Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman (1-200)

Chapter 138: Turmoil In Weibo, You Were Born To Act

Cheng Zhou wanted to give these fans a massive shocking visual impact.

When ‘Empire Under Siege’ first released some of their promotional preview pictures, Princess Qixia that was portrayed by Jin Sitian received severe critiques from the fans of the original novel. The characters in ‘Empire Under Siege’ were all very much alive and full of depth, there were practically no antagonists in it, only passionate and intense characters, which in itself was a highlight of the entire work.

Apart from the male lead who attracted the most fanbase, one of other female character—Princess Qixia, was also amazing. When the fans of the novel first read about the death of Princess Qixia, most of them were imagining skinning the author and chopping him up with a knife because it wasn’t necessary for her to die in the first place.

So once there was news about how the novel was going to be turned into a drama, the fans of the novel were very much looking forward to it. Then when they saw the director of the movie was Cheng Zhou and who the male lead was, their anticipation increased another notch.

But later, there was some massive disbelief when they heard that Cheng Zhou had used a newcomer with no prior acting experience to play the second female lead, and the third female lead was an entertainer that was only known for her pretty face and nothing else in the entertainment industry.

When the promotional pictures came out, the second female lead had the forbearing affection deep in her pair of cold eyes, and Xiao Yun had really proved her strength with it. The fans were all going crazy on Weibo, screaming that this was exactly the ‘Concubine Zuo Qiuxiang’ that they love—the independent, strong, and unconventional woman!

There were no problems or critiques for the rest of the crew selection, except for Jin Sitian who played the role of Princess Qixia.

As the number one beauty in the novel, there were many discussions among the fans regarding the selection of the actress for Princess Qixia before the release of the actual list. There were even some who had made polls on Weibo, only everyone’s opinions had differed, and finally one person concluded: For such a stunning, amazing and gorgeous woman, I don’t think anyone in the current entertainment circle is suitable. Those who are good in acting don’t have the looks, and those who are great in appearance don’t have the skills. They simply can’t display the temperament that Princess Qixia has.

This comment had been liked by countless people. That’s right, the celebrities nowadays, including those first-rate ones, relied on their looks to earn the money, and not their acting skills.

So in the end, everyone wasn’t bothered too much by Jin Sitian’s problem. Since no one could fit the role of Princess Qixia, at least they had found someone with a gorgeous face that was pleasing to the eyes.

Then the actress was changed in the middle, and this made Jin Sitian’s fans angry. They felt that their idol had been wronged, and Jin Sitian herself had yet to update her blog for a good few days. Various thoughts like ‘Tian Tian has been oppressed by the people in the crew’ lingered on their minds for a long time.

So all day, there were many comments in the Weibo forum, all talking about how they needed to seek justice for their idol. And then a post came out on the crew’s official Weibo page.

The first picture showed a woman in a red princess dressing, her face as pretty as a picture, fair appearance, elegant arch of eyebrows. She was looking up slightly, revealing a pair of obsidian eyes that glittered, clear and sparkling. It made everyone who saw the picture catch their breath in their throat.
