Chapter 5 - Calming the Cosmos

"Miss, you're late. Sir just left!" Aunt Liu said when she saw An Wen entering the house.

"Sir?" An Wen asked in confusion.

"Sir brought miss some gifts. I'll bring them to you." Aunt Liu brought over a few gifts from the sofa and passed them to her. "Sir misses you. He was very anxious when he'd found out that you'd injured yourself. Sir had no choice but to leave due to urgent matters."

An Wen's memory had shown that she had returned to the country alone. Who could this mister be?

It was only the second day and she had yet to receive all the information regarding the Original Host.

"Aunt Liu, is dinner ready?" An Wen changed the topic.

"Dinner is ready. I'll start serving it now," Aunt Liu said as she turned around to serve the dishes.

An Wen took the gifts and went upstairs. She placed her bag and the gifts on the bed before coming down for dinner.

It was nighttime. An Wen changed into her pajamas and started browsing the internet after drying her hair.

[Calming the Cosmos is hiring. The next superstar could be you!]

She scrolled down to the comment section for more details about Calming the Cosmos. Many well-known actors were starring in the show. The male lead was Xia Wei, a first-rate actor who was in the center of the spotlight recently. Meanwhile, the female lead was a first-rate celebrity named Ye Xiaoxing.

An Wen then headed to Weibo and searched for Calming the Cosmos' official forums. The top ten discussions in Weibo were from the male lead's fans. To top it off, the hottest discussion had a total of 43,000 likes. It was incredibly frightening.

She continued scrolling down and the twelfth hottest topic was written by a fan of the novel.

[God has descended, and he shall conquer the world! My strength comes from my family above the clouds!]

As she scrolled down, An Wen found more comments left by other fans of the novel.

[They really are going to make a series out of it. Xia Wei is handsome but he's bad at acting. While he may be able to portray my God Zhun's cold behavior, he definitely can't bring out my God Zhun's gentleness and emotion. I don't want this dude to star as my beloved!]

[You better tremble in fear as you beg us fans for forgiveness! Not only will you be scolded if your acting is bad, but you also won't be let off the hook easily!]

[I've got my blade prepared. Just you wait, screenwriters.]

[As a novel fan, here are my two cents. 1. God Zhun isn't just someone good looking. Director, please don't let the male lead act as he did in his previous shows. 2. I'm requesting to cut any scene Goddess Qing is involved in as no one in the entertainment industry is able to play the role of Goddess Qing. 3. Dear screenwriters, please have a look at the original work. Isn't it bad that the actors and staff get all the scolding even after giving it their all?]

In Weibo, this topic had 23,000 shares, 34,000 comments, and 20,600 likes. It was not just the actors that had attracted so many people, there were the novel's fans as well.

Sorting the comments by age instead of rating produced a complete mess. There were curses all the way down.

[Goddess Qing is the only one without any official announcement. Please cut Goddess Qing's part!]

[Xia Wei is talented. He's definitely my God Zhun!]

[I've been reading this book for more than 4 years. Whenever I run out of books to read, I reread this book. I've done it at least ten times and won't allow anyone to destroy it. I've memorized all the actors in Calming the Cosmos. I'll definitely carve their names on tombstones.]

As this person's comment had crossed the line, there were many replies coming from the fans.

[The novel and the series are two different entities. Since you're a fan of the novel Calming the Cosmos, don't watch the series if you hate it so much.]

[Did you do it on purpose? I'll carve tombstones for your entire family during the Qingming Festival you f*cking idiot!]

While there were people encouraging him, there were also those who scolded him. There were simply too many opinions. It was no surprise that the post had attracted so much attention.

The post had gone up two days ago and the heated discussion had been ongoing ever since.

Bored with the war between the novel's fans and the actors' fans, An Wen left the post and noticed a discussion on Weibo's hot topic section. [Who in the entertainment industry is most suitable for the role of Qing Sha.]
