I loved the review by Katra1212 and I strongly agree with. The author is extremely eloquent and is very well-thought-out in her craft. The choice of having it to be a smut novel is one that is extremely interesting and well-woven into using both the smut that she describes between the person/people that Yin Shuang Shuang does the deed with and herself.At times, you see how the aftermath of the sensual act between YSS and the male character causes them to fall deeper, other times, you see how it causes YSS to feel something deeper which she knows she shouldn't or even for the men themselves. They realise how deep they fall for her/captivated by her charms despite the intrinsic rules of their society. Spoiler
(You can fornicate with many and enjoy endless pleasure all for the sake of the chances of increasing pregnancy rates, but you can never never fall in love with another. This is also an even more deeply set rule in the entertainment circle and one that YSS dislikes since she comes from a world of monogamy and love like ours; this also builds up the subtle plot in which she wants to become the exception to that rule at the top echelon of society. So she'll call the shots and not get punished for this since those in the entertainment industry are supposed to exemplify the values in which the society/government requires.)
[collapse]Basically, go into this novel looking for smut, go for it. Stay for the plot and the slow-rending changes the YSS causes in a butterfly effect on her partners and the world around her. I've stopped reading the RAWs till chapter 270? But it has been an utterly gripping tale despite the many, innumerable chapters of s*x in her work and her (lesser in variety) life.You soon realise how much the characters shine beyond the smut when they get better developed down the line, in between those shallow-like character tropes we usually see or the exciting scenes that happen in the chapters, the little touches to them, just like the author's writing, glimmers through.I've been so glad that I finally picked this up and I've regretted not picking this up earlier~ I almost wished that there would be a pairing, in the end~ I've got a soft spot for Yan Lie, her president or Du Sheng, the heart-throb actor and I'm rooting for either of these softies~
