在娱乐圈黑幕的漩涡中，凌逸尘与君墨染因执意探寻真相，成为了黑暗势力的眼中钉。于是，一场精心策划的恶意抹黑行动如汹涌的潮水般向他们袭来，瞬间将他们卷入了困境的深渊。

As if by prior arrangement, major entertainment tabloids simultaneously published a series of negative news stories about Ling Yichen and Jun Mozhan. Some reports claimed that Ling Yichen acted arrogantly on set, verbally abusing the director and staff, and even deliberately delaying filming, causing significant losses to the production team. The accompanying image was a blurry photo; Ling Yichen's slightly serious expression was maliciously interpreted as arrogance. Jun Mozhan was not spared either; reports smeared his chaotic private life, alleging inappropriate relationships with multiple women, and included some photoshopped suggestive pictures. In these photos, Jun Mozhan appeared intimate with several unfamiliar women, but the images were riddled with inconsistencies. However, these false reports spread rapidly among the uninformed public.

Social media exploded, with netizens hurling accusations and insults at them. Their initial supporters were thrown into confusion and disarray. Some chose to continue believing in them, standing firmly behind them and defending them on various platforms; others began to waver, becoming skeptical of the negative news, filled with doubt and disappointment. Ling Yichen and Jun Mozhan, watching the flood of malicious comments online, felt a surge of anger and helplessness.

“Brother Jun, how can these people distort the truth and fabricate such accusations? We only wanted to set things right in the entertainment industry, but we've been caught in this mess.” Ling Yichen clenched his fists, his eyes burning with anger. Jun Mo Ran was equally furious, but he tried his best to remain calm: “Yichen, we must stay calm. This is clearly a deliberate act, intended to ruin our reputation and make it impossible for us to establish ourselves in the entertainment industry. If we lose our composure, wouldn't we be playing right into their hands?”

As the negative news continued to escalate, their work was severely impacted. Commercial endorsements that had already been agreed upon were canceled one after another, with partners terminating their agreements without hesitation, citing reputational damage. Some performance projects in preparation were also forced to be shelved, as organizers, worried about ticket sales and audience reception, dared not risk using them again. Their status in the entertainment industry became precarious, as if they had fallen from grace overnight.

During this difficult time, they also faced pressure from their peers. Some artists who had previously competed with them took the opportunity to kick them while they were down, publicly questioning and criticizing them in an attempt to suppress them and expand their own influence. Even some former friends began to distance themselves from them for fear of being implicated, making Ling Yichen and Jun Moran feel the coldness of human nature.

Ling Yichen and Jun Moran knew that if they didn't clarify these malicious smears in time, their acting careers would be ruined. Therefore, they decided to hold a press conference to directly address these false rumors. At the press conference, Ling Yichen spoke first, detailing his actual situation on set and explaining his misunderstood behavior. He presented a joint testimony from the crew, proving that he had been diligent and hardworking throughout filming, maintained harmonious relationships with the director and staff, and never acted arrogantly. Jun Moran also clarified the rumors about his chaotic private life, pointing out the flaws in the photoshopped images and stating his willingness to accept any form of investigation to prove his innocence.

However, the dark forces did not stop there. They hired online trolls to continue spreading rumors after the press conference, questioning the authenticity of the evidence provided by Ling Yichen and Jun Moran, claiming that these were pre-arranged pretexts. At the same time, they incited uninformed members of the public to boycott them, urging people not to watch their work or buy the products they endorsed.

Faced with such a powerful and malicious attack, Ling Yichen and Jun Mozhan felt unprecedented pressure. They began to reflect on whether their actions had been too reckless, and whether they had underestimated the methods of the dark forces. But they quickly dismissed these thoughts, because they knew that everything they had done was for justice, and if they retreated now, the entertainment industry would be forever shrouded in darkness.

In their predicament, they recalled the wonderful times they had spent together, the glorious moments on stage, and the warm memories of supporting each other through difficult times. These memories became the source of their motivation to persevere. They decided to stop being passive and instead take the initiative, seeking evidence to expose the true face of the dark forces.

They re-examined the clues they had gathered during their previous investigation into the entertainment industry's dark side and discovered some subtle evidence related to the smear campaign. It turned out that everything was being manipulated behind the scenes by Wang, a high-ranking manager at the event organizer. To cover up his crimes, Wang was willing to use any means to suppress them. Ling Yichen and Jun Mozhan continued their investigation along this line of inquiry, finding several key witnesses who had been instructed by Wang to participate in the smear campaign. After their persuasion, the witnesses finally came forward and provided crucial evidence, including phone records and email correspondence with Wang, which was sufficient to prove that they had been maliciously smeared.

Meanwhile, some of their loyal fans did not give up. They spontaneously organized themselves into a truth-finding team. They collected information online, analyzed the loopholes in the smear reports, and tried to clear their idols' names. The fans' actions deeply moved Ling Yichen and Jun Moran; they realized that no matter what difficulties they faced, there were always people supporting them.

Having gathered sufficient evidence, Ling Yichen and Jun Mozhan held another press conference. This time, they no longer simply defended themselves, but directly targeted Lord Wang and the dark forces behind him. At the press conference, they presented detailed evidence they had collected, exposing Lord Wang's crimes, including manipulating award ceremonies, fabricating scandals, and maliciously smearing celebrities. Their courageous actions garnered support from some righteous media outlets, who reported on the matter, attracting widespread attention from all sectors of society.

The public began to realize they had been misled, and their attitude towards Ling Yichen and Jun Moran gradually changed. Those netizens who had initially criticized and insulted them started to reflect on their behavior and apologized. Some canceled endorsement and performance projects began to be re-negotiated with them. Although they hadn't completely escaped their predicament, they had seen a glimmer of hope.

In this storm of malicious smear campaign, Ling Yichen and Jun Mozhan endured tremendous trials. Their reputations were severely damaged, and their careers suffered a major blow, but they never gave up. With their perseverance and courage, they struggled forward through adversity, tirelessly striving to expose the dark side of the entertainment industry and pursue justice. They believed that once the truth came to light, they would surely rise again and continue to shine in the entertainment world.
