Li Jing’s last transmigration mission was to be a substitute female lead and to endure the physical and emotional abuse from three male leads. She had to complete a miserable and impoverished storyline before retiring to enjoy her old age.
Fortunately, this time she had a special reward from the system:
“All monetary transactions made in your name, all payments made for you in this world, will be deposited into your real-world account in full! You can take this money with you to your retirement world after the mission is completed~ ”
Li Jing: Oh, got it. ^_^
So, when the cold and ruthless CEO threw money at her, insulting her as a fake—
Li Jing, with tears in her eyes: “Who wants your filthy money? If you have the guts, donate it in my name.”
“…” The CEO donated 10 million yuan in Li Jing’s name.
When the rich and handsome School Hunk made a malicious bet that he could win her over in three days—
Li Jing, with a choked voice: “You only bet a single Hermes bag on me? Is your family going bankrupt?”
“…” The School Hunk added ten exotic leather Hermes bags to Li Jing’s name.
When the most popular Acting Emperor forced her to expose herself online—
Li Jing, holding back her pride: “Alright, if you have the guts, make sure my name stays on the #1 trending search for three days.”
“…” The Acting Emperor spent millions on traffic for the #LiJing hashtag.
After completing the storyline, the three male leads were deeply entangled.
Male leads: We’ve never seen such a strong/brave/special woman…
Li Jing: Thanks. I’m making a fortune. ^_^
The Transmigration Bureau knew that a certain big boss was inspecting the performance of their top no. 1 performer. Those top-notch and excellent men were indeed kneeling at Li Jing’s feet, heartbroken and begging her to come back.
Then he stepped out of the crowd with an elegant stride.
“I’m richer than them,” the handsome god smiled, lowering his gaze. “Can I retire with you?”
-The male lead is the one mentioned in the synopsis. The original three male leads are the ones who get hurt.
-This is a light, sweet, and refreshing story.
This novel somewhat reminds me of 'Seeking Good Temptation,' sharing a similar plot about the FL capturing love interests to reach her goal, but with a darker tone and no ML presence. In this story, the FL aims to maximize affection from all targets to retire from the transmigration agency. She profits from transactions under her name, striving for a lavish seaside villa. The FL's cunning in maximizing wealth while evolving the plot is impressive.
The author does an excellent job of portraying each capture target with distinct personalities, echoing classic melodrama tropes. It's fantastic how the FL exploits their traits to her advantage. I thoroughly enjoyed the read!
However, I must admit that towards the end, the pacing seemed slightly rushed. Some anticipated scenes from the original narrative didn't unfold as described earlier. When their affection levels reached 70-80%, it didn't quite match the FL's earlier plans, leaving me slightly disappointed.
SPOILER ALERT:
Another point of interest is the similarity between the FL and White Moonlight's appearance. While they hint at a possible sister relationship, their backgrounds remain unexplored. I'd love to know more about how one became a renowned actress and the other an orphan. Additionally, the abrupt abandonment of White Moonlight by love interests didn't quite resonate with my expectations. It felt lukewarm in that regard. Despite this, I still adore the story.
Overall, 5 out of 5 stars! I absolutely adored the FL's sharp mind and her quirky obsession with money."
The story revolves around FL's astute navigation of manipulative plots and psychological warfare, deftly calling out the clichéd and unethical portrayals often seen in similar narratives. Despite its brevity, the narrative satisfaction is high, and the absence of excessive smartphone-based interactions keeps the focus on the main plot.
While the romantic aspect is present, it doesn't overshadow the slapstick action, which is the highlight. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, giving it a solid 5 out of 5 stars.
章节里夸张地描述了63次主角称呼老傅和年轻冯为肮脏的、邪恶的资本家，而她自己却像奴隶一样为男主卖力工作，这简直令人难以置信。她在穿越局工作多年，是顶尖员工，却只得到……零薪水。她有什么资格骂那些人是渣滓，明明自己是男主的‘奴隶’？她在最后一个世界，可能已经转世过十次、三十次，甚至七十万次，却从未得到一分钱报酬。而且，她还痴迷于男主的外貌，总是赞美他的手臂线条、英俊的面庞。他们仅有一面之缘，他就变得占有欲强，总想阻止她工作。
别忘了还有韭菜情节！所有人都被批评为韭菜，唯独男主例外，因为他是主角的‘特例’。想象一下，三万亿年里，最好的员工不拿一分报酬，她却自愿在辛苦挣来的别墅里免费抚养你长大。
The issue lies in the ML's underdeveloped nature. His one-dimensional personality often disrupted crucial moments, such as when he insisted on preventing the FL from minor mishaps, like pricking her finger, which seemed trivial. Even worse, he stopped time just to engage in unnecessary flirtation, disrupting the story's intensity and turning it into a repetitive annoyance. As I reached the middle of the book, I wasn't fully convinced by the romance.
Despite the engaging plotlines and fast-paced action, I believe the story would significantly benefit from removing the ML. The slap scenes were satisfying, and the plot variety was commendable, but his presence detracted from the overall experience.
As for the male lead, while he was well-developed, I do wish there were more interactions between them during her previous world-transmigrations. It would have added more depth to their relationship and made their connection more believable. Despite knowing each other, their initial meeting in the final world felt sudden.
The ending was satisfactory, with the three male characters getting their comeuppance. However, it left the story abruptly after the main character's "death," without delving into the aftermath or exploring how her passing affected them. It would have been intriguing to see the consequences, but given their peripheral roles, it's understandable that the author chose to prioritize wrapping up the main character's arc. The ending was abrupt, leaving me curious about the future of the protagonist and the male lead, like whether they pursued a romantic relationship or not, but alas, no such details were provided.
Overall, I believe the ending was fitting, even if it left some questions unanswered.
