There are many rumors online about the plot developments and the screenwriter's true identity. After waiting for two days, they finally got the third episode.

Many netizens are refreshing the page by the second; heaven knows how many times they've watched the first two episodes in the past two days, and every scene is practically worn out from use.

No wonder the platform dared to release it like this; they have absolute confidence in the show! It has to be said, these viewers have really been manipulated.

"It started with a 1.8 rating, and the numbers are still climbing." The director was laughing so hard his eyes were almost closed, and he sent out several large red envelopes in the group chat.

The number of people watching online in real time is also constantly rising. According to the platform, the number of people recharging for VIP today has reached a new high.

In the third episode, Song Xinghe, who plays the supporting female character, finally makes her appearance, and immediately starts with an action scene. After helping the male lead out of a predicament with her agile skills and cold expression, she also takes the opportunity to save the second male lead, Gu Xueyi.

Netizens were excited when they saw this. They could tell from the trailer that the female supporting character played by Song Xinghe and the male supporting character played by Gu Xueyi were a couple. They were worried that the two were not a good match because of their age difference. But now it seems that their chemistry is just as good as the male and female leads.

[I knew Song Xing's previous dramas overshadowed her beauty, and I was right!]

[Gu Xueyi seems even more handsome now. He used to be a domineering CEO, now he's a refined gentleman. I love both styles.]

[The director really knows how to cast! Can we please use this kind of casting for future idol dramas?]

[So I'm the only one who's paying attention to the fact that Song Xinghe's character is the second merman in the show? The male lead's tail is so beautiful, I wonder if her tail will get a chance to appear.]

[There definitely will be. Now I'm more interested in how the plot will develop. Merfolk seem to live longer than humans, so how did they end up with the human female lead and the male supporting character?]

[Didn't the show explain that the merfolk's lifespan was rapidly decreasing because they contracted a disease due to pollution?]

[But I don't want the merfolk to disappear! This show is so popular, there's a huge potential for a sequel or a spin-off. With such great special effects, it's a shame not to make a story about the merfolk.]

I also think the special effects are pretty good even for a movie. I heard the total investment was only 30 million. Those movies and TV series that easily cost 100 or 200 million—where did your money go?

I really love Song Xinghe! Although I also really like Lan Mengfan, Song Xinghe has a different kind of beauty, and I think she's just as beautiful.

[There's no need to be so cautious upstairs. Even we blue fans have to admit she's very pretty. Song Xinghe is good friends with our Mengfan, so we don't mind.]

[Haven't there already been smear articles about this?]

[This is definitely a marketing account deliberately stirring up trouble; we have a very harmonious relationship with each other.]

In the first two episodes, although there were some criticisms of Lan Mengfan online, there were not as many as the criticisms of Song Xinghe now. This may be because Lan Mengfan has too much popularity, or it may be because her acting skills have really improved. Once a negative article appears, it is attacked back by her fans.

But now that the third episode has aired, suddenly a lot of people are attacking Song Xinghe, and they're even trying to sow discord between her fans and Lan Mengfan's fans. It's obvious that someone is stirring up trouble.

"Report it immediately, then remove the negative post. The legal department will have a job to do." Xie Dong had actually prepared in advance, but he didn't expect the other party's malice and methods to be so extreme.

He had finally managed to gain Senior Song's trust, and he couldn't afford to make a mistake. This time, he had to be tough and show these marketing accounts what was what.

Now, Song Xinghe and Song Xia behind her are the company's cash cows, so the boss, Du Junfang, has given Xie Dong a lot of power.

Just kidding, how could he allow the God of Wealth to be disappointed? You have to understand, the God of Wealth just made Wen Tian famous. Only three episodes have aired, and he has already sent Wen Tian countless invitations for magazine shoots, advertisements, variety shows, and new dramas. Soon Song Xinghe will be able to do the same, and there may be other newcomers who become popular later. He can't let Senior Song have the idea of ​​leaving.

Song Xia knew that after her daughter appeared in the third episode, some people might criticize her, but she didn't expect Qiao Leyi and Gu Zhiya to be so irrational.

Sister Hua was indignant: "The internet celebrity I found before should be recovering soon. Since they're resorting to underhanded tactics, let's see who has the tougher methods."

Both of them came from that era; without their own methods, they wouldn't have gotten to where they are today.

However, before the two could even make a move, casual viewers who were seriously watching the show couldn't help but speak up for Song Xinghe after seeing the negative comments online. What did these negative comments mean? They finally found a good idol drama, and you want to ruin it?

As a result, several marketing accounts that spoke ill of Song Xing and others, as well as those that deliberately incited conflict with negative comments, were either reported and had their accounts shut down, or were forced to delete their comments.

However, this actually gained Song Xinghe a lot of fans. People looked up her previous works and found that she was a real gem. No matter how messy her previous works were, as long as she was on screen, her acting was at least on point.

[I'm a fan now! I don't understand why she, Song Xia's daughter, has such poor resources? Song Xia is a veteran actress in the Chinese entertainment industry who has won several Best Actress awards!]

Finally, someone has realized how hard my daughter has worked. I heard that it was because Actress Song didn't agree to Xinghe entering the entertainment industry before, so she didn't give her any support. It wasn't until this year that she got the role of the second female lead in "He Came from the Sea".

It's truly remarkable that you've gotten this far through your own abilities.

Yes, Xinghe is a very good actress, but she hasn't encountered good roles. Now, Song Yinghou has started to support her work, and hopefully things will get better for her in the future.

I became a fan because of her impressive martial arts skills. The director said she didn't use a stunt double, which shows she genuinely loves acting.

For every positive review online, there's a negative one. Even now, Qiao Leyi and Gu Zhiya haven't given up on attacking Song Xinghe; they've just changed their methods.

[Haha, not easy? There are plenty of people who have it much harder than her, fans, please stop making her look good.]

What do you mean by "didn't support me before"? I think it's because they lacked the ability to become popular, which is why they didn't say anything.

[Is Song Xinghe's acting good? I don't think so. Before, it was just because the acting of those she acted opposite was so bad that there was a comparison. In this drama, she just has a cold face. How can you tell what acting skills she has?]

[Song Xia's Best Actress award is about to be ruined by her daughter; no wonder she didn't speak out before.]

I think Lan Mengfan's acting in this drama is better than hers. The so-called chemistry and ambiguous tension between the leads are only thanks to Gu Xueyi.

The fans were bewildered by the flood of negative comments. How did this group of people suddenly appear?

So who exactly is paying to smear them behind the scenes? They've only just started to gain some attention, so whose path are they blocking?

Xie Dong is very quick-witted now, and soon he launched a series of actions including reporting, removing comments, and sending lawyer's letters, which made his fans feel very satisfied.
