Liu Yifei, Xixi, the Celestial Beauty, An Feng [Only One Heroine]
Only collecting stories with one female lead, where she's as beautiful as a celestial maiden. Some of these are old enough that I've forgotten the details, but they're all worth reading. These are all books I was able to keep following. This is just my personal taste, so please don't flame me. Rating system: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty good, worth a read ⭐⭐⭐ Worth reading when you're out of books ⭐⭐ Fine if you don't think too hard, just read for fun ⭐ Gross, frustrating, or impossible
Novels with Yifei as the Female Lead
Recommendations for novels with Qianqian as the female lead, both finished and currently reading
Novels with Liu Yifei as the Sole Female Lead
Completed
Xixi: One Female Lead
These are books I personally like. I'm not great at describing them, so whether you'll enjoy them is up to you. I don't read books I dislike, so no matter how well they're written, I won't recommend them!

Since the lead actor has already been banned from directing for five years, what's the point of staying in China? Is it really necessary? If you want to embarrass yourself, why not just go to Hollywood and make a film there? To be honest, the domestic film market before 2008 wasn't doing well; very few films made money, and it was better to make TV dramas.
Female lead issue
Honestly, let's replace her with Liu Shishi. Fair-skinned, beautiful, good at dancing, and flexible in body The key point is that she is absolutely the number one love-obsessed person in the Chinese entertainment industry. A normal woman wouldn't marry a man 17 years her senior when she's only 27 or 28 and at the peak of her career.
Where's the protagonist's cheat ability? The protagonist was a famous screenwriter in his previous life, not a director. How did he manage to make a movie? I mostly read novels with cheat abilities because without them, I simply can't read them.
The author knows absolutely nothing about body constitution.
The idea of banning directors is simply impossible. All awards within the system have explicit regulations. If they refuse to receive an award, they can be banned from directing for five years. Then their disciples and grand-disciples would be banned from directing for life. This is because many directors were making underground films in that era.
I can't watch it anymore. It keeps thinking about banned films, and then it just keeps getting worse. It's so painful to watch! Banning a film means they don't want you anymore, so what are you still trying to lick?
I'm here to complain again. Avatar only reached nearly 1.8 Billion in box office revenue because of two subsequent re-releases. You're saying it's already 1.8 Billion after 10 years? That's so naive.
I initially thought it was well-written... But I gave up after seeing that the female lead was Liu Yifei.
Skipping through to chapter 77, she's young, healthy, rich, powerful, and has no needs, yet chooses to become a eunuch. Tsk, is this what they call a single-female-lead Chinese novel? She's in the entertainment industry and still has a double standard—it defies logic and humanity.
I have to complain about the author again. The protagonist thinks a movie is great when it's bad and you can get a refund. It's completely impractical; anyone with even a shred of intelligence wouldn't find it so appealing.
See Chapter 18
This is clearly wrong. A film festival refusal to accept an award results in a director being banned? If Feng Xiaogang had just openly criticized someone, he would have been executed. The story's direction is too abrupt. Put some effort into it.
