Best friend turned enemy? Marrying the villain, if she runs, I'll run too.

Overwhelmed fans flocked to the official Weibo account of "The Wrongful Conviction" to hurl insults.

[What's going on? Isn't "The Wrongful Conspiracy" a historical suspense crime drama specifically made for my idol? Why wasn't his name mentioned in the official announcement? Did they forget about it? The production team should be held accountable!]

[Who on earth is so shameless as to steal our brother's role? The production team advises you to stop causing trouble and quickly add our brother's name back, otherwise, with your small web series and low-budget production, it's bound to flop.]

[Is there even a need to guess? It must be Li Su pulling the strings behind the scenes. Everyone in the industry knows that this woman is just a rich second-generation who came to the entertainment industry for fun. She has no acting skills, no character, and yet she still has the nerve to squeeze Cheng Youjun out to become the female lead.]

[They turned a perfectly good male-centric historical mystery drama into a female-centric one, just to satisfy the demands of capitalists. Our brother is better off not taking this opportunity.]

[The production team of "The Wrongful Conspiracy" changed the lead actor right before filming began, replacing the male lead with a female lead. They exploited Cheng Youjun's popularity to pave the way for a rich second-generation character with no acting skills and no character. Their behavior is disgusting. Boycott "The Wrongful Conspiracy"! Boycott the production team!]

[The production team must give our actor Youjun an explanation, otherwise we will boycott "The Forensic Examiner" across the entire internet!]

……

When Cheng Youjun's agent saw the uproar on the official Weibo account of "The Wrongful Conspiracy," he immediately told Cheng Youjun with glee.

“Youjun, look! I told you Meng Tang was just asking for trouble. Now everyone knows you’re the go-to leading man for Red Hack Pictures. With Meng Tang’s amateurish acting skills, the reason her previous dramas were so popular was entirely due to your superb acting.”

"Now that she can't win your heart, she tries to attract your attention this way. Now she's getting back at the fans. They made Li Su, a fool with no acting skills, no character, and no popularity, play the female lead. She's really asking for trouble. There's no stopping her."

Cheng Youjun was reading the script for "Ten Thousand Heartbeats" when he heard his agent's words, so he picked up his phone and started reading.

Seeing the fans' comments, Cheng Youjun smiled sneer without any surprise, "Meng Tang only knows how to use these low-class tricks. I told her long ago that it is absolutely impossible for her to make me submit to her and accept her feelings in this way."

"The fire that's burning now isn't strong enough. You should add another flame to it, and direct it towards the idea that Meng Tang and Li Su are trying to get into the industry because they love me but can't have me, so they're using this kind of attention-grabbing tactic to get my attention."

"The director is obsessed with romance, and the female lead has no acting skills. I wonder if this drama can even be filmed. Even if it is filmed, it will inevitably be boycotted by netizens when it airs."

Cheng Youjun's eyes were filled with the satisfaction of revenge: "I want Meng Tang to taste it too. Without me as her male lead, with her laughable directing skills, she would only end up losing everything."

"At that time, she will surely kneel down in front of me, crying, and beg for my forgiveness."

But he would never forgive this attention-seeking woman. Meng Tang had made him look bad these past few days, especially at yesterday's birthday party, where he had fallen right into the cake.

He had never been so humiliated in his life, and it was all Meng Tang's fault.

If he doesn't teach this woman a lesson, he'll change his name!

Agents are experts at generating buzz and creating buzz.

They immediately hired an online troll army to stir up trouble on the official Weibo account of "The Wrongful Conviction Detective".

According to reliable sources, the director and actress of "The Wrongful Conspiracy" were both suitors of Cheng Youjun. They initially entered the entertainment industry to pursue him. If you don't believe me, just look at the works they have directed and acted in; the male lead is always Cheng Youjun.

[It's just that CYJ doesn't like the two of them and has rejected their advances many times. The two of them got angry and, in order to force CYJ to give in, they even conspired to threaten CYJ into accepting them by saying they would kick her out of the crew.]

Unexpectedly, CYJ was extremely stubborn and refused to yield, so she withdrew from the production team. The director realized he had messed things up and had no choice but to let the female lead take over the mess.

Otherwise, don't you think about it? Although CYJ isn't super popular now, he can still be ranked third or fourth, especially in the web drama field, where his popularity is far ahead of the competition.

[Before the official announcement of "The Wrongful Conviction," wasn't CYJ constantly being used for marketing? Why is it that now that filming has started, his name isn't mentioned? That's why.]

Once the post was published, coupled with Cheng Youjun's hiring of online trolls and the purchase of trending topics, the post quickly rose to the top of the search rankings.

Fans were outraged after seeing it, while anonymous bystanders also condemned the production team for their inhumane behavior.

[I was wondering who this woman named Li Su was, so I impulsively searched for her work. She only plays minor, brainless supporting roles. Even with such simple characters, she portrays them in an incredibly cringeworthy way. How can she have the nerve to play the lead role?]

[The person upstairs hasn't figured out the gossip yet. This person brought their own funding team, but their pursuit of love was rejected, CYJ went on strike, and the production team couldn't clean up the mess, so they had to have her replace them.]

[Does this kind of brainless director even deserve to direct dramas? Having seen her previous works, her filming quality and Li Su's acting skills are in sync. If it weren't for CYJ's acting skills saving the day, she would have been banned from the entertainment industry long ago.]

Now look what's happened! These two rotten stones have gotten together to make a cringe-worthy suspense drama. If this show gets aired, I'll be the first to complain to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television to have it banned and taken down.

[Still airing? These two shameless bastards should get out of the entertainment industry and go wreak havoc on other sectors.]

Boycott "The Forensic Heroes"! Boycott the director! Boycott the lead actress, Li Su!

Director Meng Tang, get out of the entertainment industry! Actress Li Su, get out of the entertainment industry!

……

Tong Tong came over anxiously right after the opening ceremony.

"Sister Tang, something terrible has happened! Someone online is deliberately stirring up trouble, slandering you and the production team, saying they want to boycott our show, and even saying they'll make you..."

When it came to the second half of the sentence, Tong Tong hesitated, afraid of affecting Meng Tang's mood.

Meng Tang picked up her phone and saw that the comment section under the official Weibo account of "The Wrongful Conspiracy" was a complete mess.

The post that was pushed to the top, in particular, was so righteous and well-reasoned, it was practically ready to label Meng Tang and Li Su as "dream girls" and "shameless."

Meng Tang laughed at all. "As for Cheng Youjun's actions, he can only hide in the shadows and slander like a rat in a ditch."

"So it was Cheng Youjun who did it. That guy is really despicable. His current status in the web drama industry is all thanks to the hard work and effort you put into promoting him, Sister Tang."

"Now that you've gained some fame, because you, Sister Tang, terminated your cooperation agreement with him on 'The Wrongful Conviction,' he's actually slandering you online like this! It's absolutely outrageous!"

Tong Tong was indignant, but at the same time even more worried.

"But the online uproar is too intense right now. Maybe we should disable the comments on the official Weibo account and spend some money to cool things down. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will affect the filming and post-production promotion."
