Unlike the good reputation of "The Devil Doctor", "Love in Paris" starring the little wife of a European aristocrat was criticized by the whole network.
Such posts appeared on large anonymous forums.
"My titanium eyes are blinded. I'm in love with Paris. There's a limit to my nonsense."
lz: The dog is blind
My god, have you seen Morning Star's first recommendation this year? That's outrageous, saying her husband is a domestic brand aristocrat who only drinks a certain brand of tea and spits it out after mixing it with a little bit of other tea leaves.
The most incomprehensible thing is that there is a passage that says that she and the prince went to meet the royal family, but she became jealous. The prince abandoned the princess and ran to explain to her, saying that the princess was wishful thinking and she was the only one in his heart!
There is a limit to editing.

This resonated with many netizens, and they all complained about the outrageous plots in the book. Even the content about local customs and practices was explained by local people, who said they had "never heard of it before."
#Noblehusband# has become a meme.
"My aristocratic husband said that cola must be a 1:1 ratio of Pepsi and Coca-Cola. The first time I got it wrong, he said to me in Mandarin with a provincial dialect, Darling, you should learn the aristocratic lifestyle."
And so on.
Once the topic becomes popular, it will attract revelations from those who like to meddle in it.
An international student nicknamed "Shuangjing" said: "Do you really think that so-and-so's husband is a noble? Which noble family can tolerate his wife coming out to publicly fuck up the character? It's all acting. The noble titles of this country are publicly traceable. There is no noble with this surname, but there is someone who donates money and looks very similar."
This statement was recognized by many people, but the fans firmly defended it and the fight between them was fierce.
However, not long after, the anonymous person posted a photo, which was an old photo of the aristocratic husband. He had a very ordinary appearance, very ordinary clothes, and the car he drove was even more ordinary.
This is not at all consistent with the so-called "aristocratic education" character setting.
The crowd was shocked.
Character is something that takes a long time to build, but can collapse in just one night.
Originally there were aristocratic fans who argued and defended them, but what they worshipped was just the skin of "aristocracy".
The noble husband is no longer a noble, but just an ordinary man.
Who would be patient enough to cheer for him? So they scattered like birds and beasts, and some even escaped and returned.
"My noble husband is really ugly, except for his white skin."
A high-definition photo of the scene is attached.
The reputation has been falling again and again, falling through the earth's core.
"Love in Paris" is not selling well, and the rating on Bookworm.com is dropping every day. All the ratings are one-star, and there are so many bad reviews that even internet trolls can't raise them.
What happened to Devil 1 in the past is repeated here.
President Tao was so angry that he jumped up and down. After Xia Xing was imprisoned, Chenxing lost a great general. He had put a lot of effort into promoting such a newcomer, but it ended up like this.
"Boss Kang, you are so cruel." Boss Tao muttered, "Wait for me here."
He walked around the office twice, knowing that he couldn't just sit there and wait for death. The best defense was to attack. The Golden Crow was coming with great force to avenge the demon, so he had to aim for its weak spot.
"Jingjing, I'm sorry again." He felt a little bit reluctant. After all, any man would feel sad when someone attacks a beautiful girl.
But beautiful girls are not as important as money.
So, after the popularity of "Love in Paris" subsided a little, new posts provoking conflict appeared.
"Jinwu fans, don't be too cocky, sales volume does not equal good reputation"
lz: yellow
u1s1, "Devil Doctor" Da Mai is just taking advantage of the upcoming show, and the autograph session is all because of jby, the quality itself is hard to say, book fans should be careful not to break their legs if they exaggerate too much
1l:xxx
Finally someone told the truth. It's so embarrassing that people who don't know would think he won the Nobel Prize.
…
8l: Insider
The data of "Devil Doctor" is too inflated. Jinwu is really spending a lot of money to support Jian Jing. Tsk tsk, does anyone know what her background is? They are so strong in supporting her. Are they not afraid of being ridiculed by the public for not being worthy of the position? I hope she won't commit suicide again.
9l: Susu
Jian Jing is known as the little princess in Jinwu. Without Kang Mucheng, could she become famous
10l:aaa
Just a passerby, what is the meaning of suicide
…
30l: Kou Tian
It seems that everyone still doesn't know. Princess Jane is very fragile. Devil 1 was scolded and committed suicide at home. Later, the news was suppressed. You just don't know.

Morning Star’s counterattack was neither quick nor vicious, but this time, before Jinwu’s navy arrived, the fans took action first.

What's wrong with male celebrities? If you have money, you can hire them. Pink eye disease needs to be treated (fuck)
61l: Abandon
The star came here voluntarily, okay? I was caught queuing up secretly, and ended up stealing your attention. Sorry, it's Morning Star's fault, Koko.
72l: Night Black Feather
Jingjing is the best! Some people who are jealous are just jealous. Our Jingjing is beautiful and talented, so you can envy her!
83l: Ruoyue
Apart from anything else, the author is so beautiful, much better than the one next door, and she is also better in terms of appearance
…
Unlike the troll army's small accounts, the accounts that posted this time are all active ones, and it is easy to tell which ones are real and which ones are fake.

Then, this question appeared in a question-and-answer forum.
Asked by: Naoka
Jian Jing's new book "Devil Doctor 2" was sold out across the entire network within ten days of its release. What is her status in the publishing industry
Description of the question: A week ago, someone argued with me that signing 10,000 copies on the spot was a star effect. What do you have to say now
The most popular answers are like this↓
Eating First: Let me put it this way, I saw everyone else watching Devil May Cry 2, and then I wanted to buy it, but it was out of stock...
The Elf in the Castle: As someone who never reads novels, this is the first time I want to buy a novel, but it’s sold out
…
There were also guys who asked questions deliberately and it was unclear whether they were real passers-by or fake passers-by.
Anonymous: Jian Jing's "Demon 1" was ridiculed by many people when it came out, but "Demon 2" was so popular. Can anyone tell me what happened? Is the difference between the two books so big
Lanlan: A few words from a former practitioner
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that from the bad reviews of Devil 1 to the huge success of Devil 2, Morningstar’s shadow is always behind it.
When I was reading Devil 1, I happened to come across Xia Xing's book. In order to support the little queen, Chen Xing hired some internet trolls to discredit Jian Jing, saying all the ugly things she could and even spreading rumors that she committed suicide. It can be said that his methods were quite shameful.
This time, Jinwu learned a lesson and used the opponent's strength to defeat him. It was a precise harvest. Beautiful! It should have been over here, but Chenxing tasted the sweetness of the water army last time and wanted to repeat the same trick after the failure of "Love in Paris". Please, the last time it succeeded was because the mother and son of the Kang family were not in the country. It's a miracle that it can succeed again this time.
Now, the reporter they hired sent the other side a positive press release for nothing, and also took the opportunity to wash away the dirty water thrown at them last time. A former industry insider would like to advise Morning Star that those who only know how to do publicity and criticize others will not get far in the publishing industry.

Although we don't know whether this insider is genuine or not, this is undoubtedly an excellent means of public opinion.
Through this question and answer, not only those who criticized Devil 1 were labeled as Morning Star's water army, but also the "suicide" of Jian Jing was explained.
From now on, if someone brings up suicide again, everyone's first reaction will be "Isn't that just dirty water thrown by the enemy?", paving the way for Jian Jing's future.
Mr. Tao pulled out everyone's hair for several days and used all the means he could. We are all doing business in the same circle, we can't just strip everyone of their underwear.
He took the initiative to call Kang Mucheng and admitted defeat: "Boss Kang, I lose this time. You are so ruthless. You have been preparing for half a year, right? There was a rumor that you were going to sign with Paris. It seems that you also deceived me. Tsk, I was fooled by you!"
In fact, he was not so optimistic about the book "Falling in Love with Paris" at first, but someone said that Kang Mucheng seemed to be in contact with the other party, so he made up his mind to sign it and make it the first recommendation of the new year.
In other words, Mr. Tao really believed in Kang Mucheng's vision.
Unfortunately, he didn't expect that this was a trap.
It is not so easy to find the revealing photos of the noble husband. Mr. Tao is not stupid enough to think that he discovered it by accident. Jinwu must have sent people to dig it up long ago and they are waiting for him here.
"Please give others a way out. I've stopped, so please show some mercy too." Mr. Tao was shameless and had no psychological barriers to admitting defeat and begging for mercy. He spoke very smoothly.
Kang Mucheng: "Did you show mercy at the beginning?"
"Oh, look how angry you are. Those who stepped on Jingjing weren't all my people." Mr. Tao laughed. "It's all in the past now."
Kang Mucheng said coldly: "Stop just like you said. Are you awake?"
President Tao sighed, knowing that the situation could not end amicably, and continued to make peace: "Empty words are not enough. I know you don't believe me, but I'm telling you the truth, President Kang, I don't have the heart to do anything to Jingjing. Alas, in fact, I have always disagreed, but you also know that I don't have the final say on Chenxing."
Kang Mucheng: I don’t believe you.
"How about this, I swear that I will never use Jingjing as an excuse again, okay?" Mr. Tao said straightforwardly, "I have many faults, but my credit is always good."
He didn't lie, Mr. Tao's reputation in the industry was not bad. Kang Mucheng also knew that the two publishing houses could not really tear each other apart, which would only allow other companies to take advantage.
Having vented your anger to this extent, it's time to stop.
But he still wanted to warn the other party: "If you use Jingjing to make trouble again, you won't get away with it so easily."
"I promise." Mr. Tao swore.
Kang Mucheng then hung up the phone.
Mr. Tao put down his phone, rubbed his face, and couldn't help but sigh. He didn't lie, but his conscience was concerned, and there was only one reason why he stopped dealing with Jian Jing.
The momentum cannot be stopped.
I'm afraid those little tricks won't work anymore.
After New Year's Day, Jian Jing never went online to read reviews again, and only looked at sales figures.
Therefore, she knew nothing about the bloody storm on the Internet, nor did she know the game behind Morning Star and Golden Crow. Her psychological journey was quite simple.
From 1st to 3rd, I was worried that the products wouldn't sell well and I doubted whether I was as talented as the other me.
From the 3rd to the 5th, sales were good and stable. I started eating and drinking in a good mood and preparing for the winter vacation trip.
What happened on 6-10? Where was I? What happened
As far as she could remember, she had never encountered a situation where her new books were out of stock.
The publishing industry in another world has long been a sunset industry, and writers who can sell hundreds of thousands of physical books are already among the top writers.
But if she remembered correctly, Kang Mucheng had specifically given her a heads-up, saying that the first print run would only be 500,000, so she wouldn't feel too stressed and wouldn't lose money if she couldn't sell it.
Now all 500,000 in stock are sold out
Kang Mucheng: "It's 800,000."
According to his original idea, he would have to prepare 1 million for the first print, but considering that he didn't want to put too much pressure on her, he cut it in half.
On the morning of the 3rd, he saw good signs online, so he quickly asked the printing factory to continue working, and thus filled the gap of 300,000.
However, as word of mouth spread, the newly replenished stock was sold out, and an emergency pre-sale notice was opened. In a short time, 70,000 to 80,000 people paid deposits.
Jian Jing: “…” She lost the ability to speak because she was so shocked.
Kang Mucheng did not mention the challenge in the past few days, but just said: "I am relieved."
The sales of White Cat Detective were 780,000, which was impressive for a newcomer, but its target audience was only teenagers, so it was destined to be difficult to cross the one million mark. The sales of Hide and Seek were 500,000, and because the movie was reprinted some time ago, the sales were only 200,000.
One million is a hurdle.
Only when sales exceed one million can you call yourself a best-selling author.
After five years of studying, Jian Jing finally crossed this difficult threshold. From now on, her worth will be different.
Sure enough, twenty days after its release, the sales of "Devil Doctor 2" exceeded one million.
