3 STARS - I LIKED IT
MY REVIEW:
I loved the family interaction. Wen Wen is such a tsundere with his mom lol. Their antics were so cute and sweet. You can really feel their affection for each other.
I really hated the female and male leads in the actual novel because they kept on appearing in front of Fu Yuanruo to brush up their sense of existence and to act like victims, which was so annoying. If they just left her alone, they wouldn't have their ending as bad.
This book focuses more on family, so the romance is very slow and only appears more towards the second half of the book. Overall, a cute, sweet book about family.

Summary from Novel Updates:
Every novel has a low IQ supporting female that serves as a foil to the female lead’s good and beautiful sides. She’s the stepping stone on the path of love between the male and female leads, destined to live her life doing s*upid things until her tragic end.
One day, all of the villainous supporting females came to their senses. They began to rebel! And quit! For the sake of world order, the System found a human to take their place.
World 1: The female lead risks her life to shield the male lead while the supporting female quakes in a corner (and watches the show)
Male Lead: ?? So you never loved me.
Supporting Female: He finally found out, looks like my job was a success. The end of the year bonus is mine!
Male Lead: ?!
A fun and breezy quick-transmigration story~
4 STARS - I REALLY LIKED IT
MY REVIEW:
I really liked this book! The protagonists usually want to change the plot once they transmigrate into a story, but Ye Wei is an outstanding employee who wants to stick to the plot! She becomes so great at being a vicious supporting female character that it's ingrained in her bones. She just wants to get enough points to get a chance of winning the Chinese Medical System so she can waken up from her vegetative state and not make her parents sad anymore.
Every arc was great. I definitely didn't notice the tragedy tag when I looked into the novel, so I didn't know that every arc had a bad ending, but it was so good! Wei Wei played her part TOO well lol. The ending after she woke up was also pretty unexpected.
I liked how it was kind of open ended and how she continued to work as a supporting female character. I'm just confused on how it actually worked? Like, does her time stop when she gets transmigrated into a new world, or what does her original body do when she transmigrates? Does she get paid real money now or does her payment still only work in the transmigration workplace?
The author wrote another book in the same franchise called Quick Transmigration with Female Lead Aura, which looks pretty funny, so I ended up reading it next lol. (Spoiler alert, I did lol)

4 STARS - I REALLY LIKED IT
MY REVIEW:
I've never read such a shameless, money-grubbing, confident female lead, and I loved her!
The first two arcs were pretty entertaining because Jiang Nian has such a unique way of thinking. She wants to follow along with the story plot, so even though she outwardly does something, she's really thinking about how much money she's gaining or losing lmao.
The third arc was my favorite because Jiang Nian turned the first two arcs into idol dramas that shocked the whole entertainment industry. That and her band of little brothers and how they had to scrape and beg for money to get funds for filming was HILARIOUS. I was laughing at almost every chapter!
The other arcs were pretty funny, too, but I'm sure some stuff got lost in translation since I was machine translating towards the second half of the book. If some kind soul finishes translating this book, I will definitely read it again because I love Jiang Nian and how her one true love is gold lmao.
