As expected, "Crossing the Dust" topped four trending searches on its first night of broadcast. The production team didn't spend any money; the popularity was all generated by the audience themselves.

Xu Ran didn't have many scenes in the first episode, but his popularity remained high. After all, everyone had already witnessed the acting skills of the male and female leads, so it can only be said that he met their expectations.

Xu Ran, however, was utterly stunning.

Junior Brother Chao Xi, dressed in the same light blue robe as the other disciples, unexpectedly stood out among the crowd. His jade-colored hairband tied his ink-black hair back, with a few stray strands falling across his forehead. His dark eyes were clear and bright, making him a handsome young man who could captivate anyone at first glance. He was tall and slender, and the jade pendant at his waist seemed to sway into the hearts of the audience with every movement.

Before dawn, Chao Xi had already gotten up and was practicing his sword meticulously on a deserted mountaintop. As the sun rose, he was already drenched in sweat. He didn't utter a word when his senior brothers and sisters teased him as they passed by, but his ears quietly turned red.

His hands were terribly sore and trembling after practicing swordsmanship. His senior brother brought some medicine to apply to them, teasing him on purpose. He put his hands behind his back, stubbornly refusing to give in. In the end, he carefully hid the ointment his senior brother had left behind in his cabinet.

Hearing his senior sister say she wanted roast chicken, he secretly went up the mountain to catch a wild pheasant and brought it to her courtyard. He tried to leave without saying a word, but his senior sister happened to see him. She pinched his ear and thanked him with a smile. He kept a straight face, but his sleeves were almost torn to shreds. He turned his head away and couldn't help but reveal a smile.

【Ahhhh, Xu Ran, this time I'm really in love!】

[He's so cute! Sister Lin, you're tired of acting, let me act in one episode!]

[Sobbing, Ranran really kept his word! He really put in a lot of effort in acting this time.]

[Don't forget, Chao Xi is a villain, get ready to get tortured (smoke-lighting image).]

[Shut upstairs!]

Xu Ran was actually a little embarrassed to watch her own performance, but Pei Jinchen was already sitting in front of the TV on time and she couldn't be pulled away. What could Xu Ran do but sit down next to her boyfriend?

Pei Jinchen looked at this on TV; it was so well-behaved and cute.

Then look at the one next to me...

Xu Ran saw through his thoughts, ruffled his hair with a mischievous grin, and said, "What, you like it? I'll act it out for you."

He played this role based on Pei Chenxi, and it was indeed excessively likable; he himself loved it to bits.

Even though he knew Xu Ran was teasing him, Pei Jinchen still gently shook his head: "You're fine the way you are."

He couldn't find anyone better than Xu Ran.

"Wow!" The little system exclaimed, its eyes sparkling. "Little Pei is so cute!"

Pei Jinchen never realized how moving his words were. Xu Ran's heart softened completely. She squeezed his thin wrist again and sighed, "He still needs to rest a bit more."

Pei Jinchen nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll eat properly."

On TV, the junior brother slightly raised his eyes, his sword practice was incredibly stubborn, but he became obedient when he saw his senior brothers and sisters.

  [At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name 1110 ...

Pei Jinchen thought to himself: His little star is about to become a big star.

The official team behind "Crossing the Dust" didn't keep the audience hanging; instead, they capitalized on the hype and released three episodes every day.

The early episodes of Chao Xi made netizens exclaim, "Heaven owes me a junior brother!" They dreamed of being the male and female leads and pinching the junior brother's cheeks every day.

#Group Stealing Kids#

#Little junior brother, come to your sister's arms#

Later, when he became the Demon Lord, netizens were moved to tears. The show aired every night from 6 PM to 8:30 PM, and netizens could cry all the way until midnight.

The official Weibo account for "Crossing the Dust" was also filled with cries of despair.

#Please give Chaoxi a happy ending, please#

#No one is allowed to bully him!#

Every day, working people go to work with red eyes, exchanging tearful glances with their colleagues, and saying the same thing every day: "Waaah, yesterday's morning was so miserable too."

Even though Chao Xi has tormented netizens countless times, they still steadfastly turn on the TV series every night at six o'clock.

I want to cry, but I can't let go.

A 36-episode TV series can be finished airing on the twelfth day, and viewers are even too afraid to watch the finale.

The bickering couple dynamic between the male and female leads is so endearing, and we really want to see them get together. But what about Chao Xi...?

They dared not look at Chao Xi's fate.

As soon as the opening music ended, the screen showed a long shot.

First, it rained heavily, then people were seen in the rain. The camera slowly moved forward, focusing on the hem of a garment dripping with blood.

They saw their junior brother... no, the Demon Lord.

Beneath the Demon Lord's black robes lay a body riddled with wounds. They saw him standing in the torrential rain, looking somewhat lost.

His eyes were so empty that they made one's heart tighten.

[Waaaaah, can someone please help him? He's in so much pain!]

Can someone please save him...?

No one can save him...

The sky was dark and gloomy on the rainy night, but when Chao Xi saw his senior sister in the video, his eyes lit up.

Viewers in front of their screens paused, and after a long while, someone slowly posted a comment.

[It turns out he wasn't entirely without hope.]

They couldn't bear to see this ending because they already knew in their hearts that Chao Xi had no way out; they thought he was heartbroken and despondent...

But did he still harbor a sliver of hope?

As his senior sister retreated step by step, his eyes dimmed completely. He smiled, his face calm, but the pouring rain seemed like his tears.

The rain mingled with his blood; the rain was his unshed tears.

[Senior sister, please don't back down, he's the junior brother...]

He was in a lot of pain.

The audience was sobbing uncontrollably, wishing they could rush into the screen and stop their senior sister.

Please, just hug him.

"Senior sister, don't point your sword at him. Chao Xi has never harmed you."

[Waaaa, my Chaoxi!]

As Chao Xi mercilessly plunged the sword into his own body, the forced smile finally vanished. Chao Xi closed his eyes and collapsed into the rain, staining the rainwater a deep crimson.

The senior sister trembled as she lifted his clothes, only to find that he was covered in wounds.

"ah!!!"

The senior sister in the video cried so hard she lost her voice.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... Senior sister will take you to get treatment."

"Junior brother, wake up, your senior sister was wrong..."

How could she be afraid of Chao Xi? He's her junior brother.

Even the sweetest moments between the main characters in the final episode couldn't heal the wounded hearts of the viewers.

[Damn it, I'm going to send the screenwriter a knife! Give me back my junior brother! Waaaaah!]

Xu Ran's fan group was filled with cries and wails, and it wasn't until Xu Ran herself went online that things calmed down a bit.

"Crossing the Dust" has only been airing for twelve days, but its popularity has remained high. Not only have the male and female leads reached new heights, but Xu Ran has also become a huge hit, making it arguably the biggest dark horse of the year.

Who would have thought that just six months ago he was facing ridicule from the entire internet and almost faded into obscurity, leaving the entertainment industry altogether?

Now, whenever there are haters criticizing him, his fans don't even need to lift a finger; the fans of the drama "Crossing the Dust" can go up and verbally abuse him to death.

#No one is allowed to criticize Xu Ran#

They can't help but feel affection for Xu Ran whenever they see her face.

Junior Brother really tormented them terribly.

Haters: Are you guys sick? Chao Xi is Chao Xi, and Xu Ran is Xu Ran. Can you be a little more rational?

Unable to swallow this insult, the haters secretly went to watch "Crossing the Dust".

……

Damn, I can't keep this up anymore.

Damn it, can't you resurrect Chao Xi for me?

Xu Ran, wearing his junior brother's face,... scolded... but couldn't bear to.
