This one so far is pure fluff but I really enjoy it, mainly for Cheng Qing. She's a mature and admirable character like you might expect from someone who has already lived a fulfilling life previous to transmigrating. She doesn't want to slap faces, she doesn't want to be the very best (she's already achieved that in her past life), she literally just wants to make one girl happy and keep her out of trouble. I fully understand why Luo Xi is simping for her on day one, Cheng Qing is pretty dreamy. She's basically Luo Xi's fairytale knight in shining armor.Luo Xi feels a tiny bit inconsistent as a character but overall is your quintessential misunderstood villainess. She's spoiled, a little easily riled up, is perceived as being harsher than she really is. Luo Xi is a VERY jealous type, the slightest hint of QingQing paying attention to anyone other than her burns her up. She's a little childish for my taste but it's fun seeing her acting like a clingy puppy to Cheng Qing.Strong points: The translation quality is quite good with only minor errors. As previously mentioned, if you like fluff, this is likely up your alley. At least where I am in the story. All of the characters, including the side characters are pretty cute. Even the characters set up as rivals don't seem like irredeemable villains, they're just petty. OgFL seems like she could become a villain but honestly, she doesn't seem too bad. Her current issues with Luo Xi just seem like petty drama that have no reason to escalate (fingers crossed lmao). Most of the celebrities are kind of pampered and naive so it's cute watching them follow Cheng Qing around like she's a mother duck. At times this novel feels similar to a childcare novel.Weak points: The development is extremely fast from Cheng Qing entering the variety show as basically an NPC guest to the CP between her and Luo Xi exploding to such popularity that at one point we're told it's the highest CP in the entertainment circle on that day and others working on the show are shipping them. That fast? It seems disproportionate to the actual scenes we've read that all of the internet is apparently going wild for these two. And what about OgML and OgFL? Aren't these two supposed to be getting together? Wouldn't the producers and directors also be putting a lot of their focus on their CP?
