(I'm also surprised that this is supposed to be a cover)
I made a second attempt at reading this one and once again I failed. It's nothing much but for some reason my interest keeps failing at the same place, around 40+ chapters.
This story is about Shi Yue, she was a rich heiress in her own world that entered entertainment business and became an actress for the fun of it, before she fell in love with the craft and eventually became famous. Now she transmigrates and becomes a girl with failed family and gambling father, she is now just like Internet celebrity who became famous because of her beauty when she was interviewed after the college entrance examination, but after that she was pretty much an unknown person, while she continued her studies.
She also has a system that wants her to follow the scripts and fall in love but Shi Yue says she'd rather operate screwdriver all day. She knows that she is actually a biological daughter of a wealthy family, but babies were swapped after the birth and she lived her miserable life since (og Shi Yue). Shi Yue who arrived during high school basically changed her fate through studying. To others it always felt like suddenlt there si this pretty, smart and confident girl.
This is mainly a harem type of story because Shi Yue has many potential love interests, but you'll be disappointed who will be the final ML of the story, because the story does not make him look good at the beginning. And his name is Shen Chengchuan. His problem is he was the first to investigate Shi Yue and find that she was actually a daughter of Feng family he wanted to take down (likethe classic you cause my father to die so I'm back for revenge type of setting). Like any man he thought it's going to be easy to impress a girl, but he had no idea that he came into contact with pretty experienced rich heiress who didn't take these men seriously.
Honestly, I stopped basically in the middle every time and by that time none of the male interests were good enough. So I have no idea what happens next and considering this was my second attempt I decided not to follow through.
But Mr Shen pushes Shi Yue towards a dating show where all male interests who partially have a story with Shi Yue will appear.
Spoilers~
Male interest #1. Shen Chengchuan, a promising talent who accomplished creating his own company which is very successful. He has a beef with Feng family because they caused his father to become a scapegoat for their scheme and eventually not handle the pressure and unalive himself. I could understand why people didn't like him, because he treated Shi Yue like any other girl and wanted to use cheap tricks, not to menion the idea of using her for his own plans. His actions are just choppy and reactional because Shi Yue does not act by the book. I really couldn't get the moment when he felt like yeah this was my girl and I'm going to fight for it, others had stronger feelings.
Male interest #2. Yan Shuhe probably has the most interesting arc of all men to me, because his situation with Shi Yue is more profound. They knew each other from high school, but at that time he never realized his feelings and basically just felt most comfortable with Shi Yue around. But it didn't stop him from dating many girlfriends from school to university and he was a playboy. Maybe he treated love so cheaply because of his own family situation, divorced parents and cheating father who would go for anyone. he actually remarried to Shen Chengchuan's mother and they became step-brothers. But Shi Yue didn't see the same situation from the light of Yan Shuhe, to her a lot of his escapades with women was surely not welcomed, since she was constantly disturbed by them or was subjected to rumors of sort, some even insisted she was in love with Yan Shuhe but kept it a secret. Yan Shuhe actually didn't take the beginning of this dating program seriously, he just wanted to distract Shi Yue from becoming target by Chengchuan, but instead found himself caught in the past and slowly realized his feelings he had for so long, which grew stronger each day. At least he was more complex compared to others.
Male interest # 3. Jiang Shuiliu is a famous actor and is very aloof young man. He went through some traumatic experience during his first years after debuting so young and later it took a toll on him. During those times he met a person online, which was original Shi Yue, our Shi Yue continued to play games with him and they could talk about anything, but they never opened up about their real identities. On the show it happened to be a concidence that Shi Yue blew up her cover and Shuiliue realized that the girl he was talking to, who pretended to be much older single mom, is actually a girl in front of him. So he started his pursuit. At the point where I stopped it was not clear if his feelings were love and for who, for present Shi Yue or the past one.
Male interest #4. Jian Huai is another rich heir who lived pretending to be a common guy, he worked close to where Shi Yue lived, this is why she knew him beforehand, but thanks to system she figured who he is. Outwardly he is sunny and approachable, but in reality he is very manipulative and calculating, likes watching people destroy themselves. Like one actress on this dating show he made her fall for him so quickly, but later she was so obsessed with him that she lost all reason. he was interested in Shi Yue because she was once agin "not like other girls".
The story itself is nothing much, daily interactions at the villa they lived during filming, their daily lives outside, interactions etc.
Most of the time it felt like stream of consciousness, when someone starts with a mnologue, for example, and then it continues as a text, a recollection of memories and feelings. In this way author expressed what their characters feel etc.
Of course it all went not without a conflict, but mostly on the internet, especially Shi Yue who was accused of this and that because others were jealous of her, of course all troublemakers were women, because women can't see other women succeed. Also public was pretty against her since she was a nobody, but Jian Huai was a nobody too, so double standards. Many viewers after some time asked Shi Yue to publish a book on how to tame men, because they witnessed how she didn't put much effort but was eventually surrounded by majority of men in that dating show.
I stopped reading before she was recognized back to the Feng family, I honestly lost interest and the way paparazzi chased her and Shen, while Jain Huai used helicopter to take her away I thought to myself this was too melodramatic moment for me, I'm out.
From last chapters I took a look at she indeed returned to her familu, she was dealing with her eldest brother, who wanted to basically sell one of his sisters to some dude he knew for cooperation. Shi Yue was dealing with her father, at least it felt like she pinned him down. Good for her. She didn't continue with entertainment business because why. The "fake daughter" was actually on her side. It felt like she and Shen Chengchuan came together but had something going on before she gave him another chance or smth. Jian Huai was so twisted in the head that he didn't mind any position just so he could stay with her (he was like, I can wait, but I can also sabotage). As for two others I have no idea.
There was nothing inherently bad about it, well, before helicopter, but in general my interest just vanished slowly but surely. So I decided not to torture myself and put it down with finality.
RATE: DNF
