Several images and a video were included below.

The video shows the protagonist from the images dubbing, labelled with Homeward Deer.

Initially, netizens did not take this trending topic seriously.

Homeward Deer was too famous, and many tried to dethrone her.

Periodically, unflattering photos of Homeward Deer would surface, each worse than the last.

But this time, there was a video.

[Fans of Deity Voice from way back, this voice is unmistakably Homeward Deer’s, unmistakable. Her first role had this exact voice, it’s hard to mimic.]

[Not dreams shattered, it’s I’m entirely shattered...]

[So ugly, so ugly, I don’t know how you could ever call her a goddess.]

[Just thinking about such an ugly face voicing such a handsome character makes me want to vomit.]

[Enough said, I’ve thrown up. I was following her, but I’m unfollowing now.]

[Thank goodness she didn’t voice for Gu Zhinan, who only plays beauties. If Homeward Deer did the voice, I’d just see her face, and I couldn’t watch the show anymore.]

With the manipulation by hired trolls, the public opinion was unusually unified, everyone cursing her.

Gleaming Crystal saw this too.

She had thought Homeward Deer was at least average-looking, not expecting this appearance.

Although many fans professed not to care about Homeward Deer’s looks, the leaked photos and video plummeted their expectations, leaving even her staunch supporters unable to accept it.

Gleaming Crystal clicked her tongue in disappointment.

She had never imagined that a voice acting legend like Homeward Deer would fade in such a manner.

It was a case of reaping what one sows.

She was relieved she hadn’t turned down Gu Zhinan’s team.

After all, she was just an ordinary person, unable to compete with Gu Zhinan head-on.

It was just a pity for Homeward Deer.

Yet, Gleaming Crystal didn’t genuinely feel sorry; instead, there was a secret thrill in her heart.

She opened Homeward Deer’s Weibo, and under the latest recruitment post, there was nothing but vitriol.

[Why did you have to show your face? Isn’t it better behind the scenes? Disgusting!]

[I must have been blind to like you. I’m disgusted, you could have just stayed hidden.]

[Boycott Homeward Deer from voicing in ‘The World II’, don’t ruin our proud animation!]

There were also loyal fans and rational supporters holding their ground.

[It’s wrong to judge a girl by her looks alone. Homeward Deer’s talent is evident here; what does it matter what she looks like? I’ll continue to support her no matter what.]

The host received instructions from the organizers.

Today’s New Year’s Show was centered around Si Fuqing.

Handing over the microphone, the host asked, “The New Year is upon us. Teacher Si, do you have any messages for everyone?”

“First of all, I wish everyone a happy New Year’s Eve,” Si Fuqing began with a raised eyebrow and a smile. “A new year and new journeys are about to begin.”

“Recently, some incidents have made me experience what cyberbullying feels like. I’d like to share with everyone here how to deal with such situations.”

Her statement caused the audience and other celebrities to sense something amiss.

While Si Fuqing did have a substantial number of haters, a large part of these were anti-fans from rival factions.

But her fans’ fighting spirit was not to be underestimated.

The anti-fans could hardly touch Si Fuqing.

Why would Si Fuqing publicly discuss cyberbullying?

This was the New Year’s Show!

With an audience of eighty million watching!

With no directive from above, and no intervention from the host,

Si Fuqing spoke calmly, “Everyone knows I’m straightforward and deal with anti-fans personally, so I’ll take this opportunity to ask Teacher Gu.”

The host was taken aback.

However, the cameraperson had already instinctively turned the camera towards Gu Zhinan.

Gu Zhinan looked bewildered, and it wasn’t an act.

[Whoa, is this starting a fight now?]

[Gu Zhinan hasn’t provoked Si Fuqing, has she? What is she doing? Even if Gu Zhinan lost to her in the audition of Sui Yan last year, she’s still her senior. That’s not how to be audacious.]

[If ‘Crossing the Demon Realm’ flops in ratings later, that’ll be a spectacle.]

Gu Zhinan frowned.

She had been tolerant enough towards Si Fuqing. What was she up to, why couldn’t she let go of her?

Aside from the audition of Sui Yan last year, there hadn’t been any other conflicts between them.

This was a live broadcast of the New Year’s Show, watched by countless people.

Was Si Fuqing going off the rails again?

But with the camera on her, Gu Zhinan couldn’t just pretend not to see.

She stood up, very politely, “Teacher Si, do you have something to say to me?”

Her apparent vulnerability against Si Fuqing’s aggressiveness could only earn her public sympathy.

Regardless of what Si Fuqing said, the advantage would remain with her.

“I won’t voice act for you, if you have any complaints, say it to my face, not behind my back. Be straightforward, maybe then I could respect you.” Si Fuqing slowly smiled, “Also, those photos and videos you released, the people in them aren’t me, you’ve mistaken someone else.”
