   Selfishness + ambition drive the crazy, idealistic female lead + cutthroat competition among men 😏👍 I randomly picked this out when I was looking for something to read and it turned out surprisingly good. The female lead isn't a naive, innocent girl; self-interest is her core trait. The revenge plot is the main storyline, interspersed with elements of the entertainment industry. The men, initially scrutinizing and exploiting her, gradually become deeply obsessed and compete with each other. There's no mindless, sugary romance; the plot progresses quite naturally.

    The female lead is an actress; everything she does is to get by and become the female lead in her own little world. The male lead is aloof, crazy, and suddenly becomes a love-struck idiot 😂 Some of the plot points are a bit old, but the story has some twists and turns. The conflicts are usually resolved in one or two chapters, and the pacing is quite fast. I think it's very good, but the rating is ridiculously high. Everyone should check it out.

    After being reborn into this world, she lost her memories of the modern world because her brain couldn't handle so many memories. Only last night did those sealed memories gradually awaken. ✨Before the transmigration, she was a beauty, willful, greedy, capricious, heartless, and capricious. Those traits deemed bad by the world seemed insignificant compared to her stunning beauty. She flirted with those who loved her and toyed with those who hated her. She casually attracted genuine affection but never took responsibility, fickle, eccentric, and capricious—that was her nature. Then, in the blink of an eye, she found herself here. She was the original Lin Luoxue, and Lin Luoxue had always been her. Even with her memories of the past, she remained selfish and manipulative.
