A lightbulb went off in Elianna’s head. “Go buy me some cold medicine.”
The assistant nodded and asked the driver to pull over, then got out and bought the medicine. When she returned, Elianna took a few photos of the pills and posted them on X with a caption.
Elianna: [Early autumn is freezing! Had to reshoot scenes over and over, got drenched in the rain for ages before the screenwriter finally let me pass. Didn’t keep warm and “accidentally” caught a cold. My lovelies, make sure to layer up as it gets chilly!]
Her active fans immediately liked and commented.
[Why were you getting drenched? I remember your character doesn’t have a rain scene. The only one is with an umbrella, right?]
[Yeah, I just double–checked. There’s no scene where you’re supposed to get soaked. What’s going on? Were you mistreated?]
[Was Sapphire picking on you?]
[I knew that Sapphire wasn’t a good person. She flirted with Mr. Campbell and is now bullying Elianna on set.]
Although the previous trending topic was quickly suppressed by Skylar, she and Yosef never came forward to clarify.
She was worried that if they did, it would just reignite the scandal.
Elianna “accidentally liked a comment suggesting Sapphire was targeting her, then unliked it.
Fans understood the implication immediately.
They rushed to the official Moonlit Hunt account to demand answers.
[Why are you all picking on our Skylar?]
(Sapphire, get your ass out here and apologize to our Skylar right now!]
[You scheming bitch, leave the entertainment industry!]
[Boycott Moonlit Hunt! Boycott Sapphire!]
The social media manager reported the situation to the director, who waved it off. “Negative press is effective. Treat it as free publicity.”
Meanwhile, Elianna poured fuel on the fire. She posted a photo of herself getting an IV drip in the hospital.
Elianna: [No need to worry, everyone. I’m on an IV now. I will recover soon.]
Fans were furious and heartbroken.
[Elianna, how did you get this seriously ill? How could that goddamn Sapphire do this to you?]
(Why hasn’t that witch been kicked out yet? I’m not watching anything she’s in!]
[The official account still hasn’t said anything. So Elianna’s suffering was for nothing?]
The fans, even more incensed, started harassing the official account harder. When that didn’t work, they organized a group to confront the production crew in person.
They flew to the filming location, brought loudspeakers, and blasted recorded insults on loop.
They blocked the entrance, preventing actors from entering.

Filming was disrupted. The director turned to Skylar. “Sapphire, what do you think we should do about this?”
Skylar looked at the banner–waving fans causing a scene outside and replied coldly, “I’ll handle it.”
She called the police directly.
Since the fans hadn’t physically harmed anyone, the police could only disperse them, not forcibly remove them.
The fans were clever. When the police showed up, they left. When the police were gone, they came back.
The crew couldn’t film in peace.

They kept shouting that Skylar should come out and explain herself. Victor, unwilling to see his sister wronged and slandered, came forward online to clarify on her behalf.

Victor: [Regarding a certain actress catching a cold in the rain, it was because she failed several takes, delaying the schedule. Her scene partner had to lie in the rain for a long time.]
[To help her better understand the role, the writer had her switch roles. She kept making mistakes and couldn’t get into character, which is why she ended up soaked.]
O
Elianna’s fans didn’t buy it. They even flooded Victor’s comments with insults.
But Victor’s fans weren’t having it either. The comment section turned into a full–on war.
