The Omega's Vow: Never Marry a Mama's Boy Alpha - Chapter 52

On the second weekend of December, “Rivalry” was released nationwide.

The previous preview screenings had already generated positive buzz. Not only fans but also readers of the original novel attended and took to the internet to promote the film. The main cast also posted updates on platforms like Weibo and Douyin to build momentum.

As a result, tickets for the premiere shows of “Rivalry” sold out almost instantly across major cinemas. Scalpers, seeing an opportunity, deliberately inflated prices and resold tickets at high rates on secondary platforms.

Some die-hard fans, eager to see their idols on the big screen as soon as possible, reluctantly dug into their pockets and made love-hate transactions with these scalpers.

The worst-case scenario was paying the money, making plans with friends, excitedly heading to the cinema, only to realize they had been scammed.

Late at night at 11:30, Weibo user “Little Prince’s Fox” posted:

Calling out this inhuman scalper! The original ticket price was 40 yuan, but he doubled it to 80 per ticket. Fine, to get a close look at Yanyan’s divine beauty, I gritted my teeth and bought them. I invited my friend, even got bubble tea ready. And then, damn it, he gave me two fake tickets! My friend and I ended up squatting pitifully outside the cinema, begging the staff to sell us tickets on the spot. Of course, they refused. We had to go home embarrassed, and just thinking about it makes me furious. Can you be a decent human being and stop making strangers curse your parents?

This user’s unfortunate experience caught the attention of many netizens. Even those who knew nothing about “Rivalry” or Wen Yan couldn’t help but laugh hysterically.

LMAO, I feel so bad for the OP. Good thing they didn’t bring a crush to watch the movie, or they’d have been dumped on the spot.

Hahahahahahahaha, I didn’t manage to get tickets either, but OP is seriously so pitiful hahahahaha.

Hello, your post has been featured in Today’s Best and Silly News.

OMG hahahahaha, it’s already trending.

Getting scammed by a scalper but ending up trending, is this a blessing in disguise?

But soon, these netizens couldn’t laugh anymore, because a very familiar ID appeared in the comments.

Wen Yan Doesn’t Want to Paint Anymore v: Next time, don’t buy tickets from scalpers, okay? I’ll give you two tickets so you can go watch it with your friend again～

Wait, what?

Were their eyes playing tricks on them?

A high-quality fake account or the real deal?

Netizens holding their phones couldn’t believe what they were seeing. They unanimously clicked on the profile picture and then let out disbelieving screams.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

It’s Yanyan!

The official gold verification badge and Weibo certification boldly confirmed that the comment was indeed from Wen Yan herself!

The mood instantly shifted from amused bystanders to envious lemon-eaters. After the cyberbullying incident, Wen Yan had been largely inactive on social media. Even promotional posts for the movie were simple reposts, clearly not from her personally. But now, to comfort a fan who couldn’t watch the movie, she had personally stepped in and even offered free tickets.

Wahhhhh, so jealous, so jealous they wanted a reply from Yanyan too.

They wanted tickets gifted by Yanyan as well.

This comment instantly blew up, with likes and replies skyrocketing at an alarming rate. Eventually, even Panda Sis caught wind of it and left a sour remark:

Yanbao, you shouldn’t play favorites.

She said it casually, mostly joking, never expecting that Wen Yan, the internet-addicted girl, was still online and actually replied to Panda:

But didn’t you already attend five preview screenings?

There were exactly five preview screenings in total, one each in Magic City, Imperial City, Fog City, Mountain City, and Flower City. The schedule was tight, with screenings in different cities every other day, so hectic that even Wen Yan found it overwhelming. Yet, at every screening, she could spot Panda Sis sitting in the front row.

Her signature black-and-white long down jacket and the iconic long-lens camera made her stand out in the crowd.

Every time Wen Yan saw her, she would smile softly and wave in greeting.

Panda Sis had always assumed Wen Yan was waving to all her fans. It wasn’t until she saw this comment that it dawned on her:

That wave was meant for her.

Wen Yan had noticed her all along.

Holy crap, what kind of celestial idol is this? Panda Sis, a seasoned veteran in the entertainment industry, had seen it all. Back when she was a fan of Fan Ye, she had even received New Year’s gifts from his studio. But none of that compared to Wen Yan’s single reply just now.

Wen Yan didn’t treat her as just another fan. This natural, intimate exchange felt more like a conversation between two friends.

Damn, Panda felt like she’d been charmed by her goddess, who was even younger than her.

Otherwise, why would her eyes well up with tears, making her suddenly want to cry?

With Wen Yan’s involvement, the popularity of this Weibo post surged once again, reaching terrifying heights. Her knack for trending was proven once more, as “#WenYanRepliesToNetizen” and “#WenYanGivesMovieTickets” soared to the top two spots on the hot search list.

Meanwhile, the original poster, Little Prince’s Fox, was enviously dubbed “Human Koi” by Wen Yan’s fans.

You there? Wake up, you’re famous!

Buddy, here’s your chance. Play the scalper and sell me the tickets Wen Yan gave you. Name your price.

Wonder what that scalper who scammed you is thinking now. Probably regrets it so much they want to slap themselves.

Rubbing some of your luck! After watching the movie tomorrow, I’ll write a review and get Wen Yan to reply to me too!

Little Prince’s Fox had initially posted out of anger, venting her frustration and grievances online, with no real intention of doxxing the scalper.

After posting, she went straight to bed.

Her sleep was far from peaceful. The phone under her pillow kept buzzing and chiming incessantly, like the alarm clock from her student days that ruthlessly dragged her out of bed for morning study sessions annoying and relentless.

After about three hours of fitful sleep, she was jolted awake and instinctively checked her phone for any messages. The screen flooded with Weibo notifications gave her a shock.

What the…?

What’s going on?

Did some big-name Weibo influencer share her post?

With a nervous heart, she opened the Weibo app. Red dots and “999+” were everywhere so many messages she couldn’t even scroll through them all. There were also a ton of private messages from people she didn’t follow, looking downright overwhelming.

To simplify things, she went straight to her profile and saw that her latest Weibo post had tens of thousands of reposts and comments, with likes surpassing 100,000.

Holy crap?

Is this for real?

She’s an instant top influencer.

It must have been shared by a major Weibo account, right?

When she opened it, she nearly leaped off the bed in shock. Rubbing her eyes, she read it over and over, still unable to believe it.

The top comment was from her latest obsession Wen Yan, the female lead of Rivalry.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Even happier than winning five million yuan is having your idol acknowledge you!

And she even sent you movie tickets!

Out of three thousand beauties in the harem, my Yanyan favors me alone!!!

What kind of Mary Sue plot is this?!

The little prince’s fox let out a shriek loud enough to disturb the neighbors. The old man next door, who was cooking, was so startled he nearly chopped his hand. He flung open the window and started cursing at her.

“What the hell are you screaming about?!”

“I! AM! HAPPY!”

“Tch, lunatic.”

Grumbling, the old man slammed his window shut.
