Chapter 322 -321: Is It Not More Than Just This Loss?
Luo Ning’s Fantasy Martial Arts Drama updated every other day, and released one episode each day.
There was no helping it, since the first season only had about a dozen episodes. Releasing too many at once wasn’t good for sustaining later viewership.
These days, web dramas mostly aimed to keep viewers on tenterhooks. Theirs was updating every other day, whereas many dramas only updated weekly.
It was the day of release again.
The number of viewers clicking in to watch had increased once more.
Then everyone saw Junior Sister discovering her father’s death was the work of the heroine’s father and immediately went to confront her.
Little did she expect to encounter the heroine sharing her innermost feelings with the Senior Brother and also discovered the two of them in an affair.
In a fury, Junior Sister drew her sword, intent on killing the heroine.
Who would have thought the heroine would turn on the waterworks, playing the weak white lotus once again, and the Senior Brother, unable to restrain himself, jumped out to protect her, accidentally sending Junior Sister tumbling off the cliff.
Then, the hero went to seek out the Sect Leader to turn himself in, willing to accept punishment, but was brainwashed and persuaded by the heroine in various ways.
Guilty, he personally led a search party to look for Junior Sister at the bottom of the cliff, but unfortunately, they couldn’t find her.
They even gave Bo Xiangxiang, the heroine, a close-up shot, her face full of displeasure and undisguised jealousy.
“[Is this really the heroine? She’s not just a white lotus, but also has all the wrong values. She’s like a vicious supporting female character.]”
“[Bo Xiangxiang’s jealous white lotus expression is actually really well done, her ‘acting’ is awesome.]”
“[It takes talent to turn a refreshing heroine into a white lotus, vicious supporting female. Only Bo Xiangxiang could do it, her ‘acting’ is indeed amazing.]”
“[Out of all the dramas I’ve seen, Bo Xiangxiang’s heroine is the most hateful one I’ve ever come across. There’s no comparison.]”
“[I used to watch a drama with a super pretentious and annoying heroine, and I thought it was too atrocious and irritating.
But now I’ve realized, Bo Xiangxiang’s heroine can even top that, making me feel visually impaired.]”
“[Haha, it sure isn’t easy to play a heroine that viewers hate so much, kudos to Bo Xiangxiang.]”
The barrage of comments were all criticisms, with occasional praise from Bo Xiangxiang’s fans, which was also promptly shot down.
The scene quickly shifted to one year later.
Junior Sister, dressed in a black gown with a seductive and wicked aura, suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
“[Ah, my heart just got struck by Cupid’s arrow, how can Brother Ning be so beautiful!]”
“[Brother Ning looks so bewitching and evil, too beautiful!]”
“[Heaven, is that my Brother Ning?]”
“[Heaven, is that still my lively and adorable Junior Sister? She’s completely transformed into an evil woman from somewhere else, absolutely gorgeous!]”
“[It’s the first time I’ve learned that stunning beauty can exist through time, and that’s my Brother Ning.]”
“[Luo Ning’s acting is just too good. I used to think she brought the lively Junior Sister to life in the early stages, but I was afraid she might struggle with playing the dark transformation.
But seeing her once again as the witch, I feel once more that this is exactly the darkened Junior Sister, brought to life again.]”
“[This is the first time I’ve seen Brother Ning take on such a role and embody the witch’s aura so brilliantly. Before, I was worried given how bright and sunny she is in person, wondering how she could portray a darkened witch, but who would have thought she’d be so stunning.]”
“[Her aura has completely changed, the darkened witch vibe is so strong. It’s the first time I’ve seen a female star portray this wicked and enchanting effect.]”
“[At this moment, I suddenly feel like Brother Ning definitely has the potential to be the Evil Woman who brings disaster to nations.]”
“[Seeing such a Junior Sister, I think she’s exactly the Evil Woman. If I were a King, I would definitely prefer a beauty over the kingdom.]”
“[This drama is just too good, after her transformation, Brother Ning is too cool.]”
“[After seeing Luo Ning’s transformation, I’ve fallen into this drama and can’t get out anymore, I want to see how she’ll make the trashy men and vile women suffer.]”
“I feel the same, Junior Sister loves with openness and passion, but when she hates, she cuts things off decisively and straightforwardly with that scummy Senior Brother. I just love this attitude.”
“I’m with you, I can’t stand those leg-hugging second females who get hurt by lousy male leads over and over but still treat them as their first love.”
“I’m absolutely in love with Brother Ning, he perfectly brought the novel’s Junior Sister to life right before our eyes.”
“All those online trolls who couldn’t stop bashing Brother Ning’s acting, saying it’s not even on par with the female lead of that Fantasy Martial Arts Drama next door, not to mention worse than Bao Bailian, now they’ve got egg on their face, don’t they?”
“Exactly, Brother Ning was doubted for her acting and trended on the hot search several times, and now she has shown everyone just how epic her acting is.”
“I always thought Brother Ning was a variety show king, but I never expected his acting to be totally top-tier as well.”
“I’ve never believed in trending searches; I knew Brother Ning’s acting couldn’t be bad.”
“That’s right, when has Brother Ning ever disappointed us? We Ning Fans have always been calm; it’s just the haters and the paid trolls jumping up and down with excitement.”
“Ha-ha, what Brother Ning does best is slapping faces with real talent. He’s done it again — I just want to ask all the haters and trolls are you scared yet?”

This time, the bullet comments were all about Luo Ning’s acting and her stunning beauty as Luo Ning.
After turning to the dark side, Junior Sister returns to her sect for revenge, not giving a damn about her guilt-ridden scummy Senior Brother. The Queen Witch’s aura was in full force; the plot was reaching a thrilling peak, and everyone was really enjoying the show.
The audience was eagerly waiting for Junior Sister to torment the scummy Senior Brother and the white lotus female lead.
Then, pictures of Luo Ning’s transformation after turning dark began spreading on Weibo, quickly making it to the trending searches.
Various video platforms were also flooded with short clips of Junior Sister returning to the sect with her aura completely unleashed.
This wasn’t something arranged by Director Zhu and Star Emperor Entertainment through paid trolls; it was done by fans and shocked passersby.
The heat soared once again, with people curious about this beautiful witch and what drama she was in; then they unwittingly fell into the trap.
When the ratings came out the next day, Director Zhu’s face was practically blooming with smiles because it was a hit.
Their show’s ratings had exploded past Chenxing Entertainment’s competing Fantasy Martial Arts Drama, and their score skyrocketed to a 9.2.
Meanwhile, the ratings of the show next door had fallen to an 8.9, mainly because Yuan Hanyi had focused his energy on smear campaigns recently and hadn’t encouraged people to flood the ratings.
But their Fantasy Martial Arts Drama had real data; Director Zhu hadn’t paid anyone to inflate the scores, which is why he was so overjoyed.
Then, he shared a screenshot of the ratings in the drama crew’s WeChat group, inviting everyone to come out and strut their stuff.
The reason he did this was not only out of excitement and happiness but also to let Bo Xiangxiang see.
And through Bo Xiangxiang’s mouth, to tell Yuan Hanyi how successful they had been.
No matter how much you hype up your own show or pay trolls to smear ours, you are still knocked out by Brother Ning’s astounding debut.
As expected, when Bo Xiangxiang saw that the normally inactive work group had suddenly received over a hundred new messages, a bad premonition welled up inside her, and she clicked in.
There she saw the ratings screenshot and the comparison chart posted by Director Zhu, and her face couldn’t help but darken.
Although she was the female lead in this drama, she didn’t want it to be a hit at all.
So, she masochistically went to watch the drama, read the comments and bullet comments, and felt so angry she could vomit blood.
In the comments, it was said that her acting was good, but it was sarcastic. In contrast, praise for Luo Ning’s acting was genuine and abundant.
She, the female lead, became a mere foil for the Second Female, and how could she not be furious?
Then she checked the hot search and indeed, their Fantasy Martial Arts Drama and Luo Ning’s acting had both trended, which filled her with a frenzied sense of panic.
She had a bad feeling that because of the drama’s explosion in popularity that day and the criticism she faced, she lost her chance at a comeback and also seemed to have lost something most important to her.
Because of the drama, Bo Xiangxiang was criticized, and her popularity took a nosedive. Her luck didn’t just fail to increase; it plummeted sharply.
Bo Xiangxiang didn’t know, but because of the drama’s failure, her luck had been reduced to less than half, and thus she lost the aura of the female lead.
Now she no longer had the capital of the female lead’s luck; what she lost was more than just that…
