Description
After a car accident, Shi Zhou transmigrated into a book as a weak and easily bullied cannon fodder stand-in—destined to be written off soon. On his first day in the book, Shi Zhou, a hopelessly gay and looks-obsessed guy, picked up a sickly beauty. Drunk, he clung to the beauty and spouted nonsense: “I kissed you, so you have to kiss me back!” “Hehehe, your car looks pretty spacious… perfect for some exercise!” “You’ve got a stomachache, beauty? Let me rub it for you~” When he sobered up, Shi Zhou realized the person he’d shamelessly kissed, groped, and even kicked out of their own bed was none other than the book’s fragile white moonlight—the most terrifying bigshot of them all, Qin Yancheng. Tell him, what could be more mortifying and terrifying than a cannon fodder stand-in running into the supreme white moonlight? Shi Zhou: “I’m sorry! I was wrong! Can I just… leave now?” Qin Yancheng smirked coldly: “What do you think?” Much later— Shi Zhou: “You wanna know how I calm down the psycho instantly? Easy! Kiss him silly before he explodes! Here, let me demonstrate~ (+￣+▽￣)～mwah!” Onlookers: “Uh… are you sure he’s calm?” (+づ+ωど) Qin Yancheng had a painful past that left him depressed, world-weary, and prone to mood swings, his body still plagued by illness. He loathed his former self so much that he projected that hatred onto Shi Zhou, who bore an uncanny resemblance to his younger self— Yet… When someone tried to blacklist Shi Zhou, Qin Yancheng founded a talent agency for him. When someone cut Shi Zhou’s screen time, Qin Yancheng made him a capital-backed addition to the cast. When someone slandered Shi Zhou, Qin Yancheng handled the PR crisis and even faked a relationship with him. Detractors ready to expose their “fake publicity romance” were stunned: Holy shit! The billionaire President Qin is wearing a cartoon apron and expertly chopping veggies?! Qin Yancheng won’t let go of Zhouzhou even during a gastroscopy—are these two magnets in human form?! Look at how gently he combs his hair! Those hands can sign nine-figure contracts and peel shrimp with care. In the end, everyone agreed: Who dares say ‘ChengZhou’ is fake?! Shi Zhou, the triumphant tamer of the psycho, scratched his head: “Well… actually, we were fake at first…” The ChengZhou fandom had a top-tier fanfic writer known as the “Little le*d Leader”—Escaping Airship—who churned out endless R-18 content. Not only were their stories eerily realistic, but they also posted high-def candid shots of President Qin for everyone’s enjoyment. Until one day, the le*dest of the le*d Little le*d Leader accidentally doxxed themselves— Fans were shook: “The sugar I’ve been getting high on was fed to me by the real deal?! This isn’t fanfic—it’s Zhouzhou’s diary! It’s documentary literature!” After seriously reading the very NSFW fanfics, Qin Yancheng remarked flatly: “You like it like this? Then we can make all of it reality.” Shi Zhou, blushing and scrambling into a corner: “Fck! Stay back!!” Sickly, Psycho White Moonlight Bigshot Gong × Silly, Salty-Sweet Cannon Fodder Shou

My Thoughts on The Sickly Bigshot’s Favorite Salted Fish [Showbiz]
Alright, let's dive into "The Sickly Bigshot’s Favorite Salted Fish [Showbiz]". With a title like that, I knew I was in for something a little…different, and I wasn't disappointed. This novel is a fun blend of comedy, showbiz drama, and sweet romance, and it kept me entertained from beginning to end.
First Impressions
The premise is classic transmigration fare, but with a twist. Our MC, a CEO who died in a car accident, wakes up as a cannon fodder actor in a dog-blood novel. Instead of playing the game, he decides to live his dream of being an actor and accidentally seduces the sickly white moonlight ML. It's a recipe for chaos and, thankfully, a lot of laughs. The novel immediately throws you into the deep end of the showbiz world, and I found myself quickly invested in the MC's attempts to navigate this new life.
What Works Well
The humor is definitely a highlight. The MC is genuinely funny, without the comedy feeling forced or overdone. He's ditzy and carefree, a refreshing change from his past life as a serious CEO. I especially enjoyed his interactions with the ML, which are full of hilarious misunderstandings and sweet moments. The ML, despite being sickly, is a total green flag. He's supportive and protective of the MC, and their relationship is the heart of the story. The author did a great job balancing the lighthearted comedy with the more emotional aspects of the story. Both the MC and ML have tragic pasts, and their journey of healing and supporting each other is genuinely touching. I also appreciated how the novel explores the MC's desire to live a more fulfilling life, free from the pressures of his previous existence.
Areas of Concern
While I mostly enjoyed the MC's personality, I can see how some might find his childish behavior a bit grating at times. He's 23, but sometimes acts younger, which might not appeal to all readers. Also, if you're expecting a ton of actual "showbiz" content, you might be slightly disappointed. The focus is more on the MC and ML's relationship and their daily interactions, rather than the nitty-gritty details of the entertainment industry.
Final Verdict
Overall, "The Sickly Bigshot’s Favorite Salted Fish [Showbiz]" is a delightful and easy read. If you're looking for a funny, heartwarming, and low-stakes novel with a sweet romance, I highly recommend giving it a try. It's a perfect palate cleanser and a great way to spend a few hours. Just be prepared for some childish antics and a whole lot of fluff!
