Plagued by bad reviews, but the top actress!
Chapter 421 - Chapter 421 Chapter 421 Slap in the Face

Chapter 421: Chapter 421: Slap in the Face Chapter 421: Chapter 421: Slap in the Face Nearly fifty million fans, and she actually lost to a washed-up actress with just over three hundred thousand fans!

And it was the notorious Xia Weibao!

This was like a fierce slap to her face!

Chu Ying’s head was pounding with rage.

If it were any other time, it might not have mattered, but right now was the height of “Deep Palace”‘s popularity, and her peak as well.

Any small incident could be blown out of proportion by people looking for a story.

She scrolled through the Weibo comments and, sure enough, she had been attacked.

Some said her fan base was fake, that all her fans were just zombie followers bought with money.

Millions couldn’t compete with someone else’s several hundred thousand.

The more she read, the more Chu Ying wanted to smash her phone!

“What the hell is going on, why did the fans start fighting out of nowhere!”

The agent glanced at her surreptitiously.

“Last night, didn’t you tell me to buy a Weibo influencer to trash ‘Allure’? This morning, I did just that, and also hired some trolls to start bashing.

The post blew up, and when your fans saw it was connected to you, they went to lash out at Xia Weibao.

But this angered Xia Weibao’s fans, and that started the fight.”

This time, she really ended up losing more than she bargained for.

Who knew that those fans would be so idiotic.

The post was supposed to trash ‘Allure’, why drag Xia Weibao into the mud?

And if you’re going to insult someone, at least don’t do it on their personal Weibo page.

Isn’t that just asking for trouble?

What was even more unexpected was Xia Weibao’s fans’ fierce loyalty. Seeing their idol get attacked, they all came out to fight!

The intensity was terrifying!

Hearing the agent’s explanation, Chu Ying nearly choked on her anger.

A bunch of good-for-nothings!

“Then what, how did we end up losing the fight?”

Nearly fifty million fans, fifty million of them!

And she lost to three hundred thousand, where does that leave her face?

Chu Ying’s chest heaved with fury as she leaned on the armrest of the sofa, weakly massaging her temples.

She was visibly enraged.

‘Allure’ was directed by Xu Jiayang, and all she wanted was to tarnish its reputation, to make sure Xu Jiayang couldn’t recover.

She hadn’t expected things to escalate like this.

Seeing the look on Chu Ying’s face, the agent spoke cautiously.

“Xia Weibao’s fans are too fierce, and they even had a hacker who doxxed several of your fans and exposed them.

They made threats saying they would expose anyone who dares to insult again, scaring them into silence.”

Chu Ying, “…”

Damn it!

Hackers as fans?

“What about my fans then, aren’t there more than fifty million of them, isn’t there even one with computer skills? Isn’t there a single one who will stand up for me?”

The agent was embarrassed, “About that… there really isn’t.”

Anyone with the skills of a hacker wouldn’t bother being a fan.

It seems Xia Weibao alone had that kind of charm.

“Even if not, couldn’t you pay for one?”

“I did.” Bringing this up made the agent feel even more embarrassed.

“I hired three hackers to help, but their skills were inferior to the other side, and they got counter-hacked.

Not only that, but evidence of their past cybercrimes was posted online, and those three are now in police custody.”

That’s exactly why their side’s fans dared not speak a word…

Chu Ying, “…”

Useless!

A bunch of useless people!

“Sister Ying, let’s just let bygones be bygones with this one. The trending topic has already been knocked down; the heat will pass in a couple of days.”

Chu Ying glared furiously, “I can’t swallow this insult!”

The agent frowned slightly, “It’s already in the past, and the most important thing now is ‘Allure’.”

“What about ‘Allure’?” Chu Ying replied dismissively.

A lousy series, what’s there to fear.
