The more rational netizens @ed the official Weibo of "King Meets King," seeking an explanation. The irrational ones went directly to Ruan Qi's Weibo page and cursed her out.
Previously, Ruan Qi had attracted a number of fans due to winning two consecutive sessions of "King Meets King." Now, these people were unfollowing her and even kicking her while she was down.
All night long, the topic #RuanQiCheated# kept fermenting. The fans were in agony, and the lights in Jinhua Public Relations Department's office stayed on the entire night.
It wasn't until seven o'clock the next morning that an even more explosive Weibo post completely blew the simmering undercurrents into towering waves.
[v230: Everyone's talking about Ruan Qi, right? Then let me add a few words. Everyone knows that Ruan Qi was exceptionally admitted into Imperial University as a little genius, but did you know that she can't be found on any education websites?]
