Meanwhile, Zhao Youyue sneaked into the QQ fangroup, this time, she did not tip a Sect Master. After joining the group, she posted a photo of her manga booklet’s receipt to prove herself as a genuine reader. This could prevent her from being expelled from the group. Pirated readers should hide themselves in a secretive way as they would never have the chance to interact with the author.

However, with only the status of a normal genuine reader, it was as if she was invisible in the group. If she had joined the fan group with a Sect Master status, it would totally be a different story. There would be comments such as “I want to hug the tycoon’s thigh” or “please let me become the tycoon’s pendant”, although most of these will merely be jokes.

Zhao Youyue was in luck, just when she joined the group, she found the mangaka Su Li trash talking with the others. Wait, it should be referred as collecting opinions from the readers in an extensive way…

She went through the QQ info of Su Li, and as expected the gender was male, aged 28. Then, she went through the Qzone of Su Li and took a glance at the log and found that most of them were written in a male style of speaking. Furthermore, his photo album was filled with Moe anime photos. Thus, all of these pointed Su Li to the direction as a male mangaka, the type that she thought of as a filthy Otaku mangaka.

One thing that Zhao Youyue did not know was that Su Li was a very tricky person. The QQ account she was using was actually an abandoned account of her elder brother which she conveniently took over. The ID she used in signing contract for the magazines actually belonged to her brother too. Besides, her actual age was not even 28, and she was merely 23. After all, it had only been a few months since she graduated from varsity.

Why would she do that?

Of course, for such a harem manga, she felt easier to blend into the male readers by using the identity of a male mangaka. This also enabled them to raise their comments more daringly. After all, there would be erotic scenes in a harem manga and it needed to be a little naughty. Hence, nothing good would come if the male readers were to scruple the fact of her being a female mangaka and were too constrained to let out more constructive suggestions.

Sometimes the QQ personal information or even Qzone information can be pretty deceiving. Well, at least Zhao Youyue took the bait and came up with a decision to make news out of it. She hated anyone who treated women as goods.

The fans in the group were discussing about the contents of the latest chapter –

“Master Su’s drawing techniques had improved a lot, “Xu Jing” was totally brought to life now!”

“After this chapter, “Xu Jing” is gonna heat up! More readers will pay attention on her along with “Pure Romance”. As a loyal fan of “Pure Romance”, I am really proud of it!”

“I think Master Su abused “Xu Jing” too heavily. After reading the last few pages, my heart felt really sore. How I wished to enter the world of manga and save her from that.”

“Is it only me who doesn’t want “Xu Jing” to be taken by the male protagonist? It somehow feels like he does not deserve the goddess Xu Jing at all…”

“You are not alone!”

“I too admit that the male protagonist does not deserve Xu Jing, but I still can’t imagine her falling into other guy’s hands. If so, I will surely give up this manga.”

“Duh, when did this group started discussing the storyline so seriously? I was just looking for information, aren’t there any doujin manga on “Xu Jing” online?”
