A variety show was usually recorded one week or half a month earlier and would be broadcasted at a set time of the week. Soon, it was the release of the episode of <Xing Guang Cui Can> that Yan Xi pre-recorded with her movie crew.
On this day, she didn’t have any work arrangements. She got a good nap, and not long after she woke up, she was thrown back to the bed by Gong Yun Ting who came in uninvited, having yet another exhilarating brawl. When it was the golden time of eight o’ clock, Yan Xi turned on the television on time. She leaned in Gong Yun Ting’s embrace to watch this episode together with him.
Just like what Chun Jie had mentioned, the interactions with her at the live shooting scene was very little, and the edited footage of her was also so less that it was pitiful.
In Yan Xi’s perspective, suicide and losing her memory was the same as rebirth. As for that scar that remained on her wrist from slitting it, it was like the divider between her past life and her present life. Naturally, she would perceive this first variety show that she’d join after she lost her memory as more important.
Yan Xi’s face didn’t express any emotions but Gong Yun Ting could still see through her mind. His slender fingers brushed across her black hair and asked: “You’re disappointed.”
“Not really, Chun Jie said this was the best arrangement.” Gong Yun Ting believed in Chun Jie. Yan Xi was the same.
Gong Yun Ting touched Yan Xi’s head and told her: “Later you’ll know what kind of arrangement it is.”
“Later?” Yan Xi was suddenly curious. In Gong Yun Ting’s eyes, she was as smart and sly as a blue-eyed cat right now.

……
Those were mostly comments that would steer Yan Xi in a good direction. There were occasionally excessive scoldings and recollections of the past by Chen Man Xi’s fans mixed in between, but she was already used to these.
Yan Xi passed the phone back to Gong Yun Ting: “The arrangement that you mentioned was this?”
She didn’t need to guess to know that the public opinions were directed by high-quality keyboard warriors that were hired at a high price.
“Smart.” Gong Yun Ting said: “I’ve asked someone to analyze your weibo. Aside from the keyboard warriors and the accusers siding with Chen Man Xi, there were still a small number of fans. Although they were not quality fans, they can accumulate to become more. We need to put you down first before raising you up afterwards, so now is the time to make you seem ‘being tortured’. You need to endure some criticisms first, wait until <Qing Shi Ming Yue> is released, your beauty and acting will naturally attract people to follow you. It’s not important whether they are fans or anti-fans, the most important thing is to make the public opinion ‘feel bad’ for you.”
Yan Xi sat at the side of the bed and looked at the man in front of her quietly. She suddenly thought that being a playboy was just his image. His brain and strategies could probably compete with his uncle Gong Yun Ting.
“Talking about that, <Qing Shi Ming Yue> is going to start broadcasting next Friday, right?”
“Yes.”
“Then…” Gong Yun Ting pulled Yan Xi into his hug, pecking her lips with a naughty smile: “Let’s wait for the good show.”
A double meaning behind his words.
……
When <Qing Shi Ming Yue> was about to broadcast, a wave of rebukes grew on the internet again. Needless to say, it was naturally because Chen Man Xi’s fans were unhappy with her “multiple evil acts” towards Chen Man Xi, so they posted her “black history” on the internet again, demanding for Yan Xi to get out of the entertainment circle, then called for all citizens to boycott <Qing Shi Ming Yue> that she acted in as the female lead, a role that she snatched by rigging the rules.
They even asked the internet drama website that held the exclusive copyright to take down the drama.
But these rebukes were still considered going viral. As compared to black and white or good and evil, the entertainment circle prioritized popularity more, which brought in the views.
Hence, in the midst of rebukes and calls for boycott, <Qing Shi Ming Yue> welcomed its first broadcast.
On the night of the first broadcast, Yan Xi was terribly anxious.
She sat in front of the television with Xiao Qi who came to celebrate with her. They watched the first broadcast, especially her detailed facial expressions, but Xiao Qi paid more attention to Yan Xi’s beauty while Yan Xi paid more attention to her own acting.
The internet platform would only upload it after the drama ended. Yan Xi sat in front of the television to finish watching the first two episodes of <Qing Shi Ming Yue>, then she opened her ipad to watch it again. But before she began watching it, she mustered her courage to open the bullet screen…
Surprisingly, not all comments on the bullet screen were chiding her.
Even if the company hired someone to write the comments, there would still be one or two viewers that accepted her, right? Yan Xi thought this way.
“That’s right, Xi Jie you have the acting skills. You played two different roles and acted out the feelings of two completely different people!” Xiao Qi automatically ignored those negative comments and grabbed her phone, joining the army of the bullet screen to post continuously: “Xi Jie is so pretty, Xi Jie go! Go! Go!”
