Recently, the world of novels has been in turmoil.
The authors were overjoyed, while the readers were frowning, creating quite a spectacle.
How did this phenomenon come about? It all started with a news item from a few days ago.
Wei Qing, a well-known voice director, recently made a rare Weibo post, showing off his engagement ring with the caption:
I have finally found the meaning of life. I thank God for letting us meet.
The official announcement on Weibo quickly went viral.
Many people who know Wei Qing believe that his account was hacked; otherwise, why would the usually aloof and sharp-tongued Director Wei post such a Weibo message?
However, a reporter immediately contacted Wei Qing and interviewed him, confirming that it was indeed him who posted it and that his account had not been hacked.
This is even stranger. Many people think it's like the sun has risen in the west, that a die-hard bachelor can actually find a girlfriend. They are unconvinced.
However, regardless of what netizens think, Wei Qing seemed to have flipped a switch from that day on, and began to show affection for his partner without fail.
Today he posts pictures of the meal he cooked for his fiancée, tomorrow he posts pictures of the anniversary gift he prepared, and so on and so forth.
After this continued for a whole month, netizens concluded: "Judging from his worthless appearance, he's definitely a loser."
Originally, netizens would just watch the show and move on; what business is it of theirs if other people are dating?
Unexpectedly, authors began to report that their novels had sold their copyrights, not just a few, but more than a dozen small and medium-sized authors.
Readers then dug deeper and discovered that Wei Qing's studio had bought the copyrights to dozens of novels within a month, at a considerable cost.
A lively discussion immediately broke out on the readers' forum.
[Let's take a closer look at the novel copyrights Wei Qing bought before and after the official announcement...]
This post provides a detailed breakdown of the timeline and estimated price of Wei Qing Studio's acquisition of the copyright. The sheer volume of the timeline and the exorbitant prices offered have left many in the novel industry speechless.
Why do you think he bought so many? They're all different types. Even if he were just making a radio drama, it would take a long time to prepare.
Who knows? Maybe they just have too much money to burn.
[I agree with the comment above. Don't forget, Wei Qing is a top-tier rich second-generation. His involvement in the industry is just a hobby; this amount of money is nothing to him.]
I do have a guess.
[Hey upstairs, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me!]
[Think about it, what a coincidence! He immediately bought the copyright right after officially announcing his engagement.]
You've heard the rumors too, haven't you? I didn't believe it when I first heard them, but it turns out there's truth to everything.
What kind of riddles are those two upstairs spouting? Can't they say something in a way that humans can understand?
[Alright! To put it simply, Wei Qing's girlfriend is a voice actress, and to promote her, he bought the rights to almost every slightly popular novel from the last two years.]
Good heavens, so that's how it is! Those wicked rich people!
Soon, news of Wei Qing spending money to buy copyrights to promote his girlfriend spread like wildfire, without anyone even bothering to verify its authenticity.
In an instant, online novel readers were filled with lamentations. They simply couldn't imagine what it would be like to have so many different novels all dubbed by the same voice actor.
For listeners who enjoy radio dramas, this must be incredibly tiring.
In fact, Wei Qing's purchase of these copyrights had nothing to do with Yun Qing.
It was only because Yun Qing had accepted his marriage proposal and finally won the heart of his beloved that he wanted to complete more works so that he could save time to plan the wedding and honeymoon.
After all, their industry is quite fast-paced; if there's a long gap in employment, they'll be quickly replaced by others.
Although Wei Qing is not short of money, he still does not want to leave the industry. Yun Qing likes voice acting, so he wants to maintain his position in the industry and fully support her.
Yun Qing was unaware of these things. She was constantly bothered by Wei Qing and had no time to pay attention to what was happening in the online literature world.
However, netizens' investigative abilities are astonishing, and soon someone uncovered the hidden identity of Wei Qing's fiancée through subtle clues.
This sparked another round of heated discussion online.
[I never expected that Wei the Scoundrel's fiancée would be none other than Yun Qing! What has he done to deserve this?]
Who is Yun Qing? Is she famous? I'm new to this industry and haven't heard of her before.
[You don't recognize her? You've surely heard of "The Legend of Mingyue," right? She voiced the female lead, Su Mingyue.]
[Oh? It's her! Oh my god, I love her voice so much, it's like it can purify your soul.]
[In other words, I was disappointed that she only voiced characters in two productions and then I heard nothing more from her, but I never expected that the next thing I heard about her would be this.]
[If it's Yun Qing, I don't care how much she does; I'd listen to her until the end of time.]
Is it really that exaggerated? You guys weren't like this a while ago.
That's Yun Qing, of course it's different.
What's different? I think her professional skills are just so-so.
I admit her technique isn't top-notch, but her voice is truly a gifted choice for lead actresses, and it doesn't sound like a mass-produced voice at all.

Yun Qing doesn't have many works, but her reputation is exceptionally good. After people learned that Wei Qing's fiancée was her, many people's resistance disappeared, and they began to look forward to her works whose copyrights had been bought.
Unexpectedly, Wei Qing's studio suddenly resurrected and denied the rumors that Yun Qing had dubbed those novels.
[Huh? Only one of them features Yun Qing as the voice actor? What the heck? Does Wei Wuxian deserve to be scolded again?]
He's already been criticized for days, a little more won't make a difference.
Yes, but I'm going crazy! My dear wife, when will I be able to hear your heavenly voice again?
Since everyone's wishes were destined to be unfulfilled, Yun Qing decided to carefully refine her next work given the choice.
Therefore, she still hasn't decided which novel to choose.
After all, it takes a lot of effort just to read all these works.
Therefore, compared to the long-awaited work, the loyal fans and listeners saw Yun Qing herself first.
After Wei Qing relentlessly pursued them, their wedding took place six months later.
This was a wedding of the century, with footage of the ceremony being broadcast live on large screens in shopping malls across the country.
As Yun Qing, dressed in a pure white wedding gown, slowly walked over, not only did Wei Qing shed tears of excitement.
Passersby and fans watching on screen were also moved to tears, literally brought to tears by her beauty.
At this moment, everyone except the two people at the wedding shared an unprecedented sense of unity:
What merit or ability does Wei Qing possess?
