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!

Hmmm... what to say... I kinda regret reading this novel. It was not my cup of tea. I've read much more disturbing and graphic novels, but something about this novel offputs me more than most of them. Before I go further however, I will say that this novel is pretty well written and if cold, hard revenge is a theme you like, give it a go.

In my opinion, this novel really lacks the lighter, warmer themes. The setting, the main cast, all the actions and motives, all of it is... more>> so cold and twisted. In fact, I think the thing that is most jarring is the MC. I understand. The male cast and the twin sister are disgusting and deserve what they got. It doesn't make it any more pleasant watching the MC break their minds over the course of the novel. She also has a really cold heart - she's pretty much enjoying turning people insane. There is literally not an instance where this MC is warm - she is lukewarm at best. This novel would have been much more palatable if she had a warmer side to her, just like some other novels that had much more disturbing and graphic aspects, but felt readable because there was at least some humanity in the MC.

All in all, it felt like I was reading a novel about monsters, if not psychopaths. It left a pretty foul aftertaste. It is definitely not my cup of tea. <<less

aaahhhhh! Read this one, it's really good 😍 The protagonist is simply my ideal, you-go-girl and femme fetale, character 😘 She have strong morals of her own without compromising her self-worth.

*spoilers ahead*

not really!! Hehehe

I couldn't help it so I read the MTL (which was okay, btw) as I got curious with the proposal event. From that point on the plot got more interesting with LL's route and the rest of the fishes. But what interest me most was CY and JF. All I can say is CY is the sweetest,... more>> most adorable, and sincerest guy (one day I hope to find) that JF has ever met in her life. :)) I swear you'll have toothache at the end of this novel. <<less

For a novel that has its focus on a revenge plot, this surely was fun to read. It's not the best but it does keep you invested while reading. Though I must say I'm not a big fan of how vaguely it sorta ended. Overall some characters even felt unnecessary. I think the biggest issue in the novel was the lack of detailing and weaving emotions in between the lines. You know something that could make the readers empathize and truly feel for the characters.#

it was really good for the... more>> most part. <<less

Really good every chapter keeps you up. I don't feel bored. The MC is it is down-to-earth and has a realistic view on things. All of the fishes on the side are easy to imagine as handsome men gullible and weak for a woman that they barely know.

Absolutely loved the MC and the ending. It is so rare to have an MC that don’t end up with a scummy lead, but more importantly most of the novel is not focused on the male lead, it’s solely focused on the MC and her mission. The ML and the romance line with him is a nice bonus.

Now, like some other reviewers said, some of the morals are a bit skewed and some of the retributions seemed a tad excessive but it didn’t take anything out of the novel for... more>> me. <<less

I like the premise of the plot. FL was really good in her game. I like how she handled all the "fishes"... her ways can be harshed and cold, but can't felt pity bc the s*um characters deserved it.

But the ending dissappointed me... it was super rushed and got so many plot holes. Many characters were wasted potential like He Shen, Zhao guy, etc.

The author even put an unnecessary romance in the last few chapters with her ML (even tho he's a dedicated cutie) was so rushed. Also...

Spoiler

The transition of FL going back to her world and the OG owner going back to her body was also frustrating... I can't believed how some characters were easily accepted it with barely confusion. Also (Shen Qi) God's identity was kinda unexplained.

Well let's see. First we have a female protagonist I'm usually a little less expectant about those kind of novels cause they are like you tortured me but I still love you. When I read the novel I was like damn I can't stop. The reason is that we have a not emotionless MC but with great control over the emotions because of her job in showbiz and the fact that she has a goal and she is ready to work for it slowly, so we don't have bullsh*t like... more>> winning jackpot stonegambling etc. Although the methods are a little unorthodox they are more believable than in other novels. I like how we don't have stereotypes like a woman must have a man for life while a man can have many women and the reason for her not seeking relationships is that she expects to leave this world and she needs time to make money. Those are some basic point I like and I don't know if you see other points worth mentioning but I have to say this is not a brainless novel that tries to follow or upkeep a trend. <<less

A decent read if you’re tired of the classic transmigration/romance formula and want something somewhat unique. The MC doesn’t fall for some shitty guy right from the start and she actually has agency. Can’t say it’s amazing, but it’s something.

Reached chapter 27 so far and just want to make a quick comment about how utterly unbelievable this plot is. Don’t get me wrong I’m not going to stop reading because MC is quite interesting but it’s just utter unbelievable! How can so many men be so hopelessly in love with one women to the point of hiring an actor to soothe their hearts? If you said one man in the story is like that I would say okay, there are people who fall deeply in love but more than... more>> that? Just how amazing of a woman is MC’s sister to have men falling down left and right?? I’ve been reading so far in utter disbelief. <<less

This was really good. I liked the MC. I questioned her morals a few times but she did not cross the line. The ML was rly cute. I thought this wouldnt have a romantic pairing but alas, the ML came through in the end. A nice read.

What I find lacking though was MC's motivation to go back. She mentioned that her friends, family, career etc was in the other world so she had to go back but when she did go back, we didnt hear about these things and ppl.... more>> It seemed like her status (the only aspect showb) in both worlds was equally good and she couldve stayed in either place.

Spoiler

though you would feel that the transmigrated MC was a bit favored by the world so she easily finished the task.

Having just finished the RAWs of this series, I have to say that I was really happy with how it played with what is a bloated CN transmigration genre. Simple considerations, such as what happens to the original after she returns to the body is satisfying given the groundwork laid by the empathising MC from another world. I also like how the male fishes have to deal with the ramifications of their behaviour, especially in light of how willing they were to be duped.

Yes, each of the fishes has issues.... more>> Whilst they have their looks and money, there is always something in their life that has led to them being quite nasty to the original Ji Fanyin. Whilst some of their problems is certainly sad, their treatment of the OG Ji Fanyin is bizarre and certainly fits into the CN soap opera cliches. However, we are soon treated to a major twist of sorts. (I won't spoil it for you.)

We are shown early that Ji Fanyin's twin, Xinxin, is a manipulative piece of work that was sick as a child. Fanyin's parents are also *ssholes that treated her like crap, focusing their affections on the white lotus Xinxin instead. Given the bullsh*t that she had to contend with, she became a meek figure that ended up clinging to one of her sister's fishes. She watches as another soul that cared enough about her circumstances to demolish the people that treated her badly and sets up a life for the original in the event that the return to the other world will enable little Fanyin to get her body back as well. The actress from another world turns out to be a better sister than her own flesh and blood.

Romance? This series may include the arc about Xinxin being a manipulative skank. However, it never ignores the agency in the willing ignorance and *ssholery of her fishes. That being said, my heart feels a lot more empathy for Bai Zhou. He is flawed, but he is a lot more likeable than the other fishes. I am not alone in my sadness for him either because he deeply desires a real family, one with a loving and loyal partner that he can reciprocate with. For those that are interested in the quality of the Hosted Novel translation, I found it solid as a rock as compared to the raws that frequently included pronoun issues and periodic grammatical problems. However, the latter was still able to be read. I will, however, reread the series via the Hosted Novel work of StarveCleric and Ru. <<less

It deserves 4 stars, but I just can't change the rating anymore.

I found this story quite interesting. Ji Fanyin's character particularly stood out to me—her strict principles regarding relationships & professionalism were admirable. She always delivered on her promises. It was satisfying to see the three "fishes" face the full extent of their karma.

The ending was unexpected but good, with the effort to change worlds just to be with her adding a beautiful touch.

MC is my type. Ruthless, relentless, straight savage while still being in complete control.

I was about halfway through the novel before I realized there was no Romance tag, but MC's antics were so entertaining to me, I had to know if she got back to her real life or not.

ML should be a god due to the amount of patience he possesses but he's a lil cutie and has proven that he deserves it all. He def leans toward the category of puppy MLs but not surprising since this type... more>> is commonly paired with the strong and dominant type of FMCs.

2nd ML, if he can even be deemed 2nd ML, plays a role that was a bit daunting once it was revealed. I think about him a lot when this novel comes to mind.

Spoiler

The youngest Fish, Bai Zhou, ugh. I grew a soft spot for the kid. There were times where I wanted MC to give him a chance, but that would totally go against her character and mission. He was just immature, naive, and unloved. I felt like he just got played by everyone around him. It was nice to see him show some growth towards the end, but his growth likely would not have happened without MC's brutal performance.

Plot: MC gets into an accident and is transmigrated to another world. In order to return to her original world, she needs 10 billion points. Her money and assets as well as other people's feelings towards her (negative or positive) add up to her total points.

It's an interesting concept.

I like the story up until the final showdown between MC and all her fishes. She goes for maximum damage, which somehow makes me feel bad for the 2 men she inflicted the most damage on.

Shen Qi was just a plot device. I feel bad for him. He tries hard to save MC at the cost of the other girl, and yet can't get the chance to confess his feelings for her?

[collapse]

Spoiler

I didn't enjoy the romance bits. I didn't like their dynamics because it felt like he didn't exist without her. In chapter 111, when ML did not say what he did after she left, but explained what happened to everyone else. For someone who had lived till the end of his life and has established a romantic relationship with MC, he is still insecure about her affections for him.

A fun and cute read! The ending was nothing big and flashy but it was satisfying. Very self-indulgent, there was no sense of struggle but that was part of the appeal. MC is cool and smoothly-sailed through. The s*umbags got their comeuppance and it was a happy ending. I liked how despite the premise and plot, the novel was not really focused on romance, specifically the MC's. There were s*umbags falling for her, but it was never about them. Female friendship and power was highlighted pretty well here too, it... more>> was refreshing.

Spoiler

Honestly thought He Shen was gonna play a bigger part and be the endgame love interest, but I was pleasantly surprised he wasn't. Still think he was hyped up alot for someone so unimportant.

Also Xinxin's fishery was implied to be HUGE but the didn't really show that. I honestly thought there was gonna be more stand-in clients. And wtf happened to Liam? Felt he was underutilized. I felt somewhat bad for Xinxin, obviously she made horrible choices but I blame their parents more than Xinxin. I wonder how she would have been without the dreams? I wouldn't have minded for her to settle down with an ordinary guy who loved her and lived simply.

The thing with Shao Qi was kinda weird. Like came out of nowhere and seemed kinda out of place. Like they could've done more with that. I also thought he was gonna be the endgame love interest, but again was pleasantly surprised it wasn't.

Our endgame boi CY could've been developed more. He was cute and nice but a little bland. I wanted to see how he originally reacted to MC's stand-in business. Even if he accepted it, it's a really odd thing to hear about. Like for MC it was the best choice and made sense with what she knew. But would have been fun to see CY trying to understand it. He was a little too perfect.

Zhang Yang's friendship with the MC was great. I knew it wouldn't happen but would've been cool if they got together instead. But their flirty relationship as friends was realistic and enjoyable.

I´m glad I read this one. Yi Fanyin is a breath of maturity and logic in a genre often filled with female leads with their brains filled with cotton sugar. She may seem ruthless and unlikable to several people but for older ladies like myself, she is a good reminder that being a sweet and lovely woman with only pure feelings can often land you in nothing but trouble, that to be in a proper relationship, be it friendship, family or romance, respect and balance is needed on all sides,... more>> not just to pour your heart out to people who do not have you in their hearts at all. I would summarize her approach in dealing with all the s*umbags in the story with that line from Taylor Swift:

"Boys only want love if it is torture"

To be really honest, I loved that she did dish out theirs without any qualms or regrets while racking the big $$ she needed to return to her own world.

Spoiler

And even better yet that the original Yi Fanyin got to enjoy all that $$ in the end and not only came back but had the oportunity to grow into herself instead of ending like the tragic and cowardly girl she was in the begining.

Okay so this rating made me hesitate. On one hand I can't point out anything I dislike here except, maybe the pacing was unsteady at times. And I love love Loooove Chen Yunsheng!!!? The story was more of an adventure than a romance. There is romance but I think it's very much as an flavor enhancer not a seasoning. I'm going with a 5 because Chen Yunsheng was the cutest damn golden retriever for the MC but for everyone else? Ice.

I really liked this novel.

I won't say the premise is the most unique or anything. There were some things that were left kind of open, but those were understandable. If anything, I feel like this novel ending where it did was more than appropriate. In general, it ended as a feel-good and satisfying read ^^.

I DIDN'T EXPECT TO LOVE IT THIS MUCH.

Our MC, Ji Fanyin is a ruthless woman. She's crafty, witty, manipulator... I love her. She deals with the sc*mbags without reserve.

And the ML, oh gosh, he made me feel as if I ate honey. Truly a darling. Though romance is not the focus, more like a bonus after reaching the end. Very satisfying.
