    Don't let its unappealing title fool you; the content is truly excellent. I initially hesitated to read this book, as I've been reading quite a few of these kinds of books lately. But I was really looking for something to read, so I clicked on it. What motivated me to keep reading was that it's a no-romance story. Personally, I prefer a fast pace, but the author needs to maintain a balance. This balance is achieved by omitting certain plot points and focusing on the crucial moments in song creation, such as the inspiration behind the song and the audience's reactions during the filming. This book clearly achieves that. (Because at the beginning, before the protagonist transmigrated, the original owner suffered from depression, while the protagonist recovered quickly after transmigrating. I think this is well-written. Even with overlapping memories, it's impossible to truly internalize someone else's experiences; everyone has their own. Besides, I don't think this point is particularly important or worth dwelling on. What readers really want to see is how the protagonist creates songs and becomes famous.)

    ✨This book is great. The song selection is good and fits the protagonist's age well. It also avoids the homogenization common in other entertainment novels, which is a pleasant surprise. (The only downside is that sometimes the song titles aren't mentioned in the chapters, making it a little inconvenient to find the songs.) 🎈"Don't Be Afraid" (by Shenbing Xiaojiang), "My Future Style," "Rainbow Rhythm," "Goodnight Miss" (this song is from a recent chapter and I think it's quite fun.)

    The first book is a Korean entertainment novel. The male lead is incredibly handsome with his striking red hair. Although it's still being serialized, it's already had several hundred chapters. Sisters who like this genre should hurry and check it out, as there aren't many Korean entertainment novels on Tomato Bookstore anymore. The second and third books both feature women disguised as men and are the darlings of their groups. Both also have a system. However, the second book is a newer work, so updates are less frequent; you can save it for later. The third book is absolutely amazing! I love Ningning so much. I'm really looking forward to seeing how Ningning wins over Teacher Xie. I wonder what the ending will be like. Of course, I'm also quite looking forward to the epilogue about him and his roommates. Overall, all three books are pretty good. If you like them after reading the synopsis, you can check them out!
