Su Chengyang who has transmigrated into a novel and is now living the life of a small actor who has fallen out of favor. After being hidden for several months, she was thrown into a reality TV show about daily life. During the first day of shooting, Su Chengyang ate vegetables while looking at the beef in other people’s plates with tears in her eyes.

The inner thoughts of the guests:

‘Using this kind of method to gain attention is really disgusting.’

‘Forget it, pretend to cooperate and create a persona at the same time.’

A senior gave mixed praise and criticism: “Chengyang, you are a good actress. We all know your situation, and if you need any help, I will definitely do my best to assist you.”

Su Chengyang looked at her tearfully and asked, “Sister, can I have a bite of the meat in your plate?”

The senior subconsciously nodded and said, “Of course…hmm?”

Everyone: “?”

Su Chengyang choked up and said, “I haven’t had a bite of meat for half a month… my agent didn’t allow me to…”

Everyone: “…”

The first day the show aired, #GiveSuChengyangMeat went viral on Weibo. At the end of the first season, the entire production team of the show became popular. Soon after, Su Chengyang auditioned for a role and accidentally surpassed the Golden Horse Best Actress, which sparked a wave of criticism on her Weibo and fan page accusing her of using improper means to get the role.

While the internet was overwhelmingly supporting the Golden Horse Best Actress, she calmly posted a video with the caption: “I’m in a good mood being on set.” In the video, Su Chengyang is holding onto a man’s long leg and crying with a red face: “I won’t act! I won’t go to Mongolia! What does the director see in me? I’m so wronged!” The man lowered his head and rubbed her head: “There’s roast lamb in Mongolia. You can eat as much as you want, and I’ll pay for it.” “Really?!” The man chuckled, “Yes.”

The netizens who cl**ked on it while complaining, “Su Chengyang’s skills don’t match his position…” One minute later: “… What? What do you have to complain about a script that even A-list actors are eager to participate in?” “She is so good at crying, and I love her so much.” “Wife, wife!”

On the same day, the Weibo hot searches were: #IDon’tWantToAct,IAmSoWronged, #RoastLambBringsSuChengyangHome, #NotOnSetButInAGoodMood.

I rarely found the transmigration story as pointless as this one. I mean, this story obviously could still go on even without any transmigration but somehow the author still forced the theme into this novel.

There's a system but it only appeared in the beginning of the story. It felt like its only role was only to transmigrate MC to another world. But after that, it never appear again. It also didn't give any clear goal for MC to fulfill and there's also no mission for MC to finish. It just let MC do whatever she wanted.

If it's like that, why bother making it transmigration story at the first place? Just make MC the real MC in that world and the story could still be the same.

[collapse]

The plot itself wasn't considered bad but it's also nothing remarkable or memorable. Personally, I think this story was a bit boring, especially in the romance department. The interaction between MC and ML felt so bland and lacked of chemistry. Well, maybe this story just wasn't for me. <<less

This is actually... interesting??? Well, for my personal opinion.

The MC appears pitiful right at the beginning because she was 'kidnapped' without permission. ... more>>
Spoiler

making the system question its morality LMAO

[collapse]

Anyways as I kept reading, I cracked up at a certain part, mind you this is still the beginning chapter.
Spoiler

MC was tempted with the hush money for a second until she stopped herself last minute only to 'unlock' the original body's assets WHICH I STARTED LAUGHING because the MC kept thinking how the original body was "pitiful" in the end—she's the more pitiful one. HAHAHAHA

Not sure why the rating is so low. It's a splendid Sweet story. The transmigration plot was unnecessary though. However the wording and the story progression was excellent. Above all, the translation was 1st class.

Wish the story was 2 or 3 times the volume. I could keep reading it for weeks.

FL character setting lacked some life and emotional background. But this can be left to readers' imagination.

Loved this story.. Waiting for more similar translations.

Thank you 🙏

Utterly boring story for me that I didn’t quite enjoy. Translation was really good though.

FL is just a soft, low self-esteem girl. She seems to get through her troubles by looking pitiful and others helping her through them. She is said to be a good actress but 90% of the story is focused on her and the variety show with her friends.

I had to skim through the text because it was so boring.

This novel was written specifically for people who like silly bean MCs and repetitive gags. Many plot holes. ML keeps his yandere tendencies in check, but it's a bit disturbing that both find it romantic for ML to objectify MC by

4.2. I'm not sure why the reviews are so low. This novel may not be mindblowingly good, but it was still enjoyable. I've seen worse novels rated higher. Translation is overall good, with the occasional pronoun issues.

I really enjoyed the travel variety show, and how the female lead doesn't compromise on her morals. She refused to be dragged into tian rong's schemes and didn't bother giving her face. I loved the interaction between all the low eq guests on the show too lol. Also it was a pleasant surprise as a swiftie to see love story being mentioned in 2 parts of the plot, chap 46 part 1 and chap 55 part 3

The only issue I have with the plot is the fl's age being 18 and the ML being 24.

The friends she makes make the story enjoyable but I was pretty bored when she took on new jobs.

The translation made it a little difficult to read, they would use the wrong pronouns sometimes and it made it jarring to read. Ok story to read. <<less

The translation was well done and I'm extremely happy they weren't shy about flirting with each other. I do think that the whole transmigration thrown in there is useless.

An easy, fast read.

Tbh, I don't think it's that bad. Although I admit that I thought the FL's character isn't that much and she's like a damsel in distress, that's just my first impression. As the story progresses, the character design of the FL is slowly being steady. However, I'm also quite baffled by the contradictions of her character design. To say that she's emotionally weak is right because she's not that courageous, she can be emotionally disturbed when she's being schemed and she can also be easily frightened, however, it's also wrong... more>> to say that as she can also be seen as mature, unbothered, and carefree because when she's being bashed online, she doesn't care about it and she can also easily bounce back. Anyway, I think although she's far from my ideal FL, I think she's not bad, in fact, she's quite likeable.

As for the ML, I thought he's just a smiling tiger, but later on, during his POV, his thoughts can be said to be bordering obsession or being a male yandere. He know that his thoughts were inappropriate though. He's possessive, paranoid, and overprotective, however, he still respects the FL despite his thoughts and that's good.

I also like the friendship between the FL and the low EQ gang lol. Xiao Lu is good too but I must say, I'm kinda disappointed that Xingxiu (he's a semi-passer-by but I don't know why I like him).

As for the plot, there's not much actually. It just revolved around the FL's career and hardships. There's actually no grand scheme or big villain, even the so-called love rival of the FL isn't actually a villainess.

As for the translation, it's quite good if we're going to ignore the wrong pronouns such as he/she, him/her, etc. But aside from that, I'm satisfied with it since even some Chinese idioms were explained.

Overall, it's pretty much entertaining, especially the variety show arc. It's pretty short and lacking some details but it's quite satisfying and entertaining nevertheless. 8.5/10. <<less

The rest of the simple (at least not anything unscientific)

The FL is dipicted as a salted-fish but when she gets work she completes it will all due diligence which I personally liked very much.

The thing that attracted me the most is how humorous this story was. The FL is very funny (but not without EQ, she knows what needs to be said and done). She has great acting skills.

Although most of the plot was her being in a variety show but it was very fun. The other guests in the program was more hilarious than the other.

Romance was slow paced.
Spoiler

for no other reason but because of ml's identify.

First - he is a rich second generation heir.

Second- he had a reputation for not being close to artists under him. As he left the previous company and his artists who only showed his liking for him. For this reason the FL was always afraid to express her liking for him (which I find completely reasonable) as the ML didn't show any special behaviour either.

The ml's family of course objected to his relationship with the FL (not because of family background but because of profession) but this plot wasn't long and they quickly liked the FL (they only had prejudice against actors and the entertainment circle)

If you like a funny and humorous story without much hurt and misunderstanding between protagonists then this novel is definitely recommend! <<less

It's not a bad read. Very fluffy, lighthearted, romance novel. Author has a slightly more mature outlook (I liked the tension between the ML and the youth from the village).

Not amazing, doesn't do much differently, but it had a nice cast of supporting characters.

There were some super s*upid villains (so s*upid they cracked me up), but it was a bit more refreshing that one of the big villains was a guy. You don't see that very often.

Translation is okay, it's edited MTL. There were some chapters where the quality markedly... more>> decreased (switched pronouns, MC constantly referred to as "he" instead of "she" etc.) <<less
