A love in the entertainment industry started with a “Weibo hot search”.

I didn’t mean to exploit your popularity and take advantage of you!

Ran Lin was barely surviving in the entertainment industry. However, after a huge misunderstanding, he was thrust into the spotlight because of Lu Yiyao, one of the hottest actors. For the first time in his life, Ran Lin’s name appeared in the top searches. On the other hand, Lu Yiyao deeply regretted his hug at the airport.

One knew that he was in the wrong, while the other was utterly disgusted. Never in their wildest dreams would they have expected their fates to be irreversibly intertwined after a variety show…

The sign of a good book is when you realize you're thinking about it when not reading it.

I'm convinced this author is working in the entertainment industry, and might even be a screenwriter. Not only because of the in-depth knowledge used to write the novel, but also because of the excellent story within the story - the drama the actors were starring in - I would watch that drama if it were available.

There were pockets of humor that had me lol, mostly from the side characters. I feel like I... more>> know Gu Jie and Xia Xinran. And wish they were my friends.

Part of this is a finding yourself and then coming out novel - while surrounded by the best people in the world. Chapter 98 sums up the entire vibe. It's mature, thoughtful, considerate, warmhearted. I absolutely loved it. <<less

One of the best showbiz novels that I have read! MC and ML are not OP, and even in the end -

Spoiler

they didn't publicize their relationship, as what MC said to ML's parents. This is actually very realistic

[collapse]
.

Realistic showbiz danmei novel, this is what it is. Not exaggerated face-slapping, and from -

Spoiler

good friends to becoming bad friends, this is really real. Even the consequences of the 'villains' are not exaggerated, as some can even be redeemed - maybe, just like ZBC who in the end exited the industry despite all his efforts just to reach the top. It has to be said that too much is bad, because ZBC became too ambitious that it burned him. Though his ending is not bad and is even realistic compared to the other showbiz danmei novels that I read which is too 'cool' (guilty since I actually also enjoy this 🤣).

[collapse]

Anyway, MC is an obscure actor who 'made' his presence known by a misunderstanding in the airport when ML, a rising actor, mistook him for a fan. What happened after that... is what this book is about. 🤣

This is definitely a must-read! <<less

I actually read the Manhua adaptation first a few years back and it was one of the few Manhuas I really followed for updates along with "Pixiu's Eatery, No Way Out" but didn't know the novel title.

Surprisingly felt long considering it's only 101 chapters and my only complaint is that there's no extras after QAQ

Ran Lin is baby and must be protected! Gentle, sincere, and kind, but also has a bottom line he won't cross. He's someone who would forgive someone who wronged him but wouldn't do so unless the... more>> other party explained and apologised.

Lu Yiyao meanwhile, though unapproachable at first, is good to those who can overcome his initial barrier. Actually kinda funny and endearing despite being so serious.

Side characters were also memorable and lovable. I adore how their friends and family, though playing a second role in the book, all have stories of their own and actually feels like people, not just background props there to prop up the main characters. GU JIE BEST BOY.

There's also a lot of thought and care given to the roles and plays the MC takes, and the Showbiz aspect isn't just the setting, but an integral part of the story.

In conclusion: READ THIS GEM <<less

I rarely write review, but this novel is just so amazing that I want to show it off.

First of all, the characters is very well written. I like almost every characters because of how human they are.

Spoiler

My favorite is definitely Zheng Beichen. His jealousy, ambition, longing and manipulation is very refreshing, like every human being who is sometimes influenced by their negative emotion and in the end destroyed them. I like how the author wrote him, like even though he's bad, but he still has conscience and sadness. His bad ending is well deserved, but I wish the author wrote his condition after the Weibo confession thing

[collapse]

The plot itself is refreshing. I really enjoy domineering CEO Gong, but sometimes it become quite repetitive that I wish for normal Gong instead. And this novel is exactly it. The ML does have powerful background, but he doesn't abuse it, almost none except for when he first started his career.

This novel is not fall-in-love-at-first-sight cliche. The ML even hates MC at first lol but thank God they both are clear headed people. The romance is slow at the beginning, but then happens unexpectedly.

Overall, 9/10 would recommend. The translations is also good <<less

Rating: 4.5. I round up to 5 in favor of the novel.

First of all, I thank the translator for his work.

Warning! The review was written with the help of a translator, take care of your eyes.

MC is not OP, unless he is very lucky, as the author himself has mentioned many times. Ran Ling loves to play and his work, and he is willing to work for a goal. He may have opportunities to achieve this goal. But the MC may not agree to them, or the opportunity itself will... more>> float away. Of course, Ran Lin is not a saint, he simply has the beliefs and principles of an adequate person.

Spoiler

What I like most is that Ran Ling always thought about how to make things better for Lu Yiyao. Not to say that he was smart when he refused Lu Yiyao the first time, but it was completely understandable. Many may confuse love with affection, let alone such complex topics as finding your own organization. Ran Lin's refusal saved him from a worse outcome where Lu Yiyao was actually wrong. And it f*cking feels so good. This is also the time for Lu Yiyao to understand himself. MS has thought about everything in this regard, which is good. It’s sad that he had to restrain himself during his “friendship” with ML. But, um, thanks for at least he's not as s*upid as he could be.

[collapse]

I love the way the entertainment industry is portrayed here. Poisonous? Yes. Hypocritical? Yes. Does she still have sincerity? Yes. And you can create this sincerity yourself.

The main characters besides MC and ML are not cardboard here. They have their own character and are interesting to watch. But ?? Of course, they could have been revealed better. But for such novels this is already good. And most of all I liked Wang Xi. She has changed the most in the entire novel.

The love story is slow and quite sweet. As for me, MS was “a little” impulsive when he established a relationship with ML. But overall, this is a healthy relationship where both partners are invested in each other's development.

Overall the novel is not bad. Even better than average for its niche. The only thing that upset me was that the acting scenes themselves were... not enough? The filming was either described in less detail or not really described at all. This is sad... <<less

It's good, really good.

I love the super realistic relationship development. They don't fall for each other at first sight. And MC is ridiculous and adorable. I LOVE the way the author set up the different types of news/gossip/editing/cutting and how real life isn't portrayed accurately by TV. And also the way power is portrayed is well done; ML starts off as super popular already but he's not as OP as MLs in other showbiz novels. It's great.

Spoiler

When MC was just a junior actor who didn't know what to do when the cameras were on him and appeared fake/scheming on TV, felt very real. Only he knew that he didn't have bad intentions inside, but his tacit agreement and inner guilt/conflict was very well done! Also his initial awkwardness on camera for the first episode of the travel show and inner conflict (should he go greet people etc.) and it being misinterpreted by netizens/antifans/etc. all super relateable.

[collapse]

The MC/ML relationship is also super well done.

Spoiler

My favorite was that phone call they had, where they gave each other acting advice. And that their first film on the set, ML (despite being more popular than the MC) realized he could learn a lot from the MC. It's not a unilateral, ML is the top of the entertainment industry and best actor/richest guy/most powerful guy either. And that's super realistic.

[collapse]

Also the villains were very well thought out. The novel felt grounded in reality the way few other celebrity or showbiz novels are. Villains have other goals and don't just jump out for no reason. They also rarely act as dumb or extreme as commonly portrayed in other novels. People know how to cut their losses and move on.

The plot overall is pretty slow. I would have liked a bit more excitement, but overall this was very immersive for me. The side characters and supporting cast were all very thoroughly portrayed as well. And I greatly enjoyed that the ML

Spoiler

chose a different path from the MC.

[collapse]

Spoiler

Also loved that the ML couldn't just "cover the sky with one hand" like MLs from typical showbiz novels. Even when he entered the entertainment industry as a boss, he still had to learn from his elders and it wasn't like those hilarious showdowns where 40-60 yr old businessmen are begging for 25 yr old ML's attention (like in other novels).

[collapse]

Spoiler

Even the persistent villain (forgot his name, the other top idol in the company) mostly just had some snide remarks and posted some SUS news. Nothing like how other novels have them sabotaging the set or trying to hire assassins...

[collapse]

Translation was great for the most part, leagues better than 99% of showbiz novels. Only a few times was I kicked out of the reading by awkward wording (eg: I super prefer antis over "black fans"). KinkyTranslations has great taste in novels/writers! <<less

Well-written entertainment + romance novel that I binge read until my eyes hurt.

It starts with a romance slant, with the chemistry between the two leads slowly but surely developing in fun scenarios that are very satisfying. MC is a high EQ straight forward type of character which I very much enjoy. ML is the overthinking handsome gong who is just the right amount of OP and weakness to be endearing.

It then dives more into acting and talent development in that area alongside the entertainment industry intrigue stuff which was very... more>> engaging—I like it when entertainment novels go into detail on the acting and story bits.

The side characters are funny and made me laugh out loud quite a few times. Admire the friendships built throughout the novel. The villains are a bit... predictable, with some attempt at making them more multidimensional but eh, could have pushed it even more. Even so, they still created a good amount of tension and irritation at the situations set up.

Definite favourite! Didn’t want it to end, wished there were more extrassss. <<less

The best entertainment novel I’ve read. The MC and ML are honest and open in their communication with no contrived misunderstandings. The side characters are also great, and the story is relatively realistic in its portrayal. I think the translator did a good job as well! I would def recommend reading.

The translator did a very good job, with just the right amount of footnotes. Thank you for translating and completing the story. It was a very enjoyable read.

I love the camaraderie between the MC and his circle of friends. It was nice to see how supportive they were of each other. No dog blood or too much face slapping.

Not a bad story but it’s just hard getting immersed in it. I don’t feel much attachment towards both MC or ML. I feel like a lot of events are just getting narrated, there’s no special connection or immersion. The part I enjoyed most was the camaraderie between the group during the reality show. I skipped ahead too and there’s still not much development.

I'm not going to rate this as yet, because I mtl'd the rest of the novel. Though the Mtl version isn't difficult to follow, the translation reads so much better. (This person translated another entertainment novel, and did a really phenomenal job).

In any case, the novel strives to give a real look into the entertainment world, showing the highs and the lows, and the shiny and the seedy. If that's your thing, you're going to want to read this.
