It’s currently 9:30 in the evening, and it’s been an hour and a half since the revival round voting began.

Without a doubt, “The Strongest Screenwriter” has dominated all the trending topics on the Empire Entertainment website. Yan Yue had experienced a similar situation in a different world…

Back then, the situation was a bit different:

【Refuse the bundling, thank you! Ms. Yan, please learn to walk independently!】

【Attention Qin’s fans!!! Don’t vote for this bundled actress!! Otherwise, she’ll only become more extreme in the next round!!】

Posts like these were popping up one after another. However, under these posts, many people who had watched the entire film rushed to the defense:

【Huh? Did the OP even watch the main film? Anyone who’s watched the main film knows that it fits the theme perfectly, right? If you want war, there’s war. If you want hatred, there’s hatred. And all the plot arrangements make perfect sense. What’s with these borderline soft-porn suggestions? What’s your mindset?】

【Those saying there’s no war, did they miss the intense fight between our female lead and her future mother-in-law? Those saying there’s no hatred, did they not find our female lead’s revenge satisfying enough? Plus, the male lead’s mother getting tricked and defrauded, then ending up in a pig slaughter scam… What’s wrong with some explicit scenes? It’s just some soft porn, and they’re even giving away millions for a touch!】

【I’m dying of laughter. Who is this? Turns out it’s the fans of xxx and xx. No wonder they’re babbling here. So, you’re afraid that Yan Yue will steal the revival spot of your favorite, huh? Let’s be real, Yan Yue’s earlier works weren’t that great, but your favorite isn’t that impressive either, right?】

【Hey, why didn’t you include fans of “Love-Cut Love”? Are we not worthy? [/pouting]】

【A little background: Yan Yue received criticism after pushing out Teacher Xiao You. Although her previous works were mediocre, compared to the eliminated contestants, hers at least had well-crafted visuals. As for Qin Zhenyun’s fans, I now understand why the harmonious live chat suddenly became chaotic with a bunch of rabid dogs biting everywhere. It turns out Qin Zhenyun was promoting Yan Yue’s work. Should I say it? Even if you, Love-Cut Love’s fans, don’t promote, anyone with a discerning eye knows how Yan Yue’s work is in this round…】

【I, the tap water, must say that anyone who has seen “Dominant Son-in-Law” couldn’t possibly say such things. Just talking about the creation of the android characters, Yan Yue has already taken the lead in this revival round! The camera work, visuals, and the brief appearance of the empty realm were all exceptionally beautiful! And if it really didn’t fit the theme, the specialized jury would have rejected it long ago, so how could it be released?】

【You can criticize Yan Yue, but you can’t criticize my “Dominant Son-in-Law”!!! This film is currently in my top three! I’ve already started looking for substitutes for my meals!】

666, who was originally quite upset, saw so many people speaking up for Yan Yue…

Wait, more precisely, speaking up for “Dominant Son-in-Law.” 666 couldn’t help but recall what Yan Yue had said before, “The key is to stand firm with your skills.”

When you produce good works, naturally, people who appreciate your work will stand by your side and speak up for you. “Dominant Son-in-Law” might seem like a cheesy soap opera, but both the actors’ performances and the plot of the film itself are remarkable, not to mention Yan Yue’s outstanding use of camera and language.

And all of this was achieved by Yan Yue in less than twenty-four hours.

The internet users who had previously questioned Yan Yue’s lackluster performance in the live chat, after seeing the exquisitely designed androids in her work, briefly questioned their own life choices. This even led to a trending topic about whether Yan Yue’s mental power was A-level or S-level.

In short, it was very lively, everywhere was bustling.

Seeing this, 666 started to have some thoughts: 【Boss, should we take advantage of this excitement and expose Love-Cut Love’s true colors? His fans are going too far! And he just pretended to care about you earlier, the oil almost splashed onto me!】

“Ha ha,” said Yue Yan, laughing, “Why are you so inconsistent?”

Just let the haters call Qingqing, it’s fine. Qin Zhiyun’s fans can’t possibly spew their enthusiasm onto a system like me.

“Let’s not mess around for now. We can find a way to teach him a lesson after we advance in the revival competition.” Yue Yan believed it wasn’t the right time yet. Qin Zhiyun’s fans were numerous, and while she had some supporters now, most of them were focused on appreciating her work and defending it. Getting involved in matters unrelated to her work could only lead to her being overwhelmed by Qin Zhiyun’s fans.

666 was discouraged once again, feeling even more frustrated and aggrieved than the person at the center of this situation.

Seeing this, Yue Yan helplessly redirected 666’s attention by showing them some fan-made videos.

It had to be said, the speed of the Star Netizens was impressive. The selected contestants’ works had only been online for about two hours, yet not only Yue Yan, but also the other revival competitors had numerous fan-made videos flooding the fan-editing channels.

Empire Entertainment’s website had a dedicated section for fan-made videos. Here, people could freely share their creations, but of course, they needed the original writer’s permission.

“The Strongest Scriptwriter” had initially collaborated with the fan-editing section, after all, it was all under Empire Entertainment’s umbrella. Therefore, any work from “The Strongest Scriptwriter” was automatically available for fan-editing.

Currently, the most viewed videos in the fan-editing section were related to “Elle’s Revenge” and “Interstellar Love and Death: The Overbearing Son-in-law Fell in Love with Me.”

Yue Yan roughly browsed through them and noticed that the titles made by Star Netizens were more over-the-top than her own.

【Shipping CP in the Revenge Drama!!! OMG!!! These details prove he really loves her!! Su Zhen x Han Daqiang】

【A tribute to Han Cheng: Who could resist loving Han Cheng! He’s truly amazing!】

【Didn’t anyone notice Lie Yanzhe? Although, even so! He’s so handsome that I’m weak in the knees! Yue Yan is just too good at portraying androids!!】

【This video showcases the appearance of all the characters in Overbearing Son-in-law!】

【Su Zhen x Han Cheng: No one can stop me from shipping the official couple!】

Yue Yan casually watched a few videos and found that most of them were quite typical. They mostly reused scenes from the original work, creating cuts for couples or individual characters. Although it lacked innovation, it still flowed well. Despite this, the videos had high play rates, comment counts, and donations. Yue Yan looked up the earnings and realized that both the views and donations contributed to her actual income.

Glancing at her dwindling account balance, Yue Yan began to hatch a plan!

Half an hour later, the fan-editing section suddenly featured three videos with unusually “mysterious” thumbnails and titles…

After posting the videos, Yue Yan stepped out of her creative space. At that moment, she heard a knock on the door. “Yue Yan, are you there?” It was Su Manman’s voice.

Yue Yan glanced at the time. It was almost dawn. Why would Su Manman be looking for her now?

When she opened the door, Yue Yan saw not only Su Manman but also An Xiaoyu, who was always by Su Manman’s side, as well as Shuishui, one of the top five contestants in the competition. There were also two other contestants who participated in the revival round with her. One of them was the scriptwriter for “Elle’s Revenge,” Wu Hua, whom she had just paired up in the fan-made video.

Everyone exchanged glances, and in the end, Su Manman spoke up first. “Yue Yan, I managed to secure a reservation at DK Restaurant. Would you like to join us?”

Su Manman had a gentle appearance and temperament. A slight smile from her made people feel incredibly affable. However, her gaze seemed a bit evasive, as if she was… hiding something?

Of course, Yue Yan didn’t miss the subtle expression on Su Manman’s face. She didn’t show any sign of it, but in her mind, she was questioning the purpose of the female lead’s sudden invitation. “What’s going on? Why is the female lead suddenly inviting me for a meal? Is there any plot involving me, this supporting character, behind this?”

Quickly, 666 provided her with an answer:【There’s no related plot… Perhaps it’s just a gathering of the female contestants by the production team?】

Just as 666 finished guessing, Wu Hua stepped forward excitedly, saying, “Come with us, Yue Yan! It’s hard to get a reservation at DK Restaurant. Don’t you find drinking nutrient fluid every day boring? I heard they have a hotpot series tonight! Do you know what hotpot is? It’s a delicious dish from ancient China! Also, we just finished the competition today, so it’s a good idea to go out and relax.”

After Wu Hua spoke, she gave a subtle look to An Xiaoyu, as if signaling her to say something.

An Xiaoyu originally didn’t want to come. After being hinted at by everyone to invite Yue Yan, she wore a clear expression of reluctance. Just as she was about to reluctantly invite Yue Yan for the sake of today’s purpose, Yue Yan turned around and returned to her resting room. However, within three seconds, Yue Yan appeared in front of them again.

Before An Xiaoyu could utter her words of rebuke, Yue Yan, who had her access card ready, beamed and said, “What are you waiting for? Let’s go.”

An Xiaoyu: “…”

Yue Yan smiled playfully. She had been looking forward to eating hotpot. After two days of drinking nutrient fluid, her taste buds were craving something flavorful.

However, it was evident that this group of people had an agenda. It might not be so easy for her to freeload this meal.

Sure enough, just as she settled down, Su Manman and the others began their praises. First, they commended her work for its innovation, then they praised her skill in crafting the lifelike androids. For a full ten minutes, Su Manman talked about her script, cinematography, and dialogue, and not once did the words of admiration repeat.

Yue Yan squinted her phoenix eyes. My, oh my, did the female lead want to boost her up like this?!

With a cold smile, Yue Yan had already formulated several strategies in her mind. She couldn’t afford to let her guard down!

It wasn’t until Su Manman wrapped up her speech in the fifteenth minute and asked her, “So, Yue Yue, will Su Zhen end up with Han Cheng in the end?”

Yue Yan, with a piece of tripe almost in her mouth: “?”

Su Manman blinked her eyes innocently.

The other four batted their eyelashes and had sincere expressions.

Prepared with countless responses, Yue Yan found herself at a loss: “…………”

What was she being cautious about, after all?!

Coincidentally, the group of five in front of her kept bombarding her with questions:

“Will Su Zhen choose Han Daqiang?”

“I still think Han Cheng is better. Su Zhen should choose Han Cheng, right?”

“But is Han Cheng in love with Su Zhen’s daughter, or with Su Zhen herself?”

“Will Lie Yanzhe face consequences?”

“What about Su Zhen’s kidney failure? Can it be cured?”

Seeing Yue Yan not speaking for a while, Su Manman grew impatient. “Yue Yue, why aren’t you saying anything?”

The other four were also getting anxious. “Yue Yue, say something! Yue Yue!”

Yue Yan stared at the gossip team in front of her and inexplicably saw a sense of clear foolishness in their eyes…

Her: “…”

I, who was cautiously prepared for you, have become a joke :).

Author’s Note:

Su Manman and the others use their ultimate move against Yue Yan—sincerity!

Yue Yan: “…………”
