Chapter 279 Plagiarism



[Huatian: Unlike some people who have been on Weibo for so long before moving to this website.]

[Hanada: Having a lot of fans isn't anything special.]

As soon as Zhen Tian opened her phone, she saw Hua Tian saying something sarcastic and inappropriate.

[Ah Ling: No matter what, having fans is a good thing, hahaha.]

Not everyone likes to offend people like Huatian. Ah Ling said some polite words and then disappeared, not daring to show her face again and bring trouble upon herself.

[Sweet Tongue: @Liuliuliu, okay. S City.]

[Liuliuliu: Hey, the girl replied to me! Haha, I'm also from S City! We can go together sometime!]

[Sweet Tongue: We'll talk about it later.]

[Liuliuliu: Mmm-hmm.]

A friend request came in shortly after, and Zhen Tian accepted it.

[Liuliuliu: Hey there, it's me, 66. Don't listen to Huatian's sarcastic remarks, that's just how she is. Don't be angry.]

[Sweet Tongue: It's alright.]

[Liuliuliu: This young lady is so magnanimous! She previously formed cliques in the group and ostracized many people, and this time she's also won over this promising newcomer, Xiaomi. Apparently, the two are getting along quite well lately. You should be careful!]

Liu Liuliu was chatting privately with Zhen Tian.

Seeing that Zhen Tian was replying to others in the group chat but hadn't left him, Hua Tian came out again to seek attention.

[Hana-da: @SweetTongue. Speaking of which, author, your comic has the same name as the protagonist of my new comic. And mine was posted first.]

[Hanada: Ah, I didn't mean anything by it. Someone as great as you would never stoop to plagiarism.]

[Hanada: But I posted it first, so shouldn't you edit it?]

[Hanada: Otherwise, it wouldn't be good if fans misunderstood and thought I plagiarized.]

She practically branded the word "plagiarism" in bold and large font on the big screen. The meaning was obvious.

This time, Zhen Tian didn't ignore her.

[Sweet on the tongue: Which one?]

[Hana-da: The main character in my book is named Sweet Peach. Yours is named Starfruit. Both have the character "peach" in their names, and both are related to fruit. That's boring, isn't it?]

Yang Tao finished slurping her rice and paused for a moment when she saw her own name on the list.

"You've already included me in your comics?"

"Morning!" Zhen Tian replied quickly after saying that.

[Sweet Tongue: Did you register the naming rights for the character "桃"?]

[Hanada: What do you mean?]

[Sweet Tongue: You know what I mean. You accuse me of plagiarism with just one word. If it's really about plagiarism, my friend's online name is Sweet Peach.]

"How long have you had this name registered?" Zhen Tian turned to Yang Tao and asked.

"WeChat has been around since it was first released, so it must have been several years ago."

[Sweet Tongue: She's used this name for over 5 years, shouldn't you apologize for plagiarizing her?]

[Hanada: We're talking about the artwork, why are you bringing up others?]

[Sweet Tongue: Since you didn't register this character as a name, and it wasn't your original creation, why should I change it?]

[Sweet Tongue: Besides, Sweet Peach isn't exactly a rare name. Go back six years, there was an author called Big Tail Wolf, and one of her books featured Sweet Peach as the main character. Isn't this a clear case of plagiarism?]

[Hana-da: You're being unreasonable.]

[Hana-da: I never said you plagiarized!]

[Hana-da: Are you serious about accusing me of plagiarism?]

Sweetness on the tongue: Let's encourage each other.

After saying that, Zhen Tian automatically ended this childish conversation.

Yang Tao clicked her tongue in amazement: "Is this person a weirdo? Shouldn't I sue her for infringing on her name rights?"

“There are all kinds of people.” Zhen Tian shrugged, ate two more bites of noodles, and then left the cafeteria with Yang Tao.

She had no classes in the afternoon, so she planned to go home and take a nap.

When she got back to her dorm and charged her phone, she realized she had overlooked a whole string of messages.

[Liuliuliu: Don't be angry, miss. She's forced several authors to change their names because of her name-related issues. Otherwise, she'd have her fans leave comments accusing other authors of plagiarism.]

[Liuliuliu: Just now, we have to face it head-on.]

[Liuliuliu: You're so cool, girl. I have to overwhelm her with my presence.]

[Liuliuliu: Waaaaah, I've become a fangirl of this girl!]

[Liuliuliu: Exactly! It wasn't her who invented it, so why accuse others of plagiarism?]

[Liuliuliu: He only dares to act this way because he's a cartoonist heavily promoted by the website.]

[Liuliuliu: There really is an author whose female lead is named Sweet Peach! I'm going to tell all the girls who were bullied by her.]

[Liuliuliu: I actually found this author's book! It really is Sweet Peach. Hahahaha.]

[Liuliuliu: This girl is awesome!]

Zhen Tian replied with a smiling emoji and went straight to sleep.

I was busy finishing an assignment late into the night last night, and then I had to get up early this morning to attend class. It was so tough.

Yang Tao was still sitting downstairs reading.

As she looked at the screen, she started chatting with Zhen Hong.

Yang Tao's knowledge of the ceremony meant that Zhen Hong also knew about it.

The fact that Zhen Hong knew meant that the entire Zhen family knew, since everyone knew that Zhen Hong was the family's gossipmonger.

When Tian Tian wakes up, she will find that everything has been arranged by her family.

...

A week has passed in the blink of an eye.

When the Zhen family learned about the grand ceremony, they were all very happy for Tian Tian. Who would have thought that their child's casual little drawing would be loved by so many people?

The online gala consists of an awards ceremony and a reception. The awards ceremony is from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., followed by the reception.

Knowing that S City TV would broadcast the awards ceremony live, the Zhen family also took it very seriously.

Lu Kai used his connections to arrange a nanny van for Zhen Tian.

Zhen Tian was stunned when she saw it.

"I'm not a big star, it can't be that bad..." she said with an embarrassed smile.

“No, it’s cold and tiring waiting to walk the red carpet. You can rest in the car.” Lu Kai’s voice came through the phone receiver.

"But that's a bit over the top, I don't want to be that high-profile."

"Listen to me." Lu Kai's voice was flat. "Uncle still has work to do. I'll watch the replay later."

"All right……"

Zhen Tian reluctantly accepted the car.

Lu Yinuo even used her expertise to draw a complete dress design and submitted it to the craft workshop for customization. The dress arrived in Zhen Tian's hands the day before the ceremony.

The light pink glitter dress not only made her fair skin look even brighter, but it was also very suitable for her age and didn't make her look old.

Lu Xian was very decisive and swiped his card to buy a box of jewelry for Tian Tian.

Zhen Yan arranged for a styling studio.

As the eldest brother, Zhen Yan bought Tian Tian her first pair of high heels.

Ye Qingyan learned about this through Yang Tao, and with a wave of her hand, she sent Zhen Tian a dinner bag. It was so shiny it almost blinded people.

Fearing that Zhen Tian wouldn't accept it, she directly instructed Yang Tao to go to the villa and give it to Zhen Tian.
