On the 13th, Zhao Lusi was embroiled in a controversy over 'pretending to help farmers but actually making money.' She seemed to believe it was orchestrated by a competing actress trying to smear her, and threw major shade during her livestream: 'Someone has been preparing for this for a long time, controlling public opinion,' 'Why are there people who slander you? Because she can't beat you through fair competition anymore,' 'These petty moves just make someone seem small-minded. The core might be stable but the mindset is narrow,' 'At first, you wanted to wait for me to lose endorsements, right? But I’ve renewed my contract, isn’t that infuriating.' Although Zhao Lusi did not directly name the actress she was implying, she previously hinted at 'an artist reversing on the highway,' reminding people of Yu Shuxin’s violation last year. Now the old and new grudges between Zhao Lusi and Yu Shuxin in the 95-Flower Queen battle have basically come out into the open.
In response to Zhao Lusi’s shade, Yu Shuxin’s side didn’t take the bait and simply responded lightly, 'I don’t have a driver’s license.' Back when the reverse driving incident on the highway was exposed, Yu Shuxin was only a passenger, with a driver at the wheel. In contrast, Zhao Lusi’s contract disputes became a spectacle, while Yu Shuxin quietly completed her contract with Huace Media and is now free. Netizens are saying the winner is clear.
The beef between Zhao Lusi and Yu Shuxin runs deep: both belong to the cohort of top starlets born around 1995, both go for the cute image, and compete for resources in the entertainment industry. Moreover, Zhao Lusi’s drama 'Pearl Curtain and Jade Veil' aired on the same day as Yu Shuxin’s 'Eternal Night Galaxy,' with Zhao suffering a heavy defeat. Fans are loving the drama and are even suggesting that the platforms air their upcoming idol dramas 'Shine for Me' and 'Parallel Tracks' on the same day to see who really comes out on top.
