Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Jin Nian took a look but did not reply. She felt relieved. She could not remember what time she fell asleep, but she knew that she did not sleep well that night. She dreamt about how she had fallen out with Jiang Qingchi in the hotel in front of all the relatives, and then announced the annulment of the engagement. She also dreamed of holding a wedding with Lu An. She even dreamed of going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to divorce Lu An. In the end, everyone blamed her and scolded her in disappointment: “Do you think marriage is child’s play?”
Jin Nian wanted to leave the encirclement, but she was pulled back by Lu An. He held her tightly in his arms and lowered his head to take her breath, making it difficult for her to breathe.
Before she could scold him, the scene suddenly changed. Lu An’s extremely noble mother was wearing an ancient robe and giving Jin Nian a cup of poisoned wine. At this moment, all the relatives had become palace maids. They grabbed Jin Nian tightly and forced her to swallow the poisoned wine.
Jin Nian saw the old lady on the Bridge of Helplessness, waiting for her with a bowl of steaming soup. She did not want to drink it and turned around to run. She ran and ran, but she could not find the exit.
What kind of strange dream was this! She was exhausted!
The sun slowly rose outside, and Jin Nian slowly woke up from her dream. Like other young people, the first thing Jin Nian did when she opened her eyes was to reach under her pillow for her phone. Jin Nian’s eyes were half-closed as she unlocked her phone.
On the screen, there was a trending post on Weibo. Jin Nian suddenly saw a familiar name. She opened her eyes to take a closer look, tfjiang Qingchi’s plagiarism was confirmed, # Summer Story plagiarism.
The Weibo system almost collapsed. Five of the top ten trending searches were about Jiang Qingchi. Last night, someone revealed that the evidence was conclusive. Jiang Qingchi’s plagiarism had become a definite fact. Fans rushed to his Weibo to question him, and the industry also set off a huge uproar.
Jin Nian completely lost her sleepiness and felt like it was a lifetime ago.
The sun lifted the dark curtain of the night. The rain that fell on the city had evaporated, and the nightmares of last night have disappeared. It was a new day. Everything that happened dozens of days ago felt like a past life, let alone a distant memory in her mind.
Jin Nian had loved painting since she was young, but her talent was average. Her dream of becoming an artist when she was young had become an unreachable existence after she grew up. That was why she was obsessed with Jiang Qingchi’s painting skills, and even more so with the creativity in his mind. Because of this, she could even ignore many of his shortcomings as a boyfriend.
After six years of being in love, Jin Nian could not tell whether her feelings for Jiang Qingchi were love, friendship, or just admiration that blinded her. In the past two years, the relationship between the two of them had faded over time. However, as soon as Jin Nian saw Jiang Qingchi’s works, she was fired up and fell in love with him again.
When Jiang Qingchi first started writing Summer Monogatari, he could not sleep or eat for days because he did not have any inspiration. Then, he suddenly changed into a different person and told Jin Nian that he had an inspiration. The next day, Jin Nian saw Jiang Qingchi’s work. The scene was beautiful. She was sure that this work would be a blockbuster. Jin Nian was once again convinced by his talent.
Jiang Qingchi had spent a total of five years from the preparation to the completion of this animated film. He had put all his savings and energy into this cartoon. If the cartoon did not cause any ripples once it was released, Jiang Qingchi’s hard work over the years would all go down the drain.
He had a mental breakdown before, but Jin Nian had always supported him silently, believing that he would succeed. On the day of the movie premiere, Jiang Qingchi, a grown man, hugged her and cried, saying that his years of hard work had not been in vain.
When everyone thought that Jiang Qingchi could not do it, Jin Nian was the only one who believed that he could do it. She encouraged and supported him. She hoped that he would not give up on his dream so easily. Jin Nian understood that the creator was going through a tough time, but she also understood that what he needed the most now was firm support.
Just as she had expected, once the movie was released, it instantly became a dark horse in the summer. The production team did not have enough funds, so the nctizens who had seen it all spontaneously wrote reviews for Summer Monogatari online and promoted it. To date, the box office had already reached a total of two billion yuan, and they had even won the grand prize in one fell swoop. However, if all of this was based on plagiarism, then what exactly was Jin Nian and his fans supporting and worshipping?
The night had completely passed, and the sky was bright. Jin Nian turned off her phone and got out of bed..
