    The first book, in my opinion, pioneered the "silly, strong female lead" genre in entertainment industry novels. Nan Xiangwan is amazing, and every character is incredibly adorable. The second book is a romance variety show, with vividly portrayed characters. The male and female leads have wonderful personalities, and I especially love the female lead's personality. It's not cheesy at all, and their interactions are super sweet. The third book is considered the originator of the "abstract female lead" style. Unlike other novels that deliberately portray abstract and eccentric characters, which use up almost all the tired tropes and still fail to elicit laughter, this one makes the female lead feel genuinely abstract and adorable. Especially in the vlog the male lead filmed, you can truly appreciate her vibrant energy and charm. The male lead isn't cheesy either; he understands her well and always catches her jokes. The fourth book, I feel the synopsis doesn't capture its charm. I tried reading it several times, only to be deterred by the synopsis and title, but once you actually read it, it's incredibly healing and brings tears to your eyes. The fifth book is a bit off-topic, but it's still considered an entertainment industry novel—it combines idol stories, thrillers, and a national event livestream. Every story setting is brilliant, like the tutoring center, horse racing, and the German laboratory. The female leads are also very resilient and resourceful. It's just that sometimes the emotional moments at the end are a bit clichéd and overly sentimental.

    ① Honestly, I can call this the best show I've ever seen on Tomato TV. It's very meaningful, and every character's emotions are very well-developed. The male lead has a tragic past, and the female lead is his salvation. My favorite line is, "Seize the day, meet at the summit." ② I can't quite remember, but you can rest assured that most of the ones I've read are pretty good and worth reading. ③ The male and female leads are a bickering couple, it's really hilarious. They bicker constantly at the beginning, even saying things like "Whoever marries a dog will become incredibly sweet later on." ④ This is one of the longer entertainment industry novels I've read. I especially love all of this author's works; they're very logical. It's by the same author as ①. This one also has a physical book and a comic. The male and female leads are disguised as a peacock and a Persian cat, and the "Ten Miles of Red Makeup" scene is amazing. The female lead also has some disguises, and the times they're revealed are quite funny. ⑤ This one is also by the same author as ① and ④. Don't fall in love with it too much! This one is a bit special; its setting is a nine-tailed fox and a vampire, a bit fantasy, but it's very good. The main plot is still in the entertainment industry, so you can rest assured. The relationship between the male and female leads is really touching. The female lead cuts off her tail for the male lead and suffers lightning punishment, while the male lead gives up his vampiric instincts for her. It's very good.

    The first book has a super smooth romance. I don't believe anyone could read it and not like Zhong Ruanxing (the female lead), who's like a little sun. She redeemed so many people. You need to read the whole second book, otherwise you might be confused, but the author writes very well, with clear logic, and perfectly fills in every plot hole. The third book features Teacher Longmao, who's super cool! And Uncle Erguang is adorable too! Long live the Longmao Sect!!! The fourth book has a grand scope and fills in every plot hole very well. The romance is weak, but it's really necessary. No matter how strong the female lead is, she needs someone she can relax and vent to. The male lead usually has a low profile, but he's also very important and a perfect match for the female lead. These books are really good. I'll be really sad if any of you haven't read them, OK?
