Description
Qin Jiaojiao wakes up to find herself transformed into the female supporting character with the same name in a book. In the original text, the male and female leads become internet sensations due to their variety show, being dubbed the “Sweetest Wealthy Couple.” She and her husband serve as a comparison group to highlight the affectionate relationship of the main couple. The female lead, as a star, falls in love and has a flash marriage with the male lead, making everyone envious of her for marrying into a wealthy family, having a mother-in-law who treats her like a daughter, and a handsome, rich husband. In contrast, Qin Jiaojiao is a cannon fodder supporting character from a wealthy family, lacking a career and ability, with a mother-in-law and father-in-law who look down on her, and a husband who is indifferent to her. After the dating variety show airs, she will constantly sabotage herself out of jealousy towards the female lead, embarrassing herself in various situations, ultimately being abandoned by her husband and expelled from the wealthy family, leading to a tragic end. Qin Jiaojiao unexpectedly learns that her marriage with her husband is a contractual one, with a divorce settlement of 10 billion. Qin Jiaojiao: 10 billion?!! What am I doing in this variety show? I could just be a salted fish, lying flat, taking the money to travel the world, buying islands and yachts, watching shows from the front row, and attending high-end parties! Rumors circulate in the industry that Qin Jiaojiao and her husband have a troubled relationship, and her mother-in-law disapproves. However, after the show airs, everyone realizes they were mistaken. Zhou Shaoli personally accompanies Qin Jiaojiao abroad to watch shows, auctions off rare treasures for her, and her mother-in-law designs dazzling jewelry for her, with the whole family pampering her. After the variety show ends, Qin Jiaojiao deeply regrets that she unknowingly bent for male beauty, and her 10 billion assets have turned into bubbles. Zhou Shaoli: The family assets are all yours, including me. Qin Jiaojiao: Owning assets worth 100 billion isn’t bad either. ① The male and female leads are not perfect. ② A light-hearted sweet story with no logic, focusing on the sweet CP (couple pairing) plot.

My Thoughts on The Wealthy Comparison Group is a Salted Fish in the Dating Variety Show
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because I just finished reading "The Wealthy Comparison Group is a Salted Fish in the Dating Variety Show," and I've got thoughts. This novel is a fluffy, feel-good read that definitely leans into the "pampering" and "sweet romance" categories. If you're looking for something low-stakes and easy to breeze through, this might be right up your alley.
First Impressions
Going in, I was intrigued by the "salted fish" MC concept. The idea of a protagonist who just wants to chill and avoid drama while participating in a dating show? Sign me up! The initial chapters definitely delivered on that promise, and I found myself chuckling at the MC's laid-back approach to, well, everything. The premise is fun, and the setting within a reality TV show adds an interesting layer of meta-commentary.
What Works Well
The main strength of this novel lies in its central romance. The male lead is truly a green flag – respectful, doting, and genuinely interested in the MC's well-being. I especially appreciated the emphasis on communication between the two. Potential conflicts are addressed head-on, and they actually talk through their issues like mature adults. This is a breath of fresh air in a genre often filled with misunderstandings and unnecessary drama. The ML’s possessiveness is acknowledged but never becomes toxic, which is a definite plus. The side characters, especially the ML's secretary and their girlfriend, also added a lot of humor and charm to the story. Their over-the-top reactions to the main couple's interactions were consistently entertaining.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the overall story, there were a few aspects that held it back from being a complete slam dunk. I did feel that the MC's "salted fish" persona sometimes bordered on passivity. While it's refreshing to see a protagonist who isn't constantly seeking conflict, I would have liked to see her take a more active role in certain situations. Also, the world-building could have been stronger. The MC's past life felt underdeveloped and a bit unnecessary.

Final Verdict
Overall, "The Wealthy Comparison Group is a Salted Fish in the Dating Variety Show" is a lighthearted and enjoyable read, perfect for anyone looking for a sweet romance with a doting male lead and a low-key female lead. While it has some flaws, the positive aspects, such as the healthy relationship dynamics and comedic side characters, ultimately outweigh the negatives. I'd give it a solid 3.5/5 stars. It's not going to change your life, but it will definitely provide a few hours of pleasant escapism.
