I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!

Chapter 469 - 468: #Mu Qiu Plagiarism#

At this moment, the bullet comments started frantically spouting thoughts again.

[Tearfully admitting I’m a face-control addict]

[This game is too brain-draining, I’m done for]

[Almost couldn’t understand/laughing while crying, my brain’s rusty, creaking and unable to turn]

[If I were to play this game, I’d definitely come last, probably wouldn’t even know who screwed me over]

[Noting this down, Mu Qiu’s first time placing last hahaha]

[As expected, Li Yang got screwed badly]

[Hypocrite... Who’s that targeting?]

[Actually, I was just thinking: why hasn’t anyone been demoted to a roaming NPC yet]

[Afraid of being messed with by the Control Lock, even though the round is over, Brother Cheng and Brother Huai still haven’t spoken/helpless.jpg]

[I want to see how the hypocrite performs]

[A hypocrite vampire?! I want to see!]

[Shu Ran is so awkward]

[This episode really had a lot of pitfalls hahahaha]

[Mu Qiu and Guan Yu have cheats, Shu Ran and the others have the privilege of first place, if they all use it at the same time, neither would back down... I want to know who will win in the end]

[Definitely Shu Ran and them! MVP’s cheat can’t be used all the time, but as long as it resets to the raffle start every round, Shu Ran and them will always have the swap privilege]

[Unless it resets to a point where they’ve already used the swap privilege]

[From the second or third episode? The red armband hasn’t been properly worn]

[Guan Yu: Tricky, Brother Huai: Can’t act, Wei Yi: Uh, I can’t do it either, what do I do?!]

[With no brains, you can’t even understand the show, is there a section where brains aren’t needed?]

[Watching handsome guys doesn’t need brains, isn’t staring at their faces delightful?]

[Trending again, truly a regular on trending topics as soon as it airs]

[Let me see, are there topics like #MuQiuLastPlace# or #LiYangScrewed#]

[Hahahahaha, I want to leave comments under their Weibo saying you’re implying them]

[Huh? #MuQiuPlagiarism#?]

[Mu Qiu plagiarism? What the heck? Her works are plagiarized?]

[Whose work did she plagiarize? I’ve followed her books for two years and haven’t seen anything with a similar style, now you’re telling me she plagiarized? Plagiarized herself?]

[Seeing this trending topic, my first thought was—how come it’s Mu Qiu again, I thought the turn should be Li Yang or Guan Yu by now/please don’t hit.jpg]

[I just knew, there’s bound to be new revelations today, the show’s curse is inexplicable]

[Can’t tolerate plagiarism]

[Was the show’s original work plagiarized? It’s so popular, and suddenly this news comes out... at the worst time]

[No way, already admitting on behalf of her without hearing an explanation? What on earth?]

[I don’t believe it]

[Bring out the comparison chart before talking, okay?]

[Outsider asking, what’s a comparison chart anyway]

[Comparison between the plagiarized and the original book]

[Forget it, turning off the comments, some people’s comments are so awful it kills my enthusiasm]

[Watch the show, watch the show, whether she plagiarized or not, there’ll be a response eventually, can’t we discuss after the show ends?]

[Ah, disappointed, I wanted to see other people’s revelations]

[Brother Cheng is so handsome!]

[Brother, be careful even when running!]

[Brother Cheng, hurry and change into a vampire costume!!! I’m ready to lick the screen]

[Tsk, Cheng Zhi is taking over the screen]

[...]

Online news changes rapidly. Due to the show’s mysterious curse, many people were already speculating before this episode aired about who would have revelations.

Most people guessed the three guest stars, especially Jiang Lu and Wei Yi. Some guessed Guan Yu, Li Yang, Qiu Shuang, etc., but as soon as the trending topic appeared, it was Mu Qiu again.

An unknown person, from the moment they joined the show, frequently occupied the top ten trends, and not once with good news—except if dating a popular celebrity counts.

Even passersby feel the trolls this season are lacking, targeting just one person repeatedly, can’t they find dirt on others?

And compared to previous trending topics, this revelation’s ranking wasn’t high, couldn’t even beat #MuQiuPassedOutFromAnger#, maybe the trolls couldn’t afford the trending topic membership.

Still, it’s on the list, and many saw it.

Moreover, if plagiarism were proven true, it wouldn’t be a mere revelation but a scandal for Mu Qiu, having a significant impact.

Even if it’s not proven now, once it spreads throughout the internet, without evidence, many clueless people will blindly believe it.

And the person involved is currently on the show, unable to see these messages, unable to respond.

The situation is quite dire.

In Cheng Zhirang’s studio, Chen Song crossed her arms over her chest, leaned on the workbench, watching the computer screen, her attractive eyebrows furrowed tight.

Meanwhile, several female employees stationed in the studio kept glancing at her expression.

Assistant Wen sat to the side, asking Chen Song, "Sister Chen, need help?"

Generally, when people in the entertainment industry are dating, if something happens to one party, the other party would step in to help explain and support. But now both parties are on the show, unable to help clarify.

Should the studio help? But a studio rushing to help clarify hasn’t been encountered yet, so they cannot act recklessly.

Chen Song took out her phone to check the trending list.

Famous people bring trouble, Mu Qiu is in many people’s way.

"Sister Chen?" Assistant Wen asked again.

Chen Song put her phone away, stood on her high heels, and said, "Help. Contact her friends, and those authors we previously connected with, use their contacts, see if they can help clarify."

Making this decision, as someone who only focuses on her artists, is already risky enough.

She’s seen various couples in the entertainment circle, many who helped clarify and both got dragged down.

If—she’s saying if—Mu Qiu is proven to have plagiarized, but they helped clarify, Cheng Zhirang would definitely be affected.

However, Chen Song took a deep breath; she trusts Cheng Zhirang’s judgment.

"Sister Chen!"

Assistant Wen suddenly shouted, stomping on the ground, sliding the wheeled chair left: "I haven’t contacted anyone yet, but someone has already spoken on her behalf?"

"Who?"

"Her author friend, named... Qing Rong."

Within half an hour of the #MuQiuPlagiarism# news breaking, someone jumped out to help clarify and express support.

The first was Qing Rong; the statement was simple, just a few words.

[Qing Rong: Mu Qiu did not plagiarize]

He has many readers, and after sharing, the interest quickly rose, with this Weibo following #MuQiuPlagiarism# tag, topped the related Weibo second.

After him, the second to clarify was Mu Qiu’s editor.

[The Eighth Group Edits Early to Get Rich: I’ve meticulously reviewed every book by Mu Qiu before recommending each one. I can prove she’s never plagiarized. Those speaking of plagiarism without comparison charts, wanting to convict her with casual remarks, please thoroughly study the "Network Information Legal Act" first]

After the editor, other authors, readers, also emerged to speak. While the party involved was unaware, many had already stepped up to clarify.
