Chapter 269: I Copied You Because I Respect You
Chapter 269: I Copied You Because I Respect You
Qiqi Who Wants To Become Mrs. Luo (verified): F*ck, this is the first time I’ve met such a shameless person? It’s bad enough that she plagiarized my friend, she’s even picking on her because she has a lot of fans. The culprit is acting like the victim! What kind of logic is this? Do you think you’re acting reasonably just because you’re popular? Do you think you’re respecting Shuihan by copying her? F*ck your mom!
Hmmm...
Even her tone was very similar.
Song Yaoyao clicked into Qiqi’s Weibo and confirmed that it was definitely Meng Qiqi.
This was because she had posted up a screenshot of a voice message and added the caption, “Hehe, I’m so happy~ Today was my luckiest day. What happened? I won’t tell you! [smug]”
This post sounded pleasant, but her Weibo was a mess.
Meng Qiqi was being torn to shreds.
“Your mouth is so dirty. Did you grow up eating sh*t?”
“A rumor-monger deserves to die! If you have evidence, then show it!”
“Plagiarized? Haha, as a major influencer, our Ruoruo has no interest in your friend’s lousy book!”
“You’re just trying to leech off her popularity because she sold the copyright to her book and it’s being made into a drama! Haha, keep whining over there. A nobody like you won’t be able to do anything.”
“Keep acting arrogant. Wait ’til I skin you alive!”
“Girls, stop giving this idiot attention! She’s just jealous of our Ruoruo. If she’s so good, why doesn’t she try to sell her copyright? Bleh!”
But Meng Qiqi replied to each comment without fear.
“Are you blind? Can’t you see?”
“Is this the standard of our major influencers? Shuihan’s book has already been out for 10 years. How long has her book been around? Isn’t it obvious who copied who?”
“Come on! Come skin me alive! I didn’t do anything wrong, so I’m not afraid!”
She was like an old eagle who was protecting its child even though its neck was being strangled. Every word expressed her fury,
Book? Copyright?
With nothing better to do, Song Yaoyao went to the website they were talking about and searched for the two books they mentioned.
Ruo Lan’s book was called, ‘Her Highness is Abusive’. It was a book about a female protagonist who tried to commit suicide but was reborn. She gives up on love, becomes a concubine, and destroys everyone in her way. In the end, the emperor dismisses the harem and they live happily ever after.
In recent years, tropes like this were very popular.
The other book was written by Yun Shuihan. Song Yaoyao took particular notice of the date that it was released. It had indeed been a long time: 10 years ago.
The synopsis and the name used an ancient, literary style.
‘Palace Walls’
[Liu Yan, the daughter of a concubine, was neglected from a young age. Everyone bullied her, stepped all over her, and insulted her. Her mother even died right in front of her eyes.
What was she to do?
Liu Yan: I will to rise to the top. I will make all those who bullied and insulted me kneel at my knees in fear and do my bidding!
But what if she had to give up on everything? Wouldn’t she regret it?
No!]
The synopsis was very engaging; even Song Yaoyao, who barely read, was interested. She read through a few chapters. The author had good writing skills and every sentence was eloquently executed in an ancient style. Even now, it would be considered as a high-quality piece.
In addition, the protagonist was born with a rebellious and ambitious heart, giving her the determination to keep moving forward.
In her eyes, there was no such thing as love; all she cared about was her mother.
In the novel, the emperor treated her differently, but not to the extent where he dismissed the harem for her. It was very logical. Also, the protagonist moved up in the palace and used every person by her side to achieve it.
In just a few short chapters, the first climactic scene already got Song Yaoyao cheering.
