Everything proceeded smoothly according to Lin Xiaoxiao's plan.
Although Lin Xiaoxiao paid her, she made no demands. In other words, she didn't have to praise the blogger; she could even criticize them.
This left many吐槽 (tu cao, meaning to criticize or complain) bloggers baffled, but they all started updating their videos. At first, they were doing it to make money, but after watching the show, they realized it was truly a godsend for吐槽 bloggers, or rather, a source of material.
Now, famous and unknown bloggers, big and small, all flocked to the scene to complain.
When the homepage notifications were pushed out, Lin Xiaoxiao realized that things were getting out of control.
Fortunately, after clicking on it, all I found were complaints and criticisms.
Lin Xiaoxiao's tense mood relaxed a lot, and she prepared to go home and cry about quitting the entertainment industry.
"Ugh, bro, they don't understand the core of my show at all. They're just criticizing for the sake of criticizing, it's completely fabricated... And the audience, they have no taste either. I want to go home..."
While pretending to cry, Lin Xiaoxiao secretly calculated that she had suffered such a great "injury" that she needed to go abroad for a trip to relax.
Lin Xiaoxiao's older brother, CEO Lin, was so furrowed his brow that he could practically crush a mosquito between his eyebrows. He really wanted to praise Lin Xiaoxiao's drama, but he just couldn't bring himself to do it.
This melodramatic soap opera, triggered by a mix-up of babies at birth, made Da Lin even doubt his memory of the name when he started watching the first episode.
I searched again, and the name was correct, "Love Under the Moonlight," no problem. The synopsis was also correct: a story about a man and a woman from very different social classes who meet, get to know each other, and fall in love.
Mr. Lin confirmed everything, and it matched Lin Xiaoxiao's description perfectly. Mr. Lin was now completely bewildered. Lin Xiaoxiao went into the entertainment industry to pursue her ambitions and fulfill her dreams, just to film melodramatic soap operas?!
In the end, Da Lin could only offer a few words of comfort against his conscience: "The shots are all beautiful."
Lin Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "How could it not be beautiful? This is all real beauty created by the little money I spent in my bank account. If it's not beautiful, I'd be letting down all that money."
However, Lin Xiaoxiao still went along with it and finalized her plan to travel abroad to relax and then go home to lie down.
On the other hand, the drama "Love Under the Moonlight" has aroused strong curiosity among many viewers due to its numerous flaws and frequent appearances in the public eye. With the mentality of "I'll see how bad it can be," many viewers clicked on the drama.
In the opening scene of "Love Under the Moonlight," the female lead jumps off a high-rise building. The scene then shifts to two girls with the same birth date who accidentally switch identities because the brother's mistake caused their tags to fall off.
One became the carefree, wealthy daughter of a rich man, while the other entered into an impoverished family where she became pregnant out of wedlock.
The two girls have been separated ever since they left the hospital, living two completely different lives.
At first glance, this seems like a typical swap drama, but unexpectedly, the next episode shattered the audience's expectations: the rich heiress went missing in a car accident and also lost her memory.
The rich heiress grew up abroad and returned to China for a marriage alliance. Since no one in China had ever seen the rich heiress, her brother found a female lead to play her.
The story goes that the female protagonist, who comes from a poor family, dropped out of high school to work because her mother became seriously ill.
Unsurprisingly, the female protagonist, who was struggling financially, agreed.
The female lead can resemble a rich heiress by 70-80% through makeup, so she and the man she is engaged to meet always meet at night.
Meanwhile, the wealthy heiress who suffered from amnesia was actually rescued by the male protagonist.
The story abruptly ends here, and the latest episode won't be updated until tomorrow. Viewers are both cursing and secretly looking forward to the new plot. They're even scratching their heads in their sleep at night, wondering if the male lead has finally exposed the female lead.
In just four episodes, the series has already piled up a ton of melodramatic plot devices, including swapped children, body doubles, car accidents, amnesia, and identity swaps.
The story unfolded so quickly and was so melodramatic that viewers were immediately captivated by new developments before they even had a chance to complain. They couldn't help but speculate about what would happen next, and the more they guessed, the more curious they became. "Love Under the Moonlight" completely piqued the audience's interest. The visual impact of the real-life filming locations also changed many viewers' holiday plans.
The next day, two new episodes were released, and the viewership data reached a new high.
The wealthy heiress, suffering from amnesia, works as a maid in the male protagonist's household. At night, dressed in drab clothes, she stands in the darkness, watching the glamorous couple enjoying a candlelight dinner. The intense light and the stark contrast between their wealth fuel her jealousy.
This scene was as if the two of them had returned to their respective places.
The female lead comes from a poor background, and she and the male lead often disagree, leading to frequent arguments. Beneath her seemingly greedy exterior lies a strong sense of pride.
Interspersed throughout are some of the female protagonist's memories. She works hard to earn money to pay for her mother's medical treatment while also trying not to give up going to school. However, all her efforts are shattered by the high medical expenses brought about by the sudden deterioration of her condition.
She never felt inferior because of poverty at school, nor did she feel inferior because she didn't have a father. On the contrary, she seemed strong. With her frail body, she stubbornly held up the last pillar that hadn't yet collapsed for this leaky little family.
However, the wind and rain will not show mercy just because she is strong and stubborn.
Therefore, after each argument with the male lead, when faced with accusations and humiliation from the rich heiress's brother, the female lead would never passively accept the insults; she would simply state that this was how the money was received.
As time went on, the rich heiress's brother was also attracted to the female lead, who was like a resilient weed, as if even if the sky fell, she could bravely face it.
