"Through the lens, Jiang Zihe watched Yang Youming take Xia Xingcheng’s head into his hands, slightly pull him down, and kiss his eye. He immediately captured this scene; his heart throbbed violently, and his eyes never left the camera as he looked at them dazedly."... more>>

Fck. Fck...T_T I love this story so much I just wanna lay down in bed and sob T_T. I don't know why I was late in reading this before but I definitely am thankful that I was able to fully read it now. I can definitely say that among all the entertainment au danmeis I've read this novel gotta be the most realistic and the most smooth in conveying their relationship. The quote I put up at the top is already at the 103th chapter but it doesn't really spoil anything and I think you'll definitely agree with me that this totally encapsulates the feeling that you'll get while reading about their love journey and story in this novel. Now please let me lie down again and immerse in this moment *sobs* <<less

*Chef's kiss* honestly from pacing to development of story this one takes the cake. I just love everything about this, showing his struggles within family and work life and how he step-by-step overcomes it. Kudos to the ml who is the top-of-all-tops when it comes to character *sniffles* and their cutie son *wails* I love them family. ... more>>

Re edit: I thought it'd be better to add more words to my review to this novel due to no. 2 lol. But I do think the one I said above are sufficient already and the most important thing really is that despite reading this years ago, this still remains the white moonlight in my heart for entertainment aus 'cause over-all the plot was more filled and heartwarming to me. <<less

Reading the last 5 (more or so) chapters of this novel really hit me hard. The last time that I was probably this much affected... more>> for a showbiz au novel was for Reborn of the Movie Star. I can't wrap my head around how to articulate my thoughts more clearly, but I'll probably start it with how this novel shows a lot more compared to others. For example, cases of hotsearch, water army, internal company struggles, differences in acting, h*mophobia etc etc are more detailed written. It's understandable that other novels will just scratch the surface with these topics but I love that one by one this novel was able to integrate it to the plot and make this book really more about developing in the entertainment industry. As most prob. know, most reborn novels come back with perfect everything etc etc, but I really love how even with the 20 years of experience in his last life the mc still struggled and we get to see how he continually pursues learning more and developing his acting 'cause it's truly his passion. Aside from that, I also cannot ask for more from the ml, he's proven to be the anchor that guided and patiently loved. I really really love them. <<less

I honestly needed this *sniffles* I just want some cutie couple who just wants to live happily in life. The mc is adorably naive but... more>> also intelligent, while the mc is like a moth to the bright light so attracted by mc's vigor in life. I love how the story explored their friendship mainly. Ughhh love this love this love this. <<less

Love this ughhhh yet again another adorably naive yet intelligent shou. I know there might be a discourse about the ml but frankly I'm on... more>> his side on this one. It he wasn't able to read minds and there wasn't his pov perhaps he would be scum-like but I think every step he did was justified *shrugs*  <<less

One of the first of this au novels that I've read since years ago. The reason why I can't stop reading for more. It's generally... more>> a light read since the path to success is already smooth for the mc, what I really liked is the ml becoming a tyrant fan lmao. <<less

Ahhh how can I even forget this one...the beginning of all for me. Some may dislike the mc but really I like that he knows... more>> what he wants and how to get it, especially since this is his 2nd life, why can't he be allowed to just play around~ <<less

I just realized that I've read this before but forgot it 'cause I was waiting for the updates  :((( Thankfully I discovered it once more... more>> and was able to finish it huhuhuhu. It's a very wholesome story and I couldn't have asked for more. I love how they really personified being together in love whether in sickness or health :(((( I love them sm. <<less

Oh oh oh this one's a bit more interesting to read 'cause the mc's life and the body that he transmigrated to have quite the... more>> sh*tty life, so it's really a challenge for the mc to overcome it all. The ml also is not that loving too at first 'cause literally he hated the person the mc got lol. Honestly, it's quite a roller-coaster read. <<less

Ughhh I really wanted there to be more chapters T-T but I also understand how perfect it already is to wrap it up in just... more>> 45 chapters. I really really reallyyy love each characters like goooddddd I’ve read a lot of bl novels lol but truly the mc and especially the ml is sooo fun and just overall they are so cute,  including how cute their friends are. Overall, this is a short yet very fun packed story for me.  <<less

The mc is honestly so cool to the point that many readers may actually call him as cold, and that's totally acceptable too. However, I... more>> actually love this kind of mc. It may be a matter of perspective but we rarely have this kind of mc-shou that is cool, calm, collected, even stoic to others feelings, usually that goes to the ml. I love it though 'cause it shows the mc's true character, even if he was reborn to a 20 yr old body, he's already made it to the top and knows that he can do it again so he doesn't really care much about other people's opinion. I honestly love how mature and blunt he is, sometimes it may be a bit insensitive too, although it'll do make sense why he became like this. Thus, I really love the development of him slowly opening up and being able to trust and love in the story. <<less

All I can say is it’s a full packed very wholesome heartwarming story. I just love the characters so much, not just the mc or... more>> ml, but each side-characters really brought and added color to this story more. 11/10 definitely recommends this story.  <<less

Omggggggg this novel is a freaking gem!!!!! The mc's the most endearingly savage idol/actor that I've read among all the entertainment danmeis. The ml also is just as (if not as more) savage than mc. Anywayy I LOVE LOVE LOVE THEIR INTERACTIONS SO MUCH AND OMGGG THE FANDOM WARS BETWEEN THEIR FANBASES (who knows nothing lmao) IS *CHEF'S KISS* CHERRY ON TOP XDDD... more>>

Also, while reading this novel, I've been so endeared by the thought of how the mc and ml's dynamics here are just like WangXian (mdzs) without the angst/sunshot campaign happening T_T. Like legit they're like the modern middle school deskmates who've stayed in touch 'till present and can't last a day w/o flirting *cough* fighting each other lmaoo. They even have the only after years did they realize their feelings rofl. Ugghh I love them so much T-T  <<less

The author of this one is the same for ROS that's why it is kinda similar in style. Anyway I've always preferred actors au a... more>> bit more 'cause I'm also very interested in the plays/drama they take part in.  <<less

Set in the same uni as "Your Scandals are Cuter Than You." Although I had a bit of a rough time liking the first chapters... more>> with the way it was written/translated, everything has been forgiven when I read the latter chapters lmaoo. This is also generally a light fluff romcom novel and I couldn't have asked any better from it especially since I really like being able to read a lot of "netizen comments/reacts" in danmeis lol. I think saying this novel is SWEET SWEET SWEET and Crackkk is the apt definition ahahhaha. <<less

I've really enjoyed this one <3 <3 <3 It's light read with just a bit of angst and it's not dragging at all (ofc there's... more>> a bit of misunderstandings but all perfectly paced). I may be hated for this lol but it actually reminds me of an rps cp that I definitely adore so this novel truly hits me in my soft spot.  <<less

It's been awhile since I was so eager to finish a novel in one go to the point that I had to read mtl to... more>> the end lmao. This is not as entertainment au-centric as others in this list but I love how the character was so confident "narcissistic" ,as his husband says lol, of his acting skills but was also so willing to offer his knowledge to the point of conquering his enemies. Aside from that, I really love how there was no dragging of misunderstandings and they were upfront with everything ughh I love them couple definitely one of my top cps, throwing dog-food everywhere rofl! <<less

Hmmhh....well well...I probably should start a list for novels with very mature themes. This one's a BD*M actors au so hope you are aware before reading. This really is my top guilty pleasure lmao.... more>>

*Update: Okay so...apparently someone bought the license for this novel so Chrysanthemum Garden was only able to translate up to ch. 58 before they deleted it. Now idk which site it is but it ain't free anymore, guess I'll bear with mtl 'cause I'm broke lol. <<less

So far I've only read 2 BL novels that focuses on an Agent MC so I really like reading them too. More than handling actors... more>> and solo singers etc I really love how the mc handled a girl group and took them to the top. Aside from that I'm also very endeared by the ml lmao, I think this is the first I've read of a film emperor gong being such a big baby, very coquetish and direct in pursuing his love. <<less

Mc is literally back from the abyss to extract vengeance upon his lover and protegé all the while learning how to love to live in... more>> his second life. <<less

I've been reading bl novels for years and this is still the only one with a focus on classical music. It's like Sherlock finally focusing... more>> on violin by rebirth while still looking for clues on his own mu*der, well not really but same gist *shrugs* <<less

I honestly love the premise of this, voice actors usually aren't explored as main characters so it's quite unique.

Now this...is just full crack lmao. The mc (shou) isn't the one in the entertainment industry but he is the "sugar daddy" of the ml... more>> (gong). Honestly, I've never read a shou more funnier than this one, his only motto in life is "money money money and perhaps love" lol. <<less

Mc's so done with the ent. industry after one life now he just want to find love and ain't that so relatable lmao. Too bad... more>> (or not lol) for him but it seems he's really fated to be an actor. Well no one even said you can't find love while at it though~ <<less

Funny asf lmao the mc is soooooo adorably funny, there are times he borderline looks like a fool but he's still a cute fool. I... more>> mtl-ed this one 'cause I cannot wait to read what's next just like the other bl novels that I'm impatient to read from. (A trick if you want to mtl just copy the chinese title search up on google and click on the first one much better is if its on shubaow 'cause it doesn't have explicit ads, if it's a modern genre then it has smooth mtl but it may get a bit wonky for gaming, historical, and xianxia aus.) <<less
