Placing an ad within an apology statement… and an ad for a Taobao food store at that! What happened to debuting? What happened to being a signed trainee? Why was she so down-to-earth?
And—was Bai Baozhu really a voluntary participant in the dating reality show Love Cottage? Why did they get the feeling that Bai Baozhu herself seemed a bit eager to quit the show?
Just as everyone was left dazed by Bai Baozhu’s simple, blunt apology, they never expected there to be a bonus clip at the end of Bai Baozhu’s apology video!
After Bai Baozhu finished her apology statement, text appeared on the video: “Don’t leave, there’s a bonus clip after this.” Immediately following, the video showed a segment of Bai Baozhu communicating with the staff member before recording her apology.
Watching this clip, everyone became even more convinced—
Bai Baozhu genuinely wanted to quit the show, go home, be a chef, and open a Taobao store!
Instantly, the netizens erupted.
They had never seen a great beauty who wanted to be a chef instead of a star! The netizens who had been swayed by the narrative and wanted to vote Bai Baozhu out of Love Cottage now felt a contrarian impulse!
You want to quit the show, go home, be a chef, and open a store? Well, we just won’t vote you out~
After fermenting overnight, Bai Baozhu’s name dominated screens across the entire internet! Everyone was discussing her.
The hot search rankings were thoroughly occupied by Bai Baozhu, Song Zhi, and Love Cottage.
After a night of fermentation, although the option to have Bai Baozhu leave the show received the most votes in the real-name voting poll released by the ‘Love Cottage’ production team to decide her fate…
The total number of voters was exceptionally small.
All the netizens were waiting for the broadcast of ‘Love Cottage’ Episode Eleven, and also waiting for the game behind-the-scenes footage to be fully released online after the episode aired.
‘Let’s eat melons and vote rationally. Although Bai Baozhu’s apology statement is a bit suspicious of being self-promotion, we should still be more rational and not be led by Bai Baozhu’s rhythm. We should watch the whole show first. [Dog Head]’
‘Looking at the reactions from ‘Love Cottage’, Bai Baozhu, and Song Zhi, it can basically be judged that this time someone wanted to smear Bai Baozhu and Song Zhi. When ‘Love Cottage’ releases the game BTS footage tomorrow, we should get the results!’
‘In a sense, Bai Baozhu is just an ordinary person. She wants to debut, but she hasn’t yet. Why can’t she date?’
‘I won’t say anything else. Looking forward to tomorrow night’s ‘Love Cottage’ and the game BTS!’
……
Amidst everyone’s anticipation, the night passed, and Saturday arrived.
The netizens stubbornly spent their time on various analysis posts and various edited videos of Song Zhi and Bai Baozhu gaming!
They stubbornly endured from day until night.
When eight o’clock in the evening arrived, cheers erupted across the entire internet.
This episode of ‘Love Cottage’ set a new ratings record!
Because everyone had been informed that it was in this episode that Song Zhi discovered Bai Baozhu was Little Fairy.
Therefore, countless netizens, harboring thoughts of watching the drama and witnessing the truth, tuned in to watch this program!
That group of netizens who had never watched ‘Love Cottage’ because they weren’t interested in dating shows were also attracted by yesterday’s big drama!
So this episode of ‘Love Cottage’ not only broke its own ratings record but also refreshed the historical ratings record for all TV programs!
Accompanied by the program’s music and the host’s introduction, ‘Love Cottage’ Episode Eleven quickly officially began!
At the very start, the program aired a segment of Bai Baozhu making a large table of Yangzhou morning tea delicacies in the morning, making everyone so greedy that they almost forgot their ultimate purpose. They all followed the celebrity observers on the show in drooling.
After anxiously watching Xia Tiantian and Lin Dong’s sun date, everyone finally waited for… the moment Bai Baozhu revealed her identity in front of Song Zhi!
When they saw Lin Dong, the professional esports player, suggest playing a game, they then saw Bai Baozhu, a complete gaming novice in the video, create her first ‘Glory of Kings’ account and name it—Little Fairy.
And at that moment, Song Zhi, who was watching the recording of ‘Love Cottage’, had a visibly dumbfounded look on his face!
He was even so shocked that the pen in his hand dropped!
‘Pfft hahaha—! I think there’s no need to release any more game videos! Just looking at Song Zhi’s reaction is 100% confirmation that this was all a coincidence!’
‘Those who used Bai Baozhu and Song Zhi gaming together as a black mark to smear them, claiming it was a show, must be people who have never played games, right? So silly!’
‘This is the first time I’ve seen Brother Zhi with this kind of expression. It’s too funny! So shocked he couldn’t even hold his pen steady 2333’
‘Don’t you guys think Bai Baozhu and Song Zhi are really fated? There are so many players in the game, but these two just happened to match together!’
‘I beg the production team to hurry up and release the game BTS! I want to see if Bai Baozhu is really as amazing as in the game livestream!’
……
Amidst the anticipation of all the netizen viewers, when ‘Love Cottage’ Episode Eleven finished airing, that very night, the video website simultaneously released the online video of ‘Love Cottage’ Episode Eleven, and—the Game BTS Version.
That night, not only did the online view count for ‘Love Cottage’ break a new record, but the sales of the video website’s VIP memberships also set a new record! Countless people rushed to purchase VIP memberships to watch Bai Baozhu’s Game BTS Version video at the first opportunity!
After watching the game BTS footage that the production team worked overtime to produce, everyone was amazed by Bai Baozhu’s gaming talent!
The game BTS indeed wasn’t edited. The production team followed Bai Baozhu’s gaming timeline, starting with her doing strategy training for various beautiful female heroes in the beginner training camp.
Then she progressed step by step, from a gaming novice to a gaming expert.
Later, just after leaving the beginner training camp and choosing a match, she coincidentally ran into Song Zhi…
The video could very clearly show that Bai Baozhu and Song Zhi had no suspicion of putting on a show. Everything was just a coincidence.
Of course, rational netizens who had played games knew this even without watching the video.
What shocked them even more was watching Bai Baozhu’s detailed game BTS, seeing from her perspective her incredible maneuvers, those beautiful, slender fingers moving so fast they practically left afterimages!
It truly left everyone dumbfounded. At this point, they were also absolutely certain! Bai Baozhu was Little Fairy, and Little Fairy was truly strong!
When all this was released and the ‘truth came to light’, everyone, thinking back to Bai Baozhu’s apology statement from yesterday, unanimously decided—
‘Bai Baozhu is so ‘despicable’! We must not let her off! Let her stay in ‘Love Cottage’ and date properly! [Dog Head]’
‘You cast one vote, I cast one vote. We must keep Little Fairy to keep making delicious food for us and playing games!’
‘Charge ahead, brothers and sisters! Vote hard! If Bai Baozhu really leaves ‘Love Cottage’, you won’t be able to see her on TV anymore! Because this useless little fairy, after discovering her culinary talent, wants to change careers and become a chef! [Dog Head]’
……
This incident of Bai Baozhu being smeared was resolved surprisingly quickly, and it had no impact on Bai Baozhu. Instead, it successfully helped her gain a wave of fans again, boosting her presence and popularity among the general public significantly.
Just as everyone was actively voting for Bai Baozhu, a certain analysis discussion post suddenly attracted countless people’s attention!
That was—
‘Let’s Gossip About That Little Fairy Who Wants to Be a Green Tea~’
After seeing this post, whether they were netizens who had watched the game livestream or not, they were all shocked by the OP’s analysis!
Everyone’s minds also suddenly cleared!
It was as if they had their meridians cleared! They instantly understood why Bai Baozhu’s persona in the first seven episodes was so different from her persona in the later episodes!
It turns out that this girl’s taste was just too bizarre. She actually thought Green Tea girls were cute! She even wanted to learn how to become one?
‘I originally thought Bai Baozhu’s persona in the first seven episodes was arranged by her agency, but her performance was a total flop. I never expected… she actually genuinely wanted to be a Green Tea?! This shocks my entire family!’
‘Saw the video screenshots, laughed my head off! Begging Little Fairy to debut! She’s way too damn cute! I want to see more of Little Fairy on TV!’
‘How can there be such a fresh and cute as… mudslide of a girl in this world! Love it! Begging Bai Baozhu to debut in the C-position!’
‘Ah! Fairy Sister, walk the flower road and debut! Your Green Tea little sister will always follow~’
……
Just as the internet was ablaze and buzzing because of Bai Baozhu.
At midnight, Song Zhi and the official Weibo of ‘Love Cottage’ once again issued a statement!
And this time, the statement made the netizens, who were already unable to sleep due to the gossip, even more unable to sleep!
Because, this time, the statement directly exposed the mastermind who had smeared Bai Baozhu and Song Zhi!
In just two short days, they were caught! This efficiency absolutely stunned all the melon-eating masses.
However, the mastermind who was exposed didn’t really stun all the melon-eating masses.
After all, everyone thought about it. The person who clearly had a grudge against Bai Baozhu and Song Zhi seemed to be only Xu Bingying.
So when they saw the statement issued jointly by Song Zhi and ‘Love Cottage’ against Xu Bingying, all the netizens really weren’t surprised at all.
But while the netizens weren’t surprised, Xu Bingying, the mastermind behind the scenes, was very surprised.
She hadn’t expected that even after being so careful! She could still be dragged out! And in less than two short days!
Looking at the cease and desist letter sent to her by Song Zhi’s agency, and looking at the termination notice and compensation issued by ‘Love Cottage’, Xu Bingying’s vision went dark.
She hadn’t expected that this time, not only had she failed to smear Bai Baozhu and Song Zhi again, but she had also completely gotten herself entangled!
This time, she was completely finished.
