Chapter 141: Don’t Worry, This Role Isn’t Getting Away

Jiang Sui said calmly, “Bai Xixue.”

As he spoke, Jiang Sui opened Weibo.

Shi Heng commented, “With all the mess the Ji family is in, does she really have the time to fight you for a role? Besides, from what I know, the investors this time aren’t the Ji family at all. Could it be that they’re interfering again?”

Though Shi Heng was used to such things by now, this still left him feeling quite frustrated.

Jiang Sui glanced at the online platform.

On the surface, there was little activity, but clicking on Director Lin’s Weibo revealed many of Bai Xixue’s fans had flooded the comments.

“Director Lin, if Chen Wanwan isn’t played by our Xixue, I’ll make sure no one around me watches this drama. Our Xixue has worked so hard to get this role—please don’t disappoint us!”

“Director Lin, our dear Xixue doesn’t care about the size of the role; she’s willing to be a supporting character just to show fans she’s active. She’s not career-driven, so please don’t let her off the hook! Make her act properly!”

“Waiting eagerly for the official announcement! Bai Xixue’s beautiful photos.jpg”

...

However, these comments were soon pushed down by other, more liked remarks.

“I heard the director decided on Jiang Sui. What, did they change their mind?”

“Hahaha, Bai Xixue’s fans are shameless, it’s like a habit now. The director hasn’t even made an official announcement, and you’re already shamelessly begging for the role. I’m a fan of the original novel ‘Palace Farewell,’ and Bai Xixue simply isn’t suitable for Chen Wanwan. Instead of wasting time here, why not pay attention to your husband’s company?”

“Ahhh, Jiang Sui! Is it really Jiang Sui? I heard from industry insiders that Jiang Sui’s acting on set was absolutely stunning and left everyone speechless! I want to see for myself!”

“Whether it’s Jiang Sui or not, I know Bai Xixue has a habit of snatching roles. Didn’t she steal Xu Manman’s previous roles? As if no one knows. Fans, please stop pretending she’s not career-driven or ‘just chilling’—it’s hilarious. Why not praise her for being even lazier? That would fit your narrative better.”

“Hahaha, the comment above cracked me up. I also know about the roles Bai Xixue stole from Xu Manman—they were rotten. When the public opinion was overwhelmingly one-sided, I didn’t dare speak up. Thankfully, the truth came out recently, exposing everything. And now her fans still want to whitewash the truth—do they dare admit it?”

“Director Lin wouldn’t seriously give the role to Bai Xixue, would he? If that happens, I’m blacklisting him. I’d rather see Jiang Sui as a mere figurehead than watch someone who constantly slacks off snatch roles from others.”

...

Soon, Bai Xixue’s fans responded beneath these comments.

—Who told you our Xixue is slacking off as a persona? If she really cared about her career, wouldn’t she have become a top star already with her husband’s backing?

—Sounds like Jiang Sui is all clean and pure? A college dropout with a ‘top student’ persona, plus mystical vibes—‘if it rains, it rains,’ and a ‘lover’ persona... ugh! No one in the entertainment industry is better at crafting personas than she is.

...

Under a director’s Weibo post, a minor female role had sparked disputes among several factions.

Jiang Sui raised an eyebrow. From the start, some members of Bai Xixue’s fanbase were clearly planted by her team, meaning all their actions were orchestrated.

Of course, her rapid rise and ability to win fans, combined with her persona of being close to and fiercely protective of her supporters, made these fans utterly loyal.

Even though some had unfollowed her due to prior incidents, with her team behind her and resources from Ji Sicheng, she still commanded a massive fanbase.

Sure enough, the role hadn’t even been finalized, yet the fans were already sent out to fight on her behalf.

However... this was no longer like before.

She closed her phone, tossed it aside, and smiled. “Don’t worry, this role won’t slip away.”
