Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Meng Zhen transmigrated and became the long-lost legitimate daughter of the Xu group, a stepping stone for the adopted daughter, Xu Xueluo.

The parents were gentle and kind to the adopted daughter, a top ten student who had grown up sheltered. On the other side, the little traffic star, Meng Zhen, wasn’t able to finish high school.

The naïve original character fell into the hands of the adopted sister and was driven out of the house by her parents. Being forced to “dedicate herself to art” with high-priced liquidated damages by her agency, she became a scheming woman who was scolded by everyone.

Unwilling to accept those outrageous conditions from the agency, the original body, who was in complete despair, swallowed sleeping pills and ended her life.

After learning of the death of the legitimate daughter, the adopted daughter pretended to be sad and cried before she managed her funeral. She then used the music scores created by the original body to win the favor of an influential man.

Now that Meng Zhen became the original body, upon glancing at the scandals about her on the Internet – Published all thanks to the machinations of the Xu Group’s adopted daughter – then burned all the music scores without hesitation.

This one begrudgingly gets 4 stars, and I have say 3 stars or less wouldn't be inappropriate. The story starts off poorly. The MC transmigrates in at what was the end of the original MC's story and it takes about 20 of the 56 chapters for what actually is happening to become clear. What's worse is in the opening chapters the reader is being told what happened instead of reading what happened. It doesn't generate empathy or ties to the MC.

On the plus or minus side the novel has a... more>> more realistic take on the conflict between the real and the fake daughter, it also has an interesting take on the family life. While there is face slapping in the novel it falls into two distinct categories. One the MC is incredibly lucky and the antagonists wind up with really bad days/mistakes. The other is the MC just gradually grinds antagonists down. I much prefer the clever mission impossible style face slappings so this was a bit of a let down.

As the story goes on the family is slowly developed into proper tr*sh and a very hateable bunch. The MC also develops a dogged persistence in pursuing her life goals.

Bottom line there's just too many flaws not the least of which is the writing style which was frankly dull. <<less

I can only say that it's "ok". It's only 54 chapters and it's a very light read with no ups or downs, not particularly good but not particularly offensive either. It's "fine".

For a moment it looked like the novel had some unique things going for it -- the MC who transmigrated didn't enter a novel or alternate world, but instead travelled through time. She came from the previous century and was a silent film era and Beijing opera actress originally, and her deceased spirit watched the original soul's life until... more>> her early death. This is a really interesting take that had a lot of room to do some original things, but it ultimately serves zero real purpose and there is functionally no difference from if she had just been a modern day actress. She doesn't struggle to adjust to a technological, internet-driven age, she instantly knows how to use a phone, she doesn't have any inconvenience at all, she's functionally just a modern day person.

There was also a fake out moment where the ML looked to be a different structure than the rest for a hot minute. MC gets her big break when a popular musician asks for her to perform for his MV micro-movie, and he's a scholarly, affable megane. I really sat up and got excited for a second. He's not the ML, haaaa. The ML is an absolute template character: cold, domineering film emperor who actually comes from The Most Powerful Family and is just doing acting as a lark. That's fine, clichés happen because people like certain tropes and so they get reused a lot. It was just annoying to me because at one point the fake-out ML is asked if he's interested in the MC and he denies it because he's ten years older than her so how could he possibly be interested in someone so young.

The MC ('s body) is 18. The movie emperor ML is 29. Like, okay. doubt. png

Speaking of the ML, the romance is very flat.
Spoiler

As I said, he's just a template, run-of-the-mill cold movie emperor, and he just becomes attracted to the MC immediately for no discernible reason and immediately uses his influence to help her out all the time. They don't even really have any moments where they seem to really bond on any level, the author just goes to great lengths to describe how they're both very attractive and they look good together and... that's it. That's the romance.

[collapse]

Some light obnoxious Chinese nationalism that, naturally, requires shitting on other countries in order to display Chinese superiority. Can't y'all just appreciate your culture without having to put down others to do it? For some it's a non-issue, that's fine. I like to be told these things, so I thought I'd mention it. It was just somewhat funny to me because it required talking about Korean traditional instruments and I thought it was at least generous the author was willing to acknowledge Korea has their own traditional culture at all, because usually they like to just claim that China invented everything. <3

Finally, re: the family.
Spoiler

Two-dimensional and again, a template, by-the-books scum family, even down to the spoiled, s*upid younger brother who mindlessly bullies the real daughter because the fake lotus daughter led him on. They're not deep, interesting, or original. To be frank, I couldn't even work up the enthusiasm to hate them as villains because they were so cardboard cut out.

[collapse]

The pros:

One thing about these transmigration stories that I dislike and find increasingly uncomfortable is the sense of theft from the MC over the original. The MC transmigrates into a woman who came from a rich family or married a rich husband or whatever, and the people around her that hated the original turn around and just end up loving the MC. Or worse, when the family did love the original and now are just putting that love onto the person possessing their corpse unknowingly? Even if you decorate it in platitudes that they're fulfilling the originals wishes or whatever, there's something so creepy about it. It just feels like the whole potential of life of the original was stolen by the MC.

This story completely avoids that. The MC doesn't "take" anything from the original.
Spoiler

The only only connective tissue from the original is a friend from the orphanage who is barely in it and only serves a single plot purpose. The original had no intersection with the ML, the MC completely cuts off her relationship with her scum family by the end, and she even switches to a different company, so in the end, the results of her career are entirely her own and separate from the original.

[collapse]

And she burns the music scores, as stated in the synopsis, by her own words that the originals heartfelt feelings aren't something to be exploited by the white lotus sister or the MC. I can see another novel going down the path of the MC publishing the scores or "fixing them up" with her OP music knowledge and performing them on a streaming service or something, and smugly patting herself on the back for "fulfilling the wishes" of the original soul. I'm really so glad that this novel chooses a different path. <<less

For such a short read, it feels a bit slice of life-ish. It’s a generic entertainment novel 🤷🏻‍♀️ I think my main concern is the huge age gap between FL and ML. I don’t really mind weird ages in historical and fantasy stories - but this is modern day. I find it iffy but that’s a personal preference.

It's a pleasant short read of someone from the past transmigrating to someone in the future and helping her get revenge while at the same time living her life.
