It's in the modern romance category on source sites, but there really is no romance whatsoever so if that's what you're looking for you will be disappointed. The only real male lead is her son who remains just a son to the end. He's very possessive of his mom, but she is just his mom despite there being no blood relationship.

If you like reading about childcare and a decisive FL, this is for you. There's quite a bit of face slapping, and the people she surrounds herself with are capable. If reading about the quarrels between kids makes you want to skip paragraphs etc, set this down because these kids are reaalllyyy good at being obnoxious kids when they want to brush up their presence in the novel.

4 stars because while I liked it, I'm dissatisfied in how often I was teased with the possibility of there being a man she can throw down and ravish in true hedonistic be-my-own-woman fashion only for this situation to never occur. Otherwise I really enjoyed this and sped through it in one night. I just *really* needed to know how she would resolve the heroine's mother/family, which to be honest was worth the wait.

And the MC picks up some jade that makes her strong and Even more beautiful oh! Surprise it has a space? Oh the other jade can make others have bad luck? At that point I’m just kinda over this...

So believe me when I say, as someone who regularly ignores these warnings because I take it for granted that these are elements in webnovels that we should all expect, that this novel is really disappointing. I won't go over what other people have said, but just believe me when I say: believe them. Don't take it for granted that these are just unavoidable traits of webnovels. This one's a real bummer especially.

Here are my points:

First, I like showbiz novels and face slapping novels. They're just brainless entertainment that can be fun. But the showbiz moments in this novel are the worst parts of it - it's either completely brushed over, making it feel like the author isn't very interested in the showbiz parts and just wanted an excuse to write all the repetitive social media tr*shing parts, or else if it is portrayed, it's done incredibly naively and poorly, without even a cursory understanding of how to portray it.

Some people have said there is at least decent face slapping in this novel. I beg to differ: the face slapping in this sucks. The MC is just soooo cool and level headed and indifferent she isn't bothered by it while everyone around her runs around like headless chickens, to highlight how indifferent she is, meaning there's no feeling of tension for the reader. Why should we care if she's being tr*shed if the MC doesn't care? The MC rarely bothers to clarify herself, as others said, she just gets lucky or other people clean it up and she just gets to reap the rewards. So she doesn't care that she gets blackened online, and then doesn't actually counteract, we just get "comedy smash cuts" to scenes of her eating or whatever while the plot happens around her, and she often only finds out that these things even happened at all after the fact.

But the straw that ultimately broke the camel's back for me was when the MC went overseas to the US. I felt uneasy, but hoped it would be handled sensibly? Well.

If you, like me, get turned off by intense Chinese nationalism and energetic dicksucking over how beautiful mysterious oriental unfathomable charming enchanting fairy-like incredible astounding unique all westerners find the Chinese MC, as though Chinese people are rare creatures that have never been released to the wilds of the US before in all of human history then you to may just end up rolling your eyes and dropping the novel!

The translation team did a good job though, very solid translation.

Ignorant, because she doesn't try to be a good parent, it comes more or less with a saviour complex the way she treats him. Sure, she has empathetic emotions, but it doesn't really make up for the neglect. She clothes and feeds the kid (not well either as I had mentioned before) and tosses him a tablet so she doesn't have to entertain him, great job for doing the bare minimum.

Crude and rude when she speaks to her work colleagues, has an real unprofessional attitude like 'Do I have to be here?' and 'This conversation is boring, bye.' Well in an instance she just plainly said that she was bored at a contract signing and took off. Snappy and arrogantly would demand money for a photoshoot FOR the specific show she's being paid for, I mean, this lady is all kinds of outrageously extra. Going to shop for brand label clothing before getting paid but bit*h about the taxi fares *eyeroll* bye, Felicia.

Taking her kid to work, making the crew look for someone to babysit the kid, wants to be financially reimbursed for everything and paid for ANYTHING.

She has tendencies to act like a typical villain celebrity, by making everybody's work harder and more tedious, distaining others, nit-picking, belittling, you name it. She'll unapologetically expand her demands at her whim and take people's leniency with her for granted. She knew of internet, she knows how the world ticks, it's either she's too dense or she's just downright b*tchy. Acting above everybody else, arrogantly and haughty does prove the obvious, it's just beyond me how no one (of the high rating folks) can see it- I'm TRYING to enjoy the story, trust me! Am looking for her good points! And that's her silence, but she doesn't shut up, ever, she can't refrain herself from making unnecessary comments.

That really shows that the author is a mother author, the kid (MC) has been spoilt rotten.

This is an universe custom tailored to her.

This is the first time I read a novel with a young adult protagonist that doesn't have romance~! Many men appeared and I was like "Is this the ML?" but they were all false alarms! Not even the father of her child!

1. In the beginning when the emperor of the cimena appeared, he spoke as if he knew her, but then he never came again.....

2. His scriptwriter friend didn't show up afterwards, I thought he was going to show up even to be her children's uncle, but there was only one call and then he disappeared from the map....

3. She said that the realty show of her life would be broadcast in China after the friend of the screenwriter returned there, as this was a big thing I thought it would be mentioned even if it was by Internet users, but no, it was not, they forgot about it...

4. Who is Xiao Xing's father? The real daughter appeared but they did not go after who the boy's parents were....

5. And it also left me with a doubt, did Gu Shumo recover his memory or not? Because there was no time to quote that afterwards..
