    Come support Anjiu! If you're looking for a story with idols from various genres, plenty of ambiguous relationships, realistic forum-style writing, and sister-in-law literature, this is the book for you!! Personally, I feel that although the world is short, the author's attention to detail makes it not at all like a "sudden fall in love." The male lead's feelings are very obvious. Most of the plot revolves around Anjiu winning over the male lead and making a lot of money, with very little realistic storyline. And the first thing she does after getting the money is improve herself. It includes various genres: sports, e-sports, K-pop, Japanese pop, and Chinese pop idols and actors. The writing style is quite literary, but the forum-style writing is so realistic it's hilarious. The forum-style writing includes sister-in-law literature that makes fans cringe, so if you're into the fan's perspective, it's best not to read it! In one of Anjiu's stories, she's the maknae (youngest member) of a girl group, loves to post fan content, and is known as "the most devoted of the six." This story by the same author is also very good, but the CP (couple) chemistry isn't strong. It focuses on the female lead's career, and the word choice is generally fine; for example, the use of terms like "sharpening" is very appealing. Bei Qiao is a very charming girl who is very reflective of herself. It wasn't particularly fake, and there were times when she didn't win any awards, but in the end, our Bei Qiao became a three-time Golden Horse Award-winning actress! These two books are from the same timeline, and An Jiu is signed to Bei Qiao's company. If you read Xiao Zhi Yue's books, you're doomed; you really won't be able to stop.
