   A novel about a female entertainment director. Because of a system, the female protagonist is forced to use her talents to make knock-off films. The contrast between her exceptionally good films and the fact that the actual films are advertised as knock-offs creates a humorous and satisfying effect. In short, it's a great, very enjoyable read, and the author's creatively modified plot avoids being formulaic or clichéd. Recommended.

   This is one of the few stories I've read recently that has a well-designed and meticulously structured plot. It can be seen as a dual narrative, with the real-life storyline (actual) and the dramatic storyline (fake) differing in their character relationships and events, yet also resembling a prophecy of fate. The male lead appears to have a powerful background and be mature in his actions, but is actually a bit indecisive in matters of the heart. The female lead seems innocent, yet is highly perceptive and straightforward, knowing exactly what she cares about and wants, and choosing decisively. Before opening the novel, I expected a naturally beautiful woman to dominate the film and television industry, but the entire story revolves around just one drama, all serving the purpose of romance. However, the structure and character design are quite thoughtful, making it one of the few romance-focused novels I've had the patience to read through recently. P. S. I've read the same series of novels that focus purely on the plot and have no romantic pairings; they're pretty good too.

   I was looking for something to read, so I reread some old articles, including one I really liked back then. The author's writing style is unique, with a touch of absurdist drama, and a feel of telling dry jokes in a serious manner. I only started to get to know this author after reading this novel, and later I read other similar works he wrote.

   BL (Boys' Love) - A handsome male law student who is about to graduate and retire early to preserve his good looks and save enough money for retirement, bravely ventures into the entertainment industry. The protagonist's beautiful and advanced mental state, as well as the reverse CPU boss and the client's behavior, immediately drew me in. On my second read, I still found the earlier parts very interesting, and the newly added paragraph comments made it even more enjoyable.
