   Reader note

   I've read them all, and I highly recommend these: ① Single female lead, ensemble cast, male lead is funny and mischievous, but also loyal and righteous. The story revolves around international cultural and entertainment conflicts, with a decent amount of romance, not primarily focused on love. ② Single female lead, highly recommended. The romance develops gradually and steadily. The male and female leads have distinct personalities. ③④ Same author, single female lead, many songs, all sweet romances. ⑤ Relatively average, didn't leave a deep impression on me, but the male lead almost dying in the middle was memorable. A sweet ending. ⑥ Surprisingly, the epilogue is another book! The female lead is not in the entertainment industry, and it's still a sweet romance. ⑦ Cute kids join the cast, heartwarming, happy, and peaceful. No pretentious slapstick or entertainment industry battles, just the happy life of a cute family. ⑧ Same author as 7, heartwarming, slow-paced, tranquil and everyday, no wish-fulfillment, no slapstick, no pretentiousness. Of the eight books, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7 are my top picks.

This isn't a fast-paced entertainment novel focused on immediate gratification; it's a story about salvation, a tale that blends personal destiny, industry changes, historical memory, and national sentiment. It features a single female lead and includes lyrics and music; I've written songs for Leslie Cheung, Anita Mui, Nicholas Tse, and Eason Chan. It's not the typical fast-paced entertainment novel that relies on constant film releases and awards to generate instant gratification.

    These two books are somewhat similar, but each has its own merits. In the first book, the male protagonist is a composer who, to help the original owner achieve her dream, doesn't immediately use his special abilities to compose music. Instead, he writes a novel first, focusing on heartwarming moments and avoiding any pretentiousness from the start. The male protagonist is also quite funny, especially his inner monologues; the female protagonist has a great presence, a slight contrast to her usual self, and a touch of arrogance. The second book is also quite good—my ancestor's work, the source of my novel inspiration. Special thanks to this book.

    I clicked on "Entertainment: Starting as the Most Beautiful Concubine and Becoming a Viral Sensation Online" with a try-it-out mentality. Initially, I was only intrigued by the title "Concubine in Cross-Dressing," but I never expected that reading from the first chapter to chapter 940, a nearly two million-word novel, would be like chasing a gentle firework, captivating me from the initial stunning opening to the present unforgettable experience. In Tomato Novels' entertainment fiction genre, I've seen too many works that rely on mindless face-slapping and forced intellectual stunts to create satisfying moments. But Meng Lou's book is like a refreshing breeze, breaking free from the shackles of convention. Through the growth of a young man, it fully expresses the weight of passion and sincerity, providing me with an incredibly healing reading experience. The moment Fang Can appeared in the opening scene dressed as a concubine, I, like many readers, was instantly struck by its power. Unlike most entertainment novel protagonists who arrive with an aura of overwhelming charisma, he was just an ordinary young man fresh out of the gate, carrying a touch of naivety and bewilderment. Yet, he portrayed Yang Guifei's gentleness and melancholy with remarkable depth and nuance on screen. It wasn't a sensationalist cross-dressing performance; it was the captivating elegance in his eyes and brows, the undeniable charm in the graceful movement of his sleeves, and the moving power that comes from genuine empathy with the character. Watching him rise from obscurity to overnight fame with just one role, witnessing the doubts and scrutiny from netizens and the cameras, yet never losing his reverence for the character, I suddenly understood. The true appeal of this book wasn't the "viral internet sensation," but rather the journey of an ordinary person who, through sincerity and passion, gradually breaks down prejudice and establishes himself. The Wishing Cat's existence is more like a gentle companion than an invincible cheat code. It doesn't directly give Fang Can cheat codes, but only provides guidance and comfort through small gestures when he's confused and tired. The interaction between the man and the cat is just like the most touching companionship in ordinary life, giving this entertainment industry story a unique warmth from the very beginning. From the first chapter to chapter 940, Fang Can's breakthroughs have never been shortcuts. I watched him repeatedly study historical details to portray Qin Shi Huang well, hiding the domineering aura of unifying the world between his brows, and finally being praised and recognized by the official. I watched him sing "Though Humble in Rank, I Dare Not Forget My Country" in red, with the burning passion in his eyes, making countless readers' eyes red along with his. I watched him cosplay Nezha, breaking the public's stereotype of traditional characters with the arrogance and sincerity of youth. Behind these shining moments lies his countless hours of practice and refinement, his reverence and dedication to each role. There are no forced moments of slapstick humor, no clichéd strokes of luck; every step he takes is solid and resolute. What surprised me most was the entertainment industry depicted in the book—free from the messy drama and cutthroat competition. Fang Can encounters directors willing to give him opportunities, seniors who genuinely cheer him on, and fans who quietly support him. He eats boxed lunches with the crew on set, shares his daily life with fans during live streams, and interacts with the "Wishing Cat" during breaks in rehearsals. These small, everyday moments detach the story from the superficiality of the entertainment industry, making it exceptionally real and warm, allowing me to always find a gentle corner to relax in while following the story. The "no female lead, no harem" setting further ensures that this pure passion remains undisturbed. In Fang Can's world, there are no complicated emotional entanglements, only a love for the stage, reverence for his roles, and the warm companionship of those around him. He developed a mentor-student and friend-like relationship with the senior members of the crew, engaged with fans on a mutually beneficial basis, and walked alongside his partners. This clean and pure atmosphere maintained a light and healing tone throughout the book, free of hostility and internal conflict. Reading it was like holding a hot milk tea on a winter's day—warm and comforting. The author's depiction of daily life also subtly paid homage to traditional culture. The operas Fang Can sang and the characters he portrayed on stage all embodied the charm of traditional opera. From Yang Guifei's flowing sleeves to Qin Shi Huang's dragon robe, from Pei Yanzhi's red robes to Nezha's magic ribbons, each character represented a reinterpretation of traditional culture. Fang Can brought these traditional characters to the public in a way that appealed to young people, allowing more people to see the charm of traditional culture. The detailed descriptions of opera and characters also revealed the author's dedication—not simply a collection of symbols, but a story told with reverence. Of course, the book is not without its flaws. The early plot is somewhat slow-paced, which might not satisfy readers who prefer fast-paced, exciting stories. While Fang Can's growth arc is realistic, some plot points unfold somewhat slowly, lacking sufficient dramatic conflict. However, these minor shortcomings do not detract from its emotional impact. The author clearly intended not to write a fast-paced, feel-good story, but rather a tale of passion and growth. The slow-burning pace, like a gentle stream, allows ample time to experience Fang Can's development and appreciate the warmth behind each character. Those seemingly ordinary daily moments, those small, heartwarming instants, are what make this book so touching. With 940 chapters and nearly two million words, Fang Can's story continues. From a fledgling newcomer to an actor recognized across the internet, every step he takes is solid and determined. The most moving aspect of this book is never the highlight moments, but the gentleness and passion hidden in the details. It shows me that an ordinary young man can shine on stage through passion; the power of gentleness can break down prejudice and amaze. In this fast-paced era, it's a fortunate thing to read such a clean, warm, and powerful entertainment novel. It didn't teach me how to succeed quickly, but it made me believe that sincerity and passion are always the most moving forces.
