Ji Fanyin realized the moment she transmigrated over that she was a stand-in, a substitute for her younger twin sister, Ji Xinxin.

“Sure, I can be her stand-in. Here is my list of prices. Take a look at it first, and make sure to reserve a slot in advance. I won’t accept any last-minute calls, and do take note that it’ll only be a platonic relationship. Thank you for your cooperation,” she said.

In a western restaurant, a rich young master looked at her with eyes filled with affection as he said, “Xinxin, I would like to ask you out for a movie tomorrow night…”

An alarm suddenly went off.

Ji Fanyin took a glance at her phone before reining in her business smile, saying, “Time’s up. I need to rush for my next appointment. Make sure to foot the tab, and farewell.”

The rich young master’s smile froze up. “I’ll reserve four hours for tomorrow’s movie.”

In the middle of the night, a drunk, tyrannical young master dialed her number and whined, “Big sis, when will you come over to meet me?”

“In order to ensure the quality of service, this call will be recorded. It’s four in the morning right now, and my services will be ten times the usual price. Are you certain you want to proceed?” asked Ji Fanyin.

“… Hurry up and start acting!”

Ji Fanyin’s phone suddenly rang in the midst of a date with a domineering CEO at Tokyo’s tower. With a smile on her lips, she rejected the call and said, “Sorry, it’s another customer.”

“… I’ll pay you ten times the price. Switch off your phone.”

By the time Ji Xinxin finally returned back to the country, Ji Fanyin successfully retired from the scenes with the massive fortune she had amassed.

Heh, bad women will never get hurt!

MTLed after chapter 30. (It was surprisingly readable)

This novel passes the Bechdel-Wallace test! This is so rare in Chinese romance novels with a female protagonist! Usually, all non-elderly women are negative-IQ cannon fodder or villains who can only talk and think about the men around them. Here we have Zhang Ning, Cheng Lin and others who are just people with their own lives and interests which sometimes intersect with the main characters.

Another unique selling point: ... more>>
Spoiler

Most of the story is from the point of view of the transmigrated person but half of the last part is from the point of view of the original Ji Fanyin who is gifted her body back.

She doesn't rush back to any of the men, she goes on with her life! Og!Ji Fanyin continues her education & gets a dream job in a STEM field. She is respectful of tm!Ji Fanyin's efforts, learns from her experiences but does her best to stand on her own two feet.

The girl who died for love learns to live for herself.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, the woman who lived a carefree life caring only about herself, learns to open her heart to love.

[collapse]

I can't comment on the quality of the writing (because it's google translated) but the content is a fresh take on the transmigration routine. 5/5 stars. <<less

The novel is very interesting.

The ending is a disappointment to me tho. I was expecting more for romance, but sadly that didn't happen.

Also there are some plots holes such as shen qi and how did MC even fall for Ml??

... more>> Also ML wasn't involved in the novel as much as I would had liked him too. He felt more like a side character that the author just randomly chosen just so that MC would have someone to end up with.

I much rather she ended up with the Bai kid them ML, they had more interactions and chemistry between each other. I was hoping that he was ML but sadly he wasn't. <<less

Pros:

1. Interesting premise
I'm no stranger to the stand-in setting, however, it's my first time seeing it done by an MC who makes it blatantly obvious, even to the targets, that they're only in it for the money. There's definitely some glee to be had seeing characters flounder due to our MC's acting - especially when the MLs are aware they're the ones paying her for an illusion.

2. Not romance focused
Although there's some (questionable) late romance, it's very much not a focus of... more>> this novel. MC is very firm and decisive about what she wants and how to achieve her end goal. For better, or for worse, she doesn't waver with any of the MLs.

Cons:

1. Bad pacing
Starts strong but dwindles later. Some points are so utterly boring that it's a struggle to continue. I didn't drop it simply because it's short enough to power through.

2. Flat characters
Perhaps it's because of the length, but almost all the characters lack depth. Unfortunately, this includes the MC.

MC

Spoiler

Apart from being a mary sue cold, calm, heartless, cool, perfect, etc., we know nothing about her. I'm not joking.
The main goal of the story is for the MC to return to her original world, and she has to amass a disgusting amount of money (10 billion) to do so. But during this journey, we learn absolutely nothing about her.

We don't know why she wants to go back; there are no stakes and/or motivations that allow us to sympathise and root for her.
We know nothing about her background aside from the fact that she's an incredible actress. There's not even any mention of any friends and/or family.

Oh, but I guess we do learn that she's incredible with FPS games in her original world. Also, her hobbies are cooking and watching/reviewing movies. And because she's a mary sue, she's obviously flawless at all of this.

Seriously. The author might as well have given her a protagonist halo as a golden finger or something.

[collapse]

Frankly, the most interesting and memorable character is surprisingly Bai Zhou who is one of the original scum MLs.

Bai Zhou

Spoiler

He's the most fleshed-out and memorable character. I actually felt bad for him at the end of his arc.
While Bai Zhou starts as a rich brat with all the stereotypical arrogance, aggression, and moodiness, he becomes the most tolerable of the original MLs. Despite being detestable in the beginning, he's the only character with more than surface-level logic.

Bai Zhou is a child who comes from a turbulent and unloving family. His mother and father have little interest in him, both preferring to instead indulge in outside partners. With his mother being apathetic and even downright ruthless, his father being self-absorbed and completely absent, and both preferring to resolve their issues with money, it's understandable how Bai Zhou could grow to be so warped. At every turn, his parents hurt and traumatise him. Hell, his mother even pays MC to traumatise him some more as a form of "teaching".

Yet, as Bai Zhou spends more time with our MC, he does some introspection and learns to take accountability for his actions. In fact, he's the only ML who tried to sincerely apologise and atone for his previous behaviour. His trauma doesn't excuse or absolve him of his sins, however, he's the only character grows and whose actions have some underlying logic apart from just being an a**hole.

In the end, our MC still cuts Bai Zhou off since it's not her place to forgive him in place of the original. This is fair and understandable, but I still felt it was a shame that his story ended there. With the amount of focus he got, I almost thought he was a potential endgame ML. That would have been more interesting than the actual endgame ML at least.

[collapse]

ML

Spoiler

ML is Chen Yunsheng. He's around the same age as Bai Zhou and is the typical cold to others but warm to MC. He's weirdly devoted to MC for some unexplained reason, but she basically treats him like a cute pet. Their relationship is quite lopsided and I'm not sure why or how the MC likes him romantically. He's also extremely forgettable and is only mentioned a handful of times throughout the novel.

If the reason for him being the ML was endless devotion, then what about the literal god Shen Qi that allowed her to transmigrate in order to save her life in the first place? I don't know, Chen Yunsheng was just a weird choice for a shoehorned in ML. Frankly, there was more chemistry between MC and her female friend than with him.

However, in general, I think there should've just been zero romance. It just feels a bit awkward for a novel like this.

[collapse]

All in all, this is an ok read if you're looking for something to mindlessly kill time with. It's short and entertaining enough. <<less

The FL is heartless, she becomes a substitute for her twin sister's suitors who oh so live her sister so much. She dates all these suitors for 100, 000 per hour. Yeah, so these dates happens on and on and on. Nothing new. Just the same old plot if not for these dates. Her sister's a green tea b*tch, her parents are irresponsible, the suitors hate her at first but later fall for her troupe. It got boring as I read¯\_ (ツ) _/¯

It was interesting at first. The plot itself is unique but became cliche later, which overtime it got even tiring to read. However I still read it, and I'll shortly say, it has a lot of filler and pointless writing.

After her disband of customers:

Spoiler

With the reason of FL's job as a screenwriter and Emotional Value for the 10 billion that could be gained from dramatic occurences. Which it's absurd with how easily she got 80% of the money, for the 10 billion dollars, from the Emotional Value of all the characters, drama, tragedy, positive, negative, etc. And 20% of it was gained by the FL as the title says.

I don't recommend, even for killing time, plot holes unexplained later in the story. "Better books in the sea"

Due to karmic ties, it's partially the protagonist's fault that the original Ji Fanyin, a downtrodden cinnamon roll, suffered for twenty years. Thus, as the biggest monster of all, our heroine is brought in to defeat and subdue all the smaller monsters that were responsible.

Along the way she

The reason for the 3 star rating is because of the sloppy transitions between scenes and events in the plot. A lot of stuff is skipped over to try and create a faster paced story, which in the way it was written for this story, screwed it over. The characters and character developments are also pretty poorly done in this novel. I would've given a 2 if not for the interesting sparks of plot and knowing the direction it'll go from the synopsis. I feel like I would've liked and... more>> kept reading the story if either one of those 2 problems were fixed. Additionally for anti harem readers out there, you should already know this is going to be a reverse harem novel, so just avoid if you dont want to try due to the genre. <<less

Spoiler

Moreover, the entire novel focus on the MC and her way to achieve the goals, which is rare in case. Because in other novels you might find often that many MCs decided to stay or accept that new transmigrated world as their own, of course it also depends on their circumstances as well. But in this novel the MC's goals were clear as crystal since the beginning which is to acquire 10 billion and return to her original world despite finding someone she obviously liked. The way she play other fishes (which were harvested by her green tea bit*h twin younger sister, as it gave her psychology satisfaction to be in control and superior) and extract not only their money but emotions as well for her own means are particularly spectacular in my opinion. Also when she was being with them as stand in her inner thoughts also had me bawling. Most importantly all my favourite characteristics that should have within themselves was on spot like oozing female power, being cold hearted, ignoring nuisance as they should be, conniving, very cunning, doesn't take sh*t and prioritising her own self first.

However, the novel might clash with in terms of morals or one's opinion, nevertheless it also promises to engage the reader till the end. <<less

I’ve always loved it when they mixed romance and psychology and give me moral conundrums. The MC is consistent and definitely did not fell short of what I expected of her character.

Anyway, the romance is more like a subplot and an extra dish because this is not about that. This is about people harvesting what they sowed. Are their sins as heavy as the punishment? I don’t know, only the victim can really say but, their character and their faults were introduced to me and there’s nothing I really wanna... more>> change. All of them are a little psycho and a bit pitiful.

The ML is adorable and I wish I could have seen more of his not so adorable side. I wouldn’t have had any qualms of this being a little longer

The current rating (4.1) is too low for this novel. <<less

I like face slapping novels when they're well-done. I've read quite a few, so I'm grateful when the main character isn't someone out for revenge from the get-go. The MC is reasonable in focusing on herself, and not trying to avenge some farfetched ideal or the previous soul. So far, I like the MC and will continue reading to see how far she goes.

MTL completed.

Considering how 'fast' FL and ML feelings formed. I felt really conflicted for the god who always accompanied FL.

There's just too little information about him, and at the end he lost her to the ML who happened to be her type.

The god was simply the second ML syndrome that too pitiful.

One of the most mature hetero romance book I've ever read. This MC is not afraid to say what she feels, she absolutely let her boundaries to be verbally stated right away, she never makes any promises that she can't keep, and she never-ever leads a person on once she knows they have feelings towards her. She's brutally honest.

The things I love in this book is how each character has different personalities that are so carefully written by the author. As a reader we get to watch our MC interacts... more>> with all these different people, and she is just amazing at what she does.

To be honest, I wasn't expecting such a mature take on this book because of the tittle and the first few chapters, but the author is just really good at portraying our MC's deep character. I admire the MC a lot throughout reading this book. I'm also very thankful that the author chose to share two closures as she ends this story. I felt complete and satisfied. <<less

This story has many, many reasons to recommend it, but the reason I fell in love with it is that ALL its women (with the exception of MC's mother, I guess) are strong female characters with beautiful, beautiful female friendship, where they mutually love and respect each other. Even casual mentions of random girls isn't '... and all the girls were envious of MC's beauty/bf/money/brains...' no, they appreciate her. Even the antagonist, despite her villainous breakdown, was nowhere near as s*upid or weak as many similar characters.

At the place where I am now, c106 pt2, the book is basically finished and the last tidbits of plot can essentially be guessed. It's a good novel! Out of all the revenge novels I've read, I would consider this to be one of the most conclusive ones. Maybe more so than The Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage. A long title, but if you know that novel than you also know it is a revenge novel.

The revenge plot in 100, 000 hour is the main plot and... more>> it's very clearly what the story is pivoting around. It's well thought out and everything connects rather smoothly, making it an enjoyable process for the reader. Note that everything in the book connecting smoothly does not mean the MC has an easy going life necessarily, it's just that the writing is good.

From the beginning to the end, other people have pointed this out as well, the MC stuck to her guns and I AM SO GLAD for it. I wish all revenge MC's were like this.

Kind of a big spoiler:

Spoiler

Honestly was dreading if the MC would fall in love with one of the shitty OG MLs she was taking revenge on and I'm so glad she didn't. Thank god.

[collapse]

Although the whole book is surrounded by romance etc, ironically, the actual romance with the MC and someone else is rather small. It's very much a subplot but it's still present enough to pop up at times and be a little enjoyable. But if you want to read a novel about a classic MC ML romance story muah muah I wouldn't really recommend this. I'd recommend this if you wanted more of a powerhouse-business-revengeful MC.

MAJOR END spoiler that will probably impact your enjoyment of the story:

Spoiler

Another great thing this novel does well is the fact that the MC stays clear to her original goal and decides to return home. I was thinking as it got closer to the end that it would be A) really against her personality and what the author has built up and B) disappointing and cliche if the MC decided to stay in her transmigrated life. But I'm glad that she upheld her goals from the very beginning and returned home in the end with little hesitation. MUCH more realistic than other classic transmigration novels lol.

It's a satisfying read overall. Adore MC's character so much, her character is just really my style, and I also like how she handling JX's fishes. Yes, there's some plot that didn't really settled well in my pov, but it's still passable in the end.

Spoiler

CY is such a gem in this story, some moments that worth the highlight is the moment he said he understands white lotus and green tea tactics, when he can differentiate JF from JX right away, when he learned to cook and especially when he wait for his whole life in that world to meet MC in MC's world without have any romantic relationship with other women, thumbs up for the ML, he is worthy of MC.


I actually hope for a better detailed ending for BZ, yes he's a brat in the start, but I enjoy his character development to be honest.

The way in the end there's more in-depth stories about the female side characters and how they become a group of friend is something that I find interesting and pleasant from this story too.

Thank you for the translator for translating this that make this story an enjoyable read. :))

It's not easy to find good female MC Chinese webnovels out there but this one is definitely one of those. My usual complaints about MCs being only strong when facing others and yet somehow becomes a person with disability when the ML is on screen is fortunately not present. In fact, the whole idea of the novel is that the MC goes around with guys. It might sound like a horrible thing to do, and it is but entertaining so it doesn't matter, they deserve to be exploited for the... more>> most part anyway. Don't really have much to say, if you want an OP MC then this one is a good novel to read. Her OPness is also mitigated by the fact that the novel isn't really relying on it for content, just something for convenience. Which is really all that OPness should be, I've come to the realization that it's nothing more than a writing trick like tropes and cliches are. It's up to a good writer to use it as such, a trick, instead of its main weapon. <<less

Tbh I thought this would be one of those brainless ones (okay so it is pretty brainless and has some plot holes but like it's a web novel about how an actress got transmigrated into another woman's body like my expectations for realism is pretty low) where the MC is super op and like catches schemes before the antagonists have even finished thinking about it.

But it actually has some good little surprises and not everything is a cliche or trying to subvert cliches and the MC doesn't know everything but... more>> she is actually pretty op and man the amount of patience she has for these men is seriously impressive (I mean she is earning money for it but still).

Sometimes I do wish the author wouldn't be like ah yes the MC is full of wit and has a glib tongue I wanna see more examples than being told that but I think that's just my problem and not really the authors.

All in all pretty good and pretty funny. Hella cute ending <<less
