Favorite showbiz novels (and those I plan to read)

Favorite showbiz novels (and those I plan to read)
As the title says, this is a non exhaustive list of novels that take place in the entertainment circle. 

All chinese novels, usually with a female protagonist, with or without romance. The list includes the stories I really like and those I enjoyed but will likely not remember after a while.

As always, the novels not on NU will be added in the comments!

Only 60 chapters got translated so far but MC is funny. She transmigrated into a ridiculously beautiful teenager and get a very smooth road so far. She’s quite narcissistic, super intelligent and very good at acting. She’s unfortunately too young so it’s a bit underwhelming when it comes to drama.... more>>

    Become a group favorite (当炮灰女配成为团宠): Super cute MC and super cute romance. Quite similar to Get to know wife fan in a sense, where MC turns haters into fans. MC gets a system that forces her to spend time with ML and with the weird tasks they get to know each other and fall in love.

    替身在女团选秀十项全能了(The double is in the women's team draft decathlon): My apologies for the terrible MTL- ed title.

    MC, a dancer, transmigrated into a canon fodder in a novel and joined an idol program a bit randomly. The story follows the whole program and the competition and friendship between the girls for the first 100+ chapters. MC is very talented, very lovable, quite shy and a good person. She is lonely and learns to enjoy life and how making friends is so much fun. Very similar to another story that came out at the end of last year but more enjoyable in my opinion as MC is less OP (but still OP!) and I am totally shipping her with one or two or seventy thousand characters. 

    Story is still ongoing on feb 21st, 2021

    Hello, Mr. King: Fast paced - more than a year happened in the first 30 or so chapters. MC was a famous star until her death and transmigrated into a teen’s body. This time, her goal is to be a great actor and “love every piece she acted in with passion”. She’s a great MC, strong willed, arrogant and smart, but the biggest strength of the novel so far are the movie she acts in. They are all very detailed and quite shocking and emotional.

    I find the romance and ML really weird tho.
