There's a layer to this story that goes beyond the variety show drama, and I think the symbolism around Su Yuqing's situation is surprisingly rich. The ice rink is not just a funny obstacle — it's a metaphor for her entire position in the entertainment industry. She's on thin ice, literally and figuratively. One wrong move and she falls through. The Su and Jiang families have jointly blacklisted her, cutting off her support systems, and yet she's expected to perform perfectly anyway. The ice represents the slippery, unforgiving nature of the world she's trying to navigate. Then there's the theme of performance versus authenticity. Su Chengxi performs the role of the caring sister while secretly orchestrating Su Yuqing's destruction. Ou Yulan performs the grieving mother at the press conference while being the architect of the attack. Meanwhile, Su Yuqing's performance on the variety show — dancing on ice, singing an English pop song — is the only place where she might actually be herself. The irony is thick. The System's revelation that she's been blacklisted by both families, delivered while she's sitting on a windowsill apparently slacking off, is a great moment. She's communicating with something outside her reality while the people in her reality are trying to erase her from it. The contrast between the mechanical coldness of the System and the emotional coldness of her family creates this interesting parallel about what kind of coldness is worse.
very interesting concept, it's different in a good way, I like laid back main characters ?
I love this .book! particularly the male and female lead, I cannot wait to see how they fall in love This is one of the best mafia books I have ever and I'm so excited to see how it unfolds.

Recommended: #Fantasy, #Magic, #WeaktoStrong, #Tragedy. This is a must-read for anyone seeking a fresh and thrilling fantasy saga. Starting is a bit slow, but as the story progresses, it becomes more interesting. I currently am chapter 77, and its getting better.
Author-san, this novel is great. It made me addicted just after reading the first chapter, and without knowing I finished reading all the chapters. As a senior, please impart your word of wisdom to this humble and poor fellow Author. ???
