Chapter 684: Using Comments As a Weapon
‘He Is Your Biggest Hero’ left a comment. ‘I’ve indeed lived a long life before witnessing this. This industry is really messed-up… Lin Yan has been lambasted by everyone because of this incident, yet she didn’t even explain at all. What a good-natured actress.’
‘Long Roads, Distant Clouds, Infinite Return’ typed, ‘Actually, this matter had plenty of loopholes to begin with, but Lin Yan seems to be a magnet for scandals so everyone chose to cast away all suspicions at the sight of her. Of course, the real truth remains a mystery. I’m not in a position to comment.’
‘Stranger and Jade, A Sorrow-Less Life’ typed, ‘Actually, I like Lin Yan…’
…
It took only a short while for this trending post to blow up, even implicating Lin Shuya as well. People swarmed to Lin Shuya’s account to voice their doubts, and some people even chided and insulted her.
‘Winter Owl’ commented, ‘Lin Shuya, you’re really shameless. Although Yeva’s role might have belonged to you, Yeva had already announced her decision to choose Lin Yan to portray her. You pushed the blame on Lin Yan and even accused her of stealing the role. I didn’t realize how pretentious you were in the past.’
‘Colossal White Tiger’ cried out, ‘Lin Shuya, I misjudged you! I had no idea what sort of person you really are! You’ve been claiming that Lin Yan stole everything from you! How dare you pretend to be pitiful and naive? Everything was fake! We need to thank Master Lang Mang for being so quick-tempered. Otherwise, we would have continued to be fooled by you!’
‘Big Dipper’ typed, ‘Pfft! You are an immoral woman! Your ability to lie is much better than your acting ability! Lin Shuya, what motive did you have for maligning Lin Yan? You have been using comments as your weapon all this while!’
‘Immeasurable Deity Signifies a Calamity’ replied, ‘That’s what I’ve been saying. How could the production crew be stupid enough to give up on Lin Shuya? The real reason was because Yeva has appeared with a decree! Lin Shuya, G.o.d will punish you for your sins. You shouldn’t have lied if you didn’t want anyone to find out. I hope you regret this and repent to avoid being struck by lightning!’
‘I Like Watermelon’ commented, ‘All of you are ridiculous for berating Shuya. When did she ever accuse Lin Yan of s.n.a.t.c.hing her role? Show me the evidence if there is any! Shuya must have been in a bad mood because she lost the role. That’s why she didn’t speak up at all. Why are you all spinning stories with your imagination? Everyone knows what kind of person Lin Yan is. Did we even need Shuya to say anything?’
Sensing the public’s wrath, Lin Shuya had bought an army of accounts to support her and reverse the situation to her advantage.
‘The Wind and Storm Dominates All’ commented, ‘Lin Shuya has never accused Lin Yan of anything. She never even said a word.’
‘Lonely King’ typed, ‘You were the ones who criticized Lin Yan. Now, you are firing at Shuya. Shuya never said anything about Lin Yan stealing her role. You did, in fact. Now, you are all pushing the blame back on Lin Shuya? Don’t be so despicable.’
Thanks to those accounts and Shuya’s fans, many people who had voiced their suspicions were buried.
Frankly speaking, Lin Shuya had never once openly accused Lin Yan. She had merely chosen silence as her answer when everyone had flocked to her account to ask her to explain.
No one could be certain if Lin Shuya’s silence had been deliberate or not.

Lin Yan was slumped comfortably on the couch as she read the debate going on. She then logged in to her private account.
‘Lin Yan, I will support you! Hang on!’
