It's a fiction based on real life case.
The villain Tang Meqi here represents a real life plagiarist named Tang Qi in China.
I remember her, she plagiarized a bl novel and made it a straight couple. She even got a drama out of it, I think it was "Eternal Love". She even made fake accs to make the original author look bad, but now tang qi is a famous "writer"(╯°Д °)╯╧╧
Yeah, sadly reality is a cruel world. The villain won, unlike the story here.
wait are you serious?? i love that drama.... i had no idea it was from a plagiarized work! ahh i feel so ashamed ╥﹏╥ do you know if the original author is doing ok?
Ohhhhhh what damn I watched that.... I feel sooo bad ┗( T﹏T )┛
So, I'm not really sure how Da Feng is doing now since they've probably kept a low profile since then. But I've read about most of the controversy here https://hamster428.wordpress.com/2015/07/09/plagiarism-allegations-against-tqgz/
I really do hope Da Feng is doing well nowadays.
There is also nothing wrong with liking the drama since the drama staff worked really really hard.
Seriously, it may or may not be fiction but it's really shameless of someone to copy anything that's something significant to the creator, because they project themselves to their creation so they can vent off from their problems. Anyways, that was very disgusting and I'm kinda glad the author of this story talks about situations that aren't talked about much
