Description

Shen Tang, a struggling actress, finds herself transported into the pages of a book as the contracted wife of the domineering CEO, Gu Huai’an.
She doesn’t have to fulfill any wifely duties or do much of anything. All she needs to do is occasionally attend family gatherings and create the illusion of a loving couple. In return, she receives a monthly payment of 5 million yuan and stands to gain 200 million yuan when they divorce.
Shen Tang can barely contain her laughter. Could there be such a good deal?
In the book, Shen Tang falls in love with Gu Huai’an and foolishly hopes to turn their contractual marriage into a real one, but in the end, she gains nothing.
Thinking about this outcome, Shen Tang shakes her head and sighs. What a naive girl, unable to see things clearly.
Wouldn’t it be great to live a stable life and walk away with 300 million yuan after two years of marriage?
Shen Tang decides to fully embrace a carefree life.
·
Gu Huai’an gets a second chance at life.
He remembers how Shen Tang messed things up in their previous life.
However, he waits and waits, but Shen Tang remains silent.
He asks the butler, “What has my wife been up to lately?”
The butler awkwardly smiles and says, “Madam spends her days shopping and admiring handsome men.”
Gu Huai’an: …
By a stroke of luck, Gu Huai’an discovers he can hear Shen Tang’s thoughts.
But wait, wasn’t she supposed to be head over heels in love with him? Why has she become…
Initially, Gu Huai’an only wanted to endure the two-year contract period and divorce this woman.
However, later on, he kneels down and humbly pleads, “Tang Tang, can we not get divorced?”

The story is so typical and full of clichés that it seems written with a cookie-cutter in which only the names of the characters change from time to time, but it's a cliché that works, so everything is fine: classic marriage contract with classic handsome and VEEEEERY rich CEO, workaholic and nice as a frozen pole between the b§tt, typical actress who is very beautiful, very good, very strong and very adorable with everyone but we don't know why everyone hates her - for the sake of truth at least here we know why everyone hates her, it's the fault of her slimy manager... although I don't understand why an actress's manager would actively work to undermine his own protégé and thus cut off his own possible earnings - and netizens spew hate so randomly (really, Shen Tang could be photographed eating egg soup and after ten minutes this photo would be at the top of all searches on the internet with tens of thousands of comments following from people cursing her because she dare to undermine the integrity of the egg soup.
Not even Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos have all this media exposure and such a following, I think. ... I wish I had a life full of free time like that of netizens in Chinese novels), but then she slowly begins to find friends and support and in the end everyone loves her, even - above all - the ML who should hate her but understands that she is a person different and therefore...
It must be said that unlike other stories here not only the protagonist is a transmigrant, but also the ML and - at least until now - another character are reincarnated which makes the plot slightly different, even if these reincarnations are treated very blandly and superficially. As said, everything is very cliché and very predictable, but I knew this from the first moment I opened the novel, I read the incipit and among the various TAGS I saw "showbiz", so I'm not complaining, I dug my own grave. Instead, I complain about the inaccuracies, the names and pronouns that suddenly change (in some chapters Shen Tang suddenly becomes a HE), and above all... the fact that many things are only described, not shown (as also another reader here pointed out) : ST is an actress, right?
Well, we NEVER see her act. We are only told that she is acting, and that she is very good at it. Stop.
Furthermore, as mentioned she is very strong, so much so that she is able to single-handedly take down three men much bigger than her.
BUT we only see her eating and lounging, she has never trained even a moment in all 40 and pass chapters that I have read so far. The only explanation we are given is that "she was strong before transmigrating here and now she is equally strong"... but normally what transmigrates are the souls, not the muscles. They remain the basic, listless, untrained model of the body's previous owner, and don't magically become steroidal out of nowhere.
You have to sweat and work hard to have a trained and strong body, otherwise every idiot would be a national martial arts champion... But ok, they are plot holes that we are used to when reading this type of story and they don't make the product unreadable, just less interesting and immersive.
Bearable.
However, there are also other minor things that made me turn up my nose, for example...
During a meeting, a colleague from her ST passes her a notebook to get an autograph, her FL notices that it is still completely blank, and giving it back to girl explains that this could trigger misinterpretations. The girl understands and apologizes.
However I don't understans at all.
And I don't understand not because I'm particularly s*upid - or maybe yes, I don't know. This is not the time to think about it - but because nothing is explained to me as a reader.
In the text it is only read "Shen Tang explains the matter to Xu JiaoJiao" and it ends there, without a single line that makes the reader understand WHY this action, asking for an autograph on a new notebook, could be frowned upon. Is this by any chance part of a shared knowledge among autograph hunters in showbiz that I'm totally unaware of? Maybe, after all I've never collected autographs, just MAYBE an explanation wouldn't have been bad at all.
And then it would have all been extra text, considering that the authors are paid by the line, it would also be better for them to add explanations to invoice more... but instead nothing. Sometimes they repeat concepts for three paragraphs in a row—basic concepts like "The protagonist's bracelet was a gift from her grandmother, but she has now lost it.
Yes, that very bracelet, the last gift from her beloved grandmother, had suddenly disappeared, how was it possible?
The protagonist spent three quarters of an hour staring at her arm, which was missing the thin silver thread decorated with pink and yellow beads that her beloved second-degree ancestor, her father's mother, had given her on her deathbed with her own trembling hands. Oh, the bad luck!" But then when she's totally within her rights to throw in filler text to increase the lines... she doesn't. Another scene that is incomprehensible to me, when during the filming of a film on the set the protagonist's cosmetics are corrupted by some substances, which after chemical testing are discovered to be glue and jy (spoiler: we will never know what happened or who did it. This subplot, like dozens of others, will forever be lost like tears in the rain).
The protagonist would like to vomit upon hearing of the jy's presence.
My thought was "oh, yeah. I'd probably throw up too if I knew I was smearing this jy on my face... IF I ONLY KNEW WHAT THE HELL JY was."
Ok, my fault again, I'm obviously ignorant on the subject. I search on Google, and I discover that it is a unit of measurement used in physics, but also a clothing brand, an acronym for professional camera models and even an Instagram profile, probably of a Japanese singer.
All stuff that I actually wouldn't want to find in a foundation too, but I still have the doubt. Is this modern slang that I don't understand because I'm a boomer? or maybe something belonging to Chinese culture that the rest of the world is completely unaware of? It's not a big problem, but... an explanation would have been appreciated, also returning to the concept of "let's increase the stock exponentially to make money" expressed before. All these "con" points put together, outweigh the pros, making the reading pleasant, but easily forgettable and confusing with hundreds of other stories with the same incipit and the same development, unfortunately, causing it to get lost in the limbo of mediocrity. Last minute addition: embrace yourself, chapters 71-72 will hit levels of cringe that will make your bones melt from your arms
