I'd like to read something like I Became a Top-Tier Star Thanks to My Unconventional Way of Thinking. The male and female leads are both in the entertainment industry. The female lead has a talent for acting and works hard to hone her skills. After years of taking supporting roles, she's just one lucky break away from making it big. It's got that satisfying feeling of finally getting rewarded for all her hard work.

This is really beautiful. Help!!! "Teacher Spear" is simply a crazy version of the entertainment industry! I don't allow anyone who doesn't know about our spear teacher Jiang Qiyu to directly start the "anti-bone war god" mode - when the whole network is blackmailed, he will reply "Shit beetles don't like gold ingots". The comments about love porn are so crazy that people on the Internet dare to say "Whoever pokes with shit will die". Top movie stars, popular idols, and rebellious young men are all hunting her down, but she says, "I don't think I can do that." When everyone was eating "Uncle Slap × Teacher Spear", Qi Yu said "She is my Qiyu" and the scene exploded! There is no limit to the jokes, and the madness is so thorough that it turns the entertainment industry into a joyous stew. Every chapter is refreshing the upper limit of "lack of great virtue". After reading it, I said: This crazy madness should be seen by the whole world!

After a top idol appears in a book, the actor's husband becomes the backdrop? When Won Chu took the curtain call on the stage of the Seoul Music Awards, he never thought that he would fall into the Mary Sue novel he wrote in high school in the next second. What's even more outrageous is that she dressed up as Chu Nian, the cannon fodder female supporting role who risked countless lives in pursuit of the Best Actor, but was eventually scolded by the entire network and quit the industry. "Love brain?" Yuan Chu pulled off the pink lace hairband in front of the mirror, revealing a sharp jawline, "The only thing in my dictionary is the stage and the script." So, the whole network witnessed an outrageous counterattack: Chu Nian, who was supposed to be around Lu Nian, blew up the audience with his impromptu rap in the variety show; a crying scene on the set made the director clap the table; even the airport pictures showed the excitement of "Don't bother me, I have to catch up with my schedule". The one who collapsed the most was the actor Lu Zhinian. He went to visit the class with a thermos bucket, and his wife (?) Didn't even raise her head: "Let's leave it there, I'm playing the opposite role." He booked the entire restaurant date, and the other party took out the script: "Teacher Lu, can you help me get this opposite role right?" Fans "Nian Gao" were ecstatic: "It turns out we are more important than Brother Lu!" My sister is focusing on her career, and we love her!] Until one morning, Lu Zhinian posted a Weibo, accompanied by a candid photo - Yuan Chu fell asleep on the script, with some cake crumbs stuck to the corner of his mouth, and the thermos cup he gave next to him. There are only three words in the copy: Got it. Hot searches were immediately paralyzed. Netizens went crazy: [He is really! I cried to death! Chasing your wife and becoming a career fan, but in the end you have to rely on a thermos cup to win?] Yuan Chu was woken up, looked at the hot searches on his phone, and then looked at the red-eyed man next to him, and suddenly smiled. It turns out that the correct way to open a Mary Sue novel is not to die for love, but when you are dazzling enough, love will catch up with you.
