After gender swapping, my best friend and I hardcore BL (Boys' Love) became top influencers.

A certain Douyouer group (related to the Star Group)

[Where's my contact? Come out quickly! I desperately need you!!!]

[This is really a mess. Before, during, and after the recording of the first episode, this group was almost in an uproar. But as soon as the official episode aired today, all the drama stopped. I will never trust any so-called "connected sister" again.]

[And so it goes, one mistake after another...]

[Actually, the hype hasn't stopped, it's just that all the hype about the first performance has been proven wrong, and now other hype has started.]

What are they up to now?

There have been so many incidents, I don't even know where to begin.

The main battlefield is next door, but I don't recommend casual observers go in right now. There's driftwood flying around randomly in the air. My ID card was just taken recently; I don't need to replace it.

Has the situation become this dire? There doesn't seem to be any major news, so why is it escalating like this?

[No big news yet? Sister, have you been offline lately?]

The "stealing and swapping of center positions" incident in Group B of "Neon Confession" alone has caused quite a stir.

[This mainly involves the American CP (couple) pairing; otherwise, who cares how a few obscure celebrities make a fuss? Look at them now, is anyone even talking about them?]

[Actually, everyone is criticizing them. The fact that the Korean trainees ganged up to steal the center position, openly made veiled attacks, and bullied the Panda trainees—any one of these things alone would have been enough to get them banned and forced to withdraw from the competition. The reason it seems quiet right now is because the fighting between other groups is too loud.]

[Li Shu has actually benefited from this misfortune. This whole ordeal was completely unexpected for him, but it has actually gained him a lot of goodwill from casual viewers. I just checked his real-time vote count, and it seems like he'll be in the running for the second round.]

The real undeserved disaster has to be the American couple. Before the show aired, a bunch of people were stirring up trouble on various forums, confidently saying that the "Lingjiao" couple was stealing Su Xingran's center position. But after the show aired, we found out what they had to do with each other. Did the selection process for Group A even last more than a minute? Those two knew they weren't good enough, and they were just picking up the parts that no one else wanted.

[Exactly! To put it bluntly, Ling Tinglan and Jiao Wangshu are so popular, so what if they're in the center position? Can't they work hard to achieve it? Besides, their progress this time is so obvious. For complete novices to have reached this level is already very hard-working and talented.]

To be honest, talent is a cruel thing. They were born for this. Many people practice for two or three years and still can't compare to them practicing for two weeks.

[The American sister and the solo fans of both sides are already settling scores one by one. Before the first performance aired, the fans were probably confused, not knowing if the center position was real, or how their idols were performing. They were all keeping a low profile. Now that the truth is out, the American sister and the solo fans of both sides are going to settle scores one by one.]

[I was fortunate enough to witness the front lines of the war. Their fans are truly amazing. They actually managed to access the internet and scroll down a long list of IDs that seemed endless. They even took screenshots and posted them as evidence, so they have a solid case to settle accounts with.]

American women really keep detailed "account books" on everyone's face. I've never seen any fandom that holds grudges like this.

To be honest, this kind of behavior is really low. Luckily, it's not someone I'm a fan of; it's really embarrassing.

Yes, yes, you're the most noble person in the whole world. I'd be a fan of yours no matter who I'm with (double ten)

[Receive, receive with great joy (hands clasped together)]

[Meeting a fellow fan like this is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It's incredibly insightful. When rival fandoms are fighting, the value of a passerby praising you as a rational fan is comparable to a man praising you as a good woman.]

[It's fine to say it online. I usually pretend to not care, but you actually believe me. If someone actually says even half a word against me, I'll instantly put on my uniform and become a regular soldier.]

To put it bluntly, everyone laughs at America's leader, but everyone wants to be America's leader.

[It's all deserved that things have escalated to this point. They insulted Ling Tinglan and Jiao Wangshu so much before, just because of a few baseless rumors, they acted as if they had dug up their ancestral graves. Their fans tolerated every single thing they did out of consideration for their idols. Now this is what they call karma coming back to haunt them.]

[It's said that after this incident, fans of other groups have reached a consensus: they won't attack the American pair unless there's solid evidence, to avoid being retaliated against and turned into mincemeat later.]

Our American sister is so vengeful!

[What are you saying? Don't solo stans hold grudges?]

[Who exactly started this rumor that the American couple's fans beat up the solo stans? I really didn't believe you guys. Those solo stans are incredibly vicious too.]

[Especially the female fans of Ling Tinglan, who are both rich and highly capable; their million-repost giveaway on DaYan went viral.]

[But isn't this a bit too crazy? They're even insulting each other's partners, treating their childhood sweethearts like sisters-in-law. I've never had a good impression of this kind of overly radical fandom. I'm just waiting for a bombshell to drop.]

[If solo stans don't criticize their partners, who should they criticize? The person upstairs only sees Lanwei criticizing Jiaowei, so why didn't you say anything when Jiaowei criticized Lanwei?]

[Relax, the toxic fans only get defensive towards the real sister-in-law. Our Lingjiao 99 has a good relationship, so it's bound to attract more jealousy.]

【Seriously? These two are so inseparable, how come they still have solo fans?】

[Actually, it's not hard to understand. With faces like Ling Tinglan and Jiao Wangshu's, it would be a big problem if they didn't attract solo fans. Besides, there are a lot of fans who ship the two characters as a couple, and they all use each other as a facade. It's said that the reason why Ling Tinglan's solo fans hate her so much is because during the first performance, Jiao Wangshu's fans attacked Ling Tinglan's solo fans, and the solo fans felt that the other party was just being provocative (shrug)]

[Could it be that "creative heart-making" fan who's trending on social media...?]

[SOS!!! I got into this fandom after seeing that fan event! I haven't seen an idol so passionate, sincere, and appreciative of their fans in so long. And now you're telling me that this fan event is indeed for solo fans, but for other solo fans?! I'm going to complain now, what gives them the right to do this?!]

[Because he loves his husband (resting his chin on his hand). Just kidding, actually I'm more inclined to think it's because this idiot mistook a fan for someone else. I watched the first-person perspective, and at the time, Ling Tinglan and Jiao Wangshu's fans were sitting together, so it's possible he made a mistake.]

[I'm speechless. Do the fans of these two groups have to stick together and follow their idols exactly?]

The "Lingjiao" couple's CP fans have a certain code. Those who like both are the "regular army" of CP fans. Those with a biased perspective automatically become fans of Ling Tinglan, while those with a biased perspective truly love Jiao Wangshu. They ship the characters openly, even the most die-hard solo fans can't resist sneaking a few bites of something delicious, but if there's any conflict, they'll be the first to jump up and smash the other person's head off.

[This is what our "Little Wave" and "Crescent Moon" are like!]

That's great! This way, both the celebrity and the fans can stay connected forever.

[OMG! Everyone, stop chatting now! There's another juicy scoop!!!]
