Outrageous! Who said my wife is vain?!

"Feed..."

"Xixi, are you still sleeping?" Cheng Yao on the other end of the phone immediately felt relieved, glad she hadn't seen it yet. "Something small happened."

"What is it? What could it be... Don't bother me..." Mingxi rolled over, lay face down on the bed, and put the phone to her ear, listening to her half-asleep.

"Feng Nan's fans insulted one of your fans online, and it even dragged you into it."

"What the hell? Fan wars are normal... I get insulted every day... If you have nothing else to say, I'm hanging up."

"It's not just a regular fan fight. Some of Feng Nan's fans posted online that one of your fans skipped Feng Nan during the clapping segment at the fan meeting the day before yesterday and didn't clap with him."

"If you don't want to film, then don't film. Why are you criticizing that?"

"Don't interrupt me, listen to me." Cheng Yao glared angrily, only realizing after glaring that Ming Xi couldn't see her.

"Mmm, tell me... tell me, hurry up and tell me."

"Besides skipping shots, what else did you do? You deliberately hit Feng Nan's hand and rolled your eyes at him."

"Hahaha! No wonder you're my fan, you've got personality!" Mingxi was already wide awake from her rambling, and she burst out laughing when she heard this.

Hearing his laughter, Cheng Yao rolled her eyes helplessly. "Right now, Feng Nan's fans are hurling insults and 'seeking redress' online, saying that the fan caused Feng Nan great harm and endangered his personal safety. They're demanding an apology, or they'll take necessary measures."

"Ha! Apologize? Why should I apologize! And you even caused great harm? If this is considered harm, then what about Feng Nan deliberately hitting me during filming, leaving bruises on my arm? That's intentional homicide! And with necessary means, what were they trying to do? Kill me?"

Now Mingxi was fully awake. She rubbed her head, sat up, and leaned against the headboard, grumbling.

"Don't interrupt, listen to me. That fan also issued a statement saying that she didn't skip the beat at all. When it was her turn to clap with Feng Nan, the previous fan was still talking to Feng Nan. She wasn't originally going for Feng Nan. She saw that there was no one in front of you, so she went to clap with you. Later, thinking that she couldn't waste her money, she went back to clap with Feng Nan. But she definitely didn't hit his hand. She just touched it lightly and didn't roll her eyes."

Mingxi sighed as if regretting, "Fine, I was wondering who had the guts."

"Myung-hee!"

"Okay, okay, I'll stop talking about it. They've already clarified it. Feng Nan's fans still don't believe it? And they still want to keep attacking?"

"Yes, the comments under that clarification post were really nasty. The funniest thing is that Feng Nan's fans were cursing the whole time, but they just cursed and didn't produce any evidence. When asked, they said that someone saw it at the time, but no one took a picture. It's probably Feng Nan's professional fans who started this trouble, and they've already started cursing you instead of that fan."

"Insult me? How did I offend them by sleeping at home? Some people saw me hitting Feng Nan and rolling my eyes at him, but no one took a picture." Mingxi sneered, speaking sarcastically.

"They said that fan was instigated by you, and they brought up a lot of things from previous filming and live broadcasts, saying how you bullied Feng Nan. In short, this incident was just a pretext for Feng Nan's fans to use it to insult you and spread rumors."

Cheng Yao got angrier and angrier as she spoke, "Feng Nan definitely has professional fans involved. Not only did they create black hashtags and hurl all sorts of insults, but they also bought marketing accounts and trending topics to smear you. Now the hashtag is stuck at the very bottom of the entertainment list. After I told Brother Wang, he didn't care at all. He said things like, 'What great traffic! Let them hurl insults. The more they hurl insults, the more popular it becomes. It makes me so angry.'"

After hearing this, Mingxi was speechless. "You think I ordered it? If I really ordered it, why would I need to hit him? I should just slap him a few times and teach him a lesson for pretending. I should pull out his implants."

"They don't know how strong I am. Just wait until I log in and I'll crush them!"

"Don't forget! Have you forgotten that you used your main account to argue with haters and got a company reprimand? Brother Wang still uses you as a negative example in meetings from time to time."

Cheng Yao called Mingxi because she was afraid that he would make some extreme remarks after seeing those messy things online and make the situation worse.

These kinds of online celebrity feuds happen every day. Fans can insult each other, but if a celebrity gets involved, they're ridiculed as "low-class," "a sore loser," and "petty."

"What negative example? I'm a living, breathing person in the entertainment industry, okay?" Mingxi muttered.

"Whether you're alive or dead, you're not allowed to use your main account to argue, and you shouldn't get involved in fan disputes. You know all about the ups and downs in the entertainment industry and the fan wars. In a few days, no one will mention it anymore. At the last meeting, Brother Wang said that if you post anything random again, the company will take over your account."

Mingxi naturally understood what Cheng Yao was saying. Normally, the company could just hire some online trolls to help the fans wash things out, but his company never cared about that.

If he gets involved, this matter will never end, and no matter what he says, it will be interpreted in various ways.

This is why celebrities almost always pretend not to know about fan wars or trending topics with negative attention. If they ignore it, it will pass in two or three days at most. If they do pay attention, it will lead to a lot of other messy things.

"I understand, no need to emphasize it."

Mingxi was so obedient this time that Cheng Yao couldn't finish her sentence. "Um... then you should rest well at home and don't look at the news online for the next couple of days, so you don't get angry."

Mingxi laughed and said, "I know, you're so concerned. I think you should be my manager."

"I'm working on the verification now, hahaha, there's hope for the near future. Okay, that's all for now, bye-bye."

"Bye-Bye."

After hanging up the phone, Mingxi opened Weibo. How could he not look at it? Checking his social media every day was part of his daily routine as a celebrity.

He usually doesn't read private messages, so I just clicked on the latest blog post, and sure enough, there were a lot of fresh, abusive comments below.

ZeNan_love: Politeness! Good manners! Respect!

The moon is round and full: Apologize! Apologize! Apologize!

Boon: Haha! Like star, like fans. Doesn't your conscience hurt? Nan Nan took such good care of you on set, and this is how you repay him? Apologize! Apologize!

Anxiety Vending Machine: Are all the nobodies this arrogant now? Bullying a senior figure, I've learned something new.

Want Want Rice Cracker: Instead of pulling all these shady moves, why not improve your acting skills? A secondary couple is just a secondary couple; people who use scheming tactics will never become famous.

It's Ze Nan: Just a passerby, stumbled in by mistake. What's going on here? It's all apology posts?

Little Genius Watch: Answering questions from passersby in the comments section, the fan meeting was only held because my main CP (couple pairing) had popularity. As a result, the secondary CP (couple pairing) was jumping around and doing all sorts of weird things to steal the spotlight. They even condoned fans' personal attacks on the main CP. In addition, this person bullied the main CP in various ways during the filming of the drama and in daily business activities. It's really too much.

....

The comments section was filled with insults, attempts to stir up trouble, Mingxi's fans retaliating, and both sides tearing each other apart—it was a complete mess.

Mingxi didn't feel hurt at all after reading it; she just sneered dismissively.

As for the negative hashtag that was paid to be ranked last on the trending list, he didn't even click on it. Instead, he went directly to the super topic to see the wronged fan.

The clarification statement likely included a strong statement that she had reported the incident to the police, posted a receipt, and declared that she would sue everyone who spread rumors about her.

In addition, many fellow fans have been protecting her in the comments section, so her account is currently relatively harmonious.

Almost all the haters went to criticize Mingxi, but thinking about it, it makes sense, since they were originally targeting him anyway, and this incident was just a trigger.

After a moment's thought, Mingxi returned to her account, quickly took screenshots, edited a text message without any profanity, and then sent it, tagging @FengNan @FengNan @FengNan.

Then I happily lay back in bed, planning to take a nap before going to the office to have lunch or dinner with my sweet boyfriend!
