A female protagonist who suffers abuse in a novel? I'm flipping the table and going crazy on th

The calls Li Min received were either from film and television companies or offered her endorsement deals.

They're either discussing script investment or film and television production collaborations; the buzz is overwhelming, and countless resources are coming their way.

Li Min used the same script to politely decline all the calls that came in.

Popularity is a double-edged sword; it can elevate someone to godlike status overnight, or cause them to collapse and be shattered to pieces.

Wen Qi is currently at the center of a storm on the internet, and her every move is being watched by countless cameras.

At this time, accepting numerous endorsements and signing investment deals will only lead to accusations of "riding the wave" or "putting on a show to grab attention."

Even normal cooperation can be maliciously interpreted, used against you, and cause you a lot of trouble.

Once the script has generated buzz, the timing of its adaptation into a film or television series won't affect its massive success.

Haste makes waste.

Lu Family Villa.

After the script debate, Qin Ziyan was completely out of her mind and absent-minded throughout.

Holding a pen, he couldn't write a single word for a long time. His eyes were vacant, and he was lost in thought, exuding a listless and lethargic feeling.

Everyone present saw it all, and they understood perfectly well what was going on.

Su Xinghe moved his chair to the side, deliberately creating distance between himself and Qin Ziyan.

I was afraid of being upset by this "depressing atmosphere".

Time flew by and it was already 6:30 pm. The dismantling workers finished their get off work on time.

Two-thirds of the huge villa has been demolished, most of the walls have collapsed, and bricks and stones are scattered all over the ground.

The once magnificent mansion now has only a few structural elements remaining.

As soon as the workers left, the reporters who were waiting on site immediately surrounded the cameras and began to review the day's demolition progress.

"The demolition of the villa is now two-thirds complete. The entire process was filmed live, and no hidden spaces such as dark rooms or secret rooms as rumored online were found."

Only some old furniture and items were found in the basement, all of which have been photographed and documented; nothing unusual was found.

Although Wen Qi resisted looking at her phone, she noticed that many live-streaming influencers' cameras were focused on her.

I knew the script's promotion was going to be a sure thing, and I couldn't be happier.

Seeing that the workers had all left work, Su Xinghe leaned slightly forward and said to Wen Qi, "I won't be coming tomorrow."

Wen Qi raised an eyebrow: "What, you don't want to work with me anymore?"

"No, you're getting too much exposure right now. The whole internet is watching you. If I follow you into the spotlight every day, it'll be too easy for people to recognize me."

Su Xinghe just wants to keep a low profile right now; if he gets recognized, the Su family's affairs will be brought up.

His grandfather is already in jail; he doesn't want to be repeatedly dragged into the trending topics again.

Wen Qi didn't insist: "Fine, if you don't want to come, then don't come. It's up to you."

Su Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief.

He's just asking for trouble today.

If it weren't for the mysterious nature of those three divinations, his curiosity wouldn't have gotten the better of him...

Wen Qi looked at Qin Ziyan, who was still lost in thought, and gestured, "Let me see your market analysis."

Qin Ziyan subconsciously clenched the script in her hand, her eyes darting around: "I... I didn't write it well, I just wrote something casually, it's not of much reference value."

Wen Qi saw through his little scheme at a glance: "This is my family's script, do you think I'd let you take it home? Hurry up and bring it over, don't dawdle."

After hesitating for a long time, Qin Ziyan still handed over the script.

Wen Qi caught it.

Qin Ziyan, still holding the other end of the script, said, "Then... let's not make this public."

Wen Qi's eyes were playful: "Don't worry, we have no grudge against each other. I don't have the habit of revealing other people's privacy."

"..."

"..."

Collective silence.

It means, if there's no grudge, don't reveal it; if there is, then expose it.

Qin Ziyan breathed a huge sigh of relief.

No matter what you do in the future, you must never have anything to do with Wen Qi again.

He's sharp-tongued, meticulous, and a bit uncanny. If he stays any longer, he might get his secrets exposed.

Wen Qi read Qin Ziyan's market analysis, which was not bad, but her lips twitched as she read the later part.

To be fair, Qin Ziyan's expertise is indeed relevant, including market research and understanding of the script's market potential.

It is written in a clear and organized manner with detailed data, making it a model to follow.

But he also wrote something else.

The comments on the male lead's pursuit of his wife in the romance storyline were so shocking they shattered all conventional wisdom.

The entire piece is an attempt to whitewash the male protagonist, with every word conveying his forbearance and hardships, completely failing to escape the author's own emotional filter.

If this were to be exposed, given the current level of public awareness and values, Qin Ziyan would definitely be subjected to cyberbullying.

Qin Ziyan kept a close eye on Wen Qi's expression, and when he saw that she looked unwell after reading it, his heart skipped a beat.

Unable to resist pressing further, she asked, "Ms. Wen, you really won't expose this, will you?"

Wen Qi gave him a very complicated look: "No."

Qin Ziyan was completely relieved: "Then... I won't come tomorrow, I still have things to take care of at the company."

Wen Qi curled her lip: "Writing such rubbish is pointless, there's no point in coming here."

"..."

Qin Ziyan didn't dare to say another word.

He originally intended to bring Wan Jiansi along today.

Even though Wan Jiansi didn't come, he still bragged about it to Wan Jiansi...

I'll probably get mocked when I get back.

Wen Qi turned to Li Rui beside her: "Yours, give it to me."

Li Rui handed over the script.

He sat on pins and needles all afternoon.

Old Master Wen failed to handle the matters he entrusted to him.

I wonder if the old man watched the live stream. If he saw him honestly helping Wen Qi analyze the script, he'd definitely get a scolding when he got back.

Therefore, he included some personal opinions in his review.

The reason why Old Master Wen sent him here today is to remind Wen Qi not to be too arrogant, because people without family support are destined not to go far.

The review subtly mentioned some of these points.

Hopefully, the young lady will have some self-awareness after reading this.

Wen Qi took the script, but after only a few minutes, her face darkened.

She raised her hand and threw the script back at Li Rui: "Look at this yourself, what kind of nonsense have you written?"

Li Rui subconsciously caught the script: "Miss, you said before that you only wanted me to analyze the logic of the script, so I only sorted out the plot logic."

"I asked you to analyze the logic, and this is what you came up with? This is a historical romance novel with a strong female lead."

Look at what you've written! Every sentence is a testament to the Emperor's authority. What, are you some old eunuch serving the Emperor?

Li Rui was very dissatisfied: "Miss, I was commenting based on the status of ancient emperors. Ancient emperors were supreme, holding the power of life and death, and their authority was supreme. It is ridiculous for a woman to dare to dream of holding power."

He didn't understand anything about female protagonists, nor did he read novels. He only knew that women shouldn't get involved in important court affairs.

Wen Qi laughed in exasperation after hearing this: "Butler Li, you wouldn't be using these things you wrote to give me pointers, would you?"

Li Rui was taken aback, and of course denied it: "No."

"But I just feel like you're here to warn me."
