Originally, it was an average variety show, but it was turned into a hit thanks to Su Wan. The trend of health and wellness became popular, and the topics were mostly hashtag posts like #FollowWanWanAndLiveWell# with people documenting their daily routines.

After the show ended, Su Xiaoqing decided to create a variety show specifically for Su Wan, still focusing on slow living, but this time it would document only Su Wan’s life.

The show completely changed the way some viewers saw Su Wan.

They firmly refused to believe the past rumors.

How could a woman who could fall asleep by 10 PM, who was calm about everything and never got angry, and who didn’t even have a nightlife, possibly have a bad temper?

Thinking about Su Wan’s poor health, they realized she was making an effort to take care of her body, which deeply moved them.

Especially when the production team celebrated her birthday and asked her wish, she paused for a moment before answering:

“I hope I can live a long life and die of old age.”

That one sentence made many viewers tear up.

After the show aired, Su Wan made a decision on Weibo to donate half of the earnings from the broadcast to children with congenital heart disease for treatment, and she would also continue to track their health over time.

For her, it was just a simple act of kindness, but it resonated deeply with her fans.

Fans voluntarily organized a charity project in her name called “Wan Dou Princess Help Plan.”

Su Wan’s studio was fully involved in the event, and all donations were transparently reported.

Su Wan also donated a large sum of money herself.

While Su Wan was being talked about all over the internet and gaining huge popularity with the public, Su Qin’s dramas were slowly airing, and they intentionally chose to release one on Su Wan’s birthday to ride the wave of her popularity.

The timing of the release on Su Wan’s birthday was planned in advance, but unexpectedly, during the period, Su Qin managed to attract some negative attention because of her self-centered behavior.

Such malicious actions hit the wrong note.

Su Qin’s dramas were released one after another, and her movie was also gearing up for release.

Once the dramas aired, everyone was shocked—the actress who once had charm and grace seemed to show exhaustion in every show.

The later episodes were rushed, with scenes using body doubles or extensive editing, and some of the lip-syncing didn’t match the dialogue.

For good scripts, the lead role was supposed to be charming or fierce, but Su Qin struggled to portray either, leaving her performances feeling flat.

Adapted from books, the fans of the original novels couldn’t watch it.

Fans of the male leads, who were popular newcomers, couldn’t watch it.

Even Su Wan’s fans couldn’t watch it.

After the show aired, the ratings quickly plummeted, and when the movie was released, it was heavily criticized for lacking sincerity and just being a cash grab, leading to widespread calls for a boycott.

What was originally hoped to be a lukewarm production that would break even had instead collapsed in such a way.

Su Qin’s name became associated with “box-office poison,” and she was mocked across the internet.

On a one side Su Wan, with her calm and steady life, was producing quality work, and actively engaging in charity to help others.

On the other side, Su Qin, who appeared greedy and lacked professionalism, was focused on exploiting the industry for money without any artistic integrity.

The contrast between the two was stark.

A major director even took to Weibo to criticize her directly.

“A good artist must have both virtue and skill. And being an idol who loses their integrity is a very dangerous thing because it creates a bad influence on society.”

This criticism was severe, and it nearly crushed Su Qin’s future acting career.

In fact, it really did.

To make matters worse, the profits from the drama couldn’t even cover the initial investment, and Su Ming lost a gambling bet, meaning he had to pay back a large sum of money.
