“Wow, these descriptions are making me curious. I almost want to watch it just to see how bad it can be!”

“Don’t do it,” a viewer warned. “Seriously, you’ll be ruined for other web dramas after watching this one. It’ll make even the cheesiest movies seem like masterpieces.”

“The more you talk about it, the more 1 want to know the title!”

“‘Legend Blind: Searching for Eyeballs?”

“I can’t find it anywhere online…”

The viewers who had seen this infamous web drama were having a field day, playfully exaggerating its awfulness to pique the curiosity of others.

Some of the uninitiated viewers even started requesting the title, while others jokingly bombarded the chat with messages about death to those who spoil the show.

Despite the exaggerated descriptions, the majority of viewers were drawn in by Nono’s engaging voice and animated expressions.

Many male fans, in particular, were itching to see the drama, fueled by curiosity.

“Alright, continue,” Chen Yu said, gesturing for Nono to proceed.

“Okay,” Nono began, “to make the miracle doctor character more believable, my girlfriend gave her an impressive background.”

“Apparently, she graduated from a top medical school, then went on to specialize in a renowned medical country before working for years as a war doctor in conflict zones.”

Relief washed over Nono as he finished explaining this elaborate backstory.

“Things seemed to be on track for a while,” Nono continued. “They filmed two more episodes before encountering another hurdle.”

“In episode twelve, the male lead unexpectedly collapsed in his room, and news broke that he was involved in a tax evasion scandal.”

“My girlfriend and the screenwriter pulled an all-nighter rewriting the script. The female lead would now take center stage, and a replacement actor would impersonate the male lead in episode thirteen before conveniently dying on screen.”

Nono mimicked a dramatic throat-slashing gesture to illustrate the male lead’s demise, clearly intended to appease the chat.

“The first thirteen episodes actually aired well and received positive feedback from viewers,” Nono reported. “Things were going smoothly… until…”

Nono’s face fell. “The sixteenth episode is where everything went downhill. It turned out the person who exposed the tax evasion scandal was seeking revenge and wanted to destroy the male lead’s career.”

“Unsurprisingly, the male lead’s fans erupted, flooding the web with negative reviews and demanding his character be revived.”

Nono’s description took a turn for the absurd. To appease the angry fans, the writers decided to have the male lead beheaded by a villain. Even a miracle doctor wouldn’t be able to fix that!

Unfortunately, the male lead had millions of fans, many of them being hardcore fans. These fans would either send razor blades to the studio or personally harass the filming crew on location.

So, back to the drawing board they went, rewriting the script yet again.

This time, the solution involved introducing a genius scientist specializing in genetic cell and DNA technology. They even threw in the “inventor of the Thousand Grass Wither antidote” as a completely unnecessary detail to further inflate his credentials.

The viewers who had actually seen the drama erupted in the chat.

“This is supposed to be a crime mystery?! A miracle doctor reviving the dead is one thing, but a Thousand Grass Wither antidote and DNA cloning? This is beyond ridiculous!”

“This is why filming and broadcasting simultaneously are rarely done here. Even the best director can’t handle an actor with a sudden health crisis!”

“Why not just go full fantasy and have the characters prevent plot collapses with magical powers?”

Nono visibly cringed and nervously fiddled with her skirt, clearly embarrassed by the unfolding chaos of the production.

The viewers who hadn’t seen the drama could already guess from Nono’s reaction that things only got worse.

“Fast forward to episode nineteen,” Chen Yu prompted. “We learn that the female lead’s weight loss pills, previously promoted during her livestream, were found to contain harmful substances.”

“The police apprehended her right on set. The production team, facing yet another scandal, decided to have her character also ‘ascend to heaven’—this time byway of a car explosion with only her legs remaining.”

Nono mumbled, “Who asked her to accuse me of being a pervert when I just visited my girlfriend at work?”

The livestream chat exploded with laughter.

Understandably, the director, Nono’s girlfriend, channeled her personal frustrations into the female lead’s tragic demise. It was revenge served cold, web drama style.

“Filming progressed to episode twenty-two,” Nono continued. “Here, the investigation reveals the truth. The weight loss pills did contain illegal ingredients, but the female lead was innocent. The manufacturer hid this information, making her a scapegoat.”

This time, the viewers were wiser. Instead of getting caught up in the plot twists, they focused on the big question—how would the female lead be brought back?

“Supernatural powers meet extraterrestrial technology,” Chen Yu revealed with a smirk.

“The male lead, holding the ashes of her legs, is about to bury them. But then, in the mountains, he encounters two immortals who miraculously resurrect her with a whoosh!”

“Knowing your girlfriend,” Chen Yu continued, “she needed a believable source for these deities. Building a complex celestial system was out of budget, so she simply made them aliens visiting Earth.”

“There were a few more minor incidents,” Chen Yu said, barely stifling his laughter, “but before your girlfriend could completely lose it, several sponsors did first. They pulled out and left, taking their investments with them.”

The viewers erupted in a flurry of comments.

“The sponsors stuck with it for this long? They deserve a medal!”

“This is a crime drama gone sci-fi fantasy! First, a miracle doctor, a cloning scientist, and now aliens? It’s getting out of control!”

“If Nono’s girlfriend keeps going, she might end up needing a therapist more than funding!”

“The director did her best, but maybe a break and traditional comedy would do her some good.”

“Honestly, aliens might have been a better starting point for this whole mess!”

“She’s poured her heart and soul into this project,” Nono pleaded. “She’s lost sleep and hair over it. The movie investor treats her well, and she doesn’t want to give up. Dr. Chen, according to her estimates, they need eight million yuan to finish the last five episodes. Can you help her find some sponsorship?”

The drama’s chaotic reputation made securing funding nearly impossible. The initial investor and Nono’s girlfriend had exhausted their options.

The cast and crew wouldn’t wait forever. Nono, desperate for a lifeline, saw Chen Yu as their only hope.

“This is quite solvable,” Chen Yu said with a smile.

“Really? Where can we find sponsors?” Nono asked eagerly.

Chen Yu’s answer was unexpected. “Universities,” he replied simply..
