Sun Xiaoxiao opened the PiliPili short video website and skillfully entered Ye Chu's name in the search box.

Only three or four days after the broadcast of "Tianji Tower", there are already many fan-made edits about Ye Chu on short video websites.

As the highest quality fan-made video editing website on the entire internet, mashups of ancient costume beauties have always been a popular theme on pilipili.

Ye Chu has become a new favorite among video editors these past two days, with short clips of just over ten minutes being edited into all sorts of amazing content.

These videos are beautifully edited and have a good number of views. The most viewed one has already surpassed 200,000 views!

As a newly minted fan of Ye Chu's good looks, Sun Xiaoxiao has been browsing Pixiv these past few days, watching all sorts of fan-made videos and enjoying them immensely.

Ye Chu's scenes are just too few; I've watched her ten-odd minutes of screen time over and over again, and it's practically worn out by now.

Sun Xiaoxiao really wanted to see Ye Chu's new work, but unfortunately the actress seemed very mysterious, and Sun Xiaoxiao couldn't find any trace of her on any platform.

She doesn't even have a Weibo account!

Sun Xiaoxiao enjoyed Ye Chu's exquisite editing on Pi for a while, then opened Weibo.

Although Ye Chu has not opened a Weibo account, a small group of her original fans have already created a super topic for her—there aren't many people, Ye Chu's super topic currently only has more than forty people, which looks pitiful.

Sun Xiaoxiao originally wanted to go directly to Ye Chu's super topic, but when she opened Weibo, she suddenly found a very familiar trending topic at the bottom of the entertainment list.

Yang Huanyi is dedicated to her work.

Sun Xiaoxiao certainly knew the name Yang Huanyi. These past two days, she'd been hanging out on the Old Wine Shop martial arts forum, and the girls there were practically tearing her and Li Yi (the actor who played Xie Bazi) apart with insults.

Sun Xiaoxiao carefully recalled Yang Huanyi's performance in "Tianji Tower" and simply couldn't associate him with the word "dedicated." She distinctly remembered a scene where Yang Huanyi was reciting his lines while sucking on a mint candy.

Sun Xiaoxiao felt confused and, with a mindset of finding fault, clicked on this trending topic.

The top trending topic was a Weibo post by a Weibo influencer named "Quanji Shentong":

[Yang Huanyi's behind-the-scenes footage and Douyin clips from "The Special Envoy of the Dangerous City"! He moved effortlessly on a 30-meter wire, rolled in the mud seventeen times! He personally waded through the explosion site! That's incredibly dedicated! #YangHuanyiDedicated#]

The accompanying images are various behind-the-scenes GIFs of Yang Huanyi on a modern-day set. Some of the GIFs show only a small white dot, and the images are labeled in red with "This is Yang Huanyi".

So it wasn't related to the "Tianji Tower" production team after all. Sun Xiaoxiao was a little disappointed. Since she was being dedicated to her work on another production team, it had nothing to do with "Tianji Tower."

Sun Xiaoxiao put the matter out of her mind.

When Sun Xiaoxiao woke up from her lunch break, it was already 2 p.m. She opened Weibo again and found that the trending topic "[Yang Huanyi's dedication]" had soared from the 30th or 40th place on the entertainment list to the 33rd place on the overall trending list.

Why is this trending topic still up there? Sun Xiaoxiao felt slightly annoyed. She hadn't read "The Special Envoy of the Dangerous City," but she had read "The Heavenly Secret Tower." Yang Huanyi's dedication in the former didn't affect the bad impression Sun Xiaoxiao had of her because of the latter.

Sun Xiaoxiao pouted, clicked into the trending topics and glanced at them again.

This time, the trending topics are much more lively than before. Besides Quanji Shentong, there are many other popular Weibo posts from other influential figures, such as beautiful pictures of Yang Huanyi in various roles, action scenes of Yang Huanyi, and old interviews of Yang Huanyi.

One of the most popular posts was a beautifully edited series of 9 animated GIFs posted by a blogger called "A Stunning Time Machine for Appreciating Beauty," accompanied by the caption: "[35-year-old Yang Huanyi, time never defeats beauty. #YangHuanyiDedicated#]".

To be fair, the pictures posted by "Appreciation Time Machine" are quite beautiful. Yang Huanyi's fans and many casual viewers reposted them, adding a lot of buzz to the Weibo post.

Sun Xiaoxiao was very unhappy, feeling a sense of unease that someone she disliked was liked by everyone. She couldn't help but post a comment on the trending topics: "Is she dedicated? I thought her performance in 'Tianji Tower' was pretty average."

After posting this, Sun Xiaoxiao lost interest in browsing Weibo and turned off her phone.

On the other side, Shang Yechu switched accounts as quickly as an octopus, adding to the popularity of the trending topics.

During the entertainment drought, it's easier to trend on Weibo than on other days; 500 original discussions are already quite a lot of buzz. But the summer holidays and the Lunar New Year holidays are truly grueling!

Shang Yechu had already written over 30,000 words of flattery and stored them on her phone. She could use them all simply by changing the name.
