Suddenly, the communicator rang. Hua Xiange closed the platform page she was browsing on her alternate account and answered the call.
That was his agent, Zheng Qian:
"My second young master, did you see the data on the Star Film platform? Just 1 minute and 48 seconds ago, your 'Mermaid Record' overtook 'The Infiltrator' to take the top spot! The box office is much, much better than we expected! It has surpassed..."
Zheng Qian became increasingly excited, and his voice grew louder and louder, so Hua Xiange quietly turned the volume down.
"Hey? Second Young Master, are you listening to me again?"
Hua Xiange poured herself a glass of red wine and casually echoed:
"I've listened to it... Mmm, it smells so good~"
Zheng Qian immediately choked:
"Never mind, just remember to post something on Xingwei today, make sure to include your ranking results, and be sure to thank the platform and your fans."
You must be tired today, so I won't bother you anymore.
Get some rest early, don't drink too much, or your face will be swollen tomorrow morning; I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow, but don't sneak any snacks; don't stay up late tonight, you have several events tomorrow, so you need to be in good shape..."
Hua Xiange silently withdrew her hand from the food app, muttering "Mmm-hmm-hmm" all over her face.
Zheng Qian excitedly talked about the future: "After the ocean-themed concert this summer, your status will definitely rise to another level! Your popularity is already higher than before the incident. Take it slow, be down-to-earth, there won't be any problems!"
As he spoke, the topic veered off course:
Sigh, speaking of which, if it weren't for your sister suddenly revealing your identity and causing so much trouble, you wouldn't have been vilified like that back then..."
"Zheng Qian".
Hua Xiange's clear, melodious voice interrupted his rambling.
Zheng Qian immediately understood and said repeatedly:
"Okay, okay, I understand, yes, it's not entirely her fault. She was just tricked by the rivals and got hacked. It has nothing to do with her."
"I won't say anything about her, okay?"
Hua Xiange didn't say anything.
Zheng Qian sighed: "Hang up... I really don't know how you, with your terrible temper, can put up with your sister..."
His second half of the sentence faded as he hung up.
Hua Xiange gazed at the night sky for a long time before finally curving her red lips into a slight smile, her red eyes revealing indifference:
"Just a... pitiful domestic fowl, nothing more."

Meanwhile, in Kulei's room, 422 had been coaxing Hua Changle gently for several minutes.
The cause, of course, was that celebrity's second brother. He failed in his duty by not alerting her in time that the target had appeared, almost causing her to be exposed.
Yes, yes, it's my fault, all my fault... But actually, you're not entirely without fault either, are you?
Hua Changle stared wide-eyed in astonishment:
"And now you're turning around and blaming me?"
No, you, you did have a tiny bit of oversight, didn't you?
Look how much Hua Xiange looks like Hua Qingyun. Any normal person could guess that, right?
Besides, the description of Hua Xiange in the original work is quite detailed, isn't it?
Your reaction time is also slow.
Hua Changle laughed in exasperation: "Huh? You want me to take the original novel, with its several paragraphs of physical descriptions, and compare them to a real person's face?"
Wow, this is from another dimension, bro!
Can a normal person really look like someone from a novel?
【Flower String Song】
Hua Changle stubbornly retorted: "He's also from a novel."

Hua Changle was speechless.
—She's so beautiful! How can a real person look like someone from a novel!
Hua Anning is so beautiful, I'm so sad...
I'll pull up his information for you.
[Target #2: Hua Xiange]
[28 years old, singer, actor, honorary president of Xingying Entertainment Company...]
16-year-old boy band debut
At the age of 17, he won the Song of the Year Award and the Most Popular New Singer Award with his solo single "Fierce Wind".
He experienced a low point after terminating his contract at 18 and going solo.
At the age of 20, she made a strong comeback to the industry with three songs from her solo album "Long Sky" series...
Became the most influential singer of the year at the age of 23...
She entered the entertainment industry at the age of 24, starring in her first web series...
At 27, he won the Flying Eagle Award for Best Actor for his role in the film "Broken Wings," becoming the youngest Flying Eagle Best Actor winner...
In the same year, during the variety show "Beyond Limits", his hidden background as a member of the Hua family was exposed because of the original owner of the body. Subsequently, a flood of negative information about him, such as "creating a persona to play the victim", "effeminate", "spoiled brat", and "abandoned son of a wealthy family", was exposed, and he was severely cyberbullied.
Subsequently, she gained wider recognition for her role as "Wei Yanchen," reversing her previous negative public opinion...
Three months ago, he won his first Best Actor award for his role as "Wei Yanchen"...
Hua Changle stopped listening after that. When she heard that Hua Xiange was being cyberbullied because of the original owner, she was already petrified.
Hua Xiange is independent and proud, hates being restrained, and has a poor relationship with her parents.
Hua Changle revealed his background and then led the conversation to discuss how family discord directly led to the breakdown of their relationship...
Hua Changle collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face.
"You...you're not dead, are you?"
Hua Changle pursed her lips, sniffed bravely, and asked in a trembling voice, "What about... how's the favorability rating?"
[Target #2: Hua Xiange]
[Target's Favorability: 100]
[Target's current favorability: 2]
"Huh?" Hua Changle, on his deathbed, sat up in shock.
"It's a positive number?"
She sat cross-legged on the bed, propping herself up on her legs as she thought, "This doesn't make sense."
In the original novel, Hua Xiange disregarded the objections of Hua Lihan and Wei Zi, even falling out with Hua Lihan and nearly losing his status as the young master of the Hua family, all in an effort to debut.
