“I just don’t get it—what’s so entertaining about a series like this?”
“A guy turning into a girl, is that really supposed to be interesting?”
“I think it’s completely illogical. This is just nonsense!”
Wen Yan vented her frustrations about the Crown Princess drama with great annoyance.
“I’m not criticizing Bai Ling personally, it’s just that this show shouldn’t be this way!”
Wen Yan emphasized her point.
Ou Qianqin nodded. “Yes, I know, you’re just expressing your thoughts objectively. I agree with you.”
“There are definitely problems with the premise of this series. I should give some feedback about it.”
Wen Yan said, “What do you mean, feedback?”
Ou Qianqin quickly caught herself. “Oh, nothing, don’t mind me. Go on, I’m listening.”
For the next hour, she barely kept up a half-hearted conversation with Wen Yan.
To put it plainly, Wen Yan just kept complaining, pouring out her grievances.
She recounted how hard her journey had been, how Bai Ling had effortlessly snatched away everything that rightfully belonged to her.
As for the Crown Princess, its popularity was utterly senseless—how could such a show compare to her dedication?
How could it compare to her hard work?
She was convinced that it was only because Zhuge Ming and Ouyang Ruofeng were so talented that Bai Ling managed to ride their coattails and enjoy a wave of popularity.
In short, it was simply unfair!
It wasn’t about Bai Ling—anyone in that position would become famous.
Besides, if just one series could wash away all the negative rumors about Bai Ling, wasn’t that letting her off too easily?
That couldn’t be right!
She even started ranting that the current netizens had the memory of goldfish—seven seconds and everything was forgotten!
All in all, she rambled on and on, but Ou Qianqin didn’t remember much of it.
She wasn’t idle, though. She took the opportunity to send out a few text messages.
A dozen minutes later, Ou Qianqin smiled at Wen Yan and said, “Sweetheart, don’t be upset.”
“I’ve always believed in you. Frankly, I think you have more potential to become a superstar than Bai Ling.”
“Why don’t we check the public opinion now? Maybe the netizens aren’t as forgetful as you think?”
With that, Ou Qianqin unlocked her phone.

Sure enough, new trending topics had appeared.
“Vulgar trash like this shouldn’t be popular!”
“Messing with male and female personalities—shows like this just lower the bar!”
“What’s wrong with online dramas these days? Time for a crackdown!”
These topics had all appeared within the last ten minutes and were climbing the trending list at lightning speed, even surpassing the previous hot topics.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see there was something odd about it.
But Wen Yan paid no mind to the details.
As these topics surfaced, she immediately clicked in to read the comments.

“I’ve never seen a web series as disgusting as Crown Princess!”
“How do these online dramas get approved anyway? Such vulgar trash actually makes it to the screen?”
“As a total outsider, I clicked in just out of curiosity and was left utterly speechless. What era are we in, and people still make stuff like this? Do the creators even think?”
“To be honest, I really don’t understand what people like these days. Am I the only one who finds this show revolting?”
“Nothing more to say—folks, we need to clean up the internet. Let’s take this down together!”
“Exactly, let’s do it!”
“Bai Ling’s drama is as nauseating as she is.”
“Those numbers are so high—Bai Ling’s fans must be working overtime.”
“Oh, please. Does Bai Ling really have that many loyal fans? A million or two is already a stretch. Does anyone really believe she has seven or eight million fans?”
“Right! Buying fake followers is the norm for celebrities now. Ninety percent of that seven or eight million is fake.”
“Obviously! Crown Princess is boosting its numbers—so fake.”
“Remember the previous scandals? Bai Ling and her team are clearly desperate, trying to use this release to make a comeback. We can’t let them!”
“Exactly. Giving her more chances would only hurt the entertainment industry. We want to see real talent, not Bai Ling!”
“Let’s all do our part and report this. Vulgar content shouldn’t exist!”
As Wen Yan read these comments, her smile wasn’t overly blatant, but the light in her eyes said it all.
Then, out of curiosity, she searched for Crown Princess.
But when she tried to open it, it was already taken down—a 404 error.
Her smile broke free, blooming uncontrollably.
Beside her, Ou Qianqin felt a chill run down her spine.

Indeed, some people are best not provoked. Luckily, her years in the industry had given her sharp instincts, and she was firmly standing on the “righteous” side.
As for Ge Fenfen, that foolish woman wasn’t nearly as clever.
Comeback? Not a chance!
It wouldn’t be long now—Bai Ling and Ge Fenfen alike would be driven out of the industry completely.
As time passed, the removal of Crown Princess sparked an almost terrifying storm.
Countless voices of outrage erupted, and criticism targeting Bai Ling and the show flooded in.

“Bai Ling, get out of showbiz!”
“The show was taken down after being reported—do we really need to question what’s wrong with her?”
“Hurry up and quit already! Still trying to make money? Not a chance!”
“The entertainment scene is a mess—how does someone like Bai Ling even survive?”
“Anyone who keeps praising Bai Ling’s talent should open their eyes. She’s nothing but a fake persona, just like those ‘can’t gain weight’ or ‘straight-A student’ images—easily punctured!”
“The show being yanked is proof enough!”

Bai Ling and Ge Fenfen sat in silence in their hotel room.
Nearby, Ouyang’s phone was on speaker, but the air was thick with stillness.
“What do we do now?”
After a long silence, Ouyang finally spoke.
Bai Ling shook her head helplessly. “What can we do?”
She had thought that once the show aired, things would calm down. No matter how hard her path was from now on, she could at least keep going.
Now, it seemed she’d been naive.
She underestimated the luck of the so-called chosen heroine, believing everything could be resolved fairly and legally.
But now, it had all come crashing down.
Their happiness had lasted less than half a day—now the show was gone.
