Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When the universitys bell rang, Rong Qi switched to her instructor account and sent out a set of test papers in Cla.s.s 7s cla.s.s group chat. The multiple-choice questions could be filled in directly on a word processing application, and the essay questions could be answered by taking photos and uploading them.

The same rules applied. Rong Qi urged the students to take the test honestly, with no cheating, and no matter how poorly they performed, she wouldnt complain. After all, there werent many open-minded cla.s.s advisors like her these days.

Rong Qi smiled with satisfaction and started scrolling through Weibo. Her timeline was filled with news about current events mixed with a few celebrity updates. When she finished browsing the news, Weibo prompted her to check out a trending topic, and the profile picture for that topic was something she had created.

Curiosity got the better of Rong Qi, so she clicked on it to see what it was about. Inside, she found a collection of her own artwork. The topic was Fans of BlankCanvas.

Rong Qi was taken aback for a moment and pondered, Who is this BlankCanvas?

At first glance, Rong Qi thought someone had taken her artwork without permission, but when she clicked into the topic, she realized it was a name given to her by her fans. Her introduction was simply Master of Two-Dimensional Arts, Camellia. Along with a plain description, [This is a paradise without a protagonist. We Florians welcome all friends alike, in protecting the best of BlankCanvas with us. Share beautiful pictures, no unauthorized edits, no commercial use. Have fun!

As the name suggested, the fans were referred to as Florians. Since they didnt know who the artist was, they simply called her BlankCanvas.

Rong Qi was surprised. She had never officially registered an account on Weibo, and she didnt know that her fans called her BlankCanvas. In fact, she had a pen name, which was Camellia.

The topic had been created for two years, and most of the artwork inside was from Rong Qis previous commissions, ill.u.s.trations, and promotional materials. Rong Qi had no idea that she had a fan base of 490,000 on Weibo.

In fact, those 490,000 were fans of Rong Qis artwork, not her personally. She had zero personal fans.

Right now, the topic was quite lively. The fans were highly active, but they werent sharing beautiful pictures or chatting. Instead, they were rallying for something. It was like a group of soldiers hastily putting on armor after their territory had been invaded.

[Fellow Florians, please react if youre here! This artwork originally belonged to our BlankCanvas, so when did it become theirs? We cant let them tarnish BlankCanvass name just because shes not around! Come, those willing to join me in counter attacking those imposters, gather! We are not afraid of their dirty doing; even though we arent many, we will do our best to protect BlankCanvas. PS: Minors are not allowed to partic.i.p.ate; dont give BlankCanvas a reason for others to criticize her. We Florians are on the right side! Love you all.]

[Darn it, Im furious! Lets go! I cant stand it when someone bullies our Camellia and spreads false accusations just because BlankCanvas isnt online!]

[I have no words for them. Since the artwork by our Camellia started circulating on the internet, there have been countless malicious people trying to ride her coattails, both positively and negatively. This is already the nth time this year.]

[We Florians have it tough, relying on ourselves to guard our small territory. When Camellia isnt around, we have to take the initiative. Its okay; we Florians are used to it.]

[Sorry, Im naturally rebellious. The more they slander us, the more loyal 1 become! Im no longer the newbie who just joined the community two years ago; now, Im a proud netizen.. If they insult me, Ill insult them back! Since they say we lack manners, Ill just be shameless to the end!]
