Female Partner Became Popular in a Love Show - Chapter 143

The next morning, Ruan Qiu crawled out of bed with dark circles under her eyes, and opened the door for Sister Lin. Sister Lin was startled and asked, “What did you do last night?!”

Ruan Qiu blankly replied, “I really like him…”

Sister Lin: ?

After learning the truth, Sister Lin was speechless for a moment before poking Ruan Qiu’s forehead. Ruan Qiu snapped back to reality, glancing at the CP thread. She sat upright on the sofa, outwardly listening to Sister Lin, but inwardly lost in thought, recalling the fans’ highlights of her and Xue Wu’s memorable moments, along with fifteen pieces of evidence for their love.

The thread was filled with pictures and text.

Having been fed the idea of “Xue Wu loves her so much” and “she loves Xue Wu so much” all night, Ruan Qiu hazily felt as if she had been married to Xue Wu for decades. No, it was as if they had known each other in a past life, loving each other passionately, and in this life, they were destined to be together again, even in the next life.

“Do you understand now?”

Ruan Qiu blinked. “Huh?”

Sister Lin helplessly said, “You see the trending topic about you on your phone? We’ve already managed to push it down a few ranks.”

Ruan Qiu opened her phone and checked the trending topics she hadn’t had time to look at last night.

This wasn’t her first time trending; since participating in the show, she often made it onto the trending list. However, this time, the topic was clearly negative, filled with doubt and malicious intent, aimed at stirring up trouble.

As she saw the words #Ruan Qiu fakes her fighting skills#, she frowned and continued scrolling through the comments.

The controversy started when a video editor with a million fans, known as “The Editor of Bad Movies”, released a new compilation video last night. The video included all her martial arts scenes from the start of her career, sourced from the dramas she acted in, as well as from the dating show she was recently in.

The video was well-produced, with smooth transitions and well-timed music, quickly attracting a large audience. However, as people watched, they noticed a stark disconnect between Ruan Qiu’s fighting skills before participating in “Please Date Me” and her current abilities, making it seem as though she wasn’t the same person.

As the comments grew, the hashtag #Ruan Qiu fakes her fighting skills# climbed in popularity. Some argued that even if Ruan Qiu had faced online bullying and stepped out of the public eye for six months, it was impossible to develop such skills in just half a year.

More people began to dig up Ruan Qiu’s previous works, comparing them to her current self and discovering that she appeared more confident and expressive now.

The situation escalated when an obscure young star claimed to be Ruan Qiu’s former classmate, asserting that she didn’t know any martial arts back then and her personality was completely different.

Ruan Qiu silently observed these comments while Sister Lin watched her reaction, initially wanting to ask something but ultimately kept her mouth shut.

Ruan Qiu had her secrets. Since she didn’t want to share, Sister Lin wouldn’t pry; she just needed to fulfill her role as a manager and help Ruan Qiu resolve this issue.

So Sister Lin said, “Ruan Ruan, let’s just let this cool off. They haven’t seen you for six months; it’s normal for you to seem like a different person. Let them say what they want; after all, you’re still the same person, and they won’t find any evidence to prove otherwise.”

Ruan Qiu bit her lip. “Yeah.”

She had long considered that people might discover she wasn’t the original Ruan Qiu.

Letting it cool down was the best approach; after all, she would be retiring from the industry soon, and these issues wouldn’t bother her for long.

Sister Lin was about to get up and leave when she received a call from the PR team.

Her expression shifted to serious, surprised at first, and then she said fiercely, “Good one, Yang Cheng! Just wait; I’ll make sure he regrets this!!”

After hanging up, Sister Lin took a deep breath and turned to Ruan Qiu, who looked puzzled. “Your former manager, Yang Cheng, has leaked information. He admitted that you and the current version of yourself are completely different. He’s known as your former manager online, and now the trending topic has reached the top. We can’t just let this go.”

“Yang Cheng wouldn’t just leak this for no reason,” Sister Lin analyzed quickly. “He doesn’t have any conflicting resources with the artist he’s managing now, so someone must have paid him to do this—just like the paparazzi before.”

Sister Lin was so angry she grabbed her hair tightly. “It has to be Cheng Tianya! It must be her!”

Meanwhile, Cheng Tianya was watching the trending topic, scrolling through the malicious comments, a slow smile creeping onto her face.

However, when she saw the comment “Could Ruan Qiu be someone who has crossed over?”, her smile froze, turning sinister and manic.

Yes, Ruan Qiu might very well be like her—a person who had crossed over.

“This explains everything,” Cheng Tianya murmured. “No wonder she’s so popular. She must have known the plot and exchanged points for things, deliberately stealing the spotlight from the female lead, opposing me. How did I not think of this sooner… System! Where are you?! Didn’t you say that you were the only system in this world?”

The Movie Queen System was equally shocked.

It couldn’t be! How could Ruan Qiu be a person who crossed over? Moreover, headquarters said they had deployed only its system for this experiment…

While Cheng Tianya was losing her mind over the system, Sister Lin was pacing the room, instructing the legal department to quickly sue Yang Cheng for defamation and demanding to know who paid him off and who gave him the instructions.

Ruan Qiu sat silently on the sofa. She had seen the highly upvoted comment suggesting she had crossed over and paused, closing her phone.

Sister Lin anxiously stared at her phone screen when suddenly, she had a bright idea and quickly approached Ruan Qiu, saying, “Just when I was worried, this invitation from the Martial Arts Association is perfect timing!”

Sister Lin handed her phone to Ruan Qiu, excitedly explaining, “The Martial Arts Association contacted us and asked if you could attend their variety show as a guest, showcasing your martial arts skills. They’ll pay you according to your market value and help promote your image!”

“If you decide to go, remember to briefly mention who you learned your skills from. This is a great opportunity to clarify the trending topic,” Sister Lin continued. “The legal department is already preparing to sue Yang Cheng. Once he apologizes and the variety show airs, those rumors will be disproved!”
