After Having Everything Taken Away, She Returns As A God

Tang Haiqiu had invested ninety percent of the budget directly into the drama itself.

There were no cheap special effects, nor were there any gimmicky and low-quality costumes or props.

Mo Yishan’s portrayal of the flawed but compelling Celestial Ruler set a new standard, far surpassing the male leads in other romantic dramas disguised as xianxia.

From the main characters to the supporting roles, even the minor fairies in the background, everyone displayed meticulousness and attention to detail.

However, during the second episode, real-time comments under the tag “Crossing the Demon Realm” exploded.

Comments were popping up at the rate of ten per second.

[Ahahahahahah, how can it end here? Why stop at this point? Does the production team even care? You’ve stolen my tears and my emotions!]

[Wow, Tang Haiqiu’s choice for a female lead in a xianxia drama is intriguing. Just when I thought she would cry and beg the Celestial Ruler, she stood defiant against that couple and swore vengeance. I thought it was going to be another mentor-disciple tragic romance, but her turn to darkness was stunning, exactly as it should be! The plot is so gripping, I’m hooked!]

[Heaven and earth, demons and gods bear witness! Forget the characters in the show, even I got goosebumps listening to that!]

[Guys, I checked, there’s no dubbing! It’s the female lead’s own voice! Her own voice!!!]

[Isn’t that obvious? She’s the top voice actress after all, dialogue is a breeze for her, but I didn’t expect her camera work to be so impressive too. Those close-ups are right in her face, but every change in her expression kept me immersed. Her skin looks flawless even up close, can’t even see a pore.]

[Quick! Someone tell me who this actress is? What kind of acting is this? I’m going to stan!]

[Just two episodes? Only two episodes and four days a week of broadcasting? Even the production team’s donkeys wouldn’t rest like this! Don’t blame me for pushing you, just release the remaining thirty-plus episodes. I want to see the female lead storm the Celestial Palace and take that Celestial Ruler’s life!]

The comments continued to pour in from various IP addresses, clearly showing they weren’t fabricated but genuine viewer reactions.

Yu Tang watched as Si Fuqing’s fan count soared by two million in just one hour.

The official Weibo account for “Crossing the Demon Realm” also gained two hundred thousand followers in a flash.

The comments section was filled with demands for more episodes.

[Hurry up, don’t make me put a knife to your throat. You can finish broadcasting by tomorrow, right? Okay, got it.]

[Celestial Ruler, you’re dead! And the Celestial Queen, taking someone else’s body and still playing the victim, utterly disgusting.]

Eight out of the top ten trending topics related to Si Fuqing.

The remaining two were about “Great Zhao Dynasty” starring Tong Luoyun.

However, clicking on those revealed many professional drama reviews.

Unable to contain her excitement, Yu Tang squealed like a marmot, “Ah, ah, ah, Qingqing, you’re going to be famous!”

She had been following stars for a long time.

But there weren’t many stars who became instantly famous and had real talent over the years.

Usually, there was at most one each year.

Last year, Xie Yu emerged as an instant top-tier celebrity.

This year, the media was speculating about who would be the next breakout star.

Si Fuqing wasn’t even on the list, as the media still categorized her as just another popularity-driven celebrity.

But she made a massive splash at the start of the year.

As an actress.

Meanwhile, Si Fuqing’s phone started buzzing incessantly, notifications pouring in from all contacts.

Many were initially drawn by Lin Jihuan but ended up becoming even more enthusiastic fans of the drama.

Without exception, all praised her performance.

Si Fuqing, feeling a mix of emotions, felt her face heating up.

Returning to the big screen after so many years, she was affirmed once again.

This was the glory of an actor.

A tissue was offered to her face, and a man’s gentle voice said, “Wipe your tears.”

Si Fuqing rubbed her eyes, “I’m not crying.”

Yu Xihe raised an eyebrow, “Mhmm, you’re not.”

Si Fuqing: “…”

She snatched the tissue from his hand, muttering, “You black-hearted monster!”

“Ah, ah, ah, the forum on Qingqing’s fan page are also skyrocketing,” Yu Tang continued to squeal, “You’re really famous now! God, two episodes and you’re a legend!”

Si Fuqing glanced at the time; it was already half past ten.

Yu Xihe also noticed the clock and stood up, casually, “It’s time to go to bed.”

Si Fuqing saw Yu Tang jump three feet high, “What about Tangtang?”
