Zhai Xingchen has transmigrated into a novel about a rich and powerful love variety show. Almost all of the 8 guests have a combination of beauty and wealth, which can be called the pinnacle of a love variety show.

For example, guest No. 1 is notorious and cold. Everyone has to avoid him. He has only been interested in financial data in his life, but he has an extremely handsome face. A casual smile can make people blush and walk. He is the master of the Future Business Empire, and he can swipe his bank card at will.

Guest No. 2, a straight boss with evil charm, height 191, male dog waist, shark muscle, the son of luck who will be famous in the world. Now he is still starting his own business, but he will suddenly become rich in a year, and become the owner of a listed company at a young age.

Guest No. 3, a gentleman who is aloof and abstinent, his shirt is always buttoned to the top. Although extremely clean, he actually has a twisted and fiery heart. And he is a well-known domestic e-sports ace.

The other guests are all rich second-generation, such as the enthusiastic and gorgeous queen Bottom, the restrained and temperamental high-level intellectual Bottom, the mature and dignified Bottom and so on.

But Zhai Xinchen is the nobody in this romance novel. He does the most work and gets the fewest shots. He has never received a Touched Message from beginning to end. He is a complete nerd. Ah, this persona suits him so well!

Zhai Xingchen is determined to be the little match, to burn himself and illuminate other guests.

When someone was hurt by the indifference of guest No. 1, he comforted: “It’s only because of his unfortunate childhood that he was so dark. Don’t you want to be his only light?”

When everyone thought that guest No. 2 was too greasy and domineering, he explained: “Don’t you think he is full of the spirit of a king? He will definitely achieve something in the future, I am optimistic about him!”

As for the guest No. 3: “He looks so cold and abstinent, don’t you want to tear his shirt off?”

Thanks to his efforts, the show really exploded.

Guest No. 1: “He is my only light.”

Guest No. 2: “Only he understands me best.”

Guest No. 3: “What I thought in my heart, even if I say it, it will be banned from broadcasting.”

Four five six seven guests: “I love him.”

Zhai Xingchen: “…Ah?”

When the show first aired, netizens said, “I don’t think the guests seem to be in love.”

Later: “Every episode is a jealous Shura field, so exciting!”

“This is too damn sweet! My little face is flushed.”

I like it. There's no usual white lotus or green tea b*tches that are usually there in these variety shows in novels. All of them are sensible, real people, even the least important side characters are normal. Gives you a sense of peace while having comedy and romance.

Wish there was 7 MCs for all of them to have their own true endings because they all deserve it, but there's only one MC unfortunately. By chapter 50 I knew who was going to win this harem war with all the clues given. I was satisfied with the winner but romance style is bit one sided because of the reality show format. It's all guests piling on MC and MC didn't seem to give the same as much effort so the love is lobsied so you feel MC doesn't... more>> love the others as much. You just get that feeling.

Also this show seems too controlling and not given much privacy I don't think anybody for go on this show in real life, Also a month is too unrealistic for relationship to develop that quickly, so you feel out of touch for that romance side aswell, author did her best to cover it up by not mentioning the timing as much so you don't realize this show is only a month. MC is charismatic, nice, funny talented, handsome, but these super high level and rich people seen alot they just fall over the heels for MC in mere weeks or so. MC he has alot of fundashi monologues in the beginning he ships all these couples before realizing he was in the middle of it all. He's not as outgoing as he used to be, he's all shy and embarrassed, to me he lost his abit of his sparks and individuality. Around chapter 100 is where it fell it was going off.

But Overall I enjoy all the interactions and the characters antics it's funny and very interesting, just abit drag out to me in general.

(Though the translations makes me laugh keep messing up the shes and hes then the line' Don't be a pu*sy keep showing up) <<less

It's okay, I stopped reading because my attention span moved on lol it's not impossible that I could come back though.

If you're looking for a chill gary sue harem story this is it.

I like that they do flush out the characters, and MC is okay (close to being funny/relatable, but imo not quite there). I didn't like just how gary sue he was though, like a super beauty who is a top classic dancer? Who happens to have caught one of the MLs' fancy before? There wasn't really a good... more>> explanation of the transition from Orig!MC to this TMed one.

Also I found it easier to just MTL it. Google's pretty incredible nowadays lol <<less

I would say the translation is good, but that would be a lie. Honestly, I think the translator is either

1) Chinese, because there were so many cultural Chinese things/words that wasn’t translated and it’s just echoing in my head without any help. I’m not getting it more than I originally would in my first-time reading. There are some words I could guess, though. Like, ‘The novel DXC wore’ probably means ‘the novel he transmigrates into’ 🤔 So I guess they probably just read their own translation and thought it made... more>> sense...

or 2) a Chinese learner. Using google translate and the things which are left untranslated is the things that they, too, don’t know what it means 😭

I mean yeah I read it side-to-side with google translation and I get the general meaning, but it wouldn’t help clarify much from the google translation. I just do it cuz I have free time now 🫠

The synopsis had me hooked, though. Let’s hope I can stick around for a few more chapters before my headache kills me. <<less

Although this novel had been in my to read list for a long time, I didn't read it because of the bad translation. And since the plot seems interesting I didn't wanna ruin the experience by the bad translations.

So, thank you new translator and translation group for picking it up!🙇‍♀️ And I am loving the story so far. Although I am not a big fan of showbiz genre, this one is pretty good and lighthearted far away from the typical dramas and scandals cliche you usually see in showbiz novels... more>> and I am glad for that. And the characters are really likable. And I love how there is the slight comedy as I am sucker for comedy in every genre.
Spoiler

And the director and the live audience commenters are my favorite characters lol. They just add more fun into it all.

I always used to think that ppl were exaggerating when they say that a translation was bad, but I now that finally experienced it for the first time, I seriously... Cannot read this anymore!!

... I'm missing such a good novel TT I'm sorry, but goodbye!

FYI, I think the new translator is better than the old one. Quite a few ratings were lower because of translation quality. Not that it mattered to me because I MTLed the rest of it.

It's a sweet story. I really appreciate that everyone is a reasonable adult. There are no annoying 2D characters that cause drama for no reason, or get between the love interests. That being said, there really isn't any drama haha. We follow a group of young men who may or may not be looking for love... more>> and are taken on a journey of whether or not the romance will lead to a HE for the couple.

This is a sweet story where you see the characters grow and mature with each other. But not for you if you're looking for exciting highs and lows in the plot. Everything just slowly and naturally builds up to the main couple pairing up at the end. <<less

It's a really cute one. Sweet with hints of bitterness. Love how the author always manages to balance it.

I'm always scared of harem tags but decided to read it after I read the: Your Rival in Love Gets Prettier Every Day, and man, I'm not disappointed. Certainly give it a try if you read her other work too or if you like the heartthrob MC!!

Only one sentence that I can mention.

This is truly the sweetest novel I have ever read.

i swear 😭😭😭

... more>> it was absolutely sweet from start to finish.

204 chapters, that's really not enough for me. I can even read another 200 chapters 😭😭😭

how to say?

all the characters are absolutely perfect 😭😭

The innocent and mature Kaka Duan. I think he's really the saddest, but not that sad. He is happy in a subtle way 🥺

Liu qingning, I was worried for her for a while. However no, no annoying cannon fodder plot twists, he really is a really good friend and big brother.

Our cute Wunnong, a pitiful baby who grew up well in the end. I really liked how he and Qingning ended up being brothers who depended on each other

Hu Ying, our most beautiful boy. He always makes me laugh with his bright and sometimes sad character, he is still the most fun until the end 😅☺

Huocheng, our dashing elder brother. To be honest, some of the parts I cried were all part of Huo's brother 😭😭😭 Nice way he released Zhai was really gentle 😭😭

To be honest, I'm really sad for Yan Zhi. To be honest, from the start I chose Pei Xu even before the Shura mines started, but among all the characters, it's clear that Yan Zhi has the greatest chance of rocking. He is really cold and wants to make us his mother 😭🥺

and the two characters I love the most. Our most beautiful and bright star zhai and our handsome and extraordinary Pei xu. I really never found a cuter CP than them 😭😭😭 it's really a minefield full of dog food 😭😭. DAMN, THEY ARE REALLY SWEET 😭😭😭

I can never move on from them.

anyone who wants to be happy and sm

ile, I really recommend this story.

I really want the MC ended up with Yan Zhi ! It's not fair that the author making yan zhi character gets more distance towards the end and doesnt explore more on his pov. Making it okay for him to lose to ML. 😭

Although I’m not a fan of harem stories, I decided to read this because of the Reality Tv show plot that rarely appears. MC is basically a gary stu who attracts everybody and anybody. Despite being gay and being a 1 he makes everyone around him want to dominate him and not a single character doesn't want him. It’s weird how not a single person on the show falls for anybody else, he’s said to basically be the shows background character, but he’s oblivious to the fact he’s the start... more>> of the show. The MC is a gay man it’s hard to believe he doesn't realize they want him. <<less
