Join the ServerPutting aside these emotions that would only add unnecessary trouble for now, Sang Zhiyi’s slender fingers moved quickly across her phone screen.
She was chatting with Jiang Yingru.
When the first episode of Love of a Limited Season finished filming and Sang Zhiyi came out of the aquarium tank, Jiang Yingru gave her a big hug.
This was the first time Jiang Yingru had made such a gesture toward anyone off-screen; she had been completely unable to help herself.
“Thank you, truly, thank you.”
Jiang Yingru’s voice was even slightly choked.
“This gift is absolutely perfect.”
Things fell into place naturally, and Sang Zhiyi smoothly exchanged contact information with Jiang Yingru, then left before any of the other guests could react—being the first to depart.
That way, she could avoid possibly running into Lou Yanchen.
Now, nearly a week had passed since the first episode of Love of a Limited Season ended.
During this time, Sang Zhiyi had contacted Jiang Yingru frequently.
Not only did they chat online, discussing poetry, Jiang Yingru’s past works, and daily trivialities, but Sang Zhiyi had even made an in-person visit to Jiang Yingru’s home.
Her main purpose was to seek Jiang Yingru’s advice on acting techniques and to observe and learn on site.
Sang Zhiyi’s acting ability was certainly not poor, but she had no experience performing as a professional actress.
If she could score 101 on a test, Sang Zhiyi wouldn’t settle for just a perfect 100.
Whenever possible, she naturally wanted to pursue excellence.
By learning from Jiang Yingru, one of the most skilled actresses in this world, she could both improve herself and have more topics to discuss with Jiang Yingru, making it easier to build goodwill—why wouldn’t she do it?
Recently, Jiang Yingru had also seen many of the negative comments attacking Sang Zhiyi.
Jiang Yingru was even angrier about these than Sang Zhiyi herself was.
[Jiang: These people, just for some money, slander and insult good people all day long.
Aren’t they afraid of retribution?]
Although she was relatively naive in personality, Jiang Yingru had still survived in the entertainment industry for ten years; she could tell that such widespread and uniformly worded comments were orchestrated.
Sang Zhiyi quickly flipped through her mental stash of reaction images.

[Xiaoqian: Don’t be mad, don’t be mad]
Besides asking System Sir for a bit of help, Sang Zhiyi had also taken some measures of her own to give them a taste of their own medicine—she bought bots as well, keeping the overall situation under control.
She didn’t have the time or energy to earn money right now, so Sang Zhiyi directly used the money Lou Yanchen had given Ren Xiaoqian.
Although Lou Yanchen hadn’t been very attentive to Ren Xiaoqian, he was at least a domineering CEO; he wouldn’t be overly stingy with the mistress he kept.
Ren Xiaoqian was also a girl who was used to saving money, so by the time Sang Zhiyi took over, there was still a considerable balance left in her card.
Why not use it?
Sang Zhiyi also noticed that besides herself, another person currently at the center of the online attacks was Zhongli Miaomiao.
Ever since the news broke on Love of a Limited Season that Zhongli Miaomiao wanted to pursue Liu Bolin, Liu Bolin’s fans had gone crazy.
They knew very well that Zhongli Miaomiao was not like them, just talking big online.
When this little princess of the Zhongli family became interested in a man, she could actually become his girlfriend.
After all, the Zhongli family was incredibly wealthy!
Zhongli Miaomiao had previously dated a famous model boyfriend and a star athlete boyfriend, spending money without any restraint.
Although fans firmly believed that their beloved idol was pure and chaste and would never succumb to dirty money transactions, what if?
How could their idol be with a woman like that?!
These fans were used to banding together when trouble arose.
They immediately called on their friends, hoping to use their numerical advantage to stop Zhongli Miaomiao.
Liu Bolin’s fan base was already relatively young.
Many fans who only had a partial understanding heard that some minor internet celebrity dared to defile their idol, and each and every one of them rushed in with reddened eyes, flooding Zhongli Miaomiao’s Weibo with vicious insults.
They skillfully posted screenshots, hurled insults, and spammed the feed—Sang Zhiyi saw these profanities just as the keywords were about to trend on the trending searches.
Sang Zhiyi’s fingers stopped moving on her phone screen.
In the original plot development, without Sang Zhiyi’s unexpected partner choice and the chain reaction of all the guests forfeiting, the six guests—three men and three women—would have successfully paired up.
Liu Bolin, not daring to openly reject Zhongli Miaomiao, would have reluctantly become her partner.
Therefore, they would have had quite a bit of interaction.
Zhongli Miaomiao’s various overtures would have been seen by Liu Bolin’s fans in the live stream, burning away what little rationality they had left.
Before the show even ended, Zhongli Miaomiao would have been cursed onto the trending searches.
Now, with Sang Zhiyi’s intervention, Zhongli Miaomiao and Liu Bolin had no contact beyond eye contact.
Sang Zhiyi had thought Liu Bolin’s fans might calm down a bit, but it turned out the same script was playing out.
Sang Zhiyi shook her head, her gaze somewhat pitying.
She really shouldn’t have had any normal expectations of these children whose brains weren’t even fully developed yet.
Sang Zhiyi remembered very clearly that this point—when Zhongli Miaomiao discovered she was being cyber-bullied onto the trending searches—was when Zhongli Miaomiao’s emotions would completely explode.
From childhood to adulthood, when had Zhongli Miaomiao ever suffered such humiliation?
She wanted to clap back at each one, but furiously discovered that her typing speed couldn’t keep up with their cursing speed.
In anger, Zhongli Miaomiao posted several consecutive Weibo messages declaring war on these cyber-bullies.
[You bunch of cowards who hide behind keyboards and spread your stench!]
[I’m definitely going to get Liu Bolin!]
[Not only will I get him, I’ll do it right in front of you, so you can see how lovey-dovey Liu Bolin is with me!]
Thus, during the second episode of Love of a Limited Season, Zhongli Miaomiao tried every possible way to chase after Liu Bolin, wanting to cuddle up with him on the big screen for everyone to see.
This provoked even more fierce attacks and opposition from Liu Bolin’s fans.
During that period, the two sides fought endlessly.
Even later, when it was exposed that Liu Bolin slept with fans, juggled multiple relationships at once, and essentially tried to get any young, pretty girl into bed—a total creep at heart—there were still stubborn fans who believed that behind this exposure was Zhongli Miaomiao spending money to smear their idol.
Such matters were too embarrassing for Zhongli Miaomiao; she didn’t want to tell her family.
By the time the Zhongli family realized something was wrong, Zhongli Miaomiao had already endured far too much undeserved suffering.
The Zhongli family immediately dealt with a few of the most aggressive cyber-bullies according to the law, making an example of them and effectively stopping this prolonged online violence.
But the damage had already been done.
Zhongli Miaomiao’s entire mental state had developed serious problems.
Sang Zhiyi didn’t hesitate much.
She switched her phone screen and used up all the money she had set aside for emergencies.
She spent it to suppress the trending search that was about to be flooded by Liu Bolin’s fans.
Sang Zhiyi didn’t want to see a perfectly good girl covered in scars because of all this messy nonsense.
It was still not too late.
***
Sang Zhiyi knew very well that her funds wouldn’t be able to suppress the trending search for long.
She quickly scrolled through Zhongli Miaomiao’s Weibo account.
Among the posts she had made in recent days, the most frequent were expressions of her love and admiration for Sang Zhiyi’s mermaid performance.
[Shuishuishuishuishui V: Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!
Miss Mermaid is waaaaay too beautiful, right?! [heart][heart][heart]]
[Shuishuishuishuishui V: [cry][cry][cry] I ran to the aquarium right after the show ended, but I was still a step too late—Sister Ren Xiaoqian had already left!]
[Shuishuishuishuishui V: I feel like no matter which video app I’m on, my video of the year will definitely be Sister Xiaoqian’s mermaid!
I never get tired of watching it, hehehe [stupid grin]]
Zhongli Miaomiao had even specifically asked the production team of Love of a Limited Season for Sang Zhiyi’s contact information.
When she didn’t get it, she was already planning to go directly to Starlight Entertainment and ask Lou Yanchen.
The pure goodwill and fondness between the lines made Sang Zhiyi’s gaze soften considerably.
She logged into the original owner’s Weibo account—one that hadn’t been used in eight hundred years—and used this officially verified account to send Zhongli Miaomiao a private message, leaving her newly changed contact information, saying she would be waiting all day for Zhongli Miaomiao to add her.
Since Zhongli Miaomiao currently had such a good impression of her, it might be more effective for Sang Zhiyi to tell her certain things personally.
It happened even faster than Sang Zhiyi had expected.
Only an hour later, Zhongli Miaomiao’s WeChat friend request came through.
Zhongli Miaomiao’s WeChat name was the same as her Weibo name.
After they became friends, she was incredibly excited.
[Shuishuishuishuishui: Aaaaah Sister Xiaoqian!!!]
[Shuishuishuishuishui: [heart][heart][heart][heart][rose][rose][rose]]
[Shuishuishuishuishui: Sister Xiaoqian, I’ve been looking for you all these days!
Now I’ve finally found you!!!]
[Shuishuishuishuishui: [Thomas spin into single-knee slide to present you with a sparkling diamond ring.gif]]
[Shuishuishuishuishui: No, no, no!
I feel like just words and pictures can’t express how I’m feeling right now!
Sister Xiaoqian, would you mind if we had a voice call?]
Sang Zhiyi was amused by this flurry of messages.
She initiated a voice call request herself.
That was good—Zhongli Miaomiao’s mental state seemed pretty healthy; she hadn’t been clouded by the undeserved disaster.
Zhongli Miaomiao answered in a split second.
“Wow wow wow, Sister Xiaoqian, you’re calling me!”
“Hello there,” Sang Zhiyi said with a smile.
The voice on the other end of the phone let out an incomprehensible strange squeal.
“How come I never noticed before!”
Zhongli Miaomiao was practically beating her chest and stomping her feet.
“Sister Xiaoqian’s voice is so nice!
Sweet and charming!”
Facing Zhongli Miaomiao, whose mental state was good—almost too good—Sang Zhiyi used the method of smoothing down her fur.
“If you like my voice, would you like to hear me sing a little?”
“Ahh!
Really?!”
Zhongli Miaomiao sucked in a sharp breath, never imagining such a good thing could happen.
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Sang Zhiyi smiled.
On the sofa, she hummed a soft, slow-paced song.
The leisurely melody, paired with Sang Zhiyi’s textured, sweet voice, was like an aged sheep-horn comb—its edgeless teeth gliding gently, softly smoothing away all the roughness and mess.
When the song ended, Zhongli Miaomiao on the other end was noticeably calmer than before.
Silently reclaiming all the initiative in their conversation, Sang Zhiyi gently steered toward the main topic.
“Miaomiao, I remember you quite like Liu Bolin, don’t you?”
