Name: Unwillingly Talented in Both Virtue and Art
Author: A Husband Without Wine

Synopsis

I transmigrated with a System! Feng Qichuan plunges headfirst into the entertainment industry, starting out as an extra. A successful life, here I come!

Why are there thunder and lightning every time I try to become an actor?! So that’s why the System is called Virtue and Talent, Both in Full Bloom!

When the public praises her as a skilled actress, Feng Qichuan smiles modestly, tears streaming inside: What acting skills? I’d rather be an apple pie…

“Now that’s what you call a beauty trap. Only with her could Zong Hanhai be said to be a hero who can’t resist a beautiful woman. In other dramas, the male leads act like fools opposite ugly people, and the audience gets taken for a ride.”

“ "Because I’m introverted, I maxed out my acting skills"”

“She’s so convincing as both the upright Captain He and the cold-blooded Sister Dao. I’d call Feng Qichuan the best actor of the new generation.”

“Industry gossip: She has eighteen identical sisters. Every drama is actually a different person.”

“People love Feng Qichuan for her incredible acting. She brings every one of those wildly different roles to life. The real her is a gloomy, taciturn person, so who’s in love with her? (smirking emoji)”

[High-energy warnings]:

1. Some supporting characters, both male and female, have unrequited feelings for the female lead. She never reciprocates or shows interest. There are also fans shipping couples, both BG and GL.

2. A lot of forum-style sections.

3. The female lead is socially anxious, awkward, and from humble beginnings.

4. The focus is on the female lead’s career.

Please forgive me for being unable to manage the comments because of real-life commitments. I can only ask here that everyone prioritize enjoying the story and not argue. Also, no writing advice, please.

Theme: Though the road is short, you won’t reach your destination without walking it; though a task is small, it won’t get done unless you do it.

Recommendations and warnings. Anything goes except GL. Five stars means I’d reread it because it’s satisfying; four means it’s good but didn’t quite hit the spot; three means it does the job; one or two means it has major dealbreakers.

Some Are Paywalled

I like reading ongoing stories, but hate following them as they update. A contradiction that has led me to abandon a lot of books. I deleted the ones I'd read before, so I'm keeping track here now
