entertainment circle, ancient to modern, side CPs, pets, rich ML
Liu Man transmigrated from thousands of years ago to the modern world. Before she transmigrated, she was completely broke. After she transmigrated, she was still worrying about her wealth. And so, for her to survive, she decided to start earning money by becoming a cyber star: trading and selling products, taking photos of her kittens, and showing off bits of her skills. One day she realized, that unconsciously, she had become one of the most famous celebrities.
I usually don't touch ongoing novels, but for some reason, I unknowingly fell into a pit. Lol. (That's what I get for not checking the number of chapters =_=)
My initial thought from the synopsis was that our MC would be someone from the cultivation world transmigrated to modern times. Lol. But it was actually just ancient China. Our MC is a Princess in name, but she spent her whole life in the Cold Palace. Then she died, and became a piano student. The original's family is broke cos of her Father's drunk driving, they had to compensate the victim's family, hire a lawyer etc. etc.
So our MC decides to sell the original's shoe collection. To prove the authenticity of the shoes, she opened a live broadcast, then her audience grew until she became an international 'influencer'/internet star. The End. Lol. Anyway, that's the gist of it. There are many many many MANY arcs(?), from MC becoming a catfood business owner, to her appearing in a movie (entertainment circle), meeting many new girl friends then forming a live broadcast group with them. Becoming famous in calligraphy and her talent in guqin etc. etc. Her 'Female Lead' Halo is on full force. Our MC is very loved by the author.

I like our MC, although I thought she's a little bit of white lotus at first. Hahaha... She also learned to be a bit sinister later on~~ Our ML is a veterinarian. but is actually really rich. Laters, he bought an entertainment company to pave the way for our MC and their pets gets fewer mentions in the story :((( Not really cliche, but the usual development is there with MC/MC friends/ML being blackened then a reversal/counterattack and some faceslapping happens. What made me fall into the pit are the characters. I like them all! The supporting male lead is there, after MC gets together with ML, he stays in the background, silently helping her. He is a GREAT guy really. UwU. Each of the girls in the 'live broadcast group' are all good, I especially like the eccentric rich girl who is a fan of MC (I'm shipping her with supporting male lead) and the smart girl (Hope a partner for her will appear in the future!), The other side CPs are also good! MC's bestfriend and the otaku/programmer guy are really sweet, especially when the guy helped her pay for tuition for an international school. ML friends are also great guys and some of them are pursuing the girls from MC's group. Even MC's mother (she divorced her dad) also has her own pairing.
Like I said, the plot is the usual development so it doesn't really give me the I-have-to-read-the-next-chapter-right-away! feeling but I like the side characters that appeared (even the one with no CPs, like this god-assist guy who is willing to be pushed in a lake and get stabbed in order to help ML.) I guess, I liked that none of them suffered super terrible misfortunes just to highlight our MC, so she could LIFT THEM UP away from despair~~ Don't abuse the side characters! I love them all! (Except He Lushen, the author can abuse him as much as she wants. Lol). Will check this for updates from time to time~~~

Lonely Apocalypse: Left Out By The System
Sometimes you wake up and just know your day is gonna suck. Now imagine waking from a three-year coma in an abandoned hospital, on an Earth that has recently fused with a different dimension. Yeah, it’s one of those days. The last I remember I was valiantly saving my high school crush from the path of an oncoming truck. Now I’m a skin and bones patient in recovery wearing nothing but my hospital gown. Has anyone seen my pants? Oh yeah, the world is also full of monsters, and I’m the only human left. Anyone ready for Spring break? It turns out a godlike System evacuated humanity, but decided to leave the vegetable in the bed. I can hardly blame it. From the moment my parents named me Lex Lurker, I was destined to be ignored. I could crawl into a corner and wait to get eaten by a freaking kobold but after years of being asleep I have a new appreciation for feeling alive. And for all the chaos, there are game-like rules and magical powers that could help me avoid becoming a meal, and perhaps even thrive in this hellscape. But first I’ll have to find the tenacity to survive, the courage to fight, and the strength to face some dark truths about myself. Whispered voices call me the Hope of Humanity, but it turns out I might be the villain of this story.
8 251Killing Tree
When your day goes to hell and you find yourself kidnapped, strung up from a magical tree, and left to bleed out, what do you do next? Asking for a friend. Fortunately, Riordan Kincaid is a tough, gives-no-fucks honey badger shifter. Unfortunately, now that he's survived the first attempt, a death mage and their cult are determined to finish the job by whatever means necessary, pursuing Riordan across the wilds of rural Michigan. Ghosts and spirits are outside of his specialty, and heaven help him if he has to cast actual spells, but Riordan isn't going to make this easy on his enemies. Even if that means breaking his long exile, turning to the local shifter community for help, and dealing with a bureaucratic department of mages. And don't even get him started on getting licked by a damn spirit bear. Now he just needs to figure out what will kill him first: his enemies, his past, or his own attempts at using magic? Or will Riordan beat the odds and prove that honey badgers really are that hard to kill? If so, what will he do with a life once hung upon a tree that's more than a tree?
