In her last life, she was an illegitimate child and her mother kept changing boyfriend like changing shoes. Later, she started to lose her belief in romantic relationship. She was also afraid marrying into a wealthy family because her mother once was rejected by her father's family because she was just ordinary people.

That's why she took a long time to consider her relationship with ML

We see her get an agent right away, which is fine. He's a great agent from a great company and follows up on an open thread from the first arc. The little boy she saved did in fact change a lot, and it's great seeing our FL get rewarded for good deeds. Even the stuff after that, with the gossip columns getting photos of her with this other guy, speculating about how she got into the upper echelons of the industry that quickly. It's realistic and fun. But then we get to her second variety show appearance.

Plainly said, I don't like this section. Yes, it's one small episode; she's only guest starring. But they could still have put more depth in, or explored a different part of her character. It feels like Lin Xi disappears here, we don't get any of her fun personality or see her face new scenarios. Just like the book itself said; the whole internet knows she isn't physically the fittest, nor is she in any way competent with directions. But this? This 'I'm so unbelievably lucky' bullsh*t is so uninteresting, forced and discrediting to watch.

Sure, a lot of this show is dependent on some lucky breaks, but for those I can suspend my disbelief. Her meeting Lu Libai's parents and Xiaobao are forgivable; this is a rich people island, you're gonna meet rich people. Her falling into the secret room with Libai, I can forgive that too; it gave us a great emotional moment between our two leads that felt unique and heartfelt.

But this specific section adds nothing new or interesting into the mix. It's just a load of Mary Sue moments of the main character being praised for their luck and quirkiness. She 'just so happens' to take all the wrong directions, and skip past the whole first level. She just so happens to have glucose strips to give to the NPC on the second level. She just so happens not to have run into any of the malicious NPCs in the arena. She gets tired after getting chased and gets intentionally arrested, but, how could this be? IT JUST SO HAPPENS that the place she gets arrested to is on the 6th level. IT JUST SO HAPPENS there are people who can help her. We only get her personality for one section while dealing with a false hostage NPC before once again, IT JUST SO HAPPENS she walks outside before the big reveal happens and her comrades get locked behind bars while she doesn't. IT JUST SO HAPPENS her other colleagues found the true hostage and brought them to this specific important courtyard. IT JUST SO HAPPENS she found a secret door that lead to the end. OH MY GOD WHAT A LUCKY GIRL, the whole directorial team and cast shout in unison, trying to rub against the FL for good luck!

This isn't funny. This isn't entertaining. This is a waste of my time. Recall what I said was the appeal of the story, for me at least. Did Lin Xi progress in any way? Not that I saw. Any fun interactions? Barely. Nothing from Weibo and no barrage comments either. No, this was just plain frustrating. What are we here for? What's the point if everything is handed to her on a golden platter? Sure, the majority of the book is already really in her favor, because she's a good person who doesn't seek trouble. But this? Feel-good and Mary Sue aren't the same f*cking thing, I can feel the hand of the author smudging their dirty unwashed fingers all over my face. The author is fully capable of writing well, but this section, this specific set of chapters really boiled me.
