After Having Everything Taken Away, She Returns As A God

Chapter 708: How Bold of You, How Dare You Provoke Si Fuqing (1)

Several images and a video were included below.

The video shows the protagonist from the images dubbing, labelled with Homeward Deer.

Initially, netizens did not take this trending topic seriously.

Homeward Deer was too famous, and many tried to dethrone her.

Periodically, unflattering photos of Homeward Deer would surface, each worse than the last.

But this time, there was a video.

[Fans of Deity Voice from way back, this voice is unmistakably Homeward Deer’s, unmistakable. Her first role had this exact voice, it’s hard to mimic.]

[Not dreams shattered, it’s I’m entirely shattered…]

[So ugly, so ugly, I don’t know how you could ever call her a goddess.]

[Just thinking about such an ugly face voicing such a handsome character makes me want to vomit.]

[Enough said, I’ve thrown up. I was following her, but I’m unfollowing now.]

[Thank goodness she didn’t voice for Gu Zhinan, who only plays beauties. If Homeward Deer did the voice, I’d just see her face, and I couldn’t watch the show anymore.]

With the manipulation by hired trolls, the public opinion was unusually unified, everyone cursing her.

Gleaming Crystal saw this too.

She had thought Homeward Deer was at least average-looking, not expecting this appearance.

Although many fans professed not to care about Homeward Deer’s looks, the leaked photos and video plummeted their expectations, leaving even her staunch supporters unable to accept it.

Gleaming Crystal clicked her tongue in disappointment.

She had never imagined that a voice acting legend like Homeward Deer would fade in such a manner.

It was a case of reaping what one sows.

She was relieved she hadn’t turned down Gu Zhinan’s team.

After all, she was just an ordinary person, unable to compete with Gu Zhinan head-on.

It was just a pity for Homeward Deer.

Yet, Gleaming Crystal didn’t genuinely feel sorry; instead, there was a secret thrill in her heart.

She opened Homeward Deer’s Weibo, and under the latest recruitment post, there was nothing but vitriol.

[Why did you have to show your face? Isn’t it better behind the scenes? Disgusting!]

[I must have been blind to like you. I’m disgusted, you could have just stayed hidden.]

[Boycott Homeward Deer from voicing in ‘The World II’, don’t ruin our proud animation!]

There were also loyal fans and rational supporters holding their ground.

[It’s wrong to judge a girl by her looks alone. Homeward Deer’s talent is evident here; what does it matter what she looks like? I’ll continue to support her no matter what.]

[I don’t believe that’s Homeward Deer. Looks are given by parents and can’t be changed, but Homeward Deer couldn’t be this sloppy. She’s clean and gentle. If someone says she’s Homeward Deer, so she must be? I could say I’m the reincarnated Emperor Yin!]

[Front row, protect Homeward Deer! Wait for clarification!]

But these supportive voices were drowned out by the overwhelming criticisms.

Gleaming Crystal glanced over them without further interest and proceeded to voice act for Gu Zhinan’s new drama.

Gu Zhinan was riding high these past few days.

After the video and photos of Homeward Deer were leaked online, her popularity instantly flopped.

She lost half a million active followers.

And these were all genuine fans.

Moreover, a day passed, and Homeward Deer’s personal social media account remained inactive.

Deity Voice did not offer any additional defense, continuing to promote their new radio drama.

The section below was still full of curses.

The ratings for the radio drama “Roses and Light Kisses” began to plummet rapidly.

The pinnacle of domestic animation “The World,” which was preparing for its second installment featuring Homeward Deer, Serene Delight, and Upon Brocade, initially had fans ecstatic, now turned to boycotts.

In one day, Homeward Deer went from a celebrated voice acting goddess to being as unpopular as a street rat.

Even the other members of Deity Voice were heavily criticized.

“Feeling better now?” Sister Hua lit a cigarette, “She must be hiding somewhere, definitely regretting not voicing for you.”

If only she had complied from the start, why would she have to suffer like this?

Gu Zhinan liked a few posts on Weibo, put away her phone, “No time to worry about her now, the New Year’s Show is what matters.”

“Indeed, there’s no need to pay attention,” Sister Hua nodded in agreement. “She is not from your world.”

Starlight TV’s New Year’s Show had invited numerous celebrities, leading in reservation numbers among all television stations.

Originally, with the status of Su Yang and Lu Ningsheng, Starlight TV could not have secured them.

However, with Si Fuqing participating, both agreed readily to the invitation.

Starlight TV’s head already considered Si Fuqing one of their own and had scheduled her to perform first.

Si Fuqing sang “Mountain Ghost Ballard.”

[Wow, Deity Voice is at the center of controversy, and Si Fuqing is actually singing Homeward Deer’s signature song. That’s bold.]

[Stop mentioning Homeward Deer, it brings that face to mind again. I feel sick.]

[Setting that aside, Si Fuqing’s singing has improved. It’s identical to Homeward Deer’s original, and this rendition is even more melodious than the last.]

[Sigh, I actually still like Homeward Deer. I don’t care if she’s unattractive or overweight, it’s just that she’s too unkempt. How can a girl not care about cleanliness? That, I can’t accept.]

After Si Fuqing’s performance, the female host took the stage.

“Our teacher Si is truly incredible, a talented singer and dancer,” the host smiled. “Teacher Si is my role model. Not even twenty, and her first TV drama has already made it to IFTV. That’s an achievement unmatched by anyone.”

This statement caused a few female celebrities in the audience to visibly react.

The host received instructions from the organizers.

Today’s New Year’s Show was centered around Si Fuqing.

Handing over the microphone, the host asked, “The New Year is upon us. Teacher Si, do you have any messages for everyone?”

“First of all, I wish everyone a happy New Year’s Eve,” Si Fuqing began with a raised eyebrow and a smile. “A new year and new journeys are about to begin.”

“Recently, some incidents have made me experience what cyberbullying feels like. I’d like to share with everyone here how to deal with such situations.”

Her statement caused the audience and other celebrities to sense something amiss.

While Si Fuqing did have a substantial number of haters, a large part of these were anti-fans from rival factions.

But her fans’ fighting spirit was not to be underestimated.

The anti-fans could hardly touch Si Fuqing.

Why would Si Fuqing publicly discuss cyberbullying?

This was the New Year’s Show!

With an audience of eighty million watching!

With no directive from above, and no intervention from the host,

Si Fuqing spoke calmly, “Everyone knows I’m straightforward and deal with anti-fans personally, so I’ll take this opportunity to ask Teacher Gu.”

The host was taken aback.

However, the cameraperson had already instinctively turned the camera towards Gu Zhinan.

Gu Zhinan looked bewildered, and it wasn’t an act.

[Whoa, is this starting a fight now?]

[Gu Zhinan hasn’t provoked Si Fuqing, has she? What is she doing? Even if Gu Zhinan lost to her in the audition of Sui Yan last year, she’s still her senior. That’s not how to be audacious.]

[If ‘Crossing the Demon Realm’ flops in ratings later, that’ll be a spectacle.]

Gu Zhinan frowned.

She had been tolerant enough towards Si Fuqing. What was she up to, why couldn’t she let go of her?

Aside from the audition of Sui Yan last year, there hadn’t been any other conflicts between them.

This was a live broadcast of the New Year’s Show, watched by countless people.

Was Si Fuqing going off the rails again?

But with the camera on her, Gu Zhinan couldn’t just pretend not to see.

She stood up, very politely, “Teacher Si, do you have something to say to me?”

Her apparent vulnerability against Si Fuqing’s aggressiveness could only earn her public sympathy.

Regardless of what Si Fuqing said, the advantage would remain with her.

“I won’t voice act for you, if you have any complaints, say it to my face, not behind my back. Be straightforward, maybe then I could respect you.” Si Fuqing slowly smiled, “Also, those photos and videos you released, the people in them aren’t me, you’ve mistaken someone else.”
