Title: The "God of Small Cakes" Revolutionizes Love Bases Campaign

9 November 2023
In a world where love is the canvas and small cakes are the brush, Wang He Di, also known as the "god of small cakes," @WangHeDi_Dylan, has been making waves in China's social media landscape. His recent campaign, "For Love Bases," which relies heavily on his influence, has sparked a heated debate among netizens.
Wang He Di is renowned for his role in the popular Chinese TV series "My Life as a Court Lady," where he plays the charming and romantic character Shi Yan, nicknamed "the little sweet drama that makes people happy." His on-screen chemistry with co-star Yi Ai, who is known as "Time Banquet Sweet Spouse," has captured the hearts of millions and led to the creation of a new term: "Camped out in love, little cake god?" This phrase has been trending on Chinese social media platform Weibo, with netizens expressing their desire to join Wang He Di's team and Time Feast in making small cakes.
The campaign, "For Love Bases," is an advertising and marketing strategy that has garnered industry recognition. It emphasizes the use of love as a base for building relationships, rather than focusing solely on material goods or status. Wang He Di's involvement in this project has not only elevated its reach but also sparked discussions among netizens about the true nature of love and relationships.
The reactions from Weibo netizens have been varied, with some praising Wang He Di for his efforts to promote love-based campaigns amidst the increasing commercialization of romantic relationships in China's society. Others, however, have criticized him for what they perceive as an attempt at commercializing love and promoting a stereotypical image of women as passive objects of desire.
The latter group has been vocal with their criticism, using inflammatory language to express their disapproval. Some netizens have accused Wang He Di of objectifying women by reducing them to mere "sweet spouses" and "time feasts," while others have questioned the real intentions behind his campaign, speculating that it is merely a ploy to increase his own influence and popularity.
Despite these criticisms, many netizens have come forward in support of Wang He Di's efforts. One user wrote, "I really like this sense of tension and ambiguity in love. Time Feast is not only the God of Small Cakes, but also a Love Battle General." Another netizen expressed their admiration for his unique approach to advertising, stating, "Although it's rustic, it looks very elegant. I really want to make cakes with Shi Yan."
The controversy surrounding Wang He Di's campaign has not only highlighted the power of social media in shaping public discourse but also underscored the challenges faced by celebrities who leverage their influence for a cause. Despite the heated debate, one thing is clear: Wang He Di's "God of Small Cakes" persona has become an iconic figure in Chinese entertainment and love-related campaigns, and his impact on China's social media landscape will undoubtedly continue to be felt for years to come.
