"Legend of An Hua" is a historical drama with well-known lead actors, produced by An Sheng Entertainment at a huge cost.

Unlike Yao Bianliang's "Spring's Warmth and Rich Dew," this drama hasn't been released yet but has already begun extensive marketing efforts.

Some influencers have posted expressing their anticipation, while fan accounts and fans have been spreading promotional content. Some beautiful and captivating clips have been released, and the pre-release promotion is in full swing.

Yao Bianliang quickly found relevant information about this drama online.

【"Legend of An Hua," directed by Director Han, starring Wen Xuan, He Yang, and Zhang Jingwen, with a special appearance by Wan Li Xuan, is a historical drama.】magic

"Wen Xuan is the lead actress of this drama?" Yao Bianliang found this name somewhat familiar. After pondering for a while, she finally recalled who the person was.

While filming Yao Xinxin's medical-themed short drama, An Sheng Entertainment seemed to have sent a few well-known actors, one of whom was Wen Xuan.

Never did she expect that they would cross paths once again.

"It seems like this sister and I have quite a fate," Yao Bianliang couldn't help but feel quite emotional.

As a senior in the entertainment industry, Wen Xuan produced some impressive works early in her career and even won a Golden Horse Award for her outstanding supporting roles.

Although her recent performances had somewhat declined, it had to be acknowledged that her fame and skill were still top-tier in the entertainment industry.

With her taking on the role in "Legend of An Hua," as long as the script wasn't lacking, there was no way it would fail.

If the production team was willing to put in some effort in promotion, this drama could secure a place among this year's hit shows.

With these thoughts in mind, a smile tugged at the corner of Yao Bianliang's lips as she clicked on the synopsis of "Legend of An Hua."

【Legend of An Hua】

【The drama tells the story of An Hua, a princess of a fictional ancient dynasty, the Xuan Dynasty. After her kingdom falls, she becomes a court courtesan. She endures humiliation and navigates between various princes and nobles.

In the process, she forms deep bonds with other courtesan sisters and also gets to know the Thirteenth Prince He Xin, Fifth Prince He Cheng, Seventh Prince He Hua, and the Young Master of the Duke family, Cheng Yang. With her independence and resilience, she relies on her wit and charm, winning the hearts of many.

In a turbulent era, An Hua maneuvers between different princes and aristocrats, carefully plotting and ultimately avenging deep-seated grudges. She helps the Thirteenth Prince ascend the throne, becoming the only empress with a background as a courtesan in the history of the Xuan Dynasty. Together with her husband, they govern the country.】

Yao Bianliang quickly grasped the general plot of this drama after a brief read.

The female lead, a princess of a fallen kingdom turned courtesan, is the model Mary Sue protagonist!

She is so stunningly beautiful and independent, unlike the ordinary courtesans of the brothel or the refined ladies of noble households.

Thus, she's adored by everyone, blooming like a flower. Be it the emperor or the princes, the generals or the young masters, they all fall at her feet beneath her pomegranate skirt.

In the end, the female lead, with her effort—no, with the efforts of surrounding men—successfully achieves revenge and lives happily ever after with the male lead.

"This plot truly caters to the current market." Yao Bianliang's eyes gleamed slightly.It has the excitement and sweetness just right.

Based on these plot elements, this drama could easily be retitled as "The Years I Conquered the Empire from the Brothel," "Every Prince Competes to Cherish Me," "Rising from the Ash with My Beauty," or "The Cheat Route from Courtesan to Empress."

It's bound to captivate the hearts of a vast audience.

On the other hand, looking at "Spring's Warmth and Rich Dew," this drama is truly a mix of all the negative traits.

Both are courtesans, yet handsome and refined suitors pursue the female lead on the other side, while Yao Bianliang's female lead's suitors are all uncouth and repulsive.

Their male lead is brave and resourceful, deeply affectionate and loyal. Yao Bianliang's male lead is a brute in gentleman's clothing, a scoundrel.

The other drama's plot is full of ups and downs, seamlessly intertwining twists, revenge, and displays of affection. Yao Bianliang's plot thrives on oppression, with the female lead either being bullied or on the path to being bullied.

And as for the endings, they're as different as night and day.

The other drama's female lead becomes an empress, ruling the country alongside her husband. Yao Bianliang's female lead is given as a concubine to a neighboring lord by the male lead and meets a tragic ending.

The comparison is genuinely staggering, leaving Yao Bianliang speechless.

No matter from which angle she looks, her drama is undoubtedly being outperformed by the rival side!

If both dramas air simultaneously, only someone with a twisted mind would forsake a captivating show like "Legend of An Hua" to watch Yao Bianliang's "Spring's Warmth and Rich Dew."

"Mr. Mo, when is 'Legend of An Hua' scheduled to air?" Yao Bianliang asked.

Mo Yougan: "They say it's premiering on the 12th of July. Why are you asking this?"

Yao Bianliang's lips curled slightly. "July 12th, huh... How about we release our drama on July 13th? What do you think?"

The 13th, just one day after the "Legend of An Hua premiere."

This way, with the brilliance of "Legend of An Hua" preceding them, their drama would naturally appear dull and lackluster.

Mo Yougan pondered for a moment. "Clashing with 'Legend of An Hua'? That's a good plan."

Yao Bianliang's strategy was crystal clear – find a formidable competitor.

Looking at all the TV dramas in the summer lineup, "Legend of An Hua" matched their theme perfectly and had a star-studded cast, making it undoubtedly the best choice.

"Alright, I'll have someone arrange it," Mo Yougan happily agreed to the proposal.

After a pause, he added, "I'm already preparing to submit for review. Do you have any specific requirements for the synopsis and promotional posters of this drama?"

Their production wouldn't undertake any publicity efforts.

So, before the audience watches the drama, they can only get an understanding through the synopsis and promotional posters.A well-crafted synopsis and eye-catching cover can easily attract viewers.

Yao Bianliang certainly understood the importance of this. After contemplating for a moment, she spoke slowly, "I think the synopsis and cover for 'Spring's Warmth and Rich Dew' should follow the style of other historical romance dramas. There's no need to be overly unique."

If this system task is similar to the last one, requiring a certain number of views, Yao Bianliang would suggest changing the drama's title, and altering the posters and cover to make them unappealing at first glance.

However, now, the system demands negative comments. The situation is entirely different.

What's the best way to get negative comments? Well, it's to advertise one thing and deliver another.

Hence, the drama's title doesn't need to change – "Spring's Warmth and Rich Dew" already sounds like a fitting historical romance drama.

As for the cover, it should naturally feature a romantic shot of the male and female leads gazing at each other while holding hands. In short, it should be no different from other historical romance dramas.

Finally, there's the synopsis issue.

After thinking for a while, Yao Bianliang and Mo Yougan settled on the content of the synopsis together – "A tale of love between a courtesan and an imperial prince."

This is the result of Yao Bianliang's careful consideration.

If the synopsis is too outrageously false, it would be considered deceptive advertising, something the system would not approve.

If it's too accurate, it might attract viewers to some extent, but at the same time, it would be challenging to garner many negative comments.

So, the current degree of description can be considered just right.

The female lead is indeed a courtesan, and the male lead is an imperial prince, right?

They indeed have a complicated relationship of love and hate, and the female lead indeed marries into the prince's mansion, right?

Thus, this synopsis is very reasonable, without deceiving the audience whatsoever!

As for whether people, after reading this synopsis, might derive certain associations and misunderstand the drama, that's not her concern.

After all, she's not engaging in false advertising.

System: "..." It feels like the host is constantly teetering on the edge of rule violations.

With aligned goals and mutual understanding, their discussions proceeded smoothly, and they soon finalized all the details.

Every aspect was carefully selected from the TV drama synopsis to the promotional posters and even the release date.

In this way, a TV drama with no selling points, a lackluster cast, a toxic plot, and a promotional plan advertising one thing but delivering another fully took shape.

Just by looking at the plan that the two had discussed, Yao Bianliang could already sense how disastrous this drama's fate would be.

This momentum seemed as if it was begging to have "I'm a trash TV drama, come and criticize me" written on its forehead.

"If this drama can still receive good reviews, then it's truly against all reason." After sorting out everything, Yao Bianliang heaved a sigh of relief. She let herself collapse onto the sofa, feeling light-hearted.

She glanced at the calendar and silently counted the remaining days, and an overwhelming sense of anticipation surged within her.

It's getting closer. After this drama airs, she can complete the system task and finally escape from this predicament!
