“Guardian Stars” is Jiang Chenxing’s exclusive fan name, just like Jiang Fuyue’s “Moon Family Army.”
They are made up of the earliest, most hardcore, and most loyal group of fans.
There are both men and women among them, from eighty-year-old grandmothers down to primary and middle school students. They are the very first group who followed Jiang Chenxing and have stuck with him until now.
Most of them have been following Jiang Chenxing ever since he started doing mukbang streams, and they are also quite active on Weibo.
And among them, the backbone of the group is none other than the battle-power–invincible “mom fans” and “sister fans.”
Besides daily promotion and recommending him to others, they can also crazily spend money for their “son/little brother.”
No choice, too much free time and too much money.
But do you think that’s all?
No. The “Auntie (Mom-Sister) Squad” also ranks among the top when it comes to combat power.
At this moment, inside the 【Guardian Stars Management Group】,
“The production team, what the h*ll are they doing? From start to finish they only gave our son one close-up shot, this is outrageous!”
“According to reliable news, in the third episode’s first public performance, little brother’s team got first place, and he himself worked hard and won the ‘Popularity King’ title. Who would’ve thought this dog-sh*t production team would pull an ‘Yi Jian Mei’ cut on little brother in the second episode, infuriating!”
“So right now we can confirm there’s a problem with the editing, but what’s the reason? Is there insider manipulation?”
“Do we even need to think about it? Our son is too capable and touched someone’s cake. They couldn’t sit still and decided to play dirty.”
“Alright! Sisters, warm up first, it’s our turn to take the field.”
“On standby at all times!”
“Warmed up, in position!”
“The little b*tches who screwed our son, just wait, you’re done.”
“gkd (hurry up)! I can’t hold back the primordial power in my body anymore!”
“……”
At noon that day, a newly registered account with the Weibo name 【Guardian Stars Support Club】 posted a long Weibo.
A full five hundred words, directly @-ing the official Weibo of Star-Making Training Camp, raising three points of questioning,
- Did the production team maliciously target Jiang Chenxing and cut all his footage?
- Who was behind it? The director? The investors? Or some other agency?
- Does the show have scripted personas? Are there “royal” contestants? Can the fairness and justice of the competition ultimately be guaranteed?
For each point listed, corresponding factual evidence followed closely after.
At first, the official Weibo of Star-Making Training Camp didn’t bother to respond at all. A newly registered account, at most it could just shout a few words. No traffic, no followers; one hand clapping can’t make a sound. It simply didn’t amount to anything.
They received plenty of such @s every day. How could they have the time and energy to respond one by one?
So the official account’s operator happily went out to eat lunch, and after coming back, even took a nice, long nap.
When she woke up, her Weibo private messages had exploded.
Countless @s came flying in like snowflakes.
She opened Weibo several times, each time it froze.
The editor panicked a little. Fortunately, she had encountered similar situations before. Taking a deep breath, she was barely able to keep herself steady for the moment.
Finally, when the phone stopped lagging, she casually opened a few private messages, and her expression changed drastically.
That account she had ignored like air in the morning, 【Guardian Stars Support Club】, had, in just a few hours, gained three hundred thousand followers!
And that long Weibo questioning Star-Making Training Camp had over a million likes, more than two hundred thousand reposts, and comments exceeding one hundred thousand.
“H-how is that possible?!” The editor was dumbfounded.
Private messages were still pouring in, almost all of them speaking up for Jiang Chenxing and demanding an explanation from the production team.
At this point, no amount of deep breathing or staying calm helped, the editor completely panicked.
She hurriedly contacted the program team.
The message was passed up level by level, and finally, forty minutes later, it reached Yu Qian.
“…Director Yu, th-this, what’s going on?”
Yu Qian was also completely baffled. Before noon, hadn’t everything still been quite harmonious? Xia Qingfan had gotten his wish and climbed the trending list, wildly attracting fans; the investor-backed Zhou Chenlin and Chu Li were also on the list. No matter which side, he had an explanation!
So how did things blow up?
Yes, in Yu Qian’s view, the ones with the capital to “cause trouble,” the ones who could really make a scene, were only these few.
As for Jiang Chenxing, he had never even been within Yu Qian’s scope of consideration.
However, reality slapped Yu Qian hard in the face,
Head of publicity team: “It’s already blown up on Weibo. So many netizens are saying we have shady dealings, black-box operations, suppressing contestants. This is only the second episode, what are we going to do next?”
Once a program loses credibility, its reputation is ruined.
Hearing this, Yu Qian’s heart skipped a beat. “Explain clearly. What shady dealings? What suppression?”
“Y-you’d better see for yourself…”
Yu Qian quickly took out his phone and opened Weibo.
At that moment, topics of the Guardian Stars demanding justice for Jiang Chenxing had already climbed the trending list. Traffic was exploding like a geyser, completely impossible to suppress.

#WhoseCakeDidJiangChenxingTouch#
#StarMakingCampBlack幕#
In the comments section, public anger was boiling over,
【Finally someone exposed it. Last season Liu Can was eliminated just to make way for a stinking ‘royal.’】
【The Star-Making Camp production team really is a dog that can’t stop eating sh*t.】
【It hasn’t been easy. Back when we fought for justice for our brother, every topic got traffic-limited. Capital stepped in to wipe us out. Today, someone finally stood up to clean up these maggots.】
【I only want to say, well done!】
【Star-Making Camp really poked a hornet’s nest this time, huh? Serves them right!】
【Brother Chenxing was great in the first episode, and in the second episode he had no shots at all. The way they’re eating is too ugly, do they really take viewers for idiots?】
【Support the Guardian Stars. Star-Making Camp must give a reasonable explanation, or this won’t be over.】
【Brother Chenxing’s fans are so tough. The Auntie Squad is yyds (forever the gods)!】
【The production team must be blind, how dare they screw over Jiang Chenxing? They probably don’t know who’s behind him.】
【Given Yu Qian’s stinking habit of bending with the wind, if he knew, he’d definitely worship him like a Bodhisattva. Most likely something went wrong in the middle, and they treated Jiang Chenxing like a powerless, backing-less newbie and went all out to crush him. Really… stupid to the extreme!】
…
Looking at the ever-increasing discussion volume and topic heat, Yu Qian was stunned.
“How is this possible?” He asked the same question as the operator.
Isn’t he just an influencer?
Where did so many fans come from?
This was clearly an organized, strategic attack.
This level of combat power was comparable to a first-tier star, and all from a mukbang influencer?
What the h*ll was going on?
Or was there… someone pushing things from behind? Trying to kill with a borrowed knife? Or directly targeting him, aiming to snipe the entire show?
All kinds of guesses surfaced in Yu Qian’s mind, making him more and more uneasy.
That’s right, he still didn’t believe that merely cutting Jiang Chenxing’s footage could cause such a massive storm of public opinion.
“Find out for me, clearly! What exactly is going on!”
The assistant accepted the order and left.
Very quickly, he figured out the cause and effect and returned to report,
“…At the beginning, it was just Jiang Chenxing’s fans speaking up, trying to get justice for their idol, @-ing the official account. But the official account ignored them. Unexpectedly, this playing-dead behavior enraged the Moon Family Army. Everyone on the internet knows how strong the Moon Family Army’s combat power is. Once they entered the fray, the situation… completely spiraled out of control.”
“Wait… you said the Moon Family Army? Aren’t those Jiang Fuyue’s fans? How did that get tied to Jiang Chenxing?” Director Yu was completely confused.
The assistant let out an awkward laugh and answered stiffly: “Because, Jiang Chenxing is Jiang Fuyue’s younger brother.”
After a brief pause, he added, “Same father, same mother. Biological.”
Yu Qian’s eyes went wide, his expression shocked. “Y-you say that again? Jiang Chenxing is Jiang Fuyue’s what?!”
Assistant: “Her real younger brother.”
“The ‘Jiang Fuyue’ you’re talking about, is it really that genius scientist Jiang Fuyue? Are you sure? Not someone with the same name?”
The assistant had also been stunned when he found out.
Jiang Fuyue, the one who developed the A+ seedling, discovered a miracle drug, and not long ago won the Lasker Award!
And Jiang Fuyue is also the granddaughter of the Han family in the Imperial Capital. Switch that around, and Jiang Chenxing is the Han family’s young master!
On top of that, Jiang Fuyue and Xie Dingyuan had announced their relationship, meaning Jiang Chenxing would be Professor Xie’s future brother-in-law, inevitably having deep ties with the colossal Xie family as well.
Th-this is having no backing?
It’s clearly having too many backings, each one a golden thigh!
Yu Qian felt as if struck by lightning. Thinking of something, his face instantly turned pale. His body seemed unable to steady itself as he staggered back two steps, swaying on the verge of collapse.
In an instant, the entire studio fell silent. Even the fearless director panicked, how could everyone else be calm?
After a long while, Yu Qian recovered, opened his mouth, and unloaded a torrent of curses at the assistant: “Back then when I told you to investigate Jiang Chenxing, why didn’t you mention his relationship with Jiang Fuyue?!”
The assistant also felt wronged. “At the time, we didn’t even think in that direction…”
In fact, the sibling relationship between the two wasn’t a secret. Many fans knew it; they just didn’t talk about it often.
But they had made assumptions from the start, treating Jiang Chenxing as a nobody influencer who couldn’t make it onto the big stage, isolated, weak, easy to bully, so they never dug deep into his family background.
Who would’ve known he was Jiang Fuyue’s real younger brother!
Oh ho, this time, they were finished.
…
At the same time, after watching the second episode, the men of the Han family, no, the King Kongs, were also furious.
“Han Heng! You go, ” the old master personally gave the order.
“Got it!”
