The TV series "Wandering Beyond the Horizon" airs today. Due to its previous high level of discussion, combined with a star-studded cast, its premiere immediately caused a huge sensation.
After it aired, the biggest topic of conversation wasn’t the hugely popular Leo Lancaster, nor was it the always surprising Kiki Monroe, but rather the famed scandalous artist Maya Monroe.
Topics related to Maya Monroe quickly shot up in the trending searches. If it were the usual tales of Maya’s diva-like behavior or unflattering photos, the gossip-loving netizens would probably just glance and move on. But this time, the trending topic was surprisingly about Maya’s rapidly improving acting skills.
Leo Lancaster has a large fan base, and his acting is superb. He has always had a good reputation, never caught up in scandals or rumors. In contrast, Maya Monroe, an artist constantly surrounded by negative press, suddenly having a positive trending topic, is undoubtedly surprising and unexpected. Comparing the two, it’s obvious which one garners more attention.
The most discussed topic within the Wandering Beyond the Horizon forum is Maya Monroe.
[GetRichQuickly: Help me, family, Maya Monroe is absolutely stunning. I could watch her standing still for hours, nearly having a nosebleed the whole time. Darling, look at me!]
[TrustyTrust: Thoughts after watching the first two episodes: I have to say, Wandering Beyond the Horizon is much better than I imagined. The whole cast is visually appealing, and their acting is on point. You can feel that the production team put a lot of effort into staying true to the original work. The costumes and props are amazing. But what surprised me the most is Maya Monroe. Her acting has improved so much! Maya, known for her flamboyant personality, perfectly portrayed the gentle Luna. (thumbs up)(thumbs up)(thumbs up)]
[CourageousFlyer: Another day of cheering for Leo Lancaster. I have to say, Leo can totally pull off both historical and modern looks. He’s such a righteous, handsome youth! Leo is forever a legend!]
[JustAWood: Is Luna really the second female lead? When I read the novel, it was heart-wrenching. I wanted Jackie Foley and Luna to be together so much! I don’t like Ashley Shaw’s character, even though she’s a smart and kind young lady. I still prefer Luna, who grew up with Jackie. Lock down that Jackie and Luna pair for me!]
[LoyalLickerNo.2: Maya Monroe’s stunning beauty is unmatched. I’ll lick first as a sign of respect, family!]
[Lulu: This, this, this... Is this really Maya Monroe? How can there be such a big difference before and after? Her acting could win her a lead actress award! She really kept it hidden! On another note, the female lead Ashley Shaw’s screen time is too little. In the first two episodes, she just flashed by in the opening. Besides her pink outfit, I don’t have any other impressions. If this continues, I’ll be waving the Jackie and Luna couple flag high! (dog head)]
...
Within just a few days of Wandering Beyond the Horizon’s release, Maya Monroe quickly gained popularity and became a hot topic, with discussions about her rapidly soaring.
As Maya basks in the limelight, Kiki Monroe grows all the more jealous and resentful. Clearly, she is the lead actress in Wandering Beyond the Horizon, yet the viewers always talk about how amazing Maya’s performance is, how her makeup is angelic. Meanwhile, she, the official female lead, is ignored like a mere extra. Even when mentioned, people always compare and say: Ashley Shaw is no match for Luna.
Kiki Monroe had just finished a promotional event and was returning by RV, but the relentless wave of Maya-related trending topics frustrated and angered her even more.
She frequently felt a sense of crisis lately, all related to Maya Monroe.
"Kiki, there’s still a bit of a drive to the destination. Have some water."
Kiki Monroe was so agitated she couldn’t think of drinking water. To her, her assistant seemed completely oblivious. She pushed away the bottle of mineral water: "I don’t want to drink!"
It seemed she pushed too hard, and the assistant couldn’t hold the bottle steady. Water splashed right onto Kiki’s knee.
And it was freezing cold.
Kiki shrieked, grabbing the tissues her assistant hastily handed over, wiping herself continuously. She yelled, "Can’t you see what you’re doing? Pouring water all over me? Are you doing this on purpose?"
Many people were stunned because Kiki was known for her good temper and kindness—beautiful and with a good heart.
Kiki’s agent is Tiffany Lawson, a well-known figure in the entertainment industry, not for producing award-winning actors, but for her infamous marketing techniques, often creating buzz with controversial stories. However, Tiffany is not well-liked in the industry, as her main strategy is to tie artists together and release negative press against competitors.
Tiffany was the first to react, smiling, her plain-looking face showing a smooth smile: "Kiki has been over-scheduled these days. It’s my fault for arranging so much work for her, affecting her mood and state." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
The assistant immediately began comforting and encouraging Kiki upon hearing this.
Tiffany smiled again and told Kiki, "Kiki, your pants are wet. Better go change into some dry clothes, it wouldn’t be good to catch a cold."
Kiki trusted Tiffany Lawson deeply and obeyed her every word. She immediately stood up: "Then I’ll go change."
It wasn’t long before Kiki returned, wearing a white down jacket and jeans. The unique, tasteful design instantly became a plus for her. Kiki knew her appearance inspired a sense of vulnerability in others, so she often bought clothes in pure white to maximize her advantages.
Tiffany sat beside her, looking her over for a moment before speaking slowly: "So unhappy? Is it because of Maya?"
Kiki clenched the fabric in her hand tightly. She knew she couldn’t hide anything from Tiffany Lawson.
"Yes... I’m very unhappy... Sometimes I really feel like she has taken a lot away from me, but I can’t quite articulate it, it’s just a feeling..."
She wouldn’t hide anything from Tiffany.
Tiffany chuckled lightly, noting how young she still was: "You think having popularity is a good thing? Do you know how many people she’s blocking, how many people want to take her down? The taller the tree, the more wind it catches—that’s the truth!"
