    The story is wonderfully conceived, cleverly set, novel and written with a smooth and engaging opening. The work does not follow the common path of a starlet making up for regrets and reaching the top again, but a subversive rebirth narrative that allows the heroine, an international movie queen, to be reborn when she was 15 years old and resolutely choose to apply for directing. At present, the novel has entered a new chapter and the short film exhibition has been launched, and it is at a critical stage when the heroine's studies and career are simultaneously starting. The opening setting of the work is eye-catching, the plot is solidly advanced, and the protagonist has a clear goal. The main expectation lies in how the heroine will combine her artistic vision that transcends the times with her business acumen to create truly subversive works, thereby growing from a talented student admitted under special circumstances to the queen of Chinese entertainment that affects the industry structure.
