Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

After the car accident, Gu Qingtong regained her memories and realized that she was a supporting female character in a tragic romance novel.

The male protagonist, her fiancé in a marriage alliance, saw the female lead as a pure and innocent beauty. Despite his dislike for Gu Qingtong, he still agreed to marry her for the sake of benefits. Fearing that she would be dragged into the complicated relationship between the male and female leads, with him chasing after her and her trying to escape, Gu Qingtong swiftly ran away.

At that moment, the sister of her former fiancé, a famous actress named Yan Chi, inexplicably proposed a marriage alliance with Gu Qingtong. In the original novel, Yan Chi was a beautiful and aloof woman who remained indifferent to everyone. Clearly, both of them were driven by family interests and would not interfere with each other, making them the perfect couple for a mutually beneficial marriage.

After their secret marriage, Gu Qingtong, who used to be an obscure actress, became self-aware and rarely displayed her shrewd nature. She assured Yan Chi repeatedly, “I understand my place. We each take what we need, and I will never disturb your life or affect your career.” Yan Chi’s gaze swept over her and finally stopped on the mole at the corner of Gu Qingtong’s eye. She responded with her usual cold and distant tone.

What Gu Qingtong didn’t know was that Yan Chi had dreamt countless times about those eyes, with teardrops falling on that mole, vivid and seductive. All the coincidences were meticulously orchestrated by someone with ulterior motives.

❖❖❖

The news of the top actress and an unknown actor starring as a celebrity couple on a popular love variety show hit the top trending searches. Fans and netizens angrily criticized Gu Qingtong, accusing her of using Yan Chi for publicity. After the show aired, it became apparent that the couple was forcibly paired by the production team. Due to Gu Qingtong’s deliberate distance from Yan Chi, their couple name became a joke among the viewers, known as “Silent Gaze.”

While other couples were actively showing affection, fans of the “Silent Gaze” couple could only witness their beautiful and intimate interactions in edited videos by talented fans.

It was only after a certain recording session ended that the production team arranged a hidden camera live broadcast in the backstage resting area. All the viewers saw Gu Qingtong’s eyes turn red the moment she saw Yan Chi and pointed at her waist, full of grievances, saying, “I told you we had to record today! My waist has been aching all day…”

Yan Chi, being familiar with her needs, comforted her delicate partner, saying, “It’s my fault. I won’t act in fanfiction next time.”

The entire online audience was buzzing with excitement: “Tell us more, what fanfiction? Can I watch it for free?!”

I read this novel completely with MTL, and although I understood ~70%, I'm very happy to have a correct translation to read it again, so thank you very much KnoxT !

Without spoiling too much, this novel is a must read if you like bottom and cute puppy MC, kinky top dominant possessive FL, and entertainment industry !

Our MC Gu Qingtong is pitiful in the beginning, being such a cute and pure person but being set up by bad people trying to paint her as a bad person ;; And she's... more>> even more pitiful since she's reborn

Spoiler

because in her last life, she was controlled by the book and was aware of it, she didn't want to go to s*um ML but had no choice to ; tho in the current timeline she only remembers the og story, not the fact that she was controlled and knew it

[collapse]

Luckily, she crosses path with FL, ah, I love her so much ! She's cold outside hot inside, she doesn't give a f about anyone but our MC, and she's VERY kinky, honestly if the author didn't have to censor her novel... she's a complete top, and her only goal in life is to make MC happy 🥹 like literally, she said so, Yan Chi lives solely for Qingtong's smile

We have some chapters of MC's last life and truly I shed some tears

Spoiler

Basically, Yan Chi was a villain and the author never wrote her background, so she was able to act out of the novel story, and was the only person who could do so ; she viewed the whole world as black and white, but she fell in love with MC since she gave colors to her world, and tried everything she could to free her from the novel's rules. We learn that MC also fell in love with her, but everytime they get too intimate the book will try to make her kill FL, which is just devastating for the both of them... I won't spoil to much even inside the spoiler, because the conclusion of their previous life is TOO BEAUTIFUL to spoil. But what is sad is that MC only remembers the her in the original book, not her in the book modified by Yan Chi, who remembers both timelines... 😭 and so decided to in this timeline she'll do everything to make her happy... only to bully her to tears in bed hehe

[collapse]

I recommend this novel strongly, it's slow and a big angsty sometimes, mostly sugar and spice, some moments you'll go « awww » at how precious MC is 🥰 and « ah ah ah » at how kinky and dominant FL is 😏

Read it please !!! 🙏🏻 <<less

Finally created a novelupdates account just to rate and review this story: the number of 1-star ratings is baffling.

The translation is good, the story is decent, the lead is cute, the FL is outwardly-cool but very much enamored by the lead, and the plot is interesting enough.

It's currently fourth in my personal ranking of 'Yuri between two actresses' novels on this site, behind My Feelings Can Wait, Jiao Huan Ying Hou, and Outrageous—and all of those have a stronger flavor of supernatural. This novel is primarily mostly-plausible modern-day showbiz... more>> shenanigans with half-remembered past novel-controlled life, and it's fun.

Thank you for the translation, Starrymoon and KnoxT!

edit: the five 1-star ratings disappeared. Yay!

edit2: to elaborate, the FL is pushy but the lead guards her heart with a combination of self-deprecation and willful ignorance? Something. Their s*x life can be a bit uncomfy if taken seriously, but I just find it funny.

edit3: between ch38 to 50, I fully forgot the supernatural element 😅 <<less

I've read quite a lot of good and not that good baihe so just to start out: this is one of the good ones.

BUT

If you don't believe in "no means yes but shyly" it's gonna leave a bad taste in your mouth

It is quite suggestive and some not-that-descriptive smut legit made me blush: FL is kinky and h**ny 24/7. It starts out intense and honestly kinda shady, FL doesn't know what "enthusiastic consent" means. If you read "After Being Bent By Reader" you'll get what I mean. Tho it's somehow... more>> worse.

Overall plot is pretty average and sweet, with the typical possesive FL/sweet innocent MC, but author is really h**ny and it takes the spotlight. <<less

I like this story a lot. Don't expect Lord of the Rings kind of writing, but if you want a novel that is pretty well translated (it's better than many other novels I've read through this site), with a main character that doesn't take flak from bullies and likes to act, this one might be for you.

I legit started an account on this site because I saw some people were giving it 1 stars. Everyone has a right to their own opinion, but as a reader of this story it... more>> definitely deserves much more than 1 star. I gave it a 5 because it doesn't feel right having this story only at a 3.6 with its quality level.

Other people have already described what happens in the story, so I won't get too much into it. It's sweet, it's yuri. If you have an afternoon to kill, it's worth a shot. <<less

Alright, I've edited a lot but I think this will be my last.

This is the first GL wn I've ever read, and I've got sorta mixed feelings about it.

The MC is cute and silly but hardworking (which I like), while FL has a more stereotypical "overbearing CEO" personality (which I'm less interested in). They're cute together, but I'm meh on the FL so I'm not that interested in this CP.

The drama is pretty well-done, much better than any het or BL showbiz wn I've read. I could read 100s of... more>> chapters of just showbiz or family drama in this style. The writing though is pretty dry, and it's an egregious example of the common CN trend of repetitive narration. As an example (I made this scene up), instead of paragraphs like

Spoiler

Gu Qingtong tripped, but Yan Chi caught her in her arms. The camera crew eagerly followed the action, realizing how much potential the scene held, and the audience screamed in the chat barrage. Behind them, Bai Jin's eyes narrowed in suspicion.

[collapse]

Instead you've got entire chapters like

Spoiler

Gu Qingtong tripped, but Yan Chi caught her in her arms.

At first, Gu Qingtong was in too much shock and was unable to react. When her mind cleared, she noticed the arms around her. It was Yan Chi! She blushed and stared at her face, but then she realized and stared at her biceps instead.

Gu Qingtong was walking when Yan Chi noticed a rock in her way. She readied her arms, and when Gu Qingtong tripped she easily caught her in her arms. She smelled her perfume and felt her warmth in her arms. She had to resist the urge to do something to her, and the tension caused her to clench her muscles. She watched Gu Qingtong look at her face, then her biceps.

(I got bored so imagine another 5 paragraphs repeating the same scene over and over again from different POVs)

[collapse]

It makes the entire wn really tiring to read. I end up starting the chapter really interested in the story, then by the end of the chapter the same scene has been chewed to death and I've lost interest.

Honestly not sure if I have it in me to keep reading, which is disappointing since I really want to know what happens with the showbiz drama. <<less

(take this with a grain of salt as I haven't completed the series, neither has the translator as well)

if you like assertive love interests & innocent MC, then this is for you! not for me tho whew. I definitely couldn't get into this series at all.

the way the FL acts towards the MC was a bit surprising to me... she came off so STROOONG: kissing, hugging, biting the MC while filming a variety show?? that I was a bit uncomfortable. it felt like I shouldn't be reading it... more>> at all; with how suggestively the intimate scenes were written. I almost thought it was a mature novel for a second.

moreover, the FL was quick with it and did these within like a week? month? of meeting the MC and hhhh it rubs me the wrong way. maybe the MC & FL had met in the past, which made the FL super devoted to her whatever but I just can't help but imagine me in the MC's shoes: how uncomfortable I would be if someone I wasn't close with, suddenly gets all touchy and aggressive on me, even if I was a fan of them...

the tags & description in NU didn't say much about the novel, so I came in expecting sweet dog food yuri, but ended up reading suggestive sweet yuri 0_0

other than that, it was pretty much average. this was something I semi-binge read to pass time so I wasn't expecting much lol <<less

I want to give this novel a 2 star, but it has its moments and the writing is decent so 2.5 or 3 is the compromise I can think of.

For a starter, there's a very good reason for the mixed reviews here. Some like it, some don't. I'm leaning towards the latter because of the number of non/dub-con interactions here. I've read plenty of baihes and I'm aware that at this point, the majority that I've read that have been translated have some amount of non/dub-con interactions between the main... more>> characters (it's rarer to find the good ones) and I've learned to close one eye to these for most parts, but sometimes the characters/authors really push the boundaries. For this one, they basically

have semi-public interc**rse.

I'm not going to yuck anyone's yum, it might be interesting for some people, especially since one of them is a yandere and this behaviour is basically expected but when their partner requested them to stop or tear up from fear or whatever it really isn't for me. That might be fine for some people because after all, this is a fiction and I understand that perfectly. Again, to each their own.

Plot wise, it can be summed up to: characters in novels gaining sentience and deviate from the original novel plot by making it yuri. And because they're famous, a good chunk of this novel is also set in a variety show setting.

Not exactly a groundbreaking plot, especially since this can easily be the summary for She Is The Protagonist too. The variety show brings some fun to the story, but the part of "hidden live camera" is just insane, especially with how careless the team is in this setup. Probably won't be legal in the variety shows I watch but it's fun in the novel.

There's a side character I wish we explore more although she's truly unnecessary to the story and that is
Spoiler

Gu Siyuan. She seems to care about her sister very much but honestly, I don't get it. She says that Gu Qintong is the best sister and mind you, this is a sister who didn't even tell her little sister that she got married or fall in love or anything significant ever it seems. Her inclusion feels very forced but at least she appears to have a good head on her shoulders... unlike her sister.

the plot is quite sweet, fluffy, and it was funny. The teasing was also funny at the start but it was tiring. It got to a point that I didn't want to finish the story anymore.

but overall, the story was sweet. If you want a sweet story throughout, this might be one for you.

This novel is very good to read. It might be a little bit uncomfortable for few readers because of the FL's domineering way of doing things, once you get past to it, the pacing will feel rewarding. I've gone crazy laughing because of the MC's interactions with her mischief.

For me this is a great read the plot is pretty straight forward and its very fluff and *ehem* not so fluff *ehem*😏 at the same time, if you're looking for a sweet novel with very little angst I suggest you give this one a read👍 my face still hurting from smiling too much while reading this 🤣

The plot so far is mid. Mostly repetative, with little in the way of real plot progression. My biggest issue is the consent (or lack thereof) :

... more>>
Spoiler

Virtually every intimate scene has MC literally in tears begging FL to stop, and FL just does whatever she wants anyways. And then MC just moves on afterward?? I get that in East Asia women are expected to be reserved and show reluctance for s*x, but for f*ck's sake! They're lesbians, that patriarchal bullsh*t hardly applies, especially in this AU where gay marriage is legal. And there's a difference between acting reserved/reluctant and sobbing for whatever is about to happen to cease. When anything intimate is being viewed as a punishment, and is being forced, the perpetrator should really take a good look at themselves. And then end themselves. MC literally tried to run away from it, just to be dragged back to the bed, and I'm not supposed to be deeply disturbed by that?
