   Reader note

   This is arguably the best Sisi fanfiction I've read on Tomato. It doesn't portray her as a mere accessory to the male lead, nor as a naive and innocent character. The male lead focuses more on supporting and guiding her. Other novels depict female celebrities from the same era as ruthless climbers or as Sisi's best friends, with the male lead then indirectly creating a harem and providing resources. This novel completely avoids that. It doesn't emphasize the power struggles among female celebrities, but instead focuses entirely on the male lead and Sisi's careers and daily lives. Highly recommended.
