   I only found these two books on my bookshelf. The first one is absolutely amazing! The author is incredibly charming and captivating, gentle, bright, and sincere. She hand-wrote 5200 IDs and added blessings, went live on her birthday to spend time with fans, and even lost a lot of weight for a role – at 172cm tall, she only weighed 72kg [crying emoji]. She's so dedicated! Although she has a system, it's not very useful; she has to work hard for everything. The system has a setting of being able to charm men, but that's ironic; she's firmly controlled by the protagonist and won't fawn over any man. She truly achieves everything through her own efforts and faces various forms of suppression. A huge plus for me is the portrayal of a celebrity's influence, exposing the sanitary napkin scandal and prompting major manufacturers to rectify their practices. This novel really made me feel the hardships of the entertainment industry, and I felt faith and gentleness! The low rating is because there are fewer readers. The second book, "Little Fish," is incredibly sincere. It's about a fitness girl group, and the characters are lively and cheerful, even writing their own songs. There's no romance; Little Fish shines in her own way. I like strong female leads and no romantic pairings, so this one should meet your expectations!
