Ji Fanyin realized the moment she transmigrated over that she was a stand-in, a substitute for her younger twin sister, Ji Xinxin.

“Sure, I can be her stand-in. Here is my list of prices. Take a look at it first, and make sure to reserve a slot in advance. I won’t accept any last-minute calls, and do take note that it’ll only be a platonic relationship. Thank you for your cooperation,” she said.

In a western restaurant, a rich young master looked at her with eyes filled with affection as he said, “Xinxin, I would like to ask you out for a movie tomorrow night…”

An alarm suddenly went off.

Ji Fanyin took a glance at her phone before reining in her business smile, saying, “Time’s up. I need to rush for my next appointment. Make sure to foot the tab, and farewell.”

The rich young master’s smile froze up. “I’ll reserve four hours for tomorrow’s movie.”

In the middle of the night, a drunk, tyrannical young master dialed her number and whined, “Big sis, when will you come over to meet me?”

“In order to ensure the quality of service, this call will be recorded. It’s four in the morning right now, and my services will be ten times the usual price. Are you certain you want to proceed?” asked Ji Fanyin.

“… Hurry up and start acting!”

Ji Fanyin’s phone suddenly rang in the midst of a date with a domineering CEO at Tokyo’s tower. With a smile on her lips, she rejected the call and said, “Sorry, it’s another customer.”

“… I’ll pay you ten times the price. Switch off your phone.”

By the time Ji Xinxin finally returned back to the country, Ji Fanyin successfully retired from the scenes with the massive fortune she had amassed.

Heh, bad women will never get hurt!

I want to give this 5 stars but I feel as though I was misinformed about this novel before I started reading it. It is not a romance novel really, it is more of a manipulation x psychological warfare novel that has aspects of romance sprinkled in and sometimes irresponsibly shoved in.

I don’t however think that the novel is bad. It is actually quite a good novel and the writing quality is better than most of my previous reads. Here are a few things I liked and disliked about the... more>> novel:

Spoiler

Firstly, the female MC is a truly dominant woman who is both prideful and has the abilities and intelligence to back her pride. She is always in control. This is a refreshing take on the dominant female MC concept but I feel as though it was slightly overdone because the MC was simply never in any danger of loss or taking a blow. It felt like the MC existed purely to succeed, there was no struggle, no hard work really, she simply powered through all obstacles like they were cotton candy. However, as a face-slapping novel this MC simply provides food for the starving and drink for the parched. It is satisfying to see the “bad” get what they deserve.

Secondly, and this is a dislike, the MC is just a much stronger version of the antagonist. In fact the antagonist learns her tricks from the MC in the first place through dreams. The MC is more or less on the same moral standing as the antagonist and it feels less satisfying to support her. Where the antagonist manipulates those around here to gain affection, the MC manipulates those around her to gain enough money to return to her world. This would place the MC at the moral high ground except for a few points, firstly, it is made clear that the MC is more than talented enough to earn money from other avenues just as fast if not faster. Secondly, the MC is not manipulating those people out of necessity as it is made known to the readers that the MC also did much of the same thing as the antagonist back in her original world. Thirdly, the MC leans too far into the money grabber role and her emotionless actions when acting in her monetary interest severely disconnect the novel from the romance genre. Quite literally, the novel could have been just as successful if romance was entirely removed and instead all the love targets became business targets instead.

Thirdly, the ending of the novel is a little out of sorts for me and feels shaky. Not particularly satisfying and the logic of the novel drops a little in what feels like a mismatched lid forcefully screwed onto the incorrectly threaded bottle.

All of that aside, I still enjoyed the book when I started to consider it as a simple face-slapping/psych manipulation novel. Though it did not scratch the romance itch that I had chosen to read this novel for, it still has decent standing in my mind.

A very interesting story on several levels with a rather unique take on transmigration and a totally bad-ass female MC. One of the best FLs there are.

The first two thirds, up to the engagement story arc, around chapter 85 are very good. Exactly how great stories should be. Unfortunately, the engagement story arc is very weird. The explanation is lacking and it's not really clear what really happens in the protagonists' minds. Everything is only hinted at and mostly it's only said that the characters know themselves what is meant,... more>> only we readers are pretty much left in the dark. Also, the resolution of the main world arc as well as the ending are rather bland in comparison to the high octane first two thirds.

All in all, the story is still very fresh and very much worth reading. <<less

Somewhere between a 3 and 4 giving it a 4 out of generosity.

Things you can like about this novel sorry have to put this in a spoiler.

... more>>
Spoiler

The original actually gets a comeuppance and gets to enjoy life.

The sister fight is interesting if a bit beyond belief.

[collapse]

The writing is also very good and readable.

What kills this novel. Well first off the premise. I just didn't buy into the idea that the fish would pay 100k/hr for her to act as a stand in. They were in love with a particular woman and part of the image of that woman was purity i.e. Not having a slot for a credit card. Minor spoiler.
Spoiler

I also never bought into the twin sister being able to completely despoil the other's life. The Original excelled in academics and scholarly pursuits. The evil sister and her fishes would have certainly depressed her but also focused even more so on where she could win. The parents were also way over the top.

[collapse]

The biggest problem though was the novel was tedious. It felt like a death march to get to the end. There was so much filler and padding, I just wanted to get past it. There also wasn't enough of the good points to sustain the novel.

Bottom Line: I'd look for something better. <<less

Great novel.

I don’t usually read modern ones but this one was well thought out and engaging. The plot is nicely structured. Some of the points that were left ambiguous have eventually been resolved in a satisfying way, so I have high hopes for the rest.

MC takes over a woman in a similar modern world and gets access to the old memories and some years of “future” memories that drive the original to death has to earn money or strong emotion to get back

the MC is very logical, and unlike most... more>> transmigration novels she doesn’t care at all about this new world. She’s happy in her old one and just works to getting back. She’ll enjoy things as she goes but doesn’t feel any particular feelings for the original bodies ties. It helps that everyone involved is pretty much garbage that drove the original to death for reasons ranging from apathy to active hate.

People complain about the ending but that hasn’t been translated yet, so I am taking it with a grain of salt. Everything StarveCleric has translated so far has been great. <<less

Top tier. Unique MC who slowly steals the hearts of all the s*um that ab*sed and neglected the original owner of her body. She's aloof and above all of them. With her temperament, it's only natural that these emotionally stunted kids fall in love with such a goddess. AND she messes with them sooooo smoothly. All the dog-blooded drama plots can get stuffed as long as our Fanyin is around.

Our FL also has great relationships outside of her stand-in clients that are really a joy to read. Not many, mind,... more>> but they exist. <<less

Overall it's a pretty satisfying read. Thank you, author and translator team who brought this novel to me. Satisfied with ML even though we didn't see much of romance. The scums got what they deserve and more I guess. The part about the old MC also was nicely done. Loved it!

MTL this from chapter 6 until the end. Easy to understand and the story is very enjoyable. I can say that the s*um characters eventually received their dues. There are some twists too ... more>>
Spoiler

1. Yes I'm talking about you Mr. Old friend/Mr. Programmer/Mr. Deity-in-disguise

2. OG-Ji Fanyin is very cute after returning to her body. Yes, she is not dead after our MC Ji Fanyin finished her mission in that other world. Glad she managed to continue her dream to study

3. Our MC-Ji Fanyin ended up with the ML who is really good to her and adores her (usually this kind of character is the second male lead and to be honest, I really didn't expect it much at the beginning but whoaa good job Author for restoring my faith in HEA for a nice male character! Lol)

4. Etc., etc..

This story also has few loose ends but overall it's a pretty satisfying read. Thank you, author and translator team who brought this novel to me~! <<less

The MC actually has a concrete goal that she works towards and is always on the grind for that cash lmao.

She has her standards though, in regards to being a stand in and never stoops down below them. Her clients (who were all scums to the og body) aren’t the ML and all get their emotional comeuppance in some way. I’m very happy the author didn’t decide to have the MC get together with them.

The MC reaches her goal and returned at the end!! Which is wonderful and good for her 😌. And also the original host of the body she was in also got to return to her body! Free of s*um men and family and now with a fortune lol.

Very worthwhile read. Loved the female lead, the pacing, storyline and overall plot. The female lead remains strong until the very end, she doesn’t waver in her feelings for any of the guys (understandable). ML is also very cute, even though initially I thought she would’ve ended up alone, the ML is someone I don’t think anyone can hate.

Loved the story but would not reread since the scenes are a bit repetitive. However, considering it’s only 111 chapters (🤔) it doesn’t get TOO boring. Read if you’re bored and want... more>> to find a strong FL <3 <<less

Really satisfying, I don't really like it when transmigration novels reveal that the transmigrator and the character was actually the same person in the end; and I'm glad this story did not do that.

It was really enjoyable to read how everyone got served their desserts, and lots the "original" Ji Fanyi got the life she deserved after the help of Fanyi (how she was "meant to die" was really tragic).

The punishment that all the people she got "revenge" on is really suited towards them, and not one in y opinion... more>> eye the punishment did not for the crime. <<less

I love how cruel our MC is. I love how she didn't get swayed by other people's feelings, she stuck to her goal: earn money and go home. She is manipulative and clever. Other readers didn't seem to like the ML but I find him cute and I like how he immediately could tell the twins apart, his loyalty, his understanding and acceptance of MC's personality. There weren't enough fluffy scenes with the couple but I didn't mind, I enjoyed the plot a lot.

Cold, scheming FL forced to romantically manipulate men who are using her for their own purposes. I enjoy the scheming, jaded main character who knows what she is doing and does it well as a job. She doesn't get lost in her emotions and does what she knows she can do, treating people with the same amount of respect as they do her.

I love a novel where the FL does what she does well (working hard and being professional the whole way through) and works hard despite the harsh conditions... more>> given to her. <<less

I came into this novel quite skeptical. It seemed really generic and boring, but I was pleasantly surprised. It had a fair amount of clichès, but I found myself genuinely caring about the characters. All of the characters. The translation was phenomenal, the plot was a satisfying revenge story and the ending was beautiful. This novel actually made me cry several times... And therefore it holds a special place in my heart. My only warning: There is VERY little real romance in the story.

I found myself in a story rut and this was the refreshing palette cleanser I needed. Although you had familiar character tropes, this story had a unique main character whose goal is ultimately to return to her body. I enjoyed this even if the MC was a bit overpowered. A lot of transmigration stories have the MC falling in love with the characters that originally hurt the og body so this was a fun dose of revenge. I also appreciated the author's switching of perspectives to other key characters to... more>> show their own motivation and emotional torment.

Like other reviewers, I do wish Xinxin could have put up a better fight considering how big her fishery was. And I wish they had elaborated on Shen Qi's story. But overall, I'm happy with the story and it's ending. I also am going to check out the author's others works (if any).

The translation was also pretty good too. Thank you, translators! <<less

Easy read - 5 stars for moral ethics & thorough & realistic & interesting plot / no plot holes

No brainless canon fodder, interesting 3-d side characters - satisfying karma - the s*umbag characters improving in character and suffering from karma but not too much - the retribution they face is of similar level- the consequences of their actions - not like other CN where they just kill all opposition for daring to go against, apathetic to humans life & suffering - so it is in line with my ethics -... more>> it makes sense - not overly excessive

not much dod blood drama- parents are rightly held responsible - the author makes it clear the responsibily also lies with the parents - Host's fam & Bai's fam as well. People can improve - you are not obligated to accept an apology - be satisfied with your life

Rom not main focus - ML is very cute - respecting Mc's decision & never forcing his feelings - interesting personality - my type

Love the friendships - but nothing to heart wretching - a few tears hear and there - HE for both worlds very happy - MC has very clear moral standards and self respect and cause there's no rainbow farting everywhere she doesn't seem that op.

Very interesting System Task - spiritually satisfying - good ending no plot holes - feel no loss after done <<less

Not much romance in the novel (and mostly towards the end after the FL done with her mission).

The FL is smart and she uses her understanding of the other characters to complete her mission.

The author built the story nicely. There is no part that seems forced or too abrupt. Overall, it’s a good read.

This is quite a simple story with overall psychological talk in it.

The characters might not be perfect and fulfilling but still categorized as a living one. Although the last scene kinda dumb me out but the whole overall plot is nice and in sense.

... more>>
Spoiler

i love how there is two major goal in the story, which is getting fulfilled in a quite decent and normal way. First is how the MC got the money to get back to her real world (I'm not gonna asking why it has to be nominated, but well that's also quite interesting too). The second is how the MC able to get a revenge for the original body.

[collapse]

The main character are a well grounded and we'll shaped character, that don't need any sympathy or worry from the reader at all. Although I felt very comfortable to read her journey as there is not many bad scene that seemly happen to her but it also cause the less empathy coming from me as a reader towards her character. On the other case, the last bit of the original body was actually intrigued me to read further on the lastest part.

Spoiler

the redemption part is quite bloody in my opinion. She might not kill them with the weapon, but she did terrorize them emotionally. MC understand perfectly how human emotion works and make them suffer the way they make the original body suffer emotionally. Makes me kidna felt complicated on the ending. At the same time even if I felt satisfied they got the retribution but it's also too traumatizing to watch. The sad part is overall the main culprit aside from the twin sister it's actually the parents who had a big hand on makes the original body suffer, yet compared to the other boys they suffer the lightest both emotionally or physically. Though they had their ego and wish crashed but they can still life normally.

[collapse]

Spoiler

now the ML, I might or might not feel satisfied over this but after all the romance has never been on the priority in the story. Even more that God stuff loving a human and make their fate diverge and stuff, nah that's was that dumbstruck part lol. CY as an ML is quite nice too, like how his personality is actually quite compatible for the not so believed in love of MC. Instead of some overbearing powerful people, he actually could make much more cute couple with the MC.

[collapse]

The last is a little words for my favorite characters BZ

Spoiler

his character are the most annoying one out of them all. But also the most growing one. The author gives us a clear scene on how his environment affecting his personality so much, but later gives us a snitch on how he realized his lacking. There is a moment where I kinda wish him to be with the original body, until that last moment when he realized that the og body back and he just walk away instead of apologizing to the right person. I meant, I'm half and half sure that at this point he realized that both of the JF was different in personality. And the biggest reason he apologize before was because he loves the other JF not because he genuinely felt bad for his actions back then. So when og JF told him that the JF he loves has gone he just left dejectedly. Well this arrogant and ignorant personality is still hasn't being washed away it seems. There is also kinda part where I wish I could see og FY with SY after she comeback but I guess their last encounter was that last finger scene.
