Amidst the scolding on Weibo, a cacophony of different voices slowly appeared.

[Seems like the Heavenly Spirit Princess doesn’t appear often...]

[I just saw the scenes list. Xia Wanyuan really did finish filming most of the Heaven Spirit Princess’s scenes already.]

Some logical fans of the original novel had also come up with a comparison between the scenes in the original novel and scenes from the drama, confirming that Xia Wanyuan had indeed filmed most of her scenes.

[What the f*ck? You guys still have the mood to discuss this? I’m shocked by the video.]

[Me too... Is that Xia Wanyuan? I suddenly feel like there’s no need to replace her.]

[Me too...]

[AHHHHHHHH! She’s so pretty! I take back my words. Don’t replace her!]

Originally, it was just a trending topic that was occupied by fans of the novel. As the rankings slowly rose, many passers-by also started to talk about it.

The top trending topic was the Weibo account that strongly accused the production team of “The Long Ballad” of indulging Xia Wanyuan in slacking off and demanded a replacement.

While the second most popular topic was the video that was released by the production team.

With a curious heart, the passers-by on Weibo wanted to see what the production team had done to make the fans so angry that they demanded a replacement.

[Forget it, based on this face and appearance, I won’t scold her for the time being. We’ll talk about it after the drama is released.]

The comments were chaotic, but they were no longer filled with insults. Although the majority of the comments were still skeptical, people were reluctantly honest.

Within just one hour, the video was played three million times.

A short video was sent to the WeChat group called “Four Great Generals”.

“Hey, look at this video my girlfriend sent me. This is the actress who played the Heavenly Spirit Princess. She’s my goddess!”

In the dormitory where they were all quietly lying on their beds and playing with their new computers, Zhang Zhe’s roar broke the silence.

“The Long Ballad” was adapted from a novel written for males, so the audience was mostly male. The two female characters in the original novel were naturally regarded as goddesses by many men.

And in this dormitory, other than Yang Lin, everyone else had read this novel before. Xia Yu knew that Xia Wanyuan was going to act in the drama, so he had specially downloaded the novel to read a few days before.

“Holy f*ck! Who is this?! I declare! She’s my goddess from now on!”

“This is the Heavenly Spirit Princess I’ve imagined all my life! Goddamn, she’s beautiful! I can look at her a hundred times!”

No matter how much hatred was stirred among the fans, liking someone was just so simple and straightforward for straight men.

Xia Yu heard what they said and clicked on the video with a look of disdain. A look of surprise flashed past his eyes. ‘This woman actually looks pretty good in ancient clothes.’

“I think she’s so-so,” Xia Yu remarked mercilessly.

“Wow! Xia Yu, your expectations are too high! How can she be ‘so-so’? She is practically a pretty face that only appears once in five thousand years!”

“Xia Yu, I’m telling you. You can scold me, but you can’t insult my goddess. Come out and fight!”

“Tsk, childish,” Xia Yu scoffed. However, he was secretly overjoyed by the praises given to Xia Wanyuan by his roommates.
