    Seeing this title immediately reminded me of these two books. The first one is about a woman transmigrating into a man's body. The protagonist is either filming or on his way to filming, and he hasn't appeared on any variety shows or anything like that—there's no such thing in the plot. I'm almost finished with it now; it's a bit short, only about 300,000 words, so I can finish it in a day. I found the play-within-a-play elements the author wrote quite interesting, and I really want to watch some of the shows [laughing emoji][laughing emoji]. There's a line in it that I don't quite remember the exact wording, but it was something like, "Men with a feminine core are really charming." As for this one, the protagonist is the kind of person you just grow to like more and more as you read. In the beginning, I thought it was alright, not bad. He's always very serious and doesn't get arrogant just because the show is a hit or he's famous. Instead, he keeps striving to improve himself. Later, even though he's already reached a certain level, he still feels unworthy and has a fear of heights, which is quite funny, but also very sincere. I feel like if such a person really existed in real life, I would definitely embark on a fangirling journey [laughs][laughs]. As for the second book, there's no romantic pairing or much of a love story; it's all about filming dramas. The whole book is filled with plays within plays, and some of the dramas within are very moving. After reading some of them, I really wanted to see those dramas in real life, but unfortunately, they're just novels. The female lead is a very career-driven woman who steadily climbs the ladder of success step by step. I think she has a system, but since I finished reading this book several months ago, I can't remember all the details. I remember there was a system in this book, but its presence was only noticeable in the early stages, providing some assistance to the female lead. It rarely appeared later on, although some details show that the system still existed and could provide her with some items. The main focus was on her striving for her career. Anyway, I really enjoyed reading this book. Of course, you'll see some "female lead halo" towards the end, because the story repeatedly mentions the film and television industry's downturn. In such situations, good dramas are scarce, and any that appear are highly sought after. But the female lead seems to get one role after another. Also, I think in reality, there would definitely be some kind of anti-violence reaction, since the female lead didn't have much capital at the beginning, but she just smoothly landed roles, gradually climbing the ladder to become the one at the top. However, it's a novel, so these things are quite normal, just read it and enjoy. Oops, I suddenly realized I remembered the wrong book! But both are quite good, so I added the other one. You can compare them yourselves. [Laughing emojis]
