She wasn't afraid of vile people per se, but she was afraid of vile people with no bottom line. Ji Yi was careless; never in a million years did she think Qian Ge would actually make such a shameless move. To have taken Ji Yi's things for her own, Qian Ge even went around and took a bite at her!
Ji Yi wanted nothing more than to post on Weibo and tell the whole world right now that she wasn't the plagiarizer, Qian Ge was!
But she knew deep down that "The Legend of Qingcheng" aired before "The Tempestuous Grand Tang." Even if she told the truth, nobody would believe her!
If she really did post anything like that on Weibo, she was afraid it would just serve to invite even more abusive and hateful comments.
Now, Ji Yi finally understood that the most upsetting situation in the world was the agony of not being able to explain yourself.
