The internet was in an uproar, and the haters could only seize on the #ShiXiFakeHeiress# point to ridicule Shi Xi.
"Poor little heiress, the ugly duckling of our time."
"The real heiress didn't say anything, but netizens jumped up and down to defend her, but unfortunately she didn't appreciate it."
Shi Xi's fans could only post Ning Yu's classic reply: 【You're the beast, I'm a human.】 (Chapter 142)
The haters are in a state of impotent rage.
The gala is still being broadcast live.
After the celebrities entered, various awards were presented.
Lishi TV organized this Midsummer Gala to promote its own films and television shows and increase the popularity of its artists. Therefore, most of the guests were young artists.
Shi Xi sat in the front row, watching the award-winning dramas on the big screen—most of which she had never heard of.
The awards have been numerous: Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Popular Supporting Actor, Popular Supporting Actress, Best Songwriter, Popular Songwriter, Popular Singer, Gold Medal Composer...
Shi Xi smiled and clapped.
The live chat was filled with question marks: "Who is this? Who is this again? Who is this yet again?"
Aside from the question marks from passersby, there were explanations from fans of each group.
However, most of the celebrities who attended this banquet were not very famous.
Even combined, they don't generate as much buzz as Shi Xi alone.
So bad that even when houses collapsed, no one was injured or killed.
Shi Xi tried to hear from someone she knew.
No.
The awards ceremony continued.
"The winner of the Popular Newcomer Award is—Shi Xi!"
Shi Xi clapped mechanically without thinking, and was slightly surprised when she heard her own name called.
ah?
Did she also win an award?
Seeing her photo and name displayed in gold on the big screen, Shi Xi quickly snapped out of her daze, smiled faintly, and got up to receive her award.
In the footage, the girl looks slightly surprised, then smiles gently and walks gracefully onto the stage.
When walking the red carpet, the lighting was dim due to the rain, and everyone was even more amazed by Shi Xi's beauty and the Crimson Flame she wore.
When she went on stage to receive the award, everyone saw clearly what Shi Xi was wearing that day.
Her long pink hair was braided and pinned up at the back of her head, with a few wisps of hair framing her forehead. Her eyebrows were arched, and her eyes were bright and expressive. She wore a pair of white jade pendant earrings, which further enhanced her ethereal and otherworldly气质 (qi zhi - a kind of refined elegance/aura).
The dress was a long, white, off-the-shoulder gown, through which the girl's crimson jewels were clearly visible. Embroidered on the pristine white gown were roses that stretched upwards from the hem; as the girl walked, she swayed gracefully, like a fairy amidst a flower garden.
Stepping onto the stage, Shi Xi accepted the trophy.
She never expected that she would win an award just for attending the party.
Although many people have won the award, it's clear that this trophy isn't very prestigious.
I'm so happy to win an award!
"...I will bring you more works in the future. Thank you all for your love and support!"
Shi Xi smiled and gave a brief acceptance speech before leaving the stage, clutching the trophy.
The live chat was filled with congratulations.
"Most Popular Newcomer Award, Shi Xi is awesome!"
"Oh no, I just remembered! Xixi Zi has only been in the industry for two months! It feels like she's been in the industry for two years already!"
"She became famous for her mermaid costume right from her debut and became a popular mentor on a large variety show. Xi Xi Zi is the destined star of the entertainment industry!"
[Nobody cares about this kind of low-level award, right? What's there for Shi Xi to brag about?]
[Popularity? Where did Shi Xi get her popularity? Did she buy eight million followers overnight?]
"You even know about buying followers, so you seem to be quite interested in Shi Xi?"
"If you don't like someone but still follow them, doesn't that mean Shi Xi is popular? Haters are fans too."
