Name: Chinese Showbiz: I'm Reborn, So Why Would I Still Go to Grad School?
Author: Agarwood Fatty Beef

Synopsis

Also known as: “Who Says You Don't Need a Degree to Make It in Showbiz?” and “What's Wrong with Me Dating These Rising Stars?”

Lin Ke is reborn in his sophomore year of college. Looking at the graduate-school exam prep materials in his hands, he remembers his miserable former life as an “academic workhorse” and finally gets it:

“Whoever wants to go to grad school can go! The hardships of showbiz are what I should be putting myself through!”

During a special period when everyone is staying home to exercise, his scholar aura helps his Baduanjin livestream go viral. He signs with an agency, appears on variety shows, joins Chinese Restaurant… But why does his body feel a little different when he practices Baduanjin?

His control over his body is practically a cheat-level ability, even extending to his vocal cords. And so, in the depths of winter, an artist with a bug-level talent bursts onto the Chinese entertainment scene!

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.

Entertainment Industry Stories, Mostly with Actresses Born in the ’90s

If you cannot find suitable short, sweet novels or the latest Chinese entertainment-industry novels, come in and take a look. I do not recommend novels that started in the 1990s or 2000s. They are too far removed from the present, and I have grown tired of older novels, entering an aesthetic burnout. Take a look at the latest female-led novels and keep up with new developments in the Chinese entertainment industry.

95-Favorite Books

This is entirely subjective. If you like Liu or the post-1985 actresses, head on over to another list. The quality of Xiaohua stories on Qidian is all over the place. Some are classic works by veteran authors in the conquest-everyone style, while others are reformist works by new authors. Either way, you have to be cautious with Xiaohua stories. You never know when they'll get dropped. From what I've seen, Tian and Liu are the most popular. If you want to make a splash, you need one of those two
