Plagiarist

Lu Mingxi grew up in a very complicated environment. Her parents have respected each other like ice for many years. Her grandma doesn't like girls, and it is common for her to speak ill of her in front of her.

Lu Mingxi has a younger brother. This younger brother was cultivated by his father's mistress in a test tube. After being taken back to Lu's house, her mother has been taking care of him. Lu Tianhe is born with ADHD, and he is irritable and can't control himself. That's why Lu Mingxi's grandma doesn't like him either. Grandma has always wanted a boy conceived by a woman, not a grandson raised by IVF. Because of this old idea, it finally caused a tragedy more than ten years ago. It made her mother infertile for life and left the root of the disease in her body. This is why her grandmother dared not point her parents' noses to ask them to divorce although she was dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law in various ways.

The atmosphere in her family has always been very oppressive. Although grandma doesn't like her, grandma doesn't allow her to lose face at home, so she has been strictly required to go home after school and learn this and that every day.

Don't laugh, don't wear superskirts, hair must grow long, you must report to your family before you cut your hair, don't touch things that aren't for girls, don't chat with boys, don't participate in class activities, such things that are demeaning.

As if her family is such a prestigious family.

When Lu Mingxi entered the rebellious period and entered junior high school, one time she went shopping in a bookstore, she accidentally walked into the novel section, and she came into contact with the first novel in her life - the cloud will make the rain, the author is Zhou Zhen - and has since been read The words in the book are attracted and cannot extricate themselves.

For the first time, Lu Mingxi understood why her classmates were so crazy about chasing stars. After reading that novel, she became a fan of Zhou Zhen. Novels, and she pays attention to Zhou Zhen all the time. Like other fans of Zhou Zhen, she hopes that Zhou Zhen can write well and create more touching novels.

She has also come into contact with many novels since then, but none of the authors can shock her like Zhou Zhen's novels. She read a classmate's novel by Bai Jian, but she failed to finish the novel, or even the first few chapters.

It is also a novel for young people, and the protagonists of the two books are ordinary young people. The protagonist of Zhou Zhen pays more attention to enriching himself, finding his own shortcomings and overcoming them, making himself better, facing The world is full of malice. What the protagonist wants to do is to reconcile with the world and become a useful person. The protagonist may have various shortcomings, and some shortcomings may not be corrected until the end of the novel. However, such a person It made Lu Mingxi feel more real.

However, Bai Jian's novels are biased towards campus life. Luxury life, campus violence, isolation, etc. have become the main themes in the novel - it seems that people all over the world feel sorry for the protagonist, and it seems that everyone is looking down on the protagonist. Here , friendship and family affection are extremely precious on the surface, but when they block the protagonist's love, they will be given up by the protagonist immediately. She only read the first few chapters, and the protagonist has had conflicts with the people around him several times. This annoyed her very much—it seemed that she deliberately used such contradictions to show how miserable the protagonist is.

In her opinion, she prefers the feeling that Zhou Zhen's novels bring her—when you become better, you will get a wider sky.

She thought that the author must also be such an optimistic person.

She joined Zhou Zhen's reader group. She didn't know if it was the same in the reader group of other authors, but she felt the warmth of home in that group—the kind when there were only mother, Tianhe and her at home. Feel.

Zhou Zhen's novels seem to have a magical power, which can calm her increasingly agitated and restless mood along with the words in the rebellious period, so that she can use a gentler method when facing her father's accusations and grandma's belittling To solve it, don't let yourself do impulsive things that are irreversible. It's not that she didn't think about breaking out one day, but more often, she will consider the consequences more carefully. Maybe her mother changed her relationship with her after knowing that she would not enter the rebellious period. Her way of getting along has worked, but she understands that Zhou Zhen's words have also helped her a lot.

It's not that she hasn't read other people's novels in those few years, and she also liked other authors, but it's probably because Zhou Zhen was the author of the first novel she came into contact with. In her heart, Zhou Zhen is always different.

But not long after that, a major event happened to Zhou Zhen.

In fact, the big event didn't happen to him, he was just involved in it - Bai Jian's plagiarism of Zhou Zhen's novel was exposed, and the two people who had no relationship at first were inexplicably connected by the public.

Lu Mingxi paid attention to the progress of the whole matter, and has been comforting Zhou Zhen with many readers in the group. The work is also aimed at teenagers, and the readers are also of a lower age level. Of course, there are a few fans on Zhou Zhen's side who don't care about their image. , but more people followed Zhou Zhen's appeal and did not jump and cause other troubles.The other side is different, Bai Jian's fans almost turned the Internet upside down, as long as you open the Internet forum, you can see Bai Jian fans who have stepped on Zhou Zhen almost everywhere, and it was also from then on, "If XXX didn't plagiarize you, how could you?" Huo, you should be grateful to XX", "Who is this person, he just came to catch my Bai Jian's popularity", "Yo, if you look similar, you can say plagiarism, if you have the ability, you can sue, if you win, you can come to BB again ” and other remarks swept the entire web literature circle like a flood, and infiltrated sewage mixed with viruses into the web literature circle.

Lu Mingxi actually doesn't know much about the Internet literary circle. She has read a lot of novels in the past few years, but there is only one cinnabar mole, Zhou Zhen. The literary circle turned into a pool of muddy water, because many people have already touched their readership, and specially selected Zhou Zhen to swipe their screens to scold people when they were there. Even though Zhou Zhen closed the group later, some people still reported that their numbers were stolen. It was only after that that she realized that the Internet literature circle was very troubled.

The days when Zhou Zhen appeared in the group became less and less.

However, at the same time, there were more news about Zhou Zhen actively seeking lawyers to defend his rights.

Zhou Zhen, who was busy defending his rights, had no news of a new work for a whole year, but the plagiarist Bai Jian created another tear-jerking novel during the lawsuit. More and more people stood beside him, and Zhou Zhen retired from the group. There were more and more people, and one day, Lu Mingxi saw that there were only less than 100 people left in the group, and accidentally clicked on Zhou Zhen's profile picture, and then applied to be added as a friend.

She used to worry that Bai Jian's fans were making a lot of noise these days, and whether Zhou Zhen had already set up to refuse to add anyone as a friend, but fortunately, it took less than ten seconds for her application to be sent, and the other party approved her. She was very happy about the friend application, and before typing in the chat window, the next moment the system prompted the news that the reader group was disbanded.

She took a deep breath, she was just a little bit close to losing contact with Zhou Zhen, she vaguely guessed that Zhou Zhen was disbanding the fan group, and her application information jumped out, so he clicked OK, so In those few days, she opened her friend list every day to see if the other party was still in her friends list. She didn't dare to disturb Zhou Zhen, for fear that Zhou Zhen would delete herself after remembering one day.

After another half a year, the matter between Zhou Zhen and Bai Jian became more and more serious, and the situation became more and more unfavorable to Zhou Zhen, because those who once supported Zhou Zhen felt that Zhou Zhen was too fussy and should not bite Bai Jian like this. Letting go, more people stood on Bai Jian's side, those girls who were about the same age as Lu Mingxi scolded Zhou Zhen with the most vicious words, hoping to defeat him one day.

One day Lu Mingxi couldn't bear it any longer, so she left a message to Zhou Zhen at the risk of being deleted as a friend by Zhou Zhen.

As if writing a long memory, she told Zhou Zhen how surprised she was when she read Zhou Zhen's novel for the first time, and told Zhou Zhen that she had learned a lot from his novels over the years. She has also been paying attention to the lawsuit. She knows that Zhou Zhen must be in pain now, and that many people don't understand Zhou Zhen, but...

"I hope that you can stick to it, because I think that in the world of words, there is no such thing as 'a lie told a hundred times and it becomes true'. Even if the readership is greatly disbanded, there will still be Readers like me, I hope you will stick to it."

Two days later, Zhou Zhen replied with a smiling face: "I never intend to give up, and thank you for letting me know that there are still people supporting me."

Later, Lu Mingxi occasionally left a message to give Zhou Zhen some support. Zhou Zhen is very busy. It has been a year and a half since Bai Jian’s plagiarism broke out. Zhou Zhen is still busy with the lawsuit. , he would give Lu Mingxi a smile back, letting her know that her condition was not bad.

Later, Zhou Zhen won the lawsuit, but Bai Jian only accompanied Qian but refused to apologize. His fans still supported him and poured dirty water on Zhou Zhen in various forums. down.

That period of time was when Zhou Zhen had nothing to do. Lu Mingxi found that Zhou Zhen had more time to surf the Internet after finishing the lawsuit, and the time to reply to himself was getting faster and faster, but his words were very negative.

That period of time was also the most difficult period for Lu Mingxi.

As Lu Tianhe stepped into the rebellious stage, his innate violent temper seemed to double overnight. He used to be able to control himself, but recently he began to frequently confront his grandma and father, which made grandma Convinced even more that all test-tube babies are flawed, Lu Tianhe no longer followed her, and started to contradict frequently, and even started to fight with his father.

The family was in chaos, Lu Tianhe contradicted his father, which made the head of the family choose not to return home at night, and grandma was even more dissatisfied with Tianhe. Lu Mingxi felt that Tianhe had done what she had always wanted to do, so She has been watching coldly - she would rather stand on Tianhe's side than do anything for her grandma.

Her mother also thinks so. After so many years in this family, her husband and mother-in-law mean nothing to her. She only has two children in her eyes.

She doesn't care what happens to her mother-in-law, but she thinks that Tianhe can't go on like this, or something will happen sooner or later.

In fact, her guess was right, Tianhe moved his hand during a quarrel with her grandma, and when her mother went to stop her, Tianhe directly knocked her unconscious.

Lu Tian and himself were frightened by himself, and he realized how dangerous his violent temper was to his family. He stayed by his mother's hospital bed and tied his hands. stand up.

Lu Mingxi had never seen such a frightened expression on his face, he asked Lu Mingxi for help in horror: "Sister, is there a devil in my body?"

There is no devil in Lu Tianhe's body, it's just because of his natural character flaws and no one to properly guide him after the rebellious period that he began to lose control of himself, which is why her mother stopped Tianhe from quarreling.

"Sister, help me, help me, I'm afraid that one day I will beat someone to death." In order to control himself, Tianhe began to commit self-harm. His mother was still in the hospital, and his grandmother taunted their siblings. She didn't show up at the company directly, and she took care of her mother while comforting her younger brother.

Sometimes grandma hears too much cynicism, and when she dreams back in the middle of the night, resentment will arise in her heart, blaming her ineffective father, resenting her prejudice against them, and even blaming her mother for not being her own relative tomorrow. Brother, why did you spend so much energy on him, and then laughed at yourself for not being able to sit idly by and self-mutilate even though you clearly thought about not caring about anything.

This time, she spent less time surfing the Internet, and occasionally left a message to Zhou Zhen, and the content was not as sunny as before.

Zhou Zhen saw that something was wrong with her.

Maybe it was thanks to her for encouraging him when he was in his most difficult time, or maybe it was because she often left messages, so the other party remembered her, and this time it was his turn to care about her.

During that time, it was Zhou Zhen and Zhou Zhen's novels that accompanied her through what she thought was the most difficult time for her, and they became very good friends after that.

She told Zhou Zhen countless times that she read Zhou Zhen's novels countless times during that period of time, and those novels seemed to have a magical power that could make her complaining about others evaporate completely. She said, please keep writing , you will influence more people.

Zhou Zhen responded with a smile to her statement. At that time, Zhou Zhen was actually not in a good state. Bai Jian's fans were still scolding him, and many publishers refused to cooperate with him. Thanks to the "efforts" of Bai Jian's fans, He became someone in the writing circle who turned away, but he told Lu Mingxi: I still have many, many stories I want to write to you.

Later, Bai Jian returned to the public's attention not long after his silence. His fans warmly welcomed his "comeback". There are fewer and fewer people.

The year after her college entrance examination ended, she asked Zhou Zhen, "Can I ask for a face foundation?" She had just moved to S City with her parents, and she knew that Zhou Zhen was in S City.

Zhou Zhen agreed.

They met in a coffee shop, and Lu Mingxi saw him immediately after entering the shop—the information said that Zhou Zhen was 1.8 meters four, and Lu Mingxi thought that Zhou Zhen's actual height might be higher, probably because he was engaged in writing-related work, and his complexion was shorter than Most people are a little fairer, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and a warm voice when he called her: "Ming Xi?"

At that time, Lu Mingxi felt that she might like him more than she imagined.

They chatted a lot, including two-dimensional and three-dimensional. They were like friends reunited after a long time, with endless topics to talk about, and the more they talked, the more speculative they became.

During the summer vacation of freshman year, Lu Mingxi plucked up the courage to ask him: "Can you be my boyfriend?"

Zhou Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then reluctantly took a bouquet of flowers from the car: "Boys should do things like confession."

With her encouragement, Zhou Zhen picked up the pen again and wrote down the stories in his head over the years in a document. At the same time, he began to contact his friends and colleagues, intending to set up his own studio. Not just to help newcomers get published, but also to fight plagiarism.

Because of Zhou Zhen's relationship, Lu Mingxi started to get in touch with the literary circle, began to get in touch with the online literary circle, and even applied for a lot of trumpets to join some author groups, and then she found that she really stumbled into a group of plagiarized authors by mistake.

Later, an author called Yue Zhan came to the Lujiang Literature Network, who turned the Lujiang upside down with his own power, but many people still didn't like him, thinking that he was just trying to catch people's attention.

Zhou Zhen paid close attention to Yue Zhan, he said: "It is precisely because there are such people who are unwilling to follow the crowd that we don't want to put down the pen in our hands."

Today, when a group of people think that plagiarism is indifferent to plagiarism, it is the actions of readers who try their best to maintain originality to "get attention" so that those who insist on originality dare not put down their pens.

There are still people fighting for me, how dare I raise the flag and surrender?

When others say "plagiarism is not a big deal" a hundred times, someone will always repeat "plagiarism is a crime" a hundred and one times.

Yue Zhan's actions caught the attention of the group of people in Lu Mingxi's group. They discussed how to punish Yue Zhan in the group, and stated that they wanted to find hackers to find out who Yue Zhan was.

And just at that time, her father found out the whereabouts of her half-brother - the same IP address that was exposed in the group.

Later Lu Mingxi met Yue Zhan - her half-brother, Bai Xu.

Bai Xu actually looks very ordinary - he doesn't have an outstanding height, and he doesn't have an amazing appearance, but his facial features are very similar to his father's. His facial features are very handsome, with deep eyes, a high nose bridge, and a very colorful expression when he is not talking. But probably his mother's lineage softened the rigid facial features, so that he didn't have the daunting seriousness of his father.

He was dressed very casually, and seemed to be very kind to everyone with a smile on his face. His conversation with the waiter in the store let Lu Mingxi know that he was very considerate. Apart from that, Lu Mingxi didn't find any other characteristics about him.

Could such a person be the one who turned Lujiang upside down on the Internet by himself?

Because Lu Tianhe's stubborn temper that disappeared that day came up again, Lu Mingxi left the tea shop without waiting for Bai Xu to come back.

When Lu Mingxi met Bai Xu for the second time, she was finally able to connect Bai Xu with Yuezhan——Bai Xu was very stubborn, and he was the kind of person who would finish what he was sure of no matter what others said, and everyone said Unmoved stubborn.

In retrospect, isn't that what Yuezhan is like? It is said that some time ago, Lujiang BS was almost wiped out by Yuezhan. There are different opinions on what Yuezhan did on the Internet, but he was not affected in any way.

At that time, she really wanted to know what step Bai Xu could achieve, and whether she would be like many people before, denouncing plagiarism, but after a few months, she lost her voice. After clicking on Weibo, most of them had already paid attention to the new thing.

She didn't expect that Bai Xu could stir up this muddy water for several years, and even later uncovered Zhou Zhen's old case and set a trap for Bai Jian.

Bai Jian would never know that Zhou Zhen and Jun Gong contributed the most to Country Q's discovery of the plagiarism of "Phosphorescence" so quickly.

Later, Lu Mingxi got rid of the shackles of the family and married Zhou Zhen, and Bai Jian was no longer a date, but the fire that he took the lead in sowing has turned into a prairie fire that cannot be extinguished by the hurricane of plagiarism.

Lu Mingxi felt that she hadn't been able to help Zhou Zhen, so she asked her husband: "Is there anything I can do?"

Zhou Zhen hugged her tightly: "Persist on your previous persistence, this is the best help for me."

Please insist on your long-standing persistence and tell me that you will always support me. This torrent of plagiarism has engulfed many authors. Your blame and support are a guiding light, allowing me to move forward steadily in the dark.

Because of your continuous support, let me know that I am not alone in insisting on originality.

Please stay by my side and fight against plagiarism with me. When the plagiarism demon laughs at my stupidity, please tell me that you like my stupidity.

Because you are still here, I will not forget my original intention.

The author has something to say:

This girl is another type of people around us that I have been writing about. She may not know how to write, or the ups and downs of the online literary circle, but she has been moved by novels, so she knows the value of originality.

It is precisely because of the support of this kind of people that many authors dare not put down their pens—people who hurt themselves and those who care about themselves naturally care more about those who care about themselves, don’t they?
