Chapter 331: Chapter 183 Passionate_3

That evening, the grand finale of "Yun Ni" followed the original’s perfect ending, with Ning Xiao and his junior sister retiring to live in the mountains and forests.

Yet, in the final shot, the camera pivoted to the Imperial Palace, where a secret petition concerning Ning Xiao’s overwhelming achievements was being urgently delivered to the palace.

"Nonsense, Ning Aiqing serves the country and the people, how could he be as the petition describes."

A commanding voice came from behind the curtain, and the camera then switched to the opposing desk.

There, a hand held the petition for a long time, for a whole ten seconds.

With that, the show was over.

The controversy over this ending lay in that the audience didn’t know whether the petition that the Emperor was looking at in the end was one accusing Ning Xiao or not.

If it was just an ordinary petition, it meant the Emperor trusted Ning Xiao, and everything Ning Xiao did was meaningful.

If it was the petition against Ning Xiao, then it became interesting. The Emperor spoke of trust, but his actions betrayed his true scrutiny, having taken the petition and seriously read it over and over again.

Because of the dispute over this petition, the audience split into many factions, each with its own interpretation of the TV show.

To prove their own ideas correct, as soon as the TV show’s finale aired, audiences went back to re-examine the details of the show over and over again.

Then everyone discovered that upon reevaluation, one realizes how meticulously the show’s details had been crafted, how exquisitely the costumes were made, and how praiseworthy the performance of every actor was.

As for the plot, it was one intrigue nested within another. During the viewing, it didn’t seem apparent, but stepping back, one could see how ingeniously it was all conceived, with an ending that lingered long after it was over.

The more the audience savored it, the more they felt the TV show’s details were incredibly well executed, and they flocked to the director’s social media to praise him.

However, the director quickly replied, "Actually, according to the script I conceived, we were prepared to shoot according to the original work. The many details added later, including the altered ending, were all Shu Wan’s suggestions."

[Really? Is Shu Wan that capable? How come I never noticed before?]

[To the comment above, have you forgotten so soon that Shu Wan’s recent performance was so outstanding it made you overlook the fact that she was the top scorer in the college entrance examination, with a perfect score in Chinese? Being able to achieve a full score in Chinese demonstrates that her literary foundation is indeed formidable.]

[I’m done for, I can’t go on like this anymore. If I keep this up, I’m going to become a fan of Shu Wan, she truly has a commanding aura, a true goddess in the circle, you guys know what I mean?]

While the audience was fiercely debating the ending of "Yun Ni" and getting excited over Shu Wan’s final fallen look, Shu Wan posted a set of street shoot photos.

In the photos, Shu Wan wore a mousy grey plaid coat with a plain teal scarf and the evening breeze lifted her long hair, teasing strands over her shoulders.

The myriad lights blended into her gaze, leaving one unsure whether it was a smile or a gleam in her eyes.

The dim lighting of the night wasn’t great, but it produced a subtle beauty, further accentuating Shu Wan’s innate cool temperament.

Suddenly, Shu Wan’s fans joined the frenzied battle that was trending all over social media.

That night, "Yun Ni" dominated the trending topics list, and for a long time after, there hadn’t been such an intensely passionate event.

The success of "Yun Ni" established Shu Wan firmly in the television industry, to the point where the first thought that came to mind when mentioning a vile antagonist was Su Wan, played by Shu Wan.

Now, those drama crews that had previously turned Shu Wan down were secretly regretting it, feeling that their rejection was too premature.

If they had signed Shu Wan before she became popular, perhaps they could have ridden on her coattails of popularity.

The magazine that had photographed Shu Wan as the "cyber fairy" sneakily brought back the pages they had previously deleted.

Although their opportunistic behavior was despised by the fans, the magazine cover featuring Shu Wan was simply too stunning to resist. The beauty that combined classic and futuristic elements made it impossible for the fans to turn away.

After countless issues had been published, the previously discontinued magazine issue was reprinted and even set a sales record.

Other magazines waiting on the sidelines then recognized the substantial commercial value in Shu Wan, and some commercial brands began to approach her for endorsements.

Wang Tian helped Shu Wan with endorsements, always consulting her opinion, and he wouldn’t even consider products she didn’t approve of.

Some top brands assumed that by extending an olive branch to Shu Wan, she would accept without hesitation, but to their surprise, they were rejected.
