheming going on but it's all aboveboard and is what truly happens in this industry, which is so refreshing to read. I'm so tired of reading other novels where a rival digs up a trap for the FL that involves drugs/rape like that's disturbing. The OG!FN in JS's body is the embodiment of class and she's intelligent, witty, has high EQ, ambitious in a good way, and you'll end up really liking her. She doesn't even rely that much on the ML too and they're often separated than together because they're both busy with their respective careers. I wish this novel can be chosen soon and more translated chapters will be released so more people can read this gem of a story!

⚠️Spoiler Alert⚠️ Good story!! I already finished reading this novel using google translate 😭😅🤣 Another FL that become an actress. That might sound boring but it wasn't. Another thing is that bizzare reborn but in another body and the original body had been occupied with another soul! The story mostly focus on FL journey from someone who had nothing but pretty face to an entertainment queen and become the winner of life. FL: Jiang Se (a.k.a. real Feng Nan) ML: Pei Yi FL is very intellegent (high IQ and EQ) and describe as one of a kind beauty. Because of her previous identity, daughter from high class family that wouldn't lack anything, her demeanor truly engaved in her soul and also something that differentiate her from other actress. She adapts very well to her situation, doesn't complain that much, work hard to achieve something that she wants and cerish her life at the present. She enters the film industry because the lack of money to finish college (at the beginning only, later her motivation change). I could see the character development of FL especially when it comes to ML. ML also not the usual cold sculpter, yes he's cold to others, but he isn't that perfect in a sense because he still has some rebellious phase like every teenager had. ML come from a very respectful family ans 5years younger than real Feng Nan but 1 years younger to Jiang Se. What admireable about him are he only like also fall in love with FL regardless of her current identity. He realizes his shortcoming especially in his behaviour and willing to changes just to give FL a more stable and better future. I could totally see his transformation from being a immature young man to a man that carry his responsibility and protect his loved one. He's also the first person that recognize FL in her current identity. He really plays a big part on FL character development. The story won't be that heavy with lots of family and villains drama but sometimes I still cried because of what FL said and did (I can relate to her) also because of the film plot that FL played. FL family??? Depend on which family or relative we are referring to 😉 Whose soul that occupies FL real body? Hehe... Let's keep it a secret for now 😁 ✔No mayor misuderstanding ✔Capable MC ✔No white lotus ✔MC doesn't smoke Surprisingly I could still pick some lesson from the story: how to cherish a life, cherish your own life, live the present, try to overcome your fear, and be a responsible person... Happy reading!! [img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=update]

It was rather eventful but anticlimactic so far. Being in a scenario where her soul was swap, she's smart to adapt to her situation but to my chagrin she was too calm about it. Very calm, knowing that somebody was occupying her body I would rather her contact her family, friends or anyone she can trust. Or just send an anonymous message stating that the 'FENG NAN' now was soul swap. Even if they don't believe it subtle changes will make them doubt. At least with that, the one using MC's original body cannot do as she please blemishing the MC's reputation. And if they went to the point that they believe it they will track the sender which will end up finding the MC in Jiang Se's body. With that 'FENG NAN' and 'JIANG SE' will have a face off and the MC's family will certainly find a solution. It was better this way than seeing the MC struggling in the entertainment industry working her way up from being an extra while having 'FENG NAN' doing as she please with right money and influence. Or maybe this is happening because the author has something to offer. I don't know and that's what I need to find out. Writing wise, it's okay for me, just the issue above mentioned. I think this has a lot to offer since it has an interesting plot which needs to be anticipated. There's also a lot of loose ends as well that if wisely used can be pretty interesting. However if the author keeps on dragging it I'll eventually lose interest in it. I've have read the first 60 chapters, yes its development was good but the problem itself was not address aside from having the MC suspicious. If you are asking who's the ML it's PEI YI (I think) so it's childhood sweetheart romance.

Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Kang Li woke up in the body of the sickly beauty, the youngest daughter of the Kang family in Aoli Village, who had been spoiled and pampered all her life. The original host had a tough life, first being dumped, then marrying a divorced man in a fit of anger to become a stepmother, only to find herself unfortunately becoming the control set for another stepmother in the courtyard. She could certainly be considered a top contender for cannon fodder among supporting female characters. But to Kang Li, none of this was a problem. All she knew was that the so-called divorced man was a returned overseas research talent, busy with work, with a high salary and good looks, and was hardly ever at home. In these times, where food and clothing were scarce and communication was done by shouting, marrying him was nothing but good news to her, who just wanted to live the life of a salted fish. Kang's Mother: ...my daughter's gone silly! Brothers (sisters-in-law, nephews, and nieces): ...our sister (young auntie) has gone mad! However, apart from the head of the household, Captain Kang, the rest of the family were all sweating on Kang Li's behalf, worried that the delicate and frail treasure of the house (sister, young aunt) wouldn't be able to handle the grievances of being a stepmother and might hurt herself from the stress. The villagers who knew about the Kang family's situation gathered together, spewing sour words and gossiping, especially those who bore no good will and were just waiting to see the Kang family's downfall. Yet, Kang Li's life after marriage was not only blissful, but her husband doted on her, her stepchildren adored her, calling her mom the moment they opened their mouths. They clung to her like people possessed, and the wife (stepmother) had them following her every step. A certain flabbergasted system: I thought the host I was bound to was bronze-tier, but it turns out she's actually king-tier. - Luo Yanqing was naturally indifferent, with only work on his mind, but somehow, he started to find himself looking forward to holidays, although he rarely managed to go home once a whole year.
