Very good entertaining novel. The first movie the MC worked on after his transmigration is very moving and can be a stand alone novel in its own.

A very beautiful and heartwarming entertainment circle story, with transmigration and system added in for spice. I really like the way their relationship develops, the character dynamics, and the deep respect between the two. I also really love basically all of the characters and the works MC acts in; the stories, emotions, and plots are all so rich and deep and sincerely touched me. I particularly enjoyed the MC's dedication to his work and the descriptions of the acting, as well as how MC works hard to cherish his friends... more>> and family. Also Xiao Ai and the rewards were so hilarious. I also really liked how later on the characters come to a realization that gong/shou/etc aren't positions set in stone and how people can be vers or however they like. Especially the picture of ML as a shou... (*w*) as far as I can tell, it didn't happen, but a person can dream. I hope MC and ML have fun switching it up in the bedroom some time; I think both would enjoy it. Also how sweet the MIL is, and her emphasis on who is marrying into whose family doesn't matter; they both love each other and that's what is important. Overall, really loved this and the side stories / side CPs~ Lots of sugar <3 <<less

Honestly I'd have given it one star less but this novel has given me so much enjoyment and laughter that I felt that it deserves a rate-up. Man is the author good at comedy and actually making the reader (me) so engaged in the little movie plots that get added in! I usually scroll past these as they dont hold my interest but I even ended up bawling my eyes out reading the plot of MC's first drama series.

I'm a bit disappointed that I can't read further, it's definitely one... more>> of those novels that are so much better when romance is only a subplot.. ML is cute, I'm not gonna deny that, but it got boring when MC decides to indulge him. MC's character got a bit too tsundere as well which isn't to my taste.. I preferred him as he was in the beginning, confident, career-focused and a bit cheeky. I am not a big fan of the whole push and pull tactic.. And the lack of smut is really not making me motivated enough to stay :' (

All other characters are written so well though, I love Bai Qingquan he is the light and reason for my existence. I cannot believe the author has the power to make me fall in love with the white moonlight. I am a bit uncomfortable with the whole focus on whether one looks like a top or a bottom though, but I guess that is to help paint the picture of MC's dilemma.

I appreciate that this is one of the rare transmigration novels that does not limit the MC to act out a role or say specific lines like with your usual cliche novels, but it is a bit random when he gets forced to fall in love under a time limit. His rewards from the system, while being great topics for more comedic tones, do eventually feel more and more vain. Sometimes you wonder whether it was the rewards that made the ML fall for the MC..

Huge thanks to the translator though, I love reading the additional comments at the end and the notes that help explain some of the terminologies a non-chinese reader would not be able to get. <<less

5 yrs is too much of an age gap for me but I had to continue reading to see if how the ml’s feelings are reacted to by others improves.

it does not.

the author is either someone who can’t take rejection and gets mad at whoever rejects them or they’re just a very immature person. why is it that once the ML starts liking the MC, we keep seeing things like “serves you right” or the ML even thinking he wronged the MC or the ML regretting how he treated the... more>> MC before when the ml’s reactions back then were normal and the expected reaction of someone who doesn’t like someone romantically? let’s not f*cking forget the old MC kept harassing the ML and got naked on his bed and bit him, which is practically assault. he had a terrible attitude in general and also kept bullying an artist who just happened to be under the ml’s company and wouldn’t listen when he said he didn’t like him and had no relationship with him. I don’t get it. this isn’t a wife chasing crematorium lmao; the ML did nothing wrong and didn’t wrong anyone. he said something out of impulse but was what he said wrong? the MC at that time was so insecure, acted like he and the ML had a thing so the ML was obliged to clarify his relationship with another man, unruly, disrespectful, and completely selfish. he deserved the treatment that he got, he’s not some pitiful white lotus. not to mention, the ML tried being as much of a gentleman as he can, not even being harsh to the old MC in public until he reached his bottomline and had to say something. what’s the purpose? to add drama? for comedic effect (whenever his mom thinks of this) ? to vent because the author is a fujoshi who wants a pairing to end up together no matter whether the other party is a harasser or unreasonable person who doesn’t even respect the feelings of the person he supposedly likes or not? it was a mistake for them to add that kind of sentiment or those kinds of comments from characters because it’s a strange reaction to have. no one needs to vent for the old MC. he was a horrible person.

now for the others complaining about the author’s bu*t kink. you’re so f*cking right, say it LOUDER. however, don’t reduce the story to just that because before the ML started liking the MC, the first 70 chapters are of the new and actual MC establishing himself in that world and getting rewards from the system which is, guess what, getting a more beautiful appearance and getting sexier features. like the title says, he gets prettier but with every reward from the system. the author is a little too obsessed with the mc’s ass, but don’t make it sound like that’s all the story is ever about. it’s not like every person starts acting unreasonable because of his ass anyway, they just admire it. though I admit the way they admire it is also very cringy like what’s with his friend wanting to stare at it and even asking him to stand still so she can see? does this author have no sense of boundaries or something? you don’t ask that of your friends or anyone, really, unless they’re your partner and don’t mind it. geez.

anyway, completely personal rant, over. for the real rating and review:

  • plot & pacing: 2/5. horrible, not even just below average. before the ML starts liking the MC a.k.a. where i’d say the romance starts to bloom but doesn’t actually start yet, the plot is well... it was okay to read at first because the MC is new and he’s in a different world yadda yadda yadda. I enjoyed reading through the first 30 or 40-something chapters. the drama the MC was shooting at that time was good, but I had to eventually skip parts that were all about the drama because a chunk of the first 70+ chapters were practically scenes in the drama and they were too long for a story which has a focus that, well, isn’t that drama. in summary, these 70-something chapters are some passages about the MC and his feelings, interactions with others, his thoughts, etc. and the rest are netizen comments, fans talking with each other, and whatever is happening in the drama as the cast act it out, which, if you ask me, is very skippable. you won’t miss out on much if you skipped except for the chapters where we get crumbs of the ML starting to develop feelings. there’s not much plot development because the MC has always been a good actor and even won an award before he died. it’s primarily him acting, raising his favorability with bai what’s-his-face, and getting rewards that improve his face and body. (but also, seriously, he picked always having black hair over having good and bouncy skin even when he’s a senior citizen???? you can always dye your hair but you can never get your skin back, mc!!!) MC also establishes good relationships with other characters so good for him. I actually liked this part that had no interference from the love interest. it gave the MC a life before him, which is good, and important to building a healthy relationship. it’s also good for his career.
  • romance: idk how to rate this. more than slow burn, the pacing of their relationship was actually normal and better than the pacing of the larger plot. I think it was appropriate and not even slow burn, because considering their circumstances, they really needed time to change their dynamics. but, I guess the slow burn everyone’s talking about is because the ML starts one-sidedly pining for the MC at the start of the buds of the story’s romance.
  • characters: the MC is quite upright and a passionate actor. I like that he gets a chance to have a good and improved appearance while also being on his way to becoming a possibly even more successful actor than he was in his previous life. he really seems to deserve this chance. he tries to behave a bit better and treat those the old MC disrespected or wronged more decently. I also like his move of making a clean break with the ml, setting boundaries, and being respectful but not at all distant with him in the beginning and next few chapters. he was able to clearly show the ML that he (the body of the MC at least) no longer liked him romantically but didn’t treat him as a stranger. despite the author’s weird convictions in some instances, they were actually able to write a character who is likable and admirable. on the other hand, I have no idea what’s with the obsession with abstinence or asceticism because that’s what’s used to describe the ML in his first few appearances over and over, he’s almost reduced to just that until he gets more screentime lolol. after that though, he’s actually just a very restrained person but he isn’t cold or overbearing. I like that he isn’t the typical domineering ceo or president type but somewhat in line with that in a refreshing way. he has the best parts of that archetype without its annoying sides. he’s powerful, rich, gentlemanly, firm, and decisive but respects how much the MC wants success for his career and wants to see him shine, doesn’t force him whenever it involves matters related to him (companywise and relationshipwise), separates work from private life like a responsible ceo, and even keeps his feelings a secret in fear of losing his chances, secretly pining for the MC but never taking advantage of him to comfort or relieve himself. all the more reason for me to feel wronged when he gets stuff like “you deserve it” when he starts liking the current MC after the old MC treated him so horribly and exactly the reason for my big rant at the beginning of this review haha. he’s such a good man, why act like he was such a jerk, author?
i’ll take a pause at chapter 83 because it’s agonizing to just see a repetitive and completely predictable pattern of mc’s pov, what the MC is acting in, mentions of the white moonlight bai, ML pining and not doing anything, and netizen and fan comments. you get tired of reading it after 80+ chapters, trust me. i’ll update my review once I reach... 100-something chapters. this is just excruciatingly long and dragged out tbh like what happens after the 90 chapters after 100?? this isn’t even a quick transmigration novel. <<less

A transmigration story with a cute system, slowburn romance, and basically MC struggle to become a winner in life.

At first this story keeps me going by making me confused about the ML. One second I'm sure then another second I'm not so sure anymore. And finally the ML turns out to be my first guess lol.

This is a sweet story but I'm not really a fan of slowburn romance. When I reach ch 105 I felt bored so I'm gonna stop at ch 108.

But don't let my review keeps you... more>> from reading it because it really is a good story. And I agree with darkangel268 that this story is so underrated! <<less
