plagiarizing of tian guan ci fu
okay, so i just got back to my twitter timeline after binging new amsterdam for a while to find it entirely on fire because someone out there plagiarized the entirety of tian guan ci fu and claimed it as their own work. unfortunately i am not kidding and they seem to be profiting off of it as well so this is a serious issue.
i will try to make a post containing all the information i’ve gathered from my twitter timeline so far, and i will try my best to put it in chronological order.

reblogging with an incredibly important add on:
DO NOT SPREAD THIS ON WEIBO !
i get that you want to get justice for mxtx and all the hard work she put into writing tgcf, but spreading this on weibo will only have negative effects. technically speaking all fan translations of our favorite danmei novels are a copyright infringement on the author’s original work, so if this issue starts trending on weibo they will most likely take down fan translations of tgcf or mdzs / svsss as well because of copyright strike. this is not what we want to see happen, of course, so please please please refrain from posting about this on weibo if you have a weibo account.
