“Hehe…”

“What are you laughing at? And you’re smiling so wretchedly.”

“I’m watching a drama. It’s super good.”

“How can web dramas be good nowadays?”

“This one is different,” her roommate intensely recommended, “I guarantee you’ll like it.”

“Really?” Xiao Ting didn’t really believe it, but her roommate has been watching this drama for two days. Besides sleeping in class, she spent almost all her time on it. There should be some redeeming qualities, right?

“It’s absolutely true. Especially the male lead, he’s so handsome! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a handsome actor in the entertainment industry, and he’s especially good at acting. I’ve decided that he’ll be my ultimate favorite from now on!”

“Do you need to be so exaggerated?” Xiao Ting was slightly convinced by her roommate’s words. Anyway, she couldn’t focus on reading now, so why not try watching?

She opened the video address sent by her roommate, and after the advertisement, she was instantly attracted by the grand opening. Then, she couldn’t help but wonder, is this really just a web drama?

‘Frost Falls’ began with the cliché story of the male lead heroically saving the damsel in distress. The female lead played by Shen Bao’er was involved in a murder case when she first stepped out into the world. She was wrongly accused as someone else was using her as a scapegoat and happened to hide in the male lead’s room. After that, she accidentally saw a beautiful man come out of the bath and was immediately mesmerized.

However, it wasn’t just the female lead who was fascinated. The netizens were also fascinated, okay? Xiao Ting couldn’t move her eyes away on the spot. Was this really something she could see without paying?

“Come, have some water,” her roommate snickered and looked at her. “To prevent your mouth from getting dry.”

Xiao Ting really swallowed her saliva, then let out a long breath, “Weiwei, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have doubted you.”

“Isn’t the male lead super handsome?”

“He’s not just handsome, his figure is amazing too. He’s not like the other feminine actors with no figure at all. This director really knows how to shoot. He caught our attention in just ten minutes.”

“The more you watch, the more you’ll like this male lead. Is there really such a perfect person in this world? I’m so jealous of the female lead! No, I’m jealous of Shen Bao’er. Indeed, only rich people can find such a handsome guy to act with them.”

“Oh, I just realized that the female lead is actually Shen Bao’er. She’s completely different from how she looks like in the previous movies.”

“Right? Not only did she become prettier, but her acting skills have also improved.”

“It should be all thanks to the director. I can see that the other supporting roles are not bad at all. Just from the first episode, we can see that the texture of the scenes is different from other web series.”

“It really gets better and better. Every case in the drama is really good. I really like the male and female leads. Also, the supporting characters and the male and female leads don’t have any unwanted emotional connections. It’s simply too good. I hate scenes where third parties and fourth parties are entangled.”

“Me too. I hate it when the male lead has a cousin and the female lead has a loyal suitor. I’m relieved to hear you say that.”

“Then I won’t disturb you anymore. I’m in trouble. After this episode, I’ll have to wait a week for the next episode. Can’t they change the weekly broadcast to a daily broadcast?”

Ever since ‘Frost Falls’ was released, such recommendations had been happening all over the internet. It proved that a good drama didn’t need to spend too much money on marketing. The audience didn’t want a good drama to be ignored.

The crew of ‘Frost Falls’ also felt that their drama had really become popular. When they went out to participate in the production of the variety show, every staff member was very polite.

Shen Bao’er sighed and said, “In the past, no matter how rich I was and how many female leads I acted as, these people were only polite to me on the surface. I didn’t feel like I was being complimented at all. As expected, it still depends on the quality of the work!”

Didn’t Director He feel the same? When he had first started filming, everyone was rather polite because of his teacher’s reputation. Later on, his two movies failed one after another. No matter where he went, he faced ridicule and disregard from others. But now, the drama he filmed was popular again, and everyone was more respectful to him than before.

He didn’t blame people for being realistic, because this was how society was. It was just more obvious in this industry. Just like what the good actor who had won many awards had said, when you became famous, you would be surrounded by nice people.

After going through so much hardships, Director He had calmed down. What impressed him was Song Qianming. His first drama was a hit, but Song Qianming was not arrogant or rude. He was not blinded by the crazy fans. Instead, he was calm. This was very rare.

This was indeed someone he had his eyes on. However, it was also because of this mentality that he could go far in this circle.

However, Director He would never know that Song Qianming had experience far more ups and downs than him. From a prince who was second only to one man, he became a single father without a job. Although he was happy with his first-time success, he was not muddleheaded.

However, most of the fans in this world were quite cute. In the past, he was the only blood-related younger brother of his royal brother. Although he was very popular with the women of the Lan dynasty, the women at that time were more reserved and would not express their feelings directly like the women of this world.

Song Qianming was touched when he saw them expressing their love and support for him so straightforwardly. No wonder so many people liked to be celebrities. It felt great to be supported by so many fans.

At the same time, Song Qqianming also knew that most of the fans only liked the character he played in the drama. Perhaps in the future, when better dramas came out, and more handsome male actors became popular, these fans would move on to like them. However, he understood that as long as they had supported him, he was grateful.

For the love of these fans, he had nothing to repay them with. The only thing he could do was to act well in every drama and do a good job in every variety show. As for his figure, even if they didn’t say anything, he would train himself well because he couldn’t lose his demeanor as a prince.

“Teacher Song, please get ready. We’ll be calling for you to go on stage soon.” While Song Qianming was still in a daze, the staff member came to invite him with a smile.

Today, they were participating in an online variety show that the video website had produced. It had been popular for two years. The hosts were also a few well-known veteran actors and singers. Although these people were not as good as professional hosts, it was precisely because of their wild hosting style and the gimmicks that every episode had many views.

It was precisely because of the high number of views that every episode’s guests were either strong or popular. For example, it was almost impossible for Song Qianming’s previous group to be on such a variety show. They wouldn’t even qualify as background characters.

But now, he was invited onto the stage as an official guest. He wondered how Yuan Fei, Zhong Boyi, and Ji Tong would feel when they saw this. After all, when he was exposed to have a daughter, they said that he had destroyed their chance to become famous and caused them to be eliminated by a variety show. What was that variety show called again?
