When Jiang Fanxing was eight years old, he saw handsome men and beautiful women in legal dramas traveling around the world and dating, while also being able to uphold justice. He believed that his handsome and lovely self was born a lawyer!

He applied for a law major in university and became the most beautiful star in the law school, firmly believing that he was the one who aimed to enhance the beauty of the legal profession.

Until he saw the previous senior student who was the school prince returned to the school for communication, Jiang Fanxing was frightened by the fact that he had grown bald and greasy in just two years.

What was the best job to live up to your beauty and make a lot of money? The highly favoured answer was “being a star”.

Jiang Fanxing was very obedient to advice.

The first step when becoming a celebrity was to play a small role.

Work hard, you’ll earn enough money to retire in ten years after using your beauty!

Jiang Fanxing, who claimed to be the strongest newcomer, had a beautiful mental state and bravely became himself when faced with questions from various journalists.

“Of course, entering the entertainment industry is for my dream, my dream is to get rich.”

“Colleagues at work are all s*upid, but at least colleagues in this industry are good-looking.”

“My biggest difficulty in entering the industry is going on a diet to lose weight.”

“Destroy that thought, I won’t have a day off for the next three months.”

“I hope the anti fans don’t hesitate. The legal team is ready.”

“My birthday gift would be to stay at home instead of work.”

“My wish is world peace.”

It’s a good one. More focus on the professional side than the love. Slow burn on the love but still satisfying in my opinion.

Something I actually really liked about this one is that they age, like the story starts when my is around 23 or 22 and he and everyone grows older as times goes one. Instead of shooting big scale movies and series in 2 months and less as is usual in this type of stories, it takes time and the author acknowledges it. It’s not instantly but his... more>> fame grows throughout the years, step by step.

it’s an easy read without too much trouble. Lack of cannonfodders that return but instead there’s humans that have their own good and worse side. Maybe a bit of slice of life?

in regards to the other comment on reading the last chapter and wondering if time turn back, no. It’s just extras on a glimpse if MC had signed with another company and decided to quit the entertainment industry and go back to being a lawyer. <<less

This novel is extremely career focused, you have to squint for the romance. The plot mainly revolves around the lawyer-turned-actor MC's journey to stardom.

The author very obviously knows what they are writing. It's rare to see so much industry details and thought placed into an entertainment industry novel. Most of these novel tends to focus on the poweress of the MC making everyone else seem one-dimensional, but this really focused on the overall relationships and growth of the MC. Not all villains stay villain, and turnovers are not exaggerated. Everyone... more>> felt very humane and had individual motives.

The MC himself is a little unserious but you can't help appreciating his kind of character. I can name a few chinese actors/idols in my head whom he might've been referenced from, and that's the amazing thing about this novel-I can relate to the characters and even connect real human stars with them.

As for the ML, I had the shock of my life when I found out

it was Boss Shen afterall. The entire time I thought he was a balding overworked middle-aged man. Even though he was voted as the most handsome guy in the department, his competitiors were other middle-age men! After calming down I realised it made sense because him and Xiao Zhou are literally the only two who appears every other chapters as MC's assistant. It was quite soothing to see their relationship develops from fighting over power dynamics to friends, to close partners and lovers. The romance isn't a huge part of the story so honestly I didn't see this coming at all.

This is one danmei novel which I thought would've been fine even if the romance ended up as a NP (no pair). It's bittersweet to finish it, but I really enjoyed accompanying the MC on his road to stardom. <<less
