Shocking! The actress was dragged to the regent's bedchamber every night.

Su Wuli's gaze fell upon the screen, which displayed the Weibo trending topics list.

An entry is currently ranked in the teens.

#Su Wuli's performance was questioned face-to-face by fans of the original novel at the start of filming#

Clicking on it leads to a short video filmed on-site.

The footage clearly shows her getting out of the car and walking to the entrance security checkpoint.

In the video, the faces and voices of the original fans holding signs outside the quarantine zone were deliberately magnified, making them sound particularly jarring.

The text accompanying the video.

On the opening day of filming for "The Lady in the Flames of War," lead actress Su Wuli faced a boycott from fans of the original novel. The fans were emotional, stating that she was unworthy of the role. What are your thoughts on this?

The comment section has exploded; dozens of new comments flood in every time you refresh the page.

The top-rated comment is from a prominent account; while the tone appears objective, it is clearly biased.

[The feelings of fans of the original work are understandable. After all, Ulan Zhu is many people's ideal woman. It is a basic requirement for actors to fit the role. If they do not even have basic horsemanship and archery skills, it is indeed hard to believe them.]

The post has already received over 10,000 likes, with many netizens agreeing and others holding differing opinions.

[Can't you learn to ride a horse if you can't ride one? Are you rushing to condemn an ​​actor before they've even started filming? What's the difference between those shouts in the video and cyberbullying?]

[Have you forgotten about Su Wuli being bullied before? What is this now? Another form of bullying?]

[Is telling the truth considered bullying? If she acted well, who would criticize her?]

[This is ridiculous. She hasn't even started acting yet, and they're already criticizing her? What's the fundamental difference between her and those people from her school back then?]

Su Wuli is truly pitiful. She gets scolded but can't talk back. Talking back means she's being overly sensitive, and not talking back means she agrees. Either way, she's wrong.

[I think that's pretty bold; that "we'll see" line is quite interesting.]

[Come on, that's called being tough? Your voice was so soft you could barely hear you; I think you were just feeling guilty.]

Some people are so hypocritical, so incredibly harsh on actresses. What if they were the opposite gender?

Comments scrolled by rapidly, with likes and replies steadily increasing.

The voices of support and opposition were evenly matched, and the argument raged on.

The topic's popularity continues to climb.

Su Yuan swiped her fingers across the screen, her face puffed up with anger.

"How could these people be like this? They were the ones who started the trouble first."

Lin Liwen took the phone from Su Yuan and quickly scrolled through the videos and main comments.

"It was taken secretly; the angle was very skillfully chosen."

She scoffed and handed the phone back to Su Yuan.

"It's very misleading; it seems someone doesn't want you to boot up too smoothly."

Su Wuli listened to the sharp screams that kept coming from the video.

She subconsciously pursed her lips, her heart feeling as if something had gently squeezed it.

But strangely, it wasn't as uncomfortable or panicked as I had imagined.

She just thought...it was a bit noisy.

They even felt it was just bluffing.

"What do we do now, Sister Wen?" Su Yuan asked anxiously. "Should we have the company issue a statement? Or contact some marketing accounts to guide the discussion? We can't let them remain in the dark like this."

Lin Liwen did not answer immediately.

Su Wuli remained silent, just as her gaze met hers.

Lin Liwen looked at her for a moment, a faint surprise appearing on her face, barely noticeable.

After thinking for a moment, he shook his head.

"We don't need to issue a statement yet. Issuing one now would only push the issue to the forefront, which would play right into their hands."

She let out a heavy breath, glanced at Su Wuli again, and relaxed a little.

"Besides, the video is real, and we can't deny what happened on the spot. The more heated the argument, the better it might not be for you."

Lin Liwen paused, then resumed her businesslike and orderly tone.

"From now on, aside from filming well, in any other situation, try to speak as little as possible. Just maintain the same attitude you had when you faced them at the end of today. Let our performance speak for itself."

"But Sister Wen..." Su Yuan was still unconvinced.

"No buts," Lin Liwen interrupted her.

"Facts speak louder than words. What we need to do now is to get Kiri to produce more performances like today and shut everyone up."

She patted Su Yuan on the shoulder.

"Go and keep in touch with the company's public opinion team, keep an eye on things, and don't argue with netizens, it's pointless."

Su Yuan glanced at Lin Liwen, then at Su Wuli, and bit her lip.

She nodded in agreement, "...Understood, Sister Wen."

Su Wuli watched as she gave instructions, then met Lin Liwen's gaze.

Her tone softened a bit, "Stop looking at your phone, get some rest, we'll continue tomorrow."

She didn't mention the dream again, as if the conversation in the bedroom had never happened.

Su Wuli nodded. "Okay."

Lin Liwen then picked up her bag and turned to leave.

Holding her phone, Su Yuan glanced at Su Wuli with a worried expression before following her out.

The bedroom door was closed again.

Su Wuli sat on the edge of the bed, listening to the sound of the front door opening and closing outside.

The next day, she was woken up by Su Yuan's loud and boisterous voice.

When she rushed into the room with her phone in hand, Su Wuli was still rubbing her eyes, half asleep.

The light filtering through the curtains was a bit too bright.

"Wuli, look! The internet is exploding!" Su Yuan's voice was urgent.

With barely contained excitement, I shoved the phone screen right in front of my eyes.

Su Wuli squinted, adjusting her eyes to the light, before she could see the content on the screen.

Several new terms appeared on the trending search list.

#Su Wuli's Horse Riding and Archery Skills Slap People in the Face#

#Ulanzhubenzhu#

Clicking on it revealed a video taken yesterday.

Su Wuli stared at the screen, somewhat dazed.

However, judging from the angle and image quality, it is clearly not official material.

Su Yuan was already excitedly scrolling through the comments section, muttering to herself.

"Look at this..." she said, unable to suppress her laughter, "...Hahahaha, everyone's praising you, those who were cursing you don't dare to say a word."

Her fingers flew across the screen, and comments flashed before Su Wuli's eyes.

[Wow, is this Su Wuli, the girl I saw yesterday who was criticized for not knowing how to ride a horse? She rides more steadily than I did when I was traveling on the grasslands back then.]

[Hilarious! Where are all those fans who were yelling for a change of actress yesterday? Come out and show yourselves? With this level of acting skill, how many young actresses in the Chinese entertainment industry can you find?]

[Isn't the focus on archery? That was hitting the bullseye with a single arrow! She actually knows how?]

[Shouldn't fans of the original work be secretly thrilled now? Your beloved Ulan Zhu has maxed out her horseback riding and archery skills! This casting is simply divine!]

[Thinking back to those who shouted the loudest in yesterday's video, aren't they embarrassed to the point of digging their toes out of their shells now? Still boycotting? Boycott my foot! This woman is showing her strength!]

So her final "we'll see" yesterday was genuinely based on confidence... I thought she was just being stubborn.

[The pressure is now on the original fans. Yesterday, they went to the event and openly bullied them (yes, I think it was bullying). They didn't retaliate, but then they turned around and used their actions to slap them in the face. Aren't you worried?]

[What's the panic? The production team should be the ones panicking! What if Wu Lizi really doesn't act anymore, and they replace her with someone who can't act or even ride a horse or shoot an arrow? I wonder where those fans of the original work will cry then.]

[I've become a fan! The contrast is amazing. Yesterday I thought she was quite weak, but I didn't expect her to be such a strong and capable person.]

Am I the only one wondering when she secretly started practicing? This level of skill definitely can't be achieved through last-minute cramming...
