Everyone sympathized with Ning Wei, leaving her messages of comfort and support under her Weibo, saying they would seek justice for her, and her fan count skyrocketed.
Ning Xia and the director's Weibo, on the other hand, were bombarded with insults and filthy language from fans, passersby, and onlookers to the point of being heinous, even the official Weibo of the "Deep Palace" crew had to shut down comments due to the abuse.
This move further infuriated the fans, who began to launch boycotts of "Deep Palace" and of Ning Xia, declaring that if Ning Xia was not removed from "Deep Palace," they would resolutely refrain from watching it.
The topic shot up to number one, and the top ten trending searches were all about Ning Xia, the director, and other related personnel, causing a huge impact.
