Synopsis

[No Romance + Career-Focused + Feel-Good Power Fantasy]

After finishing the last show of her tour, Chi Sui collapsed backstage and died from overwork.

She transmigrated into a novel as the comparison character.

In the book, she and the heroine signed with a major company and became trainees. The heroine worked hard and climbed from the bottom to the very top.

But Chi Sui was only good at scheming. She refused to practice, dragged others down with her, and envied the heroine. In private, she pushed her down a flight of stairs, and online she spread made-up sexual rumors about her.

Chi Sui: ? I wouldn't do anything that stupid.

Heroine: Sui Sui, sign with them! Let's debut in a group together!

Chi Sui: I'll have to pass.

To avoid dying from overwork, she decided not to compete at a major company. The company she'd originally signed with was small and had few resources, but the conditions were pretty good. It was perfect for taking it easy!

She said she was there to take it easy, but every one of her bandmates still had a dream. As their senior, Chi Sui offered them a little guidance.

In just one month, Sherry was transformed. Netizens cried out in disbelief: ??? Is this really the same group where every member was a good-for-nothing?

Chi Sui thought a sweet-girl image didn't suit their group. A sexy, cool, and stylish concept would fit them much better. So she made a suggestion to her company, and even offered one to the group next door.

The company took her advice, buying them a sexy song and getting the other group a fairy-like one.

When Sherry made their comeback, they took the world by storm! The other group went from unknown to everyone's new favorite, too!

Even their tiny company suddenly became a household name!

Chi Sui: …Wasn't I supposed to be taking it easy? How did I end up making the whole company take off?

I think the low score might be related to the female lead's passive-aggressive behavior earlier in the story. That part of the plot was indeed a bit frustrating to watch; she tried to hide her weaknesses but kept revealing them, leaving things half-hidden, which was a bit disheartening to watch. 😂 The plot gets really exciting after the female lead changes her mindset.

Aside from the last two chapters where I didn't like the female lead revealing her origins, the rest of the story was excellent. The original and current female leads weren't diametrically opposed; they could ignore each other or reconcile, but there was no laissez-faire ignoring or overly compassionate reconciliation.

Every character is so well-written, it's more of an ensemble piece, everyone has their own shining moments 😫😫 I really love that there's no female rivalry. Could you consider this a satisfying ensemble piece? I highly recommend it, every female character is adorable 😘 However, the female lead's initial lack of effort was a bit frustrating, especially the part where her teammates were all working hard. The later parts were much better written.

Please keep the pairings to a minimum! While the reserved pairing is quite appealing, it would be really off-putting if a group of friends formed a couple. (Also, a note for newcomers: watching the female lead do sit-ups lying down in the early episodes was really frustrating, but after she comes to her senses—especially during the part where they're making their new album—the story really gets great and worth watching. I stayed up all night watching until 8 AM.)

Why is the rating so low? It's so good!!! Maybe the female lead was a bit lazy at first, but after she changed, it's all about satisfying reads now. It's a classic story, I'm just here to give it a boost. It's really great, super great! Keep up the good work, author!!!

This is the only entertainment industry novel I've ever read that focuses solely on career development, and it doesn't delve into the first two years before glossing over the rest. Even without detailed descriptions, it still covers a lot of ground and is very rich in content. If the author could write some side stories, please explore the on-screen couples; the author's own sweet moments are different from what I imagined (●'◡'●).

It's super good, the content is detailed and honest, and the character relationships are portrayed exceptionally well. Also, can't Chi and Jiang Jiang really be a couple? Chi really seems like an older sister. The author has done a great job maintaining the original pace! Don't let it affect you! If the pace speeds up, please don't let it fall apart! Compared to other novels, yours is truly, truly excellent.

So good!!! Although the female lead's slacking off in the early stages made me a little impatient, the gradual progression was also very enjoyable, keeping my expectations high. In short, every character is so vivid, leaving me wanting more. It felt like I was accompanying the group through their initial obscurity, their arduous journey, and their eventual rise to world-class stardom.

Ahhhh, this is so good!!! It perfectly captures my tastes. So far, there haven't been any parts that I found offensive. All I see is the atmosphere that working people dream of, and the most genuine emotions between the girls. It doesn't maliciously distort or romanticize the entertainment industry; it's a truly realistic story with a touch of hopeful expectation.

Unlike typical idol dramas set in the entertainment industry, the female protagonist focuses on her career, leading her group to achieve their dream of becoming world-class idols. There's no romantic pairing, no complicated love lines, and the female lead isn't a saint. After reading the whole book, I found it quite to my liking and it deserves a higher score!
