ML, despite being all powerful and perfect, had to go and become an actor. Wth it's so unsuitable for the character.

FL been mistreated for many years by cheating ex, stood up, undermined and even forced to support other artists under his label in disguise, she seems completely lack of awareness and self respect for tolerating that sort of bullshittery without even trying to resolve their relationship hurdles. EX might've coaxed her every time but never really showed changes in his actions. My suspicions are that she stayed with him because she was already blacklisted thanks to him, her family turned against her because of him, her ego couldn't handle being in the wrong so she stuck to him while ignoring all the red flags until cannon fodder mistress gave her too much insult to bear.

As for the dear ML, his character is the usual stoic I-will-ruin-you-if-you-ever-cross-me type. Famous for hating honey traps or general schemes in the entertainment industry, he immediately breaks character by hooking up with a former top model. From start to finish, he's the one that's doing most of the work and even FL acknowledges it.

Weird ass reason for sticking to being a model was first of just revenge, then she aims to become his equal.

Though I cannot relate how the best top model could ever compare to someone who's on the very top of corporate giants, it's net worth gap of dozens of millions VS dozens of billions, no matter if its influence or power, she'd never be able to match up merely as a model. It just feels like FL/Author needed a reason to keep the story in the entertainment face-slap business.

for 1k+ chapters, I feel like author could've also squeezed out more fluff than bunny fk.

Title is also utterly BS, no less than 1/10 into the content, they no longer treated it as a trial marriage and this sad husband worked his bu*t off till he started burning with a fever. Trial, where? Work hard, who? Roll credits after first arc please...

Lastly, examples for how most things are going in FL's favor are like how often the timing is just right to prevent her suffering from a huge loss or how she meets up the next company she wants to sign with but the CEO rarely attends charity events decides to attend for some reason but doesn't even act upon those reasons.

The MC lived as a cicada for years. Then the cicada turned into an oriole.

No will, blind bad love, gave up everything for a scoundrel that betrayed her all the time. Then she find out about the mistress, but went to the CAB on the next day (where she was supposed to marry the scoundrel) anyway (guess she was waiting to see what would happen or maybe still had some hope). There she found the ML who was supposed to be marrying someone to, but that woman was late (late to marry the godly handsome and powerful entertainment king, she is probably crazy... I would have camped there) and for some reason (family pressure? Never heard about it later), he had to marry that day.

Then... She proposed.

Yeah, like "So, my fiance is with his mistress, your bride is crazy, wanna marry?" and he was like "Assistant, google her... Yeah... Hum... Ok, I accept. But you have to live with me in my spanish-palace-style super-expensive house, stranger.".

So... I was not even sure why she decided to marry a random guy. Okay, not so random. Hello? Godly handsome and powerful entertainment king there! But, anyway, within two seconds she decided to marry him, get the so called fairness (revenge, baby) and end her career hiatus as top model. And boost her career through revenge.

Tcharaaam, instant couple! Don't even need to boil it for three minutes!

They act like a married couple: cooking together, worrying about each other, fluffy, fluffy, fluffy. BUT, no love yet. Like ML said "If we keep our figure like this, we'll never have to worry about divorce". Yeaah, all about "I'm in love with the shape of you". But they are all fluffy anyway. Ah, of course, MC was virg*n and the ML decided to wait, because for some reason he decided he wanted not only the body, but the heart of this strange too. Of course (again), they ended up doing it anyway, since I guess it would take too long to wait.

After a while you think "wow, their relationship progressed so much!" and then ML and MC let this out: "I like you so much, miss you so much, maybe even love"... WHAT!? Only now its >maybe< love????

I was like "Its one of those forever histories..." (which I like, but I was sure this history would not have a slow development as ML and MC decided to marry in two seconds and acted like long time married couple after one blink.)

MC's long term goal is to reach the top to be proudly side by side with her OP husband. "Mini-missions" are all about someone trying to ruin MC's reputation for [insert futile reasons here]. Short term goal is, I guess, revenge? Deal with dumb villains?

MC is... She wishes that her husband don't overwork, but keeps interrupting his job, asking him to go with her everywhere out of blue, making him work for her... She is a hell of a job! I want to slap her! She is so independent, but can't stand to be away from her husband for one day. Her husband is having migraine and MC... CRY!!!! He is suffering and the one crying is her! So ML has to deal with the pain AND with the crying wife. Double trouble, yay. RUN!!

Dude! s*upid couple! Hubby / Wifey s*ave!

Also, she is famous and not so famous at same. I can't completely understand how fame works in this novel. In the end, I guess that background is more important than talent since MC is so OP when she is working. And she always hit the target (best results/top quality), but models with more works (ordinary results/ordinary quality) are the ones to get the cherry. WHAT!

She said to ML "do not use your influence to help me, I want to use my own strength!", but most of the important parts are done by him. Her schemes, two layers tops. ML, sadly, not doing so better. Wife s*ave, cool, kind of wild, but his main weapon is his power and his money. Dude, you can do anything with those two and don't even need to think too deep. I'm kind of surprised a man with so much power and money decided to marry a stranger. I guess a divorce must be as easy as drink water to him, so, whatever.

I need to say, her type of blind love is just... She gave up her top model career, her family (rich, of course) and even herself for a man that never really loved her. Sad... but the revenge is the sweetest.

I can totally see this novel as a world of a worlds-system novel. The protagonist is not as smart as she think she is and could be taken down by a soy sauce MC. BUT, thats just because I love deep and clever plot more than I like fluffy.

I know relationships are like onions (Shrek feelings), layers and layers... But at least don't peel off all the mature layers! How come they understand each other so well, but you don't really feel it? How come I can't see all the love on the details? So, they hug each other, snu snu, love declamations, knight in shining armor... And the rest? Its a typical recipe of the shallow part of a relationship. The real emotional part needs more than this, so, sometimes, their love looks so... not real. MC reminds me a leech and a forever damsel in distress.

Yes, yes, author. We know Tang Ning has high EQ and she won't attack unless she's provoked. Believe it or not, we actually got the clue before the 20th time you said it.

The "thinly-veiled misogyny is strong on this one.

An Zihao's dead girlfriend. Huh. That one was strange but it wasn't so bad since we know this character simply as a model who died and she also happened to be An Zihao's girlfriend and the reason behind his retreat from the industry. With how many times the accident was mentioned, you would've thought that this dead model will be respected by the author? Uhm, nope. Turns out she's a cheater and someone who was willing to sleep with another man for support. Why did she have to be portrayed that way? I don't know.

Tang Jingxuan's first love interest. I can’t even remember her name. But she's introduced as a good person. At least that's what I got from her refusing to harm TJX and TN. She will disappear for at about 100 chapters but lo and behold, the sweet girl we were introduced to is no more. She turned out to be a cheater (I'm sensing a pattern here) and she accidently killed someone 12 years ago (which is also mind-blowing because if TN is 27 at this time and TJX is younger than her and this girl is around the same age, she's what? 15 at most when this happened?)

Now, we have Song Yanshu. At first, she's a bland character. Someone the author came up with because Xiner/Chendong ship must sail. But she grew on me. Sure, she's bland and always on the background, but she's also perceptive, loyal, and kind. And then she ended up being TJX's second love interest. It's meh for me but it's okay and, eventually, I started rooting for them. But I should've known, right? Somewhere along the line someone must've thought (was it the author? I'd like to believe it wasn't her) that Yanshu wasn't good enough for an immature and fickle prick like Jingxuan

Yanshu and Jingxuan
