Chapter 23
Fake fan?
Yao Bianliang's fingers paused as she was about to type, her brows furrowing.
When had she become her own fake fan?
She scrolled up through the chat history, reviewing her previous comments.
Well, she had to admit these did sound like something a fake fan would say.
W̌ eb̆n о̃ v е l Ё nü m а
The situation seemed somewhat precarious.
Yao Bianliang had a vague sense of foreboding, though she couldn't quite identify what exactly concerned her.

[Today I Also Want Liangliang: Everyone, don't misunderstand, I really am Liangliang's fan! I've been following her since her debut, making me one of her oldest supporters. I believe no one in this world understands her better than I do.]
This wasn't a lie.
The original host had followed her official account with her alternate account when she first debuted.
In a sense, she truly was her own longtime fan.

As for who understood her better, naturally it would be herself.
However, she quickly received pushback from her fans.
[XiaoHe8331: Impossible, you don't understand her at all.]
Mr. XiaoHe appeared in the group chat with his golden wealthy-supporter tag, a string of elaborate special effects flashed by, and the chat interface briefly went quiet for half a second due to his arrival.

Yao Bianliang's head slowly produced a question mark.
[XiaoHe8331: She loves her profession and treats every acting role seriously; she's friendly to her teammates even when they aren't particularly kind to her; she gets up early every day, always works diligently, and remains full of hope for the future.]
W еb ñо̀v e l̆ Е nŭḿ а
[XiaoHe8331: What you said isn't wrong, but in reality, how many people in the entertainment industry truly live up to these standards? You have no idea how incredibly difficult it is to stay true to oneself in such a world of fame and fortune.]
[XiaoHe8331: She is not ordinary; on the contrary, she's excellent and ambitious. As an actress, her performance in all aspects can be described as perfect.]
[XiaoHe8331: Since you don't understand her, don't evaluate her carelessly, and certainly don't belittle her this way.]
Yao Bianliang: "......"
Sister, your filter is set a bit too strong.
This was praising her to the heavens.

Yao Bianliang typed a few words, wanting to say something, but ultimately deleted them.
She wanted to tell them that she was just a mundane person who loved money and preferred taking it easy. But she couldn't reveal the system's existence, and even if she told them everything, no one would believe her.
This was fundamentally an unsolvable problem.
After some thought, Yao Bianliang decided to let facts speak for themselves.
[Today I Also Want Liangliang: I've met Yao Bianliang before, and she's definitely not the person you describe.]
[XiaoHe8331: Heh, I've also met Yao Bianliang, and she's exactly that kind of person.]
Е̊n um а
Yao Bianliang fell silent.
Who exactly was this wealthy supporter, who claimed to have met her?

But the response came too quickly for her to determine whether this person was just arguing with her or actually telling the truth.
However, the wealthy fan didn't give her much time to react and continued sending messages.
[XiaoHe8331: You're one of those so-called skin-wearing haters, aren't you @Today I Also Want Liangliang]
"Skin-wearing haters" referred to anti-fans who pretended to be fans of a celebrity while actually spreading negativity about them.
Ё n um ӑ_
They used usernames like "XX Fan" and then posted bizarre comments on various social platforms and group chats to provoke negative reactions from netizens, thereby achieving their goal of generating hate toward the celebrity.
With the wealthy fan's statement, coupled with Yao Bianliang's previous series of comments, the fans in the group finally understood completely.
[Yuan Yuan: Sisters, I just checked, this person registered their account today! Definitely suspicious.]
[Little Bee: Absolutely a skin-wearing hater. From the moment they joined the group, they've maintained a facade of speaking fairly while actually badmouthing Liangliang.]

[E: What's your purpose in deliberately infiltrating our fan group to smear Liangliang?]
[Black Emperor: We're fundraising votes for Liangliang, and not only doesn't she help, but she keeps discouraging us. Isn't that just hoping Liangliang gets eliminated?]
Е̊ñ u ḿа̄.і̄_d̊
[Listening Secretly: So calculated—why can't these haters stand to see Liangliang succeed?]
In that moment, the fans in the group reached a consensus. They had a clear assessment of Yao Bianliang—
A hater, definitely a hater!
Yao Bianliang's hand trembled, nearly dropping her phone.
Just moments ago she was merely a fake fan. After just a few exchanges, she had been directly labeled as a hater.
[Today I Also Want Liangliang: Sisters, you've really misunderstood]

Yao Bianliang tried to struggle a bit more, but one person couldn't fight against many. Since her typing speed couldn't keep up, the chat messages had already begun to flood the screen.
[007: So group owner, how did this person get in here?]
[Zero Distance: What are the group owner and admins waiting for? Kick this person out!]
[Feng Bin: These haters nowadays are disgusting.]
[Huahua: Don't just kick them from the group, remember to block them and add them to the blacklist! They should never be allowed in Liangliang's fan groups again.]
The fan group was in an uproar, with everyone harboring deep resentment toward the person called "Today I Also Want Liangliang."
Е̄_ǹ um̃ а
Yao Bianliang felt a blur before her eyes, and then a pop-up window appeared in the center of her screen.
[You have been removed from Yao Bianliang's fan group by Xiaoyu not eating fish]

[You have been blocked by Xiaoyu not eating fish]
Yao Bianliang: "......"
Well, not only had she been labeled a hater by her own fans, but she'd also been kicked from the group chat and successfully added to their blacklist.
Her situation was probably unique in the entire entertainment industry.
Е̊ n̈_ũ ṁ a
"Never mind, although I've been kicked out by the fans, at least I've achieved my goal."
Yao Bianliang steadied herself.
After her earlier probing, it was clear that the group owner "Xiaoyu not eating fish" was the initiator and organizer of the fundraising activities.
She had considerable influence among the fans. If Yao Bianliang could contact her, she should be able to convey her message to those fans through her.

Since her alternate account had been blocked, it was time for her main account to step in.
Yao Bianliang switched back to her main account and sent a private message to Xiaoyu not eating fish.
È ñüṁ ã
Meanwhile, group owner Xiaoyu lay on her bed, looking at the fan group chat interface with some irritation.
As a college student, Xiaoyu had been involved in fan circles for several years.
During these years, she had supported many celebrities and switched allegiances numerous times.
However, perhaps due to some bad luck in recent years, several celebrities she had supported had fallen from grace.
At this point, Xiaoyu discovered Yao Bianliang on the variety show.
Yao Bianliang was different from everyone else in the entertainment industry's large dye vat, standing out uniquely. Especially after watching Cheng Liuhui's interview video, Xiaoyu reignited her enthusiasm for celebrity worship.

Now, she focused on supporting Yao Bianliang and hadn't paid attention to her previous favorites for quite some time.
"So annoying," she muttered to herself. "These haters nowadays have absolutely no bottom line. They sneak into our fan groups to cause trouble right when we're organizing fundraising activities."
As she thought this, she furiously jabbed at the hater's profile picture with her finger, as if this could somehow vent her anger.
"Ding dong"
Her phone suddenly vibrated, and a red dot appeared in the private message column.
Xiaoyu was slightly startled, then narrowed her eyes.
E n úṁǎ
Could that detestable hater be making a comeback at this hour, registering a new alternate account to contact her?
Having been in fan circles for many years, Xiaoyu was very experienced in confrontations.

She immediately rolled up her sleeves, ready to start a verbal battle.
However, when she opened the private message column, the expected message from an alternate account didn't appear.
The sender had a glittering official verification badge, sitting quietly in the message bar.
Wait, this was...
Е̌ ñům̈ а́ . і̌ d́
Xiaoyu could hardly believe it; she closed her eyes and then opened them again.
The glittering official verification badge was still there.
—It was Liangliang! How could it be Liangliang?
Xiaoyu's heart began to race violently, and the gloom caused by that hater completely vanished. For a moment, she felt like she was dreaming.

How could Liangliang actively seek her out?
Having her idol reach out to her directly was something that only happened in Xiaoyu's dreams. Now that her dream had suddenly become reality, her brain nearly crashed.
Е n̄ǔm ä
Should she... should she go wash her hands or light some incense first?
Xiaoyu's thoughts were chaotic, but her body had already acted before her brain, clicking on the message.
Yao Bianliang: "Hello Xiaoyu, this is Yao Bianliang. I heard you've been fundraising and voting for me. Is that true?"
Xiaoyu swallowed and tried to calm herself.
Not a mass message—it really was Liangliang!
A real person, speaking, typing, and even warmly calling her Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu hugged her blanket and rolled around on her bed several times, messing up her hair. After a couple of seconds, she sat up straight and began typing an affirmative reply to Yao Bianliang.
She checked her text twice, confirming there were no issues before hitting send.
Yao Bianliang quickly responded: "Are you organizing this?"
Xiaoyu: "I'm organizing it with several friends. We didn't know how else to help you, so this was all we could think of."
Yao Bianliang: "Good, could you create a group chat? I'd like to discuss something with everyone."
Xiaoyu blinked.
Е̂n_ûm̈ ã .і̇ḋ
From what Liangliang was saying, it sounded like she wanted to give them instructions about the fundraising activities. Perhaps she would even let them become fan community administrators, taking a leading role.
Just thinking about this possibility made Xiaoyu's heart beat faster.

She swiftly replied with a "yes" and immediately began adding people.
Actually, there weren't many organizers for this fundraising activity—about ten people at most.
Yao Bianliang glanced at the group members and, as expected, they were all the active fans from the fan group.
After everyone had joined, she quickly assessed the situation and finally felt somewhat relieved.
Ŵ е b n о̆ v̊.еl Еn u.m̈а
Since the fundraising had just begun, not much money had been collected yet, and every contribution was registered.
It wouldn't be difficult to stop the losses in time and return the money.
However, the fans in the group were all very excited and eager to express their support.
"Liangliang, did you gather us here to organize more fundraising activities?"

"Don't worry, Liangliang! We'll help you climb the rankings even if we have to eat dirt."
"Yes, we absolutely won't let Liangliang be eliminated."
Е n û m̂_а ..і̄d
Yao Bianliang looked at everyone's messages with considerable helplessness.
After some thought, she said: "Thank you all for your love. However, there's no need to spend money on voting."
"Moreover, I hope you'll return the fundraised money, sending it back to those fans."
The message conveyed information that clearly surprised everyone.
They all froze, and the chat interface went quiet for two seconds.
Xiaoyu: "Liangliang, I know you're worried about our money. But if we don't fundraise, your vote count will fall far behind."

Yao Bianliang sighed: "Fundraising and voluntary voting are two different things. Fans recruiting each other, promoting to each other, demanding money in the name of love, even implementing moral blackmail and brainwashing... many fans just believe what others say and impulsively spend money on voting."
"Organizing fundraising activities is essentially using various methods to extract money from fans' pockets. This approach easily leads people to invest more money than they budgeted for, which shouldn't happen in the first place."
"I'm very grateful for your support. But you're all young people, and earning money isn't easy. Save some money to buy yourselves good food, some nice clothes, or gifts for your parents—isn't that better?"
"Why spend so much time and money on me?"
Xiaoyu couldn't help but say: "But we want to support Liangliang! If we don't work hard, other contestants' votes will far exceed Liangliang's..."
Other fans also expressed their agreement.
Ѐn̄ ûṁa. і̇d̆
Yao Bianliang felt exasperated: "Defeating other contestants should be my concern, not something you should strive for by spending money."
"Fundraising itself is wrong. If I used such methods, even if I successfully advanced to the next round, what would be the point?"

"You are all my fans. Perhaps I will ultimately fail to advance because of insufficient votes and leave the entertainment industry. But regardless of the outcome, I absolutely will not use those tactics to take your money!"
At this point, Yao Bianliang paused, then added: "Of course, bad practices like controlling comments, countering negativity, and fabricating data can all be thrown away too. Being my fan doesn't need to be so exhausting."
"This..."
The fans were all stunned, followed by deep confusion.
Ĕ.n ǔm̆ ā.іd̂
Before joining the group, they had fully expected Yao Bianliang would organize several fundraising interactions, and they were prepared to work hard.
However, after joining the group, they discovered that not only was Yao Bianliang not assigning them new tasks, but she was also canceling all the original fundraising activities.
Xiaoyu was also completely bewildered; Yao Bianliang's words entirely exceeded her existing understanding.
She remained silent for a long time before finally cautiously asking: "If we don't spend money, don't control comments, counter negativity, or fabricate data... what should we do?"

Did that mean they didn't need to do anything?
Yao Bianliang thought for a moment before finally saying: "What you need to do is actually quite simple."
Ẇ ě b n o v̀ е̊l Е n̂ umа_
Oh, so there were new tasks!
The fans immediately perked up, listening attentively.
Yao Bianliang said: "As long as I remain in the entertainment industry, I will seriously perform in every production. And what you need to do is watch the dramas I act in and find joy in them—that's enough."
Everyone: "......"
Do nothing, just enjoy the benefits—this was their "task" as fans?
Was there something wrong with this development?
