Chapter 35: The Most Ridiculous Fans in History

The group owner was the Official An Wen Fan Support Club Weibo account, with no administrators. Jiang Yiwen changed the group announcement to: "Post original Weibo posts to dominate the trending topics and promote An Wen!"

Then, the An Wen Fan Support Club shared several stunning photos in the group, sparking a flood of messages.

[Oh my god, she’s so beautiful! Where did these pictures come from?]

[She’s a fairy!]

[A beauty like her belongs in the heavens, rarely seen in the mortal world.]

...

Fans in the group quickly took the photos and posted original Weibo posts to promote An Wen.

The Official An Wen Fan Support Club Weibo account was already verified with a blue V, making it easier to trend. Jiang Yiwen posted:

[Official An Wen Fan Support Club Weibo: #An Wen# #An Wen’s Style# #An Wen Qing Sha# Completely captivated by Sister An Wen’s Era of Beauty! Welcome everyone to join the An Wen Army!

Official An Wen Fan Group

An Wen Army

Era of Beauty

Charge! Beauty!

The fanbase name for An Wen will be chosen from these four groups. Those interested, join now!]

Attached were nine candid photos Jiang Yiwen had taken—a long-haired girl in a white dress, a girl in a school uniform walking down the street...

As soon as this Weibo post was shared in the group, it was wildly liked, commented on, and reposted, with fans gushing over her looks. Within minutes, the reposts, likes, and comments surpassed hundreds, landing it on the trending list.

The comments section was flooded with fanbase name suggestions.

[How about Mosquito Coil? Safe and non-toxic, caring and protective.]

This comment sparked a wave of replies:

[Hahahaha, are you advertising here?]

[Highly effective, non-toxic, and odorless—life is full of flavor!]

[A mother’s love is everywhere.]

[New technology, new choice, new experience.]

[I’m gonna die laughing at An Wen’s fans—free advertising for Mosquito Coil on the trending list!]

...

[What about Angel? We’re all angels protecting An Wen.]

The official account personally replied: [What kind of grown man calls himself Angel? Rejected.]

Replies followed:

[So the admin really is a dude.]

[As a male fan, I also reject this!]

[Rejecting with my life.]

...

[Condom.]

Replies:

[I’ll knock you out, believe me?]

[Too scared to speak, silently upvoting you.]

[Charge!]

...

This chaotic nomination scene attracted netizens, who joined in with their own suggestions. Some remarked:

[This is unprecedented. I’ve seen celebrities promoted on trending topics, but never fan groups and fanbase name nominations.]

[What kind of ridiculous fanbase names are these? I’m laughing to tears.]

Others simply gushed over An Wen’s photos:

[She’s so beautiful—I’m totally becoming a fan.]

As a result, a flood of ridiculous netizens from the trending list joined the group, filling up all four thousand-member groups. Jiang Yiwen had no choice but to open four more groups.

The chat was lively, with hundreds of messages pouring in every minute despite it being past midnight.

Other fan groups found them either hilarious or cringeworthy for pulling fans from the trending list.

Regardless of others’ opinions, Jiang Yiwen, new to the fandom scene, did things entirely his way.

The fanbase name had to be decided through collective brainstorming, with the minority submitting to the majority!

At 1 a.m., Jiang Yiwen reposted a Weibo in all the groups:

[Official An Wen Fan Support Club Weibo: #An Wen# Fanbase name nomination post. Deadline at 2:00 a.m. The top five most-liked comments will advance to the next round.]

Because many onlookers came from the trending topics, this Weibo post surpassed thousands of likes, comments, and retweets within minutes, reaching over 50,000 views. The eight fan groups were filled with humorous and chaotic discussions, with fans proposing various names and even campaigning for votes. After thirty minutes, five potential fanbase names emerged as frontrunners.
