Synopsis:

Xia Chu, who was deeply affected by school violence, woke up and returned to 2009.

Internet celebrity big V, from obscurity to a having millions of fans because they have grasped the opportunity!

How to be an Internet celebrity, be the goddess of Douban when Douban is not popular, be a Weibo big V when Weibo is not popular, and be a famous WeChat public account when WeChat is not popular!

To be unique, the most important thing for an internet celebrity is to label and market yourself!

Since she can't reach where the sun is shining, then she must be the source of light herself.

Painting, Milk Tea, and planting flowers are no different from what I did in my previous life, but using this, Xia Chu became famous surpassing people's imagination.

Impressions: This...made me want to read BL again (I'm going back to my danmei sect/BL kingdom/yaoi paradise~~) Lololol. It's not...bad, I like it more than Prosperity in the 1990s (same author) and I can see the prototype of the MC and other characters in Rich Parents and Hot Brother Found Me At Last so at least, we can see author-sama is growing, she picked up the good parts and used it in her next novel.

Summary: Our MC is from a reorganized family, Her mom and dad divorced and her mom remarried a rich dude. MC experienced school violence/excessive bullying, which affected her self-esteem, there's also the rumors that her mom married for money, then she fell in unrequited love for her stepbrother... In the end, stepbro married/got engaged with another woman with our MC not saying anything. Meanwhile, ML was also in unrequited love with her. 

Then she is reborn in highschool when she was still being bullied. Our MC fights back...by being a white lotus. Anyways. she turned it into a big deal and pushed the blame to her bullies, while pretending to be innocent. How to say...its understandable? (since her classmates and teacher were ignoring the bullying) but also a bit...bad cos you can say that many people were affected by it, the reputation of the school, the guests of the event etc. Anyways, the first few chaps didn't give me that much of a good impression of MC. Maybe there was a more clever way to solve it.

Our MC wants to be a famous internet celebrity in the future, when Weibo is more developed so she starts early by being friends with the 'great gods' and producing good content in her account (MC is a comic artists/painter). Then she starts a milk tea shop, invests in e-sports team, publishes a comic, made a brand of gifts/flower shops. She used her previous life hobbies/talents which she didn't display before (because she grew up introverted due to her life experience). Because of the butterfly wings, she meets our ML early, and ML became interested her. At first, she is still longing for stepbro but after a few times, she gradually let go and turned her affections to our ML instead~~

It's very interesting how our MC used Weibo/social media to become an 'influencer'/internet celebrity. According to reader comments, its not that accurate like the prices she mentioned, or the internet situation during 2009 etc...but anyways, its fiction, and author-sama is a good mother to MC so she is mostly smooth all the way~~ Although fast, it at least show how our MC built her own brand step by step (poor-to-rich/business management,) 

ML is a singer in the entertainment circle, and like most celebrities, he would also be attacked by fake news/malicious speculations. MC shows how powerful a big V can be in influencing public opinion and used it to protect ML/clear his reputation. Being an internet celebrity is different from an idol/actor/singer in the entertainment circle so MC & ML have different circles. MC's way of 'fighting' also changed to a more peaceful/reasonable method instead of the previous white lotus act.

Anyways, this is mostly about MC becoming more and more famous, gaining more fans etc., becoming a winner in life XD There are also some family drama, but not too much. More sugar after MC and ML officially get together. I can see the prototype of RPHB MC from our MC here, and ML's character/personality is similar to RPHB Big Brother (a tsundere little princess). More fun when MC & ML had their first daughter, then laters a son. ML is such a doting dad to the little buns~~

Extras is a bit confusing, its MC getting reborn again and again, in different circumstances, in the previous life (where she is in unrequited love with stepbro and ML is also secretly inlove with her). Some are okay, like her first meeting with ML (she became more proactive/not so introverted), there's also confessing to ML after hurting him (she asks ML to clarify their 'scandal' because she was afraid that stepbro would misunderstand). Then there's ML's engagement party (it was a business marriage) after ML decided to give up on MC, and MC confessed to him, shaking his resolve again.  The extras sort of made me feel bad for ML cos he's so passive and the decision is always with MC. Last part is MC waking up again, back to the world where he married ML & had the two little buns.  (I want to read an mpreg novel or a BL with little buns after this~)

Overall, it's pretty nice. Read this if you like winner-in-life MCs~~~
