Ye Zexi transmigrated as the big villain in a danmei novel, who shares the same name as him. Then, he found out that everyone regards him as an imaginary enemy.
In this regard, he adheres to only one principle: Don’t want to fight, take everything you want.
In the boy group’s audition show: The team member wanted to take the C [Center] position from Ye Zexi. Ye Zexi took the initiative to withdraw for the sake of being lazy. The team member was complacent and thought that Ye Zexi had stage fright and the team member was determined to win. After the performance, Ye Zexi took first place. Team member: ?
The instructor asked everyone about their purpose to join the competition. Other contestants: Dreams, because we love the stage! Ye Zexi: In order to go home and inherit the family property. Other contestants: ???
Unexpectedly, not only did Ye Zexi fail to be lazy, he also became more popular.
I’m really quite happy with this novel. I can’t say there is something very unique but it’s light, funny and without much drama. It’s a really good read if you want to lighten your mood or if you a tired from all this angst.
There is not much of main characters growing, because our MC had already worked hard in his previous life. So, let’s have a good and easy life. But it’s not that easy to be a salted fish if you are an MC and ML is very interested in you.
I like how the plot goes, like the romance pace and MC character very much. Especially, the last one. Really recommend to try it out.A pleasant read and translation is also nice.
This is the story of Ye Zexi when he transmigrated to a big villain in a danmei novel.
So Ye Zexi in his previous life died just after he became a famous star. So his plans to just chill was disrupted. Ye Zexi wishes that he could just be a salted fish and enjoy the life of a second generation rich kid.
This seems like a chinese web novel at first but some jargons or slang are quite unfamiliar to me. And anime shows are being mentioned, I was even spoiled on a few.😒
The story centers on the entertainment industry. Ye Zexi is a bit of an OP in terms of singing, dancing and acting. I feel like there's no suspense at all because he will definitely give a 'perfect' result.
I love the comments of fans and it is also funny that Ye Zexi keeps on trying to retire but some hindrances appear and he was unable to.😁
Plot is decent I guess, just a bit slow on a few parts. The romance part is okay and cute and is a bit funny with the 'conflict'.😅
I'm so, so close to finishing, I think I'm just going to count it as done. Unlike most novels, I found myself getting impatient at the end - to the point I didn't really care to read the ending. It's not like there's anything really surprising, and I found the plot mostly just the typical fluff. The beginning of the story was very interesting - I thought it was hilarious how the Mc got pulled to fame despite his intentions. I also like how he slowly converts friends to enemies. But there's something a bit boring about a story where the character effortlessly succeeds despite actively wanting to avoid success. And I'm not sure I understand why anyone would fall in love with someone like that. Maybe treat it as raising a lazy cat, but not real love.
Very funny and light to read, especially when you want to get out of a reading slump, but it’s easy for me to get out of one lolol. MC is a dense idiot (said with lots of love, he’s so cute lmao), there’s no misunderstandings towards love part, just really slow lolol. The slow burn is a bit frustrating but funny. I do wish we had seen a bit more of Tang Jing because he was cute too lol.
I loved Ye Zexi! He died unexpectedly due to overworking, so he just wanted to take it easy and be a lazy rich second generation when he realized that he transmigrated into a novel as a villainous character that had the same name as him. Unfortunately for him, he transmigrated right in the beginning of an idol competition show, and his rich dad just cut off all of his money. Now, he had to do well in the show to earn living fees lol.
His character was hilarious. He kept on trying to find ways to retire, but it never worked out! Him being oblivious to the male lead's obvious affection for him was also hilarious because the whole world knew about it EXCEPT for him. And his whole internal struggle on why they wouldn't work out was freaking HILARIOUS. I've never seen someone in so much denial as Ye Zexi regarding his *cough* 0/1 attribute lmao. However, after they got together, the plot started slowing down with a lot of time skips.
And the whole Tang Jing arc in the first half kind of got annoying after a while. He just kept on trying to brush his sense of existence with Ye Zexi because he was super competitive and looked down on him from his previous attitude. He finally changed later on, but it was still pretty annoying to read about him for a while.
However, I was pleasantly surprised to finally read a story where the stepmother and stepbrother weren't vicious antagonists! The family harmony was great! I loved how Ye Zexi got along with his stepmom really well in the end compared to his dad lol.
Overall, a pretty amusing transmigration story about a guy who wanted to be a salted fish but became popular instead.
Rather funny and sweet with very minimal drama. *Spoiler* The portion with ML working around MC to get him to sign onto projects is vaguely annoying but does detract much I the scheme of things. I do enjoy that MC says he's going to be lazy and really does follow through with it in the long run.
I really loved this. The characters were very memorable and the vibes of being in the entertainment industry was really well done. I often forgot that it was a transmigration because it really didn’t need that part of it (I mean yes it did, but it also works without). It made me laugh, smile, and go through so many more emotions (embarrassment a good amount). It so much more than I thought I was getting into and I wish I could own the actual book because I want to reread in the future.
