After Having Everything Taken Away, She Returns As A God

Chapter 916: Demolished, Completely Finished (1)

Netizens were puzzled.

The Nine Realms Award nomination list was released by the media from the official website at eight o’clock, but Si Fuqing had remained silent until noon.

The media had been camping out at the hotel where Si Fuqing was staying, hoping to get the scoop firsthand.

Unfortunately, she lived up to her reputation of transparent nature after work; they had been waiting for hours without any sight of her.

Si Fuqing was always direct and personally dealt with matters.

Daring to announce her withdrawal from the Golden Flower Awards selection process, the media had seen her bold style.

They were eagerly anticipating what kind of retaliation she would have after being nominated for the Nine Realms Award.

Upon seeing her Weibo post, the media realized they had underestimated Si Fuqing’s temperament.

It was indeed a thank you note, but it also stripped the Golden Flower Awards panel of judges and Tong Luoyun of their dignity.

[Your sarcastic comments are top-notch, Si Fuqing. Truly impressive.]

[LOL, this is hilarious. I can’t wait to see the expressions on the Golden Flower Awards panel of judges and Tong Luoyun!]

[Exactly! If it weren’t for them criticizing her as a show-off actress making morally questionable dramas, she wouldn’t have directly withdrew from all future Golden Flower Awards.]

[Still claiming there’s no corruption? Didn’t they make a solemn statement? Didn’t they say we were slandering the Golden Flower Award’s fairness? Sue us! If you don’t, I’ll look down on you!]

In just over a year, Si Fuqing was no longer the universally criticized girl group member. Her fan base was growing stronger.

Fans of Si Fuqing, known for their fervor, made sure no negative comments survived.

Perhaps when the viewership ratings for “Crossing the Demon Realm” came out, Si Fuqing wasn’t yet recognized in the drama industry, and other netizens still saw her as a mere celebrity created through popularity.

But now, with a Nine Realms Award nomination in hand, she was on par with veteran actresses like Dou Yiyue.

Such an honor was something even established actresses couldn’t easily achieve.

Tong Luoyun’s numerous dramas and her grand slam best actress record paled in comparison to a Nine Realms Award nomination.

[Tong Luoyun, stop playing dead. I can see your face turning green. What good does suppressing the juniors do for you? You tried to suppress her, but Si Fuqing is the strongest!]

[Who is ambitious? Anyway, a certain actress who doesn’t even go online or post selfies is too lazy to cozy up to the judges.]

Given the huge uproar, it was impossible for Tong Luoyun not to notice.

She had been playing dead, only daring to use a small account to check the online public opinion.

Seeing Si Fuqing’s Weibo post, she nearly choked in anger, her face contorting: “Is she trying to provoke me? What is she boasting about?!”

Despite her words, Tong Luoyun clearly understood how prestigious a Nine Realm Award was.

She was one of the few grand slam best actresses for TV in the Great Xia, but she had never even come close to a Nine Realms Award.

In some ways, the four major international entertainment awards, the Glenn Awards and the Hera Awards, were easier to win than the Nine Realms Awards.

At least in the last century, the Great Xia Empire had produced seven Glenn Awards nominees.

Not to mention, in recent years, Lu Ningsheng and Su Yang had also won in the Hera Awards.

Taking a deep breath, Tong Luoyun couldn’t hold back her anger and threw her phone on the ground. She was furious, “It’s a xianxia drama! How could it get a nomination?!”

Although she had transitioned to the film industry and had been striving to make a name for herself internationally, she had once dominated the TV drama industry.

In less than ten years, she was now being overshadowed by a newcomer actress.

Outdone in ratings, outdone in awards—this was a continuous slap to her face, and she couldn’t swallow this insult.

“But she did get it,” her agent said, falling silent. “The Nine Realms Awards are too prestigious. Even some of your fans believe your recent award was undeserved.”

The online backlash was uncontrollable.

Tong Luoyun panicked for the first time, “W-what should I do?”

“Just stay silent,” her agent said helplessly. “Luoyun, perhaps from the beginning, we shouldn’t have competed with Si Fuqing. It was unnecessary.”

Tong Luoyun was nearly twenty years older than Si Fuqing. Unlike the young stars Meng Xue, Song Wenhua, and Bie Yunxi, there was no real competition for resources between them.

There should have been no conflict to this extent.

Tong Luoyun had to admit that part of her targeting Si Fuqing was because of Sang Yanqing.
