    This is a female-centric entertainment novel where the protagonist transitions from a variety show intern to acting, starting with television dramas and then moving to movies, eventually becoming a film queen. She enjoys a mutually supportive relationship with her fans. There is a system involved, but it's only as a supplementary element and diminishes later in the story. There are male leads and supporting characters, but the focus remains primarily on her career.

    This book's female lead is a career-driven individual; all her revenge and slapping of scumbags is just practice for her acting skills. Legend has it that a seemingly innocent but actually naive beauty is easy to manipulate, and the director of the dating reality show was prepared to use her as a sacrifice. Who knew the female lead would be such a powerful actress, dominating the crew's live stream, leaving the director exhausted with dark circles under his eyes, feeling utterly hopeless, and suffering immense physical and mental damage? 💔 It's incredibly good! ❤️
