Evelyn Curtis had not made an appearance in the public eye for quite some time, even promotional photos for her new show hadn’t been released.
The comments and messages from fans almost paralyzed Evelyn’s Weibo and the official Weibo of her production team, but there was still no official response.
Harsh words were flying in the comment sections, it almost seemed like a fight was breaking out there.
"Dream Watson is clearly a huge star, so why can’t we find a trace of her online? Where the heck has she gone? Could the authority at least provide a statement? Leaving all of us fans on edge, how is that fair?"
"Right, Dream is a living, breathing human being, and it isn’t possible that she simply vanished from the face of the earth, is it?"
"Excuse me for being blunt, but the official Weibo really sucks. Failing to release the promotional photos is one thing; they didn’t even inform us about the commencement of filming. I have been waiting for Evelyn to star in this drama for so long, just to be left hanging?"
"Exactly, what happened to Evelyn? We’re genuinely worried."
There were countless comments of this nature the show’s official account had seen.
They were frustrated and just as desperate as the fans. The traffic to their Weibo home page was about to make it crash.
Undeniably, they were eager to release the promotional photos to calm the anxious fans. However, to their surprise, Evelyn Curtis disappeared without a trace, as if evaporated from the face of the earth.
Even when they visited her residence, another family had already moved in.
Not to mention Evelyn, even her assistant vanished without a trace.
How could they shoot promotional photos when the star of the show had disappeared?
The producer, who also kept an eye on Weibo, quickly skimmed through the comments and his face turned grave.
After all, Evelyn Curtis was now a well-known actress, or, to put it kindly, a star.
Once public opinion started to swerve her way, the consequences would be unthinkable.
The producer’s hand tightened around his mouse, his knuckles turning white while the staff standing next to him, dripping cold sweat as they watched the computer screen.
The room temperature seemed to drop noticeably. Eventually, the producer closed the Weibo page.
He rubbed his temples, his face darkened, his voice stern: "Xiao Zhang, spend some money to control the comments on Weibo, try to minimize the impact on the production team. Also, send someone to find Evelyn. If we can’t find her, find a new lead actress. Once the time comes we’ll declare she’s breached our contract. Understood?"
The staff member lowered his head, snuck a glance at the producer’s stern face, and whispered: "Okay, I’ll get to it."
Despite the production team’s hefty investment trying to sway public opinion, the fans were not fools. Sensing something was off, they found another way to attack again.
Within a few days, a few hashtags caught fire on the internet:

Meanwhile, the fans were also restless and started to mobilize their connections to investigate this. Many wealthy fans sensed something was amiss.
For Evelyn Curtis, an influential actress, there were clearly great prospects, yet she disappeared as if she had evaporated.Only two possibilities could explain it.
One: Accidental death.
Everyone unanimously leaned towards the second possibility. After all, seeing is believing; since there was no body, she must be alive.
It was at this moment, online rumors began to swirl.
A die-hard fan with the Weibo handle "CrazyforDream" posted a long and sharp-witted essay, delivering blow after blow, which was evidently written with a lot of time and heart.
