Since getting onto a good ranking list early on is important, I may keep the word count down and save up chapters and bookmarks... I haven't abandoned the story, and I have a backlog.
Synopsis:
"Hello, everyone. My name is Lu Ling.
Seventy-seven days ago, I was a student. Fifty-two days ago, I was a server.
Fourteen days ago, I was an actress.
Now, I'm a trainee who thinks she can call herself an idol."
On the talent show Starlight Shines, Lu Ling introduces herself with a microphone in hand.
To be precise, fifty-two days ago, she was the most influential Imperial Noble Consort in the Great Zhou Kingdom of another world.
She had schemed her way from lowly status to the imperial harem, and exhausted herself trying to win the emperor's favor and secure her position. Every day, she was either pleasing the emperor or on her way to do so.
But all her wealth and glory had been nothing more than a fleeting dream. No matter how hard she tried, it couldn't compare to one casual word from those in power.
Reborn in a new era, she feels as if Heaven itself has given her another chance.
She has the same beautiful face as in her previous life, and she has arrived in an age when the entertainment industry is booming and fandom is thriving.
She wants to be a star, loved and adored by millions.
Not to have her fate controlled by just anyone.
And so, a hot new star rises in the entertainment world.
At first, people become casual fans because of her looks, dismissing her as just a pretty face.
Then they discover how dazzling and charismatic she is onstage, as if all the light in the world shines on her.
Young, beautiful, and talented, she's a dream for fans who like to invest in promising stars.
Later, they find out that she can sing, dance, and perform traditional opera, and that she has extraordinary acting talent too. She starts at the top, then keeps climbing and surpassing the audience's expectations.
Most importantly, she really does listen to her fans.
When fans ask her to share more of her daily life, she treats Weibo like a social feed, livestreaming chats every so often and keeping them updated on everything, big and small.
When fans tell her to focus on her career and stay away from romance, she works all year round and even takes down paparazzi spreading dating rumors.
When fans urge her to improve herself and only accept high-quality opportunities, she practices dancing, martial arts, and acting, then lands the female lead role in a film by a renowned director.
Haters mock her as a traffic star.
She turns around and sweeps the Best Actress awards at both television and film ceremonies, earning her place among the serious actors.
Haters accuse her of being greedy and wanting everything.
Yet she really does get it all, reaching the top in every field she enters and winning the highest awards.
Lu Ling's fans couldn't be prouder.
With a queen who automatically pampers her fans and face-slaps the haters, you can't imagine how happy her fans are.

I'm really desperate. I just found the author's article from the list, but the author said he didn't write it because it wasn't on the list.
Will there be more updates? It's very beautiful.
I gave up now, I can't stand it anymore, the progress is too slow!?!
This is not updated every two days, this is updated every N days, come on.
Why can't you fight back? It's so frustrating to watch!
How much do you need to save for this collection? 😭
I'll give it up now. I'll look at it again after the draft in 2 years.
Is this a secret operation??
To be honest, it's easier to lose me now that you are constantly 😂
I don't feel like this manager has ever been an extra.
