I opened the link he sent me and clicked on it. It was a clarification from a literary youth, just five minutes ago.

"Indeed, I was previously in contact regarding the script, but because I currently want to break out of my comfort zone and portray other characters, the director and I have unanimously decided to collaborate next time. (Image JPG: conversation with the director a few months ago)

"Su Ke is the best fit for the audition and the role's image, so the production team unanimously chose her. There is no situation of stealing the limelight. Please look forward to this work."

In the comment section,

When did I, Wenjie, ever explain things due to various messes and bother with responding to accusations of being transgender? This time, I unexpectedly posted an explanation... for someone else's sake.

Reliable source: Bai Yong and our Wenjie had previously collaborated. Bai Yong was afraid that Su Ke would be attacked online, so he asked Wenjie to make the post.

Reply below: "Bai Yong, don't love too much."

Immediately after, I opened Bai Yong's Weibo and saw a three-minute-long video,

"I'm sorry, as you all said, the male lead in 'Iron Lady' was taken from Zhou Zetian by me. I apologize to Zhou Zetian's fans and friends..."

"But Su Ke's role was indeed obtained through her own efforts. Please believe in her."

Then, director Qin Sheng appeared,

"Su Ke was personally chosen by me, there was no stealing the limelight." He also presented the evaluations from the audition at that time, saying, "This graduate from a genuine film academy is a promising talent."

In the video, Bai Yong solemnly bowed again, expressing gratitude for the support from fans throughout these years.

"One of the reasons that has kept me working hard all these years is her."

"She never thought of riding on my popularity. It's not that she doesn't deserve me, but I am pursuing her."

"I hope everyone will stop saying she's undeserving. She deserves the best of everything."

"Lastly, I also want to tell everyone that I have a new goal in life. I look forward to meeting you all in a different capacity."

In the comment section:

Zhou Zetian: "This incident has caused a stir, blame me, blame me. Filming has started, and I was dragged back home by my grandfather to study. I had no other choice but to let Yong Ge help me (not for the sake of creating a CP relationship)... Yong Ge, keep it up!"

"Brother, are you planning to leave the entertainment circle?"

"Your fiancée was scared away by the criticism, how pitiful."

"What kind of identity are you going to switch to? Husband, say something!"

"The one who said something like this last time ended up showing off their child in the next second... Tell me it's not true..."

The online insults diminished while the goodwill of netizens replaced them more and more.

"Come on, think about it. Someone liked by your brother couldn't possibly be the rotten person you all describe. As for this CP, I'm definitely shipping it."

"Su Ke has acted in several web dramas, her acting skills are decent, and she's good-looking too."

"No wonder Bai Yong is a model worker in Hengdian. It turns out he wants to win the Best Actor award soon and bring the beauty home."

"From their student days until now, they're so sweet."
