In the past, it was always Wen Yao whose actions were restricted, but now it was Wen Rou herself. Wen Rou felt very uneasy about this feeling, she began to panic a little, always feeling that Wen Yao would replace her. But now Wen Yao was already shooting for the drama, and with her arm injured, coupled with her inability to handle the martial arts scenes, she could only temporarily let Wen Yao continue to stand in for her. Wen Rou decided that after the film was finished, she would send Wen Yao abroad and personally take on future jobs, burying this secret deep. Wen Rou and Yuan Min went to a high-end restaurant they frequently visited. The restaurant's privacy was well maintained, as before this, Wen Rou had met with tycoons several times at this restaurant without being caught by the media. So this time they were at ease and did not notice a small tail following them, nor did they know that besides the small tail, there were a pair of eyes fixed on them several times during the meal. At ten o'clock in the evening, Wen Yao had just finished filming for the day and was about to take a hot bath to relax when her phone rang. It wasn't the phone she had bought herself afterwards, but the original owner's phone. This phone had originally been confiscated by Yuan Min, but Wen An created a drama group and required all staff members to add the phone, and he would announce the shooting arrangements inside. Originally, Wen Yao acted as a stand-in, taking Wen Rou's place when Wen Rou found the work too hard. It wasn't always Wen Yao, and this time Wen Yao was going solo. Therefore, Yuan Min could only return the phone to Wen Yao. But in terms of the phone's functions, Wen Yao could only use calls and WeChat, while all other applications were locked by Yuan Min, and she couldn't open them at all. But for Wen Yao, these two functions were already enough. Wen Yao picked up the phone, opened WeChat, and looked at the photos sent by the contact she had just added in the afternoon, her lips unconsciously curling upwards. She hadn't expected to have results so quickly. After saving each photo, the paparazzi sent a message asking: "What's the next step?" Wen Yao replied: "Post a Weibo pretending to accidentally run into Wen Rou from a passerby's perspective, then find a small media outlet to praise Wen Rou's beauty." The paparazzi had no idea of Wen Yao's identity and originally thought that he had been approached by a rival of Wen Rou's, wanting him to dig up some dirt on Wen Rou. He was still trying to figure out how to help the other party and make a big fortune for himself. The result was completely beyond his expectations. Was the other party a member of Wen Rou's team? But this way of marketing beauty was too weak, at the very least it should buy some hot searches. Although the paparazzi felt helpless, he was just a newcomer to the industry, and having work to do was already good enough. So, according to Wen Yao's request, the paparazzi posted on Weibo. After seeing the Weibo post, Wen Yao immediately contacted Wei Ling via WeChat. "Wen Yao: Ling'er, are you asleep?" The other party immediately replied: "Not yet, playing on my phone and scrolling through Weibo." "Wen Yao: The photos we took together this afternoon are quite nice, let's post a Weibo together." After seeing the message, Wei Ling readily agreed without hesitation. In fact, since their encounter, she had admired Wen Yao. After getting to know each other, she found that their personalities matched well, and soon the two became friends. After becoming friends, Wei Ling had wanted to interact with Wen Yao on Weibo. But she was a martial arts double before and had only a few tens of thousands of fans, while "Wen Rou" had over six million fans on her Weibo. She was worried about being misunderstood as trying to curry favor, so she had not dared to initiate interaction with Wen Yao. Now that Wen Yao had taken the initiative, it was simply wonderful. After contacting Wei Ling, Wen Yao immediately contacted Wen Rou. As the owner of the celebrity account, Wen Rou was in charge, so Wen Yao could only contact Wen Rou if she wanted to post on Weibo. Wen Rou, who hadn't posted on Weibo for two to three days, was thinking about posting something to keep her account active, when she received the photos from Wen Yao. She selected one from the photos Wen Yao sent, in which Wen Yao was wearing a drama costume, holding a script, and standing intimately next to another actress. In this photo, Wen Yao looked impressive, and her appearance attracted Wen Rou at first sight. If she herself was attracted, her fans would be even more so. Wen Rou decisively chose this photo as it not only showcased her beauty, but also reflected her diligent work and good relationships on the set. Soon, Wen Rou edited and posted the Weibo. "Actress Wen Rou V: Filmed all day, only finished after washing up, posting a selfie with a new friend @Wei Ling in the afternoon, recording a hard yet fulfilling day [heart] good night." After the photo was posted, she soon saw Wei Ling had commented on her Weibo. "Wei Ling V: A sister who can be both salty and sweet, love it~" After replying with a flying kiss emoji, Wen Rou also liked the photo of them together on Wei Ling's Weibo page.
After giving likes, Wen Yi refreshed her Weibo and saw the praise from fans for herself.
"Wow, does Rourou act in a costume drama? This look is too handsome!"
"Working hard on filming, feel sorry for Rourou, Rourou is so dedicated!"
"Wow, the goddess is going to change her image, is this attire a female general?"
"Feel sorry for the dedicated Rourou, rest early, good night, looking forward to the new drama~"
...
Wen Yi looked at everyone's comments. Although she knew the person in the photo was not her, what did it matter, as no one knew anyway.
After scrolling through two pages of comments, she felt it was a good opportunity to promote the dedicated persona; however, the marketing plans were arranged by the company, and she still needed to ask her agent's opinion.
Wen Yi immediately messaged Yuan Min.
Yuan Min, who saw the Weibo, also had the same idea.
Currently, there are too many hot searches for artists, which can easily be off-putting and damage one's reputation. The company has set up a spotless image for Wen Yi, so they don't often promote her on usual occasions.
The few marketing promotions mainly focus on praising Wen Yi's appearance, rather than her dedication. This time it's a good chance to promote her dedication.
Even if a vase female star becomes popular, there will still be a mix of fans and haters. To truly secure popularity, one must start with their professional skills.
So, Yuan Min immediately contacted the marketing team.

Today's filming started at 8 o'clock. The director requested everyone to be at the set to prepare costumes and makeup at 7 o'clock, but Wen Yao naturally woke up at 6 o'clock in the morning.
After getting ready, she found there was still some time before she could practice her morning exercises, so she picked up her phone and opened Weibo.
As soon as she opened it, she saw a trending topic called "#Wen Yi's New Drama Look#".
After clicking into the trend, she saw a blogger first praising Wen Yi's general look and complimenting her for being so dedicated despite being able to rely on her looks, making it rare to become a fan!
The comments section was also full of praise for Wen Yi.
Seeing that everyone credited her work to Wen Yi, Wen Yao didn't feel the slightest bit of discomfort. Instead, she looked happy.
After she had the paparazzi post on Weibo last night, she had Wei Ling and Wen Yi post on Weibo to leave more doubts and evidence for future exposures.
How could Wen Yi be in two places at the same time and have photos taken as proof? She didn't expect the evidence to be discovered by netizens so quickly.
After reading Weibo, Wen Yao received a message from Wei Ling.
She opened it and saw several pictures, which happened to be what she had the paparazzi send to the media yesterday.
[Wei Ling: Teacher Wen, the current marketing account is really unscrupulous. You were with me the whole day yesterday, seriously filming the whole time without leaving the crew at all, but this media actually said that a netizen encountered you.]
Wen Yi didn't expect someone around her to discover the clues so soon.
Wen Yi hurriedly replied: [How did you see this Weibo?]
[Wei Ling: Searched for your name.]
After seeing the trending topic, she had originally wanted to search for Wen Yi's homepage to see the comments on her Weibo from yesterday, but instead found several fan recommended posts.
The photos on those recommended posts were so beautiful that she wanted to save a couple to her phone, but unexpectedly, she scrolled to the bottom and saw this post.
Upon hearing this, Wen Yao immediately switched to Weibo for a search and quickly found the existence of this post.
What was ignored yesterday had now garnered hundreds of comments, all from fans defending her.
"Unscrupulous marketing account, my Rourou was filming the whole day, stop spreading rumors and die as a family!"
"Encounter my foot, seeking attention by piggyback riding on the trend!"
"How can they use an old photo and claim it's an encounter, isn't it just to tarnish Rourou's dedication?"
"Am I the only one who noticed the 'Saturday special buy one get one free' sign outside the bakery in the picture 5? Yesterday happened to be Saturday."
"Quietly agreeing with the top comment!"
"Stop creating a rhythm, everyone knows you're a brain-dead fan of Song Weiwei."
"Just because it says Saturday on the photo doesn't mean it was yesterday, the ad at the store downstairs displays the promotion from last year."
...
Wen Yao looked through the conflicting comments beneath the Weibo, knowing that her goal had been achieved.
As long as someone starts to doubt, the doubts will only grow, and in the end, it will be impossible to cover up.
Wei Ling thought it was an unscrupulous media using old photos to gain popularity, so after complaining a few words, she didn't pay much attention and asked Wen Yao to go to the restaurant for breakfast.
The entire crew stayed in the same hotel, so when the two people arrived at the restaurant, many of their colleagues were already dining.
Wen Yao and Wei Ling picked some food they wanted and found a seat by the window to sit down, then heard someone calling her.
Wen Yao turned around, it was the director. A man in formal attire sat next to the director.
The director waved at her and said, "Little Wen, come and sit over here with us."
The two walked over upon hearing this.
Wen Dao introduced: "Xiao Wen, Xiao Wei, this is the investor of our play, Mr. Han Moyao." Upon hearing this, Wen Yao turned to look at the man sitting there, and her eyes immediately lit up.
The man's appearance was extremely good-looking, as if his features were carved by a divine craftsman, without any flaws, leaving Wen Yao unable to find a suitable idiom to describe him.
Wen Yao, after a brief moment of daze, politely called out, "Mr. Han."
Hearing this, Han Moyao looked up and his gaze fell on Wen Yao's face, with a hint of inexplicable meaning flashing in his eyes.
He nodded and said, "Please, have a seat."
In the face of this imposing and aloof man, Wen Yao didn't feel anything, but Wei Ling felt uneasy and quickly finished the food on her plate before pulling Wen Yao away.
Watching Wen Yao leave, Han Moyao asked, "Wen Dao, did you say that the play from yesterday went on until late at night?"
"Yes, we worked from six in the morning until around ten at night. Is there a problem?"
Han Moyao's deep eyes revealed a hint of meaning, as he said, "No, the actors must have been very tired. Let's have an extra meal at noon, it's on me."
Wen Dao nodded, not suspecting him, and said with a smile, "Then everyone will have good food."
