A Low Rank Female Goes Viral Across the Galaxy-Chapter 73: Conspiracy Theory

In the movie, during that fight scene, it was obvious the female lead and those ugly males weren’t using any high-tech gear when they flew.

’They were flying using just their bodies. Is that what Martial Arts is?’

’Then does that mean the part about plucking leaves and throwing flowers as weapons is real too?’

Wen Jiaqi was absolutely thrilled. She even wanted to reach out and touch a blade of grass by the roadside in the film.

’This is flora from the ancient era!’

But she didn’t miss any of the plot. The movie had reached the scene where Liu Yue’e was carrying a giant log and accidentally snagged Chen Jichang on it.

That was followed by the look in Liu Yue’e’s eyes, a look of love at first sight.

Wen Jiaqi followed the plot closely, and it soon reached the part where the male lead sang.

Then came the reluctant marriage.

Anyone could see that Chen Jichang didn’t want to marry Liu Yue’e. Later, he even mistakenly believed she had injured Su Dongpo’s family.

Some audience members had been wondering if a female injuring her partner’s friend’s family was taking things too far, but they instantly became furious...

’So it was a setup!’

’They knew it! The beautiful and adorable Liu Yue’e didn’t seem like that kind of malicious female at all.’

Although the audience didn’t think much of the male lead, they recorded every line of poetry he recited.

It wasn’t until the movie ended that the audience snapped out of their trance.

They all had one feeling: it was as if they had truly taken a trip to the ancient past.

They had personally witnessed a young couple meet, get to know each other, and fall in love.

They hadn’t gained much profound insight, but it was certainly an enjoyable watch.

More people, however, were focused on the ancient cultural knowledge embedded within it.

The researchers from the Ancient Culture Research Institute were still dazed after watching it. To study it more thoroughly, they even bought tickets for all the screenings for the next few days.

After all, newly released movies couldn’t be downloaded. Anyone who wanted to watch it again had to buy another ticket.

[Just finished *Mutual Affection*. Say what you will, but I have to admit Jiang Qin has a deep understanding of ancient culture.]

[I want Liu Yue’e’s outfit. Can the clothing companies please go talk to Jiang Qin about a contract already?]

[Same, want the outfit +1]

[Hehe, I already dyed my hair black so I wouldn’t look weird in an ancient-style dress.]

[It’s kinda good, but I can’t put my finger on why. Maybe I’m just uncultured. All I can say is, it completely demolishes the recent trash the Federation has been putting out!]

[The paid commenters are already at it? So many positive reviews, it’s obviously fake.]

[Heh, how else are they going to trick people into buying tickets? Just as expected from that little female who’s a master of gimmicks. Jiang Qin’s marketing skills are truly on another level.]

The head of the composition department at Four Seas Entertainment Company was also on the Star Network, browsing the new topics about Jiang Qin.

"Director, what should we post next?"

"Contact the major influencers to cement the narrative that she’s all about marketing gimmicks. The point is to make the public dislike her."

"I’m giving you full authority to handle this. Otherwise, you can imagine how badly we’ll lose in next month’s *Interstellar Composer*, can’t you?"

Xu Jie felt a bit uneasy. "Will this even work? Won’t it just generate more hype for her on the new song chart?"

"Hah. Her spot at number one is already a foregone conclusion. What does it matter if this adds more hype?

But the laymen won’t see it that way. You just need to guide public opinion a little. Only by stirring up more doubt can we possibly get her spot revoked.

Add another angle. Get the netizens to speculate about the *Interstellar Composer* program.

Just ask why an up-and-coming composer was able to snatch a spot from so many composers who’ve been famous for years.

Question whether there was some kind of deal between this female and the upper management of Tianwen Entertainment.

Otherwise, why would Tianwen Entertainment be willing to spend so much effort promoting her."

As fellow Federation people, they should have been presenting a united front against outsiders.

But Gao Hui, the head of Four Seas Entertainment’s composition department, couldn’t accept the risk of being crushed underfoot by Tianwen Entertainment in the future.

’What does the Federation’s honor have to do with him? He wanted honor for Four Seas’s composition department.’

’So if anyone’s to blame, it’s that little female named Jiang Qin for picking the wrong side.’

’Who told her to compete for Tianwen Entertainment?’

Soon, various well-known influencers began posting long-form film reviews one after another:

> I won’t deny that this movie is very novel. The cultural depth is impressive, and the costume design and actors are all fine.

> But I have some doubts about the director.

> Because I suspect that *Mutual Affection* is a film Tianwen Entertainment produced specifically to forcefully promote a certain someone.

> The goal, of course, is the new song chart.

> Doesn’t this whole operation feel a bit familiar to everyone?

> At the end of last month, this same female was also a trending topic. Then, riding that wave of hype, her song shot up from third place to number one.

> This month, what a coincidence, right when the chart is about to be finalized at the end of the month, she suddenly has her name on a pretty good movie.

> And Tianwen Entertainment’s shadow is all over it.

> Let me take a guess. For the next ten months, this female will probably become a trending topic for some reason or another at the end of every month.

> Then she’ll take number one on the charts for twelve straight months and successfully become a god-tier composer.

> And after that, she’ll officially join Tianwen Entertainment, right?

> Oh, right. I also heard this little female has quite a bit of pull. Next month, she’ll be representing Tianwen Entertainment in the Empire to compete on the *Interstellar Composer* show.

> Tell me, how exactly did a newcomer who’s only been around for two months manage to push aside so many excellent composers?

> I hear the head of the composition department, Lan Yuyan, is very close to her~

> Sigh, I really hate myself. Why was I born a male? It would be so much better if I were a female.

> No matter what I wanted, someone would just hand it to me.

> But as a male, I can only rely on myself to fight for what I want, and even after I get it, there’s still the risk that it can all be taken away by a single word from a female.

Though it was called a film review, it only mentioned *Mutual Affection* in a few sentences.

The rest was just insidious muttering, pinning a conspiracy theory on Jiang Qin.

It even deliberately stoked conflict between males and females, trying to incite males to attack Jiang Qin.

After all, conflict between males and females has existed since ancient times.

Because true equality could never be achieved.

In the past, males held the high positions. Now that their status has been reversed, they’ve suffered a lot of unfair treatment. They don’t dare to resist, so they can only bury their resentment deep inside.

Many males had experienced situations just like that—having an opportunity snatched away by a single word from a female.

So now, everyone was imagining a scenario: because Jiang Qin was a female, Tianwen Entertainment, which should have sent a higher-level composer to the competition, showed her favoritism.

And the male who lost that opportunity? No one cared about him!

It was heartbreaking just to think about. Decades of their hard work couldn’t compare to a single sentence: "That female wants it!"

So, the males were triggered.

They all started demanding that Tianwen Entertainment select its representative fairly and justly, instead of trying to curry favor with a female at the expense of the Federation’s honor!

They also questioned whether *Mutual Affection* was truly Jiang Qin’s work, or if there was another creator who had been forced to contribute for the sake of a female.
