My Wife Is a Superstar

The video post on Weibo depicted the conversation between Liyi Danfeng and Ning Ran with red subtitles.

Initially, many netizens had no clue what the video was about. However, when they searched for the fictional characters in Ning Ran's remark on the internet, they realized what happened.

Indeed, Ning Ran was actually cracking a highbrow joke. However, Liyi Danfeng, who called herself a book lover, didn't understand the reference and blamed Ning Ran with her fans.

Of course, the fans and netizens watching the livestream weren't willing to admit they were uncultured.

So, some of them left comments such as: I understood Ding Mi's joke all along, but I didn't reveal it because I'm worried I'll get attacked!

Another remarked: Me, too. Ding Mi is genuinely remarkable. She unintentionally revealed how well-read she was. Meanwhile, the so-called book lover Danfeng didn't get it.

Danfeng's fans immediately retorted: Danfeng understood the joke too, but she pretended not to. Danfeng is a modern woman. Why should she read a book from ancient times? It's normal for her not to get the reference!

Some fans tried to paint Danfeng as the victim: Just leave Danfeng alone! Do you know how hardworking she is?

Of course, the show being talked about on the internet was something the crew was hoping to see. The more fans of all parties fighting each other, the better as long as it didn't spiral out of control. After all, the fiasco would attract more viewers.

However, that Weibo post was only just the beginning. After a while, another post became a trending topic.

The post's title was “Two Noobish Teammates,” and it was attached with a video clip.

The clip showed Ye Meng and Liyi Danfeng drinking coffee and eating at a cafe.

A timestamp on the video showed the two were in the cafe while Ning Ran was busy in the kitchen. The netizens were already suspicious of Ye Meng's story regarding her twisted ankle when she winced after Ning Ran pressed her right leg, even though she claimed her left leg was injured.

Ye Meng's deceit was instantly shattered when that video went online.

Not only did Ye Meng lie, but she also incriminated Ning Ran, even though she went to drink coffee in a cafe instead of preparing the dishes.

As for Liyi Danfeng, despite her claim that she wouldn't eat desserts due to her desire to lose weight, she was caught on camera enjoying a slice of cheesecake.

By then, everyone knew Liyi Danfeng and Ye Meng were liars who left Ning Ran alone in the house to do the hard work while they relaxed outside. Furthermore, they had the gall to paint her as the bad guy when they returned.

Ning Ran had nearly finished cleaning the kitchen when that post became a trending topic. Concurrently, Ye Meng and Liyi Danfeng were just chilling on a couch, eating nuts.

The post was rapidly shared by a few major entertainment accounts. They also constructed the narrative that Ye Meng was a deceitful host who mistreated her guests, possessing a demeanor unbefitting a female superstar.

When Danfeng's fans, who had been berating Ning Ran, noticed where the narrative was heading, they turned against Ye Meng.

Danfeng's fans always managed to justify her actions. For that incident, they claimed Danfeng didn't know what she was doing due to her young age and was influenced by Ye Meng.

As a result, Ye Meng received a lot of ire from the netizens.

People started admonishing her for not acting like a female superstar and setting bad example for a younger star.

Additionally, Liyi Danfeng's fans began scolding Ye Meng and praising Ning Ran for being tolerant and mature.

Meanwhile, Ye Meng watched Ning Ran busying and felt smug over her ploy. She still believed that she could take the latter down while the tsunami on the internet was about to drown her.

Of course, Ye Meng's agency knew what was happening on the internet. However, the contract stipulated that her agent couldn't contact her during the live broadcast.

Finally, Ning Ran finished cleaning the kitchen. As she returned to the living room to rest, Ye Meng asked, “Can you prepare floral tea for me? I have a habit of drinking them during the night.”

Ning Ran didn't find the request troublesome and did as Ye Meng asked.

After bringing the tea to Ye Meng, Ning Ran could finally rest.

She had no breaks during the hours she spent preparing the dishes.

During the night, the more mature audiences had gotten off work and finally had time to watch the livestream.

They were very different from Liyi Danfeng's foolish fans and capable of analyzing the situation. When those people saw how Liyi Danfeng and Ye Meng lazed around while Ning Ran was working, they commented: This is a three-man show, so why is Ding Mi the only one doing the work? Is Liyi Danfeng and Ye Meng's sole mission to eat and do literally nothing else?

Another person remarked: In terms of attractiveness, Ding Mi is way ahead of them. What gives them the right to leave all the work to Ding Mi?

Someone typed: Does the script for the show only include Ding Mi doing everything? Did the director hit his head and become stupid?

Those commenters were either working individuals or university students. Not only were they admonishing Ning Ran's costars with humor, but they were also reprimanding the production team. The director was, understandably, pissed that he was getting flak too. Ye Meng and Liyi Danfeng did go a little too far. It's good that people are talking about the show. However, I can't give the audience the impression that the production team and the two of them are targeting Ding Mi. Otherwise, we'll offend Star Entertainment or, even worse, Nan Chen. That is something we must avoid at all costs.

Therefore, the production team's official Weibo account posted an explanation on the website. They clarified that the people starring in the show were merely guests trying to entertain the audience and that no one was being targeted.

They also emphasized that the guests were responsible for their actions and that their comments didn't represent the show's standpoint.

Since the production crew wouldn't take the brunt of the criticisms, someone else had to.

That someone was, of course, Ye Meng.

Soon, the three women entered the final stage of the broadcast. According to the schedule, the livestream only lasted until ten at night. It would be their official resting time.

During that period, they could do anything they wanted before the livestream resumed at seven the next morning.

They didn't have much to do during the last hour, so they just drank tea and chatted.

As the host, Ye Meng picked a few topics to talk about.

Facing Ning Ran, she asked, “How does it feel to become popular? Do you feel any different compared to before?”

It was a trick question because if Ning Ran answered, it would mean she admitted she thought she was a celebrity.

However, she didn't fall for the trap. Instead, she smiled. “I'll answer that question once I become famous. For now, I can't tell you anything.”

That response garnered many netizens’ approval, spurring them to believe she had a high emotional quotient.

Then, Ning Ran asked, “As our senior, can you tell us the most important thing about being a celebrity?”

Ye Meng answered pretentiously, “Honesty, of course. A celebrity must be virtuous and honest. Only when they possessed those traits will they be able to fly higher.”

The netizens commented in unison: How shameless!
