Chinese Entertainment: Young Actresses
All the little flower novels are here. Readers are welcome to fill in any missing ones. I'll add more over time, since there's a daily limit on how many books I can add to a list. Come back in a while and browse. I'll write a few thoughts about the ones I've read, and rank them from awesome to awful: Awesome, top-tier, above the rest, NPC, absolutely awful. You're welcome to leave your thoughts too. Thanks!
Chinese Entertainment Fiction About Post-95 Actresses
I like Chinese entertainment-industry novels, but I'm tired of seeing so many older actresses, especially those represented by the Eighty-Five Flowers. This list is for books about younger actresses. There are still too few novels about the Ninety-Five Flowers. The list is capped at 50 books, and once it's full, I'll gradually remove the ones with terrible prose or plots. For now, I need to fill it up so it can be featured in the book-list plaza.
Some Decent Chinese Entertainment Industry Novels
I haven't read any Chinese entertainment-industry stories in a long time, so I'm making a list to keep track.

It's so frustrating!! Seeing the protagonist actually want to sell Meng Ziyi's financial contract for the role of Zuo Er...? Is it worth it??? No!!! Absolutely not!!! It's just Zuo Er!! What an idiot!
I stopped reading after chapter 49. What was the protagonist thinking? I'm just an employee at a real estate company. What kind of person can someone in real estate be? Go look at the construction workers hauling earth, let alone developers. Even if the protagonist hurts the other party, they can just pay 100,000 or 200,000 to buy back your leg. And you're not some big-name director. Unbelievable.
Speechless
Even though Liu Yifei wasn't tagged at all, after subscribing to just a few dozen copies, I started seeing her as the female lead in "The Story of Minglan" and "You Are My Glory." Honestly, with Liu Yifei's acting skills, it's no wonder she couldn't have handled those roles well.
The protagonist has a system and is reborn. He's like a spineless coward... Who the hell reads Chinese entertainment novels without wanting a satisfying, action-packed story? Someone with brains is supposed to be able to argue with everyone and everything... What kind of story is this, author?!
The first thirty chapters were well-written, but the rest was truly indescribable, a complete mess. I don't even know what to say about you. You're always raising other people's children. I'm speechless 😅. I just can't understand the author's thought process.
The system punished the audience by forcibly feeding them excrement.

The aesthetics are good, but the plot is terrible.
The actresses they chose were all alright; they lured me in. But the author is problematic; the plot is extremely cruel to the protagonist. This book is addictive; proceed with caution.
So that's what they wrote – such a stupid plot, gone forever!
Disgusting
I've read almost 300 chapters, and I couldn't stand it anymore at 41%. It's disgusting, especially with Chen Duling. It was originally just a transaction of interests, but they insisted on writing about genuine feelings, and then there's the whole "meeting the parents" thing! The parents aren't even portrayed as biological parents, and they're incredibly unhelpful to the protagonist's career.
If you're interested in Meng Ziyi, you don't need to read this.
The author is toxic. Other comments have already covered the toxicity of the Li Yitong segment, so I won't go into detail. As for the Meng Ziyi segment, the author clearly facilitated Meng Ziyi's signing with Enlight Media to get her the lead role in *Left Ear*, but then wrote that Meng Ziyi looked down on him and refused to sign with the male lead.
