Over the next two days, 'W.H.' officially finished showing in theaters and wrapped up the season with close to $2 billion in ticket sales. With this result, Jennie showed off her box office dominance. Combined with her results from 'Stupid', she officially became known as the 'Box Office Queen'.

One 'Stupid' and one 'W.H.' was enough to stabilize her foundation as a great actress. Even if she didn't end up receiving a Fei Tian Award, she was already seen as the best newcomer in everyone's eyes.

Of course, competition for the Fei Tian Awards​ was as fierce as ever. As a result, Ye Lan's fans went around slandering Jennie, claiming that the results were definitely influenced by Elder Manoban in some way. After all, no one was willing to accept that their idol didn't compare to others. Although Ye Lan did not have a great personality, her acting was undeniably good, so it was only normal for her fans to be upset.

"If someone else receives the award, I won't mind. But, if it's Jennie, there's no way I can accept it. After all, Jennie and Ye Lan's acting is practically on the same level."

"These awards are getting worse each year. It's obviously rigged."

Over the next few days, there were plenty of discussions about who would be the winner of the Fei Tian Awards​. After all, this year had the most suspense and competition was fierce. The public seemed to have become accustomed to expecting that whenever Jennie was involved, there was bound to be a good show. But, how could an actress that announced her retreat be deserving of an award?

"I feel that giving the award to someone that has retreated, is a mockery to those that are persistent."

"I have no comment about her decision to retreat, after all, everyone has their right to make their own choices, but...when it comes to an award, it should be given to someone that is serious and hardworking."

Because of Jennie's retreat, plenty of people had their opinions.

Although she continued to have films to release, retreating suggested that she had given up on being an actress, whether it be a temporary or long term decision.

...

Late at night, Song Yanshu was at home drinking wine and watching television. The entertainment news was currently focused on predictions for the Fei Tian Awards. As she watched, her eyes darkened with a trace of ridicule.

"Jennie won't be winning an award this time," a cold voice could suddenly be heard coming from behind her. Song Yanshu turned around to find that it was her fiance. So, she immediately asked, "Why?"

"Because she's retreated from the industry! Even being nominated is already an award enough for her. There's no way that the organising committee will consider someone that has retreated."

"Why does that even matter? There's no rule against it," Song Yanshu refuted.

"It's insider information," her fiance replied as he sat down beside her and made a hush gesture. "Jennie can indeed act and Lisa is indeed powerful, but Manoban Entertainment has no control over the Fei Tian Awards."

"Although it hasn't been officially recorded, it is an unspoken rule amongst the judges."

"Have you not looked at the names of everyone that has ever won? Which winner has ever been someone that has retreated?"

"Someone that has retreated, will never win!"

"Does that mean Jennie unnie will go home with nothing?" Song Yanshu sat up, "That's impossible, President Manoban has calculated everything carefully, there's no way he wouldn't know about this."
