Chapter 28

: Isn't this a reconciliation?

The time was 7:12, and the sun was already out. Sunlight streamed through the curtains into the room, and some of it fell on Meng Ziyi's fair skin, giving it a faint, translucent glow, like white jade.

Picking up her phone, Meng Ziyi casually opened her Douyin account and scrolled through yesterday's video. She saw that the video had suddenly received a million likes, tens of thousands of comments and favorites, and over two hundred thousand shares.

Somewhat bewildered, Meng Ziyi opened the comments section and took a look.

From then on, the emperor no longer held morning court sessions!

"That look in his eyes is amazing; I've watched that glance over my shoulder so many times."

"My goodness, this period costume is so beautiful! It's completely different from the ones in TV dramas."

Is this music "The Power of Love"? Does this song have such a strong sense of fate and destiny?

"Ziyi is so beautiful, I love you!"

"Ziyi is so beautiful, much prettier than Lin Yoona."

Besides passersby, there were also many fans commenting below.

Meng Ziyi was stunned. Then she glanced at her Douyin followers, which had skyrocketed to 1.8 million in just one night.

Meng Ziyi then opened Weibo, and sure enough, her video had received millions of likes and over 100,000 comments.

At this time, the variety show "Grade One" in which Meng Ziyi participated had not yet been broadcast, so she didn't have that many haters. However, even if she had a lot of haters from "Grade One", they wouldn't be as many as she had from "The Untamed".

Below the video are various entries about her.

#Meng Ziyi, a Beauty in Ancient Style#

#A stunningly beautiful woman, a goddess in period dramas#

#Su Daji Reincarnated#

"Ziyi looks really good in this long dress, much better than that Korean guy."

"I'm disgusted. Just because she has plastic surgery and is wearing an ancient costume, she thinks she's the leading lady. She doesn't even look at her own face. She's born to be a maid."

"Do you think you're pretty? All that posing and behaving, how can you compare to Yoona?"

"If you like South Korean stars, go to South Korea! This is China!"

"They're attacking their own compatriots because of one South Korean? That's outrageous."

"Ziyi's dress must be very expensive, it looks so gorgeous."

"I didn't expect the instrumental version of this song to be so beautiful; it really evokes a strong sense of destiny."

...Meng Ziyi blinked and kept scrolling down the screen. She was a little excited. It was the first time she had ever been noticed by someone like this.

Unlike the previous one-sided criticism, this time, because of this video, quite a few people are speaking up for her. After all, the popularity of that drama has faded, and her video is indeed very attractive.

The entertainment industry is all about fortunes changing every thirty years. Back then, everyone was just a nobody... No one can guarantee that someone will stay popular forever, and no one can guarantee that someone will never become popular.

"Hoo hoo hoo..." Meng Ziyi watched her fans fight against the haters for her, while Li Han next to her was fast asleep.

"Ring ring." Just as Meng Ziyi was scrolling through videos, her phone rang. It was her agent, and Meng Ziyi quickly answered it.

The other party also learned about Meng Ziyi's video and was very happy to ask who filmed it for her. They were really something else.

"Ah..." Meng Ziyi turned his head and glanced at Li Han, who was still asleep, and mumbled something.

"Alright, come to the company right away. We need to discuss how to help you get cleaned up." Meng Ziyi's situation is currently very good, but relying on fans alone won't work. They have to spend money to hire online trolls.

"Okay, okay." Meng Ziyi nodded, then hung up the phone and quickly turned to look at Li Han.

"Wake up, wake up." She said, pushing Li Han.

"W-what? I'm sleeping." Li Han frowned, turned around, wrapped himself in the blanket, and continued to sleep.

"I'm going to the company. Wait for me at home," Meng Ziyi said helplessly.

"Snoring..." The only response to Meng Ziyi was a series of snores as he slept.

Meng Ziyi quickly got dressed, opened the door, and headed to the company.

About an hour later, Li Han woke up, sat up, looked around, and licked his lips.

"Where's Ziyi?" He blinked blankly, then looked at the bedroom door which was also open, and called out twice in confusion.

"Ziyi! Sister Meng, Meng Ziyi!... Meng Zicha!?"

"Where is he?" Li Han asked, picking up his phone and opening platforms like Douyin and Weibo.

He glanced at Meng Ziyi's video from last night, and sure enough, it had gone viral.

It's understandable, really. Back in 16, the ancient style circle was a niche area, since web dramas were still in their infancy. The reason why there are so many beautiful women with ancient style online in later years is mainly because of ancient costume dramas.

However, the rise of the ancient style is also fast. Next year's "Eternal Love" will lead a wave of ancient style trends. It's a pity. I wish I could be reborn sooner.

"Where is she? Did she go to buy breakfast?" Li Han called Meng Ziyi.

...At this moment, Meng Ziyi was talking to her agent Han Meng, who sounded very happy. Meanwhile, the spread of Meng Ziyi's video was still increasing.

The assistant came over and handed Meng Ziyi a cup of coffee, which she casually took and drank a sip.

"Ziyi, did you come up with this video yourself?" Agent Han Meng asked impatiently.

"It wasn't me...it was Li Han," Meng Ziyi said with a wry smile. I don't have that kind of brain.

"Li Han? Didn't you two break up?" Agent Han Meng frowned slightly.

Upon hearing this, Meng Ziyi looked up at her with a somewhat displeased expression. "Didn't they get back together?!"

"That kid has this skill?" Han Meng muttered to herself.

"Let's not talk about that for now. Right now, your fans are arguing with those haters over you. Our top priority is to quickly hire some online trolls to get involved and buy you a few trending topics. You're doing very well right now, and we must seize this opportunity," Han Meng said.

Meng Ziyi nodded. Even without her agent saying it, she understood that she had to seize this opportunity.

"Ring ring." The phone rang, and Meng Ziyi looked down to see that it was Li Han calling.

She didn't try to avoid suspicion, since Li Han and her agent knew each other anyway, so she just picked up the phone and answered.

"Hey, you're awake?" Meng Ziyi said, gently shaking her hair as she spoke.

"Um, where are you?" Li Han asked, yawning.

"I'm at the company, having a chat with Sister Han." Meng Ziyi didn't say much more.

"Okay, will you be back at noon?" Li Han asked again.

"I'll go back, I'll definitely go back." Meng Ziyi blinked.

The way the two of them were talking and chatting left Han Meng feeling quite helpless. Seriously, what's with all this on-again, off-again drama?
