The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 857: Chapter 836: Interstellar Superstar 6

The Cuis count as a middle-class family on Imperial Star.

Although Cui Anlin was a member of the collateral branch, he received considerable attention from the direct family members because of his outstanding spiritual power.

Ever since he was assessed as having S-level spiritual power, he was nurtured by the direct family and grew up smoothly without facing much adversity.

This also fostered somewhat of a self-confident personality in him.

Some time ago, Cui Anlin met a sweet-looking girl who was different from other girls. Her thoughts were unique, and she would say things others couldn’t imagine, as well as make a lot of delicious food, which greatly surprised Cui Anlin.

During subsequent interactions, Cui Anlin developed feelings for this girl named Fang Xiaolian.

He knew that Fang Xiaolian came from a poor family and lived in distress, so he helped her pay her tuition and often lent her money.

Later, Fang Xiaolian expressed her desire to earn money to repay him and wanted to develop in the entertainment industry. Cui Anlin then used his connections to find a good opportunity for Fang Xiaolian, allowing her to play the very popular role of the second female lead in a TV series.

This TV series also propelled Fang Xiaolian to stardom.

As a result, Fang Xiaolian met many outstanding men.

Although Cui Anlin was quite jealous, Fang Xiaolian said it was all work, and claimed that she was only friends with those people, leaving Cui Anlin to bear it.

After all, Fang Xiaolian never confirmed a relationship with him and treated him just like a friend.

Cui Anlin liked Fang Xiaolian, but Fang Xiaolian did not share those feelings.

She was focused solely on her career, and since Fang Xiaolian was still young, Cui Anlin didn’t want to force her. He could only help her little by little, hoping that over time, he would eventually win her over.

This time, Fang Xiaolian entered the reality show not seeking help from Cui Anlin, but rather from a young master from another family in the Imperial City who helped her get in.

Cui Anlin was somewhat upset, but still kept a close eye on Fang Xiaolian.

After the reality show started, Cui Anlin constantly kept the livestream open to watch Fang Xiaolian’s every move.

He was continuously fascinated watching Fang Xiaolian, and when Fang Xiaolian encountered Anning, Cui Anlin couldn’t help but frown.

He felt that Anning seemed to have ill intentions towards Fang Xiaolian, appearing to target her in every way.

Furthermore, when Ning Kexin pushed Fang Xiaolian in the bathroom, Anning did not speak up for Fang Xiaolian, allowing her to be bullied.

This made Cui Anlin quite angry.

However, Anning was his sister after all, so there was no way Cui Anlin could do anything to Anning.

Instead, he hired naval forces to troll Ning Kexin.

They not only flooded the chatroom with negative comments about Ning Kexin but also went to Ning Kexin’s Weibo and official site to insult her, releasing a lot of damaging information about her online.

The main point was that Cui Anlin had them smear her reputation, saying Ning Kexin was fake, claiming she appeared so pure on screen but was secretly a kept woman, among other extremely offensive remarks.

Cui Anlin didn’t smear Anning, but the other young masters Fang Xiaolian was involved with found Anning unpleasant and began digging up dirt on her, blackening Anning’s name across various online platforms.

Anning’s background was decent, although she worked in the entertainment industry, no one dared to mess with her. It could be said that she didn’t have much dirt to expose.

However, those who disliked her tried their best to expose her duplicity.

To tarnish her, they unscrupulously created a lot of short videos showing Anning crying with tears streaming down her face.

Some were of Anning crying over trivial matters in school as if she’d lost a loved one.

Others showed Anning talking, then suddenly crying, leading people to mistakenly believe that someone was bullying Anning.

Some were from Anning crying on set while filming, in short, all kinds of videos of her crying, plus footage from the livestream of Anning crying in front of Fang Xiaolian and the guards.

These videos were uploaded online, and naval forces spammed the screen.

”Intellectual beauty’s image collapses; turns out to be a true white lotus.”

”Anning is such a schemer, using all kinds of tactics. The actress Yue Miao’er quit the industry after being trolled by her.”

”Anning once participated in a business performance; the weather was slightly cold outside, others managed fine, but she cried as if she was about to faint from exhaustion, so fragile.”

”What’s going on with Anning? Is she specifically targeting my Xiao Lian? Ning Kexin’s actions against my Xiao Lian must be her doing.”

”I have a friend, her boyfriend of many years was stolen by Anning, this little ’tramp bomb’.”

”Who would’ve thought she’s like this, can’t afford to love anymore.”

”Scared, scared, after all, there’s no one in the entertainment industry who’s consistent inside and out...”

Anyway, there were all sorts of opinions, all sorts of insults.

For a while, Anning and Ning Kexin were both blacklisted and made the headlines.

Fang Xiaolian’s fans were also online, hurling all kinds of insults, as offensive as possible.

Wang Hui, seeing the online wars of words, hurriedly asked the company’s PR team to manage the comments.

However, with those young masters exerting efforts behind the scenes, the negative comments couldn’t be cleaned up, and instead, were escalating.

Wang Hui was deeply troubled, pushing the PR team to manage the comments, trying to hire naval forces to salvage Anning’s reputation, ending up not sleeping well all night, with his eyes turning red from exhaustion.

Anning was completely unaware of all this.

She was confined in a cage, surrounded by darkness again.

Anning knocked on the walls of the cage a few times, then sat cross-legged and began to continue her cultivation.

In another train carriage, there were also several cages.

Ming Ye and Yu Huayuan each had a cage.

The two of them sat in the dark cages, feeling anxious, with a desire to cause destruction and kill.

After a while, the two of them counted the time, feeling it should be noon, the time for lunch.

But outside, there was no movement at all.

The two hadn’t eaten anything in the morning, now feeling so hungry their chests were sticking to their backs, compounded by this confined environment, making them even more frantic.

The two tried to endure, but after a while, still, no one came to open the cage to call them for lunch.

They couldn’t hold back anymore.

Ming Ye stood up and kicked the cage vigorously: ”Open the door, open the door now.”

Yu Huayuan was also hungry and couldn’t endure, reaching out to hit the cage door: ”Open the door, I want to go out, I need to eat, hurry and open the door.”

Anning, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened her eyes, pinching her right hand several times, her lips curling into a smile.

Just as the smile appeared on her lips, footsteps scurried from outside.

Anning whispered to herself: ”Five, four, three, two, one...”

As she said the word ”one,” the door of her cage was yanked open from the outside.

Anning looked at the zombie standing outside with red eyes and a pallid complexion, smiling as she stood up.

In the livestream room, fans saw this scene and were so scared they held their breath, not daring to speak.

”No way, is my Ning about to be finished?”

”The reality show has just started, is my Ning going to say goodbye already?”

”Feeling a bit reluctant, what to do?”

”Heavens, my Ning is going to perish by a zombie’s bite. Such a tragic death, a moment of silence.”

Even trolls were sneering: ”Why isn’t Anning crying now? Why smile at this moment? Wasn’t she great at crying when framing others?”

”Serves you right, white lotus go die, I’ve long disliked her.”

”Go die, go die, zombie hurry and bite her to death.”

The zombie roared and charged towards Anning.

Anning dodged with agility, swiftly moving out of the cage.

The zombie turned around, extending both hands, with ten long, black nails reaching towards Anning’s face.

Anning smiled, but tears in her eyes flowed uncontrollably. She lifted her leg, kicking the zombie in the chest, directly kicking it back into the cage.
