Chapter 150: The First Business of Honey Qing: the Cherry Blossom of Divine Favor: and the Suffering Cat Cat

Chu Yuanqing’s wedding dress post from last month on Weibo had garnered a terrifying three million likes, over one hundred thousand comments, and more than three million shares.

The comment section was either buzzing with excitement from fans of "Meet You in the Mist" and "Sheng Qing Tong Yin" or filled with praises from fans who couldn’t get enough of the stunning visuals and called her ‘wife’ countless times.

Hmm, for a small antique that isn’t very open-minded, it’s like a wild "hell on earth", full of terrifying things that make your eyes widen in fear. It’s impossible to seriously take a visit, let alone respond to business inquiries.

And the key issue is that she was seen wearing a wedding dress by so many people!

At this moment, the comments section of this Weibo is still being constantly refreshed:

"My dear, bliss ❤️❤️❤️."

Chu Yuanqing’s skin felt hot, she felt more and more embarrassed as she looked. With the intense magic feedback, her pupils turned a gorgeous gold color, the alluring mist rising, coupled with the coral pink blush on her neck and cheeks, she looked very cute.

The girl tried to hold back her emotions, looking serious, decided not to look at the hateful comments section anymore, and scrolled to the top, but caught a glimpse of her own photo.

In the picture, she was wearing a wedding dress under a transparent umbrella, passionately kissing a version of a bridal cherry blossom JK.

Chu Yuanqing couldn’t control her reaction on the spot, couldn’t help but close her eyes and cover her cheeks with her hands.

While others may not know, she was aware that this segment was indeed in the advertisement, and even clearer and more detailed than this picture. There may even be outtakes of a failed kiss, making it the ultimate social death scene.

"Why do so many people like watching?"

Chu Yuanqing was getting anxious.

Even though she had already decided to trade her dignity for attention when endorsing the wedding dress, she never expected so many people to pay attention to this wedding dress endorsement!

It’s frustrating. Logically, this is just an advertisement, right? She and Miyuki haven’t even debuted yet, there’s no reason for this ad to attract so much attention before it even airs!

Could it be… that she really has a lot of fans now?

Chu Yuanqing used to open the app and immediately post on Weibo without even checking her messages. She hadn’t paid attention to how much her fan numbers had increased in the past month. Now, she hesitated for a moment and decided to take a look, muttering to herself:

"I remember it was 7.65 million last time. I haven’t gone live much this month, and the peak is over, so it shouldn’t have increased much."

The next second, the data entered her sight.

——11.59 million.

Chu Yuanqing’s eyes were confused, her fingertips trembling, at a loss for words, falling into silence.

Huh? Is this it?

Although Weibofan has always had a reputation for having a lot of inactive followers, you can buy followers at a low price. Also, when you register a new account, it often recommends a batch of celebrities, and many people simply choose to follow them with just one click, and then don’t bother to unfollow.

So, normally speaking, among millions of followers, it is not an exaggeration to say that at least eighty percent are invalid followers. They are all just a facade of popularity, not genuine fans, without monetization value, and won’t bring much traffic.

Before appearing on the show, Chu Yuanqing spent a long time googling, trying to understand the relevant industry. In the process, she came across a comment about the quality of Weibofan followers.

A million active followers walk sideways, two million active followers become top performers.

If there are five million active followers, that’s ruling the world.

But even if the millions of followers are mostly inactive, in the entertainment circle of Daxia, it is considered a third or fourth-tier following. For a newcomer who has not yet debuted and has not been active on the public screen for long, gaining this many followers in less than two months is considered a miracle of growing followers, very surprising.

Chu Yuanqing was very sad.

Even though she wanted to become popular, level up as a magical girl, and save the world, the success in her idol career made her feel a bit strange.

No, what matters now isn’t that, but the advertisement that’s about to be released, causing great anxiety!

Joking aside, even though the ad hasn’t been released yet, just a Weibo teaser from the brand, Miyuki, and herself, sparked such a high level of discussion. Imagine how much more attention it will get when the ad actually airs on various platforms.

Chu Yuanqing pursed her pink lips and suddenly lost her enthusiasm for business.

After some careful thought, receiving an Artificial Lantern meant she was definitely on the official watchlist, so she couldn’t be eliminated anytime soon.

Just by seeing Dream Weaver Rabbit introduce new rules to keep the holders of [Heart Flow], you can tell how challenging it is to be eliminated.

Therefore, she could continue recording "Dazzling Stage" for a long time, as long as she stays off Weibo and the internet, and when she goes out, wears a mask and sunglasses to avoid any trouble!

"It’s better to focus on her fans now."

"If Little Shu doesn’t call in the next ten minutes, I’ll call her instead."

Chu Yuanqing resisted the urge to immediately call her cute daughter and chose to ignore some negative comments, focusing on the lovely and pure comments posted by Little Yuanxiao.

"Although the stars shine brightly on the stage, you are the only light in my eyes! Keep it up Qing Qing! Make sure to reach the highest stage!"

"I don’t usually follow celebrities, but Honey Qing always has a magical charm that motivates me. Seeing her quickly mature and get closer to her dreamlike self, I feel like I have regained my lost courage without realizing it. Thank you, my little idol."

"Don’t underestimate yourself, Honey Qing! You are excellent and beautiful, deserving of love and admiration. Stand tall to face us and the stage. ‘Dazzling Stage’ is a great opportunity, and you will definitely achieve your dream!"

"You are a young idol now and will become a big star in the future! I look forward to the day when Honey Qing performs on a world-class stage, and I see you on the stage or screen. Isn’t this a kind of peak encounter?"

"I want to see Honey Qing on more stages, and I want to see her more active in the future. But what I want to see the most is the little idol who is always passionate about the stage, sincere about her dreams, and gentle to others. So… please don’t lose!"

Chu Yuanqing was deeply moved. Compared to the strange and crazy comments, the words of Little Yuanxiao were heartwarming to the point of being excessive. After carefully replying to dozens of them, she decided to post on Weibo to collectively respond to everyone’s kindness.

It was impossible for her to reply to all of the numerous comments from Little Yuanxiao. Even after spending all day replying, it would not be enough. Moreover, just checking the comments, it seemed like her fans enjoyed her posting more on Weibo, so she decided to meet their expectations.

Chu Yuanqing spent a few minutes writing the response.

Hmm, to summarize, her life wasn’t as hard as everyone thought, nor as perfect as her fans imagined. The original reason she joined "Dazzling Stage" was for the salary, and she wanted to express her gratitude in the end.

As for the illustrations…

Chu Yuanqing flipped through her photo album. Due to a glitch in her phone’s history correction, there were some selfies saved, including one in a maid outfit when she took a mirror selfie while working. She hesitated for a moment and murmured to herself:

"My wedding dress has already been seen, and the maid outfit… doesn’t seem like a big deal, right?"

Hold on, something’s not right, this idea is really dangerous!

If she doesn’t care about the maid outfit now because of the wedding dress, she might end up not caring about swimsuits later, and eventually will slide into even scarier depths!

Chu Yuanqing’s heart skipped a beat, she quickly dismissed the idea of rewarding fans with maid outfit photos, and instead sat on the bed and took a few selfies with her phone.

Well, her photography skills were not great, and lacking the knowledge of editing, she posted the unedited pictures along with the captions.

Surprisingly, this disaster-level accident turned into something innocent and pure due to her exceptional looks, and the comment section below quickly filled up with empty praises.

Chu Yuanqing’s fan was so excited because she rarely posted on Weibo, but on that day she posted two non-advertisement Weibo posts, making her fans happy and wanting to fill the comments section.

"Just posting a picture directly? Hehehe, silly Honey Qing is also very cute."

"That Honey Qing… Can I stick with you? Oh? Not allowed? It’s okay (forced smile) It’s okay, I know I seem like a pervert, I’m sorry (tears rolling down cheeks) Goodbye (crying while pulling up pants) (hoping to be stopped but gets hit by a truck) (dreaming of sticking with Honey Qing while ascending to heaven) (dying happily)."

It didn’t take long for this Weibo post.

Chu Yuanqing could feel the lantern vibrating against her skin, making a louder noise. If she wasn’t wearing sporty-style revealing clothing, she would have felt embarrassed about the image in front of her chest.

But that’s not important.

What’s important is that posting on Weibo can engage fans effectively, generating positive emotions quickly and leading to more Magic Crystal than the past few days, showing great efficiency.

Also, unlike high-quality stage appearances, posting on Weibo is effortless. According to Xie Qingxuan, artist’s posts are usually formulaic, posting short keywords and matching photos every ten days or so keeps them active.

So, in the future when she can openly use her phone, she’ll need to find reasons to post every other day, or even daily!

…

…

On the other side, when Chu Yuanqing posted for the first time on Weibo for her fans,

Kirimi Miyuki finally managed to end the scary discussion about Imperial Ruthless Tiger, Donghong Amaterasu, and… the Cherry Blossom of Gods, avoiding the nickname she didn’t like. She changed the topic to ask if Kirimi Yuki had done her summer homework and talked about daily life with her parents.

During this time,

The girl also casually checked Weibo, looking at recent changes in fan activity, public opinion on "Dazzling Stage," which episode the show was on, if there were any strange fan fictions on the "Meet You in the Mist" fan page, and the latest news about Imperial Ruthless Tiger.

After a few glances, she felt Xie Qingxuan’s actions were a bit extreme.

It had been less than a week, why had Xie Qingxuan directly jumped from C1 to A1 level? Also, achieving a terrifying record of 14 battles in one day, all victories, and collapsing on stage afterwards, was it too much?

Kirimi Miyuki searched casually and quickly found all the buzz online due to the clear cause and effect of Xie Qingxuan’s actions, boosting discussions and creating a stir. The internet was filled with edited videos of Xie Qingxuan’s 14 consecutive battles on stage that day.

Especially on the island country, everyone admired strength a lot. Xie Qingxuan cleverly created a passionate storyline using idol showdowns, hitting all the right notes.

Because of this, the bloggers there focused on editing styles that emphasized the oppressive aura of the Demon King. It’s no wonder Little Yuki idolized them and constantly called them the fearsome Imperial Ruthless Tiger.

Darn it, the cherry blossoms with divine favor look pretty cool, right?!

Unknowingly, due to her younger sister, Little Sakura started feeling a strange sense of competition in her heart. She even momentarily felt that the nickname wasn’t embarrassing anymore, and felt a bit resentful that her sister didn’t call her by that nickname much.

Before she knew it, Kirimi Miyuki realized that the wedding dress ad she recently filmed had just been officially released on the website. Different from Chu Yuanqing, besides feeling embarrassed, Kirimi Miyuki’s attitude towards this was more about surprise and anticipation.

Little Sakura didn’t hesitate and quickly logged onto the official website show, clicked on the video ad, and began happily admiring her and Honey Qing’s wedding scene, a smile forming on her lips.

Even at the end, she still felt a bit reluctant to leave.

It felt like in those few minutes, she had gone through the whole process of walking down the aisle towards her wedding with Chu Yuanqing, both physically and spiritually very comfortable.

Kirimi Miyuki quietly downloaded and saved the video, gave the editor a perfect score, and also shared the ad video link on Weibo.

This simple action immediately attracted a large number of fans to come and comment, like sharks smelling blood. They flocked to this post on Weibo, causing a huge stir and sparking numerous comments:

"Haha, how come Miyuki sees things faster than me?"

"Little Sakura, I warn you not to love too much!"

"If they’re extremely angry, couldn’t Liuli take care of both of them together?"

Tang Liuli didn’t realize she was being harshly criticized. In the span of these ten minutes, she wrote a few thousand words about her feelings, then sang a part of "Encounter With the World" to her phone. She posted it on a Weibo account that had been inactive for many years, as a response after all these years.

After singing, stumbling a bit, she finally spoke candidly:

"Thank you all. I never expected that after disappearing for so long, the most comments I would see are not doubts or anger, but wishes for my happiness."

"Though I may not achieve that, I will start anew, but not as an actress. Instead, I will strive to be an idol."

After doing all this,

Tang Liuli felt a weight lift off her heart when Chu Yuanqing decided to stop ignoring her. She had been feeling lost, not knowing how to deal with her feelings.

At first, the girl chose to avoid things, but after a first kiss at the coffee shop, she had to think about important questions, which led to an outburst during her performance of "Encounter With the World."

It was after singing that song that she believed she could listen to her inner voice, bravely saying goodbye to the past.

Now, Tang Liuli finally accomplished it.

Even just posting on Weibo, she felt her inner burdens disappear, her soul clear and shining. The "Cocoon of the Heart" she was in sparkled, and the moon feather on her chest glowed brighter.

The green-eyed cat felt extremely happy, suddenly confident, like a mature woman not held back by the past, with bright green eyes and a smile on her lips.

Hmph, from now on, Honey Qing would surely see her in a new light and not treat her like a child anymore!

Well, nowadays, being able to surf the internet, isn’t it to dig into information about Honey Qing through online friends and learn more about Honey Qing’s shining moments?

Tang Liuli realized this belatedly, her lovely face filled with anticipation. She quickly clicked on Chu Yuanqing’s Weibo, scrolling to the bottom.

How come Honey Qing’s Weibo has so few posts?

Before the green-eyed cat could continue thinking, the wedding photo at the bottom of the tic-tac-toe grid made her brain freeze, unable to think.
