A metaphysical master Gong Qingyao never dreamed that one day she would be transmigrated into two thousand years later.

After transmigration, Gong Qingyao has two goals in life.

1. Make good use of her metaphysical skills.

2. Acting well.

But what did this person who has been following her want?

Qin Ze: “Me? I’m your third life goal.”

During a press conference.

Reporter A: “I heard that you can participate in this reality show because of unspoken rules?”

Gong Qingyao glanced at the reporter. Her husband and wife palace has collapsed. Her eyebrows were sunken and there was a black air: “Your husband cheated, if you go home now, you can still catch him.”

Reporter B: “According to insider, your scene in the middle and late stages of this show has increased because you have a close relationship with the director.”

Gong Qingyao glanced at this other reporter.

A person’s parents’ house was on the forehead. Looking at this reporter parents’ house, his left forehead was narrow and collapsed, indicating that his father has passed away, while his right forehead was also sinking and darkly stagnant: “Your mother is sick and it is life-threatening. You are recommended to return quickly.”

The reporters took a step back in silence.

Gong Qingyao: “Are there any more questions?”

Reporters: “…” No, no.

“Did you find out? Any products with commercials or endorsements by Gong Qingyao will be sold out!”

“What’s this! Anyone who has partnered with Gong Qingyao will call her ‘Sister Yao’, even the best actor is no exception!”

“Well, Gong Qingyao doesn’t seem to have any anti fans, even if there are, they will turn into fans within a month.”

Probably deserves a 3.5 ish. Basically no romance but still a somewhat entertaining read. MC doesn't mind revealing her powers in front of people and doesn't really even try to be discreet. It's a little underdeveloped how people react to her as at some point she flies to rescue someone in an accident on film site with wires and the person's just like 'oh, you can fly? I'll invite you to dinner to thank you later.'

The story kind of stays flat and it's just her going through and spreading her... more>> knowledge kind of- idk it wasn't as entertaining as some other stories I've read with this premise cuz there isn't any face slapping or feel good kind of characters like Transmigrated into a Cannon Fodder's Daughter. It also doesn't have the comedic tone of Fortune Teller Master or very much depth to make up for it. Feels like stuff just happens and passes with no significance so it's super shallow. ML shows up fairly early and starts developing feelings obviously somewhere around their 3/4th meeting-ish? It's in the beginning-middle of the novel. Nothing happens between them though and MC shows absolutely no feelings for him all the way to like the end of the novel. No joke he confesses and she's just confused by the timing. Idk it was probably the most lackluster romance I've ever read. They don't actually get together either even by the end. He's chasing her.

The ending was kind of confusing in mtl so I'm not sure if I'm the best to explain it, but it really didn't feel like a great ending. I think I might just have gotten bored too though at that point so idk? It just really drags on and on. The pacing is all kinds of weird in this novel- like it starts to really drag on and on at some point but the climax and resolution somehow happen in like a matter of a few chapters. You can really tell where the author was writing exactly for word count and where they were fed up and trying to move on.

Overall, all the relationships in this and characters are all somewhat super shallow (and definitely super stereotyped) except the MC in some ways (don't get me wrong MC is absolutely the archetype of the overpowered, Mary Sue, indifferent character type but there's glimpses sometimes of an actual personality).

I do like that the MC has a moral code and not just that, she's willing to help people that are considered really annoying because she thinks people can change. Many people in this actually do grow and change for the better and there's not many super evil, terrible villains. I don't think that all people can be as easily redeeemed as they seem to be in this but it's nice to see characters who aren't always brain dead and making the same exact mistakes over and over without changing at all.

Saying all that though, this is a decent-ish novel hence the 4 stars. 3 stars for me means the most mediocre thing to read and while I could argue that honestly, I think it's still ok. It's not a great novel at all and I definitely did get super bored at some point, but also It avoids the crappy tropes a lot of show biz novels have even though it's barely show biz. There's no brain dead antagonists or major dog blood drama. There's no horrible ML where the relationship turns abusive. It's a very simple and good read without many plot holes in comparison to many other novels so I can still appreciate it. I did enjoy it most of the time and just thought the relationship between MC and ML didn't need to be shoehorned into romance when MC clearly didn't care and that the novel was a bit too slow without any impact. Not every novel needs to have a major impact tho so I think it's still fine.

Read for time pass if you're looking for something with low emotional investment and for light reading. <<less

Done MTL. The plot is interesting and also intriguing. I really enjoy this novel, although it focuses more on the MC's desire to revive metaphysics and accomplish the original body wish than love line.

However, I read far too many novels to be aware of human avarice. I believe this author really underestimates human greed. The MC does not hide her might or the fact that she has one from ten ancient beast in the world. Can you image the amount of human greed that can be gathered? This novel contains... more>> far too much optimism, which is hard to achieve in real life. As if nobody greed for the MC's strength or her ancient beast.

Despite the happy ending, I'm curious as to what happens to the MC beyond 'the end' if this novel evolves into a subworld-like system novel. Lol. Would the MC and ancient beast be apprehended by the government and taken to a lab to be turned into a mouse lab, or would another country envious of MC's country try to ruin MC by manipulating her family? Can MC and her ancient beast contend with the army? I guess reader never knows.

In the end, even though MC is powerful, she is also bound by shackles. <<less

It's a solid 8/10 read.

Throughout the story, there are a lot of funny parts, interesting bits, but some repetitive ideas. It's overall entertaining and hit the spot for someone like me who was craving for showbiz with supernatural. But at some point it feels like junk food.

We have FL "transmigrated" into a poor artist in the entertainment industry. Over the time, she helped people using her metaphysic knowledge and experience while trying to get the movie queen award.

The routine is always the same. Variety show -> gets underestimated -> receive... more>> admiration -> solve cases when not doing variety show -> gets underestimated -> receive money ->....

At some point, it gets quite boring but the variety shows and the cases are quite different each time, enough to make it interesting. The thing that gets me the most is the underestimating part. The characters are always following a certain template. I counted and there's six of them at least. These are all female, young, jealous of FL, and was outrightly sinister to FL. If that is not repetitive, I don't know what is.

Other than that, the world setting is strange. At first, we are in a world where law should work. But nearing the end of story, it feels like a lawless world and that's directly opposing the story's world building. I get that this story is heavy on xianxia and supernatural, but it just felt off. This and its repetitiveness of braindead characters made me deduct my good impression on this book.

There are also plenty plot armor/deus ex machina regarding some side characters and events,

Spoiler

like Qin Ze the pseudo ML was always there saving FL's life, helping developing village, and suddenly investing in FL movie. Or how FL can get the movie queen award with only 3, I repeat, three! works with one being almost cameo, one TV drama supporting role, and one female lead in movie.

[collapse]

but I think this story is still enjoyable read. I also like how this is not romance focused plot and the ending left rather open.

Translation quality was good although it was edited MTLed. I can tell TL spent a lot of time and effort in researching since there are a lot of Chinese metaphysical terms.

Overall, give it a try~

Other recommendation of similar stories:

Spoiler
  • The former wife of invisible rich man - supernatural with ghosts, past life, and showbiz with variety show
  • The fortune teller master - transmigrated master in fortune telling, poor to rich. I really like this one but haven't finished reading it.
  • I am matchmaker on taobao - episodic, actress, supernatural ability

It’s a story mainly about FL (MC), her journey and her OPnes. Some things about the story doesn’t have any logic neither it have any realistic feel. Here the ML doesn’t have much role. It’s okay read.

The metaphysics thing isn't my thing but I love the story.

What I can say was, ML is pitiful lol. He is like an extra to the story and he didn't get together with MC because the story already ended. Note: It's NOT BE. It just ended when ML is pursing MC.

This story isn't focus on romance. It's focus is how MC revive metaphysics and achieve the wish to become movie queen while doing it.

I think it's better that it ended like this than to become a bad story.

Novel was great for most of it get a little bit boring near the end of the novel around ch.110

MC is really OP which was okay since lot of reincarnated MC are like that but near the end it was just to ridiculous of how OP she was and it just didn't feel interesting to read anymore.

Spoiler

I feel thing I didn't like

  • How there wasn't a part where ML realized his feeling for MC. It just sudden went from "I treat her different and care about her" to "it so hard to chase a wife" like how did the development get there
  • Sacrifice of Xiaomi, like wtf she was just created just for that purpose
  • How everyone worshipped MC at the end was just werid, like it was okay to just admire her or so but no they like worship her. Talk about MC having a halo

good simple read!

story focused on MC's spreading metaphysics haha it didn't feel like there was much in the acting section but meh

I feel there were some things that were rushed, othered were left unexplained but... (sigh)

Even though I was looking forward to the romance, the story... didn't really make me think towards it so

... more>>
Spoiler

even tho the ending was kinda open bc the last extra, ML (Qin Ze) is still "chasing" MC... and it does kinda make me sad (sigh)

I'm actually okay with it? MC knows of his feelings... and who knows, maybe they will end up together... if not explicit together, she might still be closer to him than others (?) 🥰

A bit sad with the ending but it's okay :')

The story is disappointment with plot holes. This shouldn't be counted in romance category at all.

If not for romance tag,

that tag was just to lure audience.

ML looks more like a side character here. I mean, why add romance tag if it's not romance?

Spoiler

ML and FL didn't end up together, ML was still chasing FL and FL didn't have any spare time for him. I don't know if he is considered ML as well.

Story is a little interesting in beginning, but it got stale repetitive too soon... everywhere MC goes, she predicts, people make fun, and then bow down to her greatness. ML is useless, and exists just for the sake of having a ML. MC, though shown to have a strong moral fibre, is mostly a block of wood - there is no chemistry between the main leads, ML is treated the same or worse than the little ghost-sidekick... The children-go-home is treated as just a tool to form some connection between... more>> the two leads, and every few chapters, we're notified that MC did some calculations and children were found... There seems to be an enemy in the dark who is engineering many events, but everything else is so bland... <<less

I usually love the cold, strong, kick-ass independent MC but in my opinion the way this MC treats the ML is not right. It is obvious that she doesn’t like him romantically, all she cares about is metaphysics, metaphysics and metaphysics. She didn’t tell him no, but she just goes along whenever he asked her out, accepted everything he has done and given her. This gave him the illusion that they’re going somewhere but there wasn’t a single ripple in her heart. MC just strings him along, used him, never... more>> rejecting him but never end up being with him. If she wasn’t the MC, everyone would say this is a despicable, shameless cannon fodder that needs to go. However since she have the MC halo, everyone loves her.

This novel is full of plot holes, dates, timeline and prices are inconsistent, author changes dates and prices (house prices, item prices, mc’s money) as she pleases.

All the antagonists have negative IQ and their tricks were petty, kindergartens level. But her fans and followers are even worse, all they did were sprout rainbow farts about the amazing MC, who have facial paralysis. I don’t even understand how she could be a great actor since she can’t even smile normally or have any ordinary facial expressions.

My biggest beef with the MC is, at the beginning of the story the MC have said multiple times that she wants to find out who have been using metaphysics to harm innocent people.

Spoiler

Especially she had gave her word to Lu Qian Qian that she would help her find out who caused LQQ’s death and avenge her. When they have finally found the culprit, what did the MC do? She just let him go, because she have to go shoot the reality tv!!!! Like wtf? She knows this guy s**ked innocent peoples life force in order to extend his life and she didn’t immediately put an end to him! The mf wasn’t even repentant, he planned on continuing his vile practice. It’s like the cops caught a serial killer, have the evidences and knows he will kill again, but just let him go just because they have a show to shoot. I’m sure the MC would solve him eventually but I just can’t stand this hypocrisy of the mc’s. Who knows how many innocent lives he would have taken by the time she finally bothers to get him?. Oh that reminds me, MC have never dealt with any villains by herself, she either leave them to the cops or wait until they get their own retribution from heaven. This villain who killed LQQ is a metaphysics master so the cops couldn’t deal with him.

[collapse]

Another thing is that the mc’s IQ seem to have dropped. At the beginning, MC is all knowing but towards chapter 118 MC seem to have zero idea about how to find the villains. So I dropped this nonsensical novel. <<less

Spoiler

but I need to say that I HATE this fated sh*t thing. I really don’t understand why it always fate. Why it can’t be her good persona in previous life that she can be reborn? Just feel like everything authors can push on fate and something

so I liked it. It was good. But romance part kinda lacking but it’s okay, I just love MC personality so I don’t care about romance <<less

It's a decent read overall. A pretty simple, straightforward and mostly fun novel about a girl who cultivated her metaphysical power in the time of the ancients being reborn into modern times, an age of skepticism.

Minimal romance, but what is there is pretty cute! Finale spoilers but ... more>>
Spoiler

I was astonished that they didn't formally get together in the end and it just ended with Qin Ze continuing to chase Gong Qingyao. But it does make sense for her character.

[collapse]

Speaking of the ending, it was really poorly set up. Almost none of the information we got in the entire first hundred and ten chapters of the novel were relevant and everything had to be explained in the moment. Like, it wasn't bad, but just be prepared to hear about a lot of things you've never heard about before all of a sudden.

Like I said, it's a good novel and I definitely enjoyed it even if it didn't super spark my interest. The ending definitely felt rushed and almost unfinished so that detracted a bit from my overall enjoyment though. Still, I'd recommend giving it a shot. <<less

It was a fun read, if you're not looking for romance. It has actually the right amount of pace on the story. You should also take into consider that even though it is in romance category, it was only a subplot lol. So, I was definitely craving for some because I know we all want a female husband and male wife tandem.

The start was really good it hooked me right in. I love CNs where the FL solves mini-cases esp. Of the metaphysics kind. But I felt that there's no cohesion with this story or rather a very thin layer of glue was added to hold up this jumble.

The author wasn't good at world building because some random stuff just popped out of nowhere. It felt forced whenever the author tried to move the plot along. The end was really a 🤣 moment. No momentum at all and ending was a... more>> hot mess. But for some reason my reaction was, "Go author you can do it just sprint with all your might towards the finish line!" XD

The FL is your regular OP meta master with no expressions (nothing wrong with that) while ML is a really decent guy. The romance was meh as per usual with these Metaphysics genre.

Should have been 3 ☆ but I enjoyed the mini-cases so upped to 4 ☆. <<less

I came for the romance genre and I was scammed. Honestly I would give it 1 star if not for Qin Ze.

The premise is pretty interesting and it was an okay read at first. If the story goes on well, I might want to give it at least four stars.

The MC is cold and didn't have too much emotional changes, so I took off one star.

... more>>
Spoiler

The author did emphasize how MC was indifferent at first but could feel how precious family and friends are in the end, but it felt like an exaggeration and wasn't really seen throughout the story.

[collapse]

As the story goes on, MC's coldness made the plot rather bland and boring. There goes another star.

Spoiler

The MC is OP and we just know that she would not lose but the MC really doesn't make me feel any thrill or excitement that made me wonder what will happen. I don't feel this bored when reading other novels with OP MC.

[collapse]

The last star is lost because I really feel vexed about how this shouldn't be labeled as romance genre. I feel that even the romantic subplot tag should be removed.

Spoiler

While it's clear that Qin Ze likes MC and does whatever he can to stay with her, he doesn't feel like an ML who would do whatever it takes to make MC his. His actions to chase her was quite reserved like a second ML who would be content just by being MC's side and watch her from the sideline. In the end, it seems that the MC didn't even have a shred of romantic feeling toward Qin Ze.

[collapse]

Another thing that make me vexed (it's just a rant),

Spoiler

It was said that Qin Ze saved MC's life twice. First is when she was just reborn, Qin Ze accidentally ruined the formation that was made to kill MC. Second, Qin Ze took an arrow that was aimed at MC's heart and MC couldn't dodge it. However, I think that Qin Ze has saved her thrice. It was when the ancient sacred beast Feifei attacked the MC and her reality show crew. Although it was said in the end that Feifei was grateful to MC because she saved it in her previous life, but at that time Feifei shouldn't be rational enough to recognize MC. And MC has lost all of her energy that she almost fainted. And then Qin Ze shot it, so Feifei got smaller and MC could take it away. I think Feifei should've regained rationality because of Qin Ze's shot, so it should've count as Qin Ze saving her. If not because of this shot, I think it should just be Feifei attacking MC who lost consciousness. It just feel vexing as to how the author didn't mention it, though it might be that my own conclusion is different from the author's intention, so I won't take off any star because of this.

[collapse]

Finally, I gave two additional stars because I just fell in love with Qin Ze that I steeled myself to read this novel through the end.

Spoiler

1. Qin Ze could recognize MC right away although MC was wearing heavy make up that has already ruined after falling into a lake when he met her the first time, and MC has almost no makeup on the second time he met her.

2. While Qin Ze doesn't appear much, he really appeared whenever MC is in need for help.

3. Qin Ze trying to help trafficked children to go home although pretty much everyone dissed him as a s*um really touched my feelings.

4. Qin Ze could disregard his own life for the sake of saving MC.

5. Since Qin Ze doesn't appear much, so his interaction with MC shouldn't be that much, but it seems that he could really understand MC. Since he and MC are practically from a different world (MC is a metaphysics master and he didn't believe and knew nothing about metaphysics at first), it feels impressive and made me moved how he could understand her within a short timespan with little interaction.

2.5 rounded down, and extremely baffled that this novel scrounged up a score above 3.5 to begin with.

Extremely mediocre junk food type read with even less substance than I expected. Dropped because while the premise is moderately interesting, the middle is so bland that I couldn't keep going. This story bears some similarity to reading a play's script, or some such thing, in that it's "MC does this! Wow! MC predicts that! Wow! MC is morally good! Wow!" It's a remarkable waste of time, and the worst thing is that... more>> it's not even a particularly good junk-food read; a lot of the humour falls flat and the MC's cold wooden "whatever" zen immortal attitude doesn't help. Even the face-slapping is still just... eh, whatever. Just like the MC's attitude towards almost everything in life, once you read this, you really can't bring yourself to care all that much about the novel, the setting, the plot, or any of the characters.

As others have said, this has so little to do with being a movie queen that I don't understand what the point of adding that plot point in is. If the focus of the story wasn't split onto 50 different things, perhaps this could've worked out better. <<less

Quite an unexpected story. I was expecting some cliche romance about metaphysics and now rewarded with cliche metaphysisc sprinkled with romance.

At first I thought it was gonna be a real slowburn. Didn't quite rralize until the end that even till end, the ML stil has not succeed in getting the MC. So about the romance, it is an open ending.

However it's still a nice read even without romance. It's just so satisfying to see MC and her incredible knowledge on these kinds of niche things.

3.0 ⭐

It just wasn't memorable. Honestly, it does nothing special but is definitely representative of this sub-genre. The characters are likeable enough when you're reading it and the plot is easy to follow. Again, it gives you what it promises (it doesn't promise a lot).

I gave it a 3.0 because I don't remember it as well as I should. It is what it is.
