Right and wrong are for oneself to judge; let others decide one’s reputation, and don’t dwell on gains or losses. Don’t judge without knowing the whole story. If you’re not involved, don’t take sides. Nothing in this world is inherently unacceptable to heaven and earth, whether a species or a person. We know what happens in the book, but we’re only people outside it, you and I.

It feels like a suspenseful entertainment industry story, and all the supporting characters are intelligent. There aren't any of those disgusting physical descriptions, like cherry lips or anything like that. Plus, it's by the author of "Human Cage." Highly recommended! If you've read "Human Cage," you should know how good this author's narrative and writing style is, right? 😏😏😏 Highly recommended!
As always, Yan Jie dares to write. Compared to other novels about the entertainment industry I've read, this one is noticeably darker, more detailed, and more realistic. It's clear that Yan Jie has specifically studied the fan culture. 😘😘😘
It's absolutely fantastic! I was initially drawn to *Human Cage*, which led me to *Fake Life*, and I fell in love with it too. The author's writing is as excellent as ever; the novel metaphors are particularly captivating, and the delicate and rich descriptions of inner thoughts and multi-sensory environments make you feel like you're right there.
Yan Jie's dark pseudo-documentary writing skills need no further explanation. Although I didn't catch up to her level all at once, I personally feel that it's impossible to catch up to her level all at once either. Reading a little bit every day makes me feel a bit sad and satirical, especially the kind that leans towards party membership. Reading too much of it can easily upset me. ( ˘ ³˘)❤
The pacing is relatively slow, and the writing is quite realistic. It's not exactly thrilling, but I'd recommend it to people with patience. This book feels like something that could happen anytime, anywhere in real life. It's precisely this delicate writing style that makes it so touching. Yan Jie's Picks 💕💕
(This is my first time reading a novel about the entertainment industry, and I don't have any similar books to compare it with, so this is just my subjective feeling.) It's worth watching. I don't follow celebrities, nor do I know anything about the entertainment industry. This book paves the way, revealing the shadows beneath the glitz and glamour.
This is amazing!!!!!!!! So good, so good, so good! Tomato was a little surprised when he saw this book. Yan Jie's books are as awesome as ever. To be honest, this is the only book I can read word by word. It's really good. Although it's not long yet, anyone who has read the previous book knows it must be good. It's really good. Forgive my lack of knowledge, it's really good.
Yizhi's writing is as good as ever. I love reading her dark stories! Keep it up, Yizhi, we'll always be by your side! (I'm a junior high student, a girl, and I love reading her dark stories. She's my idol!) [Heart emoji] [Aixin emoji] [I want to go to Chengdu and get close to Yizhi!]
It's exceptionally good. A high-quality novel, far superior to other haphazard ones. The author possesses genuine intellectual depth, making previous entertainment industry novels seem far too superficial. In conclusion, it's excellent, exceptionally good. The tone is gentle and slow-paced, unhurried, without overly dramatic descriptions or emotions, yet it's simply captivating and refreshing.
Sister Yan is still performing flawlessly; it's chilling to watch. Dr. Yan! A miracle worker indeed!! !! **Important Notice!!!** Kids, please maintain a sound moral compass! Be rational when supporting your idols, don't be keyboard warriors!! Those who are into idols might find this post physically disturbing, so please read with caution!!
