Description

Gu Shishi, a master of traditional Chinese painting, transmigrated into the role of a cannon fodder in a cliché novel.

The cannon fodder female supporting character was switched at birth. She had barely spent a few days with her biological parents before she was tossed into the wolf’s den by those same parents. Her parents, having no heart to send their fake daughter with a heart disease to live a hard life, forced the real daughter into becoming the replacement. Gu Shishi was sent away to marry the big villain – the rumored evil, cruel, and wife-cursing first young master of the Huo’s.

On the very first day that she had transmigrated, she had to face her fated tragic death….

Luckily, she had also inadvertently discovered the path to altering her fate!

— The more gifts she received from the big villain, the longer she could live and the more cheats she would gain!

Rated it high cause I had fun with it, the FL genuinely funny, loved her and her art, the system was fun too.

But it is plagued by a lot of typical cnovel problems like flexing wealth till the point of being disgusted and some very conservative views and statements so if you are willing to eye roll past them as the usual then you can have fun with this one.

Surprisingly it’s good. I didn’t expect it to be this good when I started reading it. It’s good to waste time. The best thing in this novel is the Ml. The characters in the novel have good character development.

The FL has so many cheats. That makes me a little uncomfortable. Also, there’s a lot of unnecessary details.

If you don't really care about plot and just want fluff and a Mary Sue, then this one's good! I'd give it a 4.8/5 for fluff

1000% a Mary Sue

3.4/5 for the the generic plot. It's better than a lot of cliche novels, but it's not necessarily good novel. Just okay. Good start tho.

It's just like every single Chinese novels with a girl with an OP system and a cold, overbearing CEO. They also act like teens at times, not like an adult at all. (Or do teens just act like... more>> adults? Idk) But then again, that's what most ppl call 'fluff'. So up to you if it's a +1 or -1. <<less

So, where should I start first... Ok let's start with how I dropped this novel after I started MTLing it. I thought this novel would be pretty much okay for passing time. But I won't even recommend any1 for that! Because it's totally immoral. Idk how author justify that beauty is everything, with beautification weapons you can conquer everyone and everything you ever want to. I'm totally speechless, all characters are not right in the Head, remember I'm emphasising on the word HEAD from their actions to interactions all are... more>> ridiculous, specifically MC and ML. Nothing remarkable, even though I was reading this novel for just mere fun but it's not even able to pass that.

Overall this novel sending negative message imo. I get it all MC's actions were taken because her will to survive like any other normal being, which is normal but the author could have portrayed something else. Moreover, her drawing skills also recognised due to having cheats! Even thought the author has induced lines for MC having foundation in ink sketching beforehand. However it doesn't justify it that you need many life experiences plus practices over years to achieve that.
And, oh if anyone felt that I'm being petty towards MC having beautification cheats. Let me tell u all I'm hella motherfxcking sexy myself. And yes, it also mean I'm more shameless than the MC herself, as she was portrayed throughout the novel without having any specific personality. <<less

Probably one of my favourites. The System in this is one of the best and satisfies that vain desire we all have (lol). But apart from vanity, it's very comedic.

I really enjoyed the story for a while, but the most recent chapters (270 onwards) have completely turned me off. The main leads' relationship, which was progressing steadily up to this point, feels like it's been injected with steroids and the developments feel fake. Worst of all are the plot devices that the author had to use to make these sudden changed, because it's not natural at all. It honestly feels like the author got bored of the story and just wanted to hurry it up and finish it.

Spoiler

The ML had some minor misunderstandings about the FL's thoughts earlier in the story but it was ramped up to 100 and he now thinks she's suicidal and going to kill herself. And of course the only way to prevent this is to give her a romance worth living for (like what?)

The system, which up until this point had been more passive/setting tasks that she could achieve without looking like she was crazy, suddenly decides that setting a task of asking for three kisses on the lips, chest and cheek, and then three hugs (normal, princess-style and lying down being hugged from behind) all in SEVEN DAYS would be completely normal relationship progress between these two characters who haven't even held each other's hands.

[collapse]

At this point the FL doesn't even really have any feelings towards the ML beyond being his friend, feeling sorry for him and wanting his money to survive, which just makes it worse.

And while I'm at it, I might as well just add that I really dislike the trope where one party severely misunderstands the other causing them to feel pity and/or treat them in a different way. Like, it's funny to read, but it's hard to get behind the ML falling in love with the version of the FL in his head who is weak and needs help rather than the real FL who is capable and proactive. <<less

Wah this is nuutsss!

Love love love them!

ML's view of himself is just right, not exaggerated.

FL's character development is palpable but not forced.

Their love story unravels at a steady pace, it's the perfect pace IMO!

I have never have the patience to read contemporary transmigator/reincarnator story, but this one is GOLDEN.

I gave it 4 stars because it’s a light enjoyable read and I was pretty entertained by it. Very standard transmigration trope where og heroine is brain dead and misguided. FL manages to one up her at everything without really trying (she spends most of her time trying to earn ML affection, painting and gaining the recognition of others) I liked the romance and there were times I laughed pretty hard. I do think the body modifications from the system were a little extreme and by the end of it... more>> FL made me think of her as a dolphin with the lack of body hair and stretch marks etc. I think the plot depended too much on her earning ML affection in the sense that he was the only one who really changed by the end of the novel. In fact I think pretty much every character that went through positive growth in some way grew more than the FL which could be annoying for some but fortunately she wasn’t an annoying character to me and didn’t necessarily need to go through growth if that makes sense. I did like that the ML came to let go of his tragic past and embrace his future because how often do ML in Chinese novels change? FL has major heroine halo, and the book is shallow so it’s good for mindless entertainment but probably rage inducing if you think about too hard. Translation is very good and frequent but the translator does split chapters into 4-6 parts each so be warned. Mtl is easy and I don’t think I liked it enough to go and re read the translated chapters even though I’m sure I missed some stuff. Tldr- light read, FL is overpowered, og heroine is evil, shallow story but entertaining <<less

This is a novel that focuses on a girl named Gu shishi who owns a system that gives her life points whenever she completes a quest relating to Boss Huo. I recommend this for anymore who wants to escape their troubled life and enjoy some of the couple’s sweet moments. This is a really good novel for veterans and some beginners might also enjoy the interactions between Gu Shishi and Boss Huo. Huo Chu Chu is one of my favorite characters because she acts like a girl who is seeking... more>> love from her close brother and hates her family because of Boss Huo. (Huo Chu Chu is Boss Huo’s little sister) <<less

I actually really enjoyed this story and ended up MTLing the rest of the chapters.

A lot of the ideas are well executed:

... more>>
Spoiler

relationship between MC ML and their respective biological family, system tasks completion, her career in arts and her company.

Each topic has enough details and completion, which is very satisfying.

[collapse]

The 2nd FL and 2nd ML ended up being a bit brain dead, but I think it didn't really impact the story in negative way.

I really like MC character; she is not dense, brave enough, and also willing to work hard. She is also quite smart in using her reward from the system, which I really appreciate as it has been a pet peeve of mine when MC of different stories did not utilize their system to its full strength.

Spoiler

btw does anyone think their baby is actually the system?

Wish there would be more side stories!!!

[collapse]

Overall an enjoyable read! Totally recommended!

Rated: 5.0

It took me a while to warm up to the story— due to bland start + split chapter translations (high quality work! Just a bit tiresome to read when chapters are split).

However, it grew on me once the ball started rolling for reals and ML started responding to MC's efforts~ The story and relationship became fluffier and funnier, made me chuckle irl a lot lol it's your typical OP CEO ML x commoner-but-actually-lost-wealthy-daughter MC plot but with a quirky stay beautiful forever wealthy wife-OP painting system!

To note, MC and ML... more>> don't really progress/grow much besides being more affectionate with one another so that made things kind of bland

MC, a transmigrator, is your usual OP FL due to having a golden finger (drum rolls) her system! While it pitted her a lot in the beginning, she benefits from it more than not lol MC is mature and collected, but sometimes ditzy around ML which is cute I guess. Just typical MC yes

ML is seemingly cold to the bone due to trauma from circumstances beyond his control—personally, I would like for the brainless side characters to perish but Mr Huo is a good man who can't be bothered to waste energy and resources—but he's a real sweetheart and sticky like a warm, muscly padded jacket just for MC once she breaks gently pries open that shell (ृ ˘ ꒳ ˘ ृ 　)

I liked reading the eventual progression of their relationship and having insight on the ML's brain hole gymnastics which surprisingly build up their relationship and occasionally destroys this sand sculpture couple lmfao
Spoiler

at one point he thought MC was highkey depressed with thoughts of death but MC was actually worrying about him and the plot where he'll die in 2 years

[collapse]
At some point you'll become desensitised to the insane expenditure ML casually makes at a flick of his wrist.

Overall, have patience because it's an amusing story! The writing and translation is topnotch, though split chapters aren't my cup of tea~ Thank you for your hardwork! <<less

Story is okay I guess but I really hate the ML bland personality and very little character growth

If you want something that's just full on fluff but without all the heavy drama and the likes then this is the story for you

The translation for this story is excellent and it gets updated every other day so for those willing to wait for chapters you will not be disappointed

Fun story to read!! As a simple shoujo novel I give it 4 stars.

However, if Ur not a major fan of all the tags on this novel, it's more of a 3 or 3.5 stars.

P.s.

MTL was mostly understandable, but quite hard and needs dedication : (

Reading the translations is way better.

This is sooo much fun to read. (For me, at least.)

Just... don't take this novel too seriously. Ofc there were those s*upid antagonists and what have you. Lol But still enjoyable. The ML is not some ass who r*pes the MC. He's just a grumpy cat. Fufufufu...

So I've been looking for a novel that stands out from other cliché romance novels and while I scrolled I found this and it did meet my expectations though some parts are a bit cliché like where they spilled wine on her dress 'accidentally'or bullied, evil sister or supposely evil sister gets together with the other sisters crush which is the supposedly ML in the novel MC read but they still did made it stand out with the spending money system?lol and the MC being a ink painter guru which... more>> is not the typical transmigration skills. This novel is very entertaining but the only thing I'd wish is that they'd update more? <<less

The novel is good so far. Actually I was a bit turned off from the summary because I thought the FL would have to plot to get the gifts from the ML. This kind of setting would be very irritating over a period of time. But the novel was pleasant surprise. It made the part of getting gifts from the ML acceptable.

One of the plot holes that i've come across so far is the fact that the FL is allergic to flowers. But she had already worked in flower beds... more>> and was completely fine. Maybe the author forgot about this inconsistency or the translator didn't mention the specific flower she was allergic to. Let's see how it goes.

I would recommend this novel for some light reading. Will update the review once I finish the novel. <<less
