Tong Zhao returned.

It was just as her mother passed away, and she was driven out of the Tong family by her stepmother. She was then deceived into joining a reality show that was adapted into a palace drama-themed instinctive film that year.

Tong Zhao’s journey into quick-wearing roles began when she was eighteen. She has portrayed countless characters: a bewitching concubine favored by the emperor, a decisive leader in a post-apocalyptic world, a sweet and adorable group favorite, a journalist burdened with national hatred… Her ability to act was so impressive that the system even made her play a top idol adored by millions of girls, but in male form.

Since actors cannot retain their own consciousness during holographic filming, they can only perform by instinct and integrate with the implanted character persona. This is why holographic films are also called instinctive films. Only when actors play roles that are similar to their true personalities will they give a good performance—this is a consensus in the film industry.

Young actors lack experience, and it is impossible for ordinary people to have lives as exaggerated as those depicted in films.

Tong Zhao: How exaggerated do you want the life experiences to be?

Is the enchanting and country-toppling Empress Chen Gui fei enough?

When people thought Tong Zhao was just playing herself, assuming she was a bewitching and scheming character, she then starred in a cold and emotionless post-apocalyptic leading role film. So, does that make her a tough woman? In the next TV drama, Tong Zhao was a soft and cute little darling… The most outrageous part was that outside of the drama, she actually turned all the female fans of a top male star into her own loyal followers!

Thankfully romance only occurs in the extras as the story focuses on TZ and her personalities instead. Ending to the main story and extras was good but not really in depth and not so much closure, but maybe it’s what they say about how no extra words are needed?

A very new/novel take on the genre of FMC returning from QT and the aftermath of QT and the different personalities that form after living numerous lifetimes. Never thought of it this way but it totally makes sense when you think about... more>> how they are all different individuals after all. Very exciting to read,

But one complaint I have is that there are other personalities/doors that were not opened in the end, even tho we know there are more than 8, and there’s no closure to that. Like they brought it up and then never talked about it after that. There is also the revenge subplot that just kinda faded away. Or I'm not sure if there was even any revenge planned to be had?

I am happy that the ML is who he is, and not who I thought it would be.

All in all an interesting read and I enjoyed it. 8.5/10 <<less

Great, read this whole novel in one go

I was initially thrown off by the unique plot set-up, but I had some faith and it really surprised me! Never read a storyline like this before with the whole concept of “instinct films” combined w MC’s multiple personalities was great

i would have honestly preferred if this novel were longer! It felt like there was a lot of build up and foreshadowing that MC had NUMEROUS personalities, but only a few were revealed and by the end of the story my expectations were... more>> let down a bit 💔

the romance was ?? Alright I guess? Bonus points for the obedient puppy dog vibes of ML, though I personally was conflicted because MC had PROPER chemistry with multiple great guys, what a shame. Like damn, other novels can’t even get one main couple with good chemistry, and this novel had multiple possible pairings 😭 alas, I wouldn’t have minding even a reverse harem the chemistry was that good

hinted at revenge but MC didn’t really bother that much, she just lived her life minding her business and her opps just faded into the background and suffered by themselves due to MC’s success.

++ MC who is skilled at fighting and beats up people!! Hell yes. Her consort personality was also SO endearing. Like cmere I also want to pamper you 😭♥️ <<less

It might be too early to post a review about this story but I can't help but just wanted to share my thoughts about this. I love the FL amd honestly who wouldn't? She's so cool, smart and a girlboss! Her potraying different kind of roles (like in the summary; a cunning concubine, a cool and logical leader and etc.) instead of the same kind of role to settle an image to the people is so cool!

At first, I was a bit confused of the world-building, so pardon my sorry... more>> excuse of an explanation and review.

Background:

Tong Zhao, the MC has finally returned back to her original world after countless times of transmigrating into other worlds. In her world, technology seem to be advanced as there is using virtual reality in filming a movie/show, all you need is just to enter a pod and your consciousness would enter a VR setting of the theme place.

In this case, Tong Zhao is the daughter of the legendary actress and wants to at least changed her life and live the way she wanted compared to the way she did in her previous life—when she returned back to her og world, she was back to her 18 yr. Old previous self. This means in using her experiences as a transmigrator to act better in portraying the roles given in the script.

What's interesting is that, compared to our world who some actors have various roles like being played as often the villain, an extra, the good guy and etc. The MC's world, in the entertainment industry (?), they—the actors wouldn't dare to risk in acting a different role since it also portrayed their "true selves" inside the virtual reality, despite the character description given in the script.

To others, it might not be interesting, but for me it's kinda cool. It's like seeing a someone made a first impression and they (audience) already branded it to them permanently in the person's figure.

Not our MC though, she wanted to at least try different kinds of roles and she doesn't want to restrict her persona's freedom (?)

For now, I'm still at ch. 16 but I really wamted to leave this story a good review and rating.

So sorry if my english isn't good. And future readers this is just my opinion, but I hope you enjoy sincerely reading this story. <<less
