"Luo Luo is such a real lady. So classy, so forgiving. If I was her and someone tried to snatch my man, I'll scratch the wh*re's face off and throw her to the ocean for the sharks to feed on."
"That sl*t doesn't deserve Luo Luo's forgiveness!"
"Fan Luo is so magnanimous! As expected of the heiress of the Fan family."
"@LuoFanFan Please marry me instead!"
"Poster above, go away! Know your place! How dare a peasant like you propose to Princess Luo Luo?! She already belongs to our Prince Lin Lin!"
"We heart LinLuo forever!"
"No way! I won't accept that evil witch's bastard child, even if it's true. Only Princess Luo Luo has the right to bear Prince Lin Lin's heir."
"Fan Luo didn't say anything about the pregnancy, but based on what she said, that Iris sl*t definitely tried to seduce Jin Chonglin."
"Despicable! Die @IrisLong!"
"@JinChonglin Please say something!"
Everyone kept an eye on Jin Chonglin's account, waiting to see if he was going to respond to the rumours like his fiancée.
Moments later, Jin Chonglin finally posted on his Weibo.
JinChonglin: "I want to clarify the truth. Miss Iris Long and I have no relationship whatsoever to each other. We just casually met at a few events but that was it. She didn't seduce me, nor I her. I have never made her pregnant. We never had that kind of relationship. All of these rumours are just that, plain rumours. Please don't make up stories. I ask my fans to continue supporting me without pulling others down. Thank you for your understanding. On another note, I will be releasing my next album soon. Please look forward to it!"
His power was on another level. As soon as he posted, the responses of his hawk-eyed fans were so quick that not even a second passed after his post before the likes and replies bombarded his account.

"We understand, Prince Lin Lin! We members of your army will definitely continue supporting you! Can't wait for your next album!"
"Oh my god. A new album?! I'm so excited!"
"Anyone else finding this suspicious? Fan Luo already denounced Iris Long as the 'other woman'. Why is Jin Chonglin suddenly denying everything and even defending Iris Long? Hmmm…."
"You're right. I think Iris Long has impacted their relationship more than we expected. Is there trouble brewing between the engaged couple?"
"Oh no! We LinLuo fans would destroy anyone who dares drive a wedge between our prince and princess!"
"Mobilize our LinLuo army! Mission: total annihilation of Iris Long!"
"I think it's just Jin Chonglin acting as a gentleman and giving face to the Longs. Iris is a daughter of the Long family after all. The Longs may not be as powerful or as wealthy as the Jins, but they are still comparable to the Fans. They are people who are not to be easily offended. Actually, the Longs are slightly wealthier and has a nobler history than the Fans. Some of their ancestors were aristocrats from ancient times. But of course, that doesn't matter in this age anymore."
"Poster above, what you say makes sense."
"Yeah! Disown that shameless sl*t!"
"Who cares about that sl*t?! All I care about is saving money to buy my idol's upcoming album! Oh my god! I'm so excited!"
This discussion online exploded to the point that the newspapers and tabloids were ready to publish the story, but they found themselves unable to do so.
It appeared that someone powerful was blocking them from the shadows.
