Chapter 49: Trending Again
After the final makeup session, Wu Lei asked An Wen, "What do you think of this look?"
"It should be good. Their hands were steady, and the application was smooth," An Wen replied.
"I’m telling you, this makeup is a success. After eight episodes, they’ve improved so much," Wu Lei said.
He handed her a mirror, and after examining herself for a moment, An Wen nodded. "Not bad."
"It really is good. The makeup is soft and pink, perfectly matching your outfit—like a summer beauty," Wu Lei remarked.
An Wen glanced at the mirror again and agreed, "It’s quite nice."
Wu Lei then asked, "Which part of today’s makeup do you think was done the best?"
An Wen smiled. "All of it was good."
"Now comes the most important moment of the day—who is the most heart-fluttering prince in An Wen’s eyes?" Wu Lei teased dramatically.
Holding the Heartbeat Medal, An Wen asked, "Do I just walk over and give it to him?"
"Yes. Usually, there’s some campaigning at this point, but today I’m dying to know who you’ll pick," Wu Lei said through gritted teeth.
An Wen walked up to Li Yuebin and handed him the medal.
Wu Lei pressed, "Can you tell us why?"
"His hands were steady while applying makeup, not a single shake. Plus, the way he spoke was straight out of an idol drama," An Wen explained.
Li Yuebin joked, "Are you picking a makeup artist here?"
The room erupted in laughter.
Afterward, they headed to the touch-up room for final adjustments before the look was finalized for the episode.
By the time filming wrapped, it was already 9 p.m., and An Wen returned to the hotel with Song Jia and Jiang Shiyu.
"An Wen, you’re trending again," Jiang Shiyu said, handing her the phone.
The topic [An Wen’s Plastic Surgery] had climbed to second place on the Hot Search.
Despite having no major works released yet, An Wen’s popularity on Weibo and forums rivaled that of established stars. Opinions about her were polarized, but her fans defended her fiercely, and she frequently trended—a phenomenon unheard of in the Entertainment Industry.
A few days prior, the incident sparked by Lu Man'er had ultimately cleared An Wen’s name. Since then, Lu Man'er had been mocked by anti-fans and rival supporters on forums, and now she seemed to be taking her frustration out on An Wen again.
An Wen’s eyes turned cold as she held the phone. If I don’t show my claws, you’ll keep treating me like a pushover. You think you can stomp on me once and come back for more?
After their crushing defeat last time, the Guardian Army had grown rapidly under Jiang Yiwen’s leadership. She had organized specialized accounts for control, data, anti-black efforts, and reporting.
The fan group had also undergone a purge, leaving only the most dedicated supporters.
As soon as the Hot Search topic appeared, the Guardian Army Control Account posted links directing fans to flood promotional posts with positive comments. The Reporting Account called for mass reporting of negative remarks and anti-fan content.
Jiang Yiwen instructed fans to create original posts to counter the trend, and some even made comparison images between the black pictures and the originals.
Though the opposing trolls tried to steer the narrative, the Guardian Army fought back fiercely. While the impact wasn’t massive, it was a far cry from their previous defeat.

Under this post, the Guardian Army rallied with supportive comments.
Looking back at the path traveled, she smiled calmly.
The Guardian Army has seen it all before.
"An Wen, the Guardian Army grows with you."
"Through tempering, steel is forged. Your Sister Wen is young and beautiful—she can outlast those old hags."
