In Modu, inside an apartment!

Li Xiaoyun was thoroughly enjoying all the negative comments about Zhao Qinyin online. She thought her rival was still too green.

After so many years in the industry, Li Xiaoyun had gotten into online flame wars with her rivals whenever she released a book. She knew just how powerful public opinion could be. A work's success was often closely tied to it.
