[I thought she'd blow up the moment someone brought up her being from the countryside.]
[People only react like that when you hit a sore spot, or something they don't want to admit even though it's true. Shen Yunzhi might love money, but at least she's never badmouthed her adoptive parents in the village online.]
[Hahahaha, I suspect the girl above is referring to a certain fandom.]
Jiang Yunli's fans had just been fighting with Shen Yunzhi's fans.
Then they turned around and found casual viewers mocking them too.
Their whole world practically came crashing down.
Before they could wrap up their fight with Shen Fans, they turned around to pick a fight with the casual viewers.
Jiang Fans: [Who are you talking about?!]
The casual viewers:
[Why are you so quick to assume we mean you?]
[Exactly. As the saying goes, throw a rock into a pack of dogs, and the one yelping loudest is the one you hit.]
It had to be said that the casual viewers still had their morals straight.
Did they know why a fiancé was still called a husband-to-be?
Because he was already halfway to being someone's husband.
If you fell in love with someone else's husband and flaunted it in front of his rightful partner, what were you if not a homewrecker?
The casual viewers had been having a perfectly peaceful discussion about what was happening in the livestream.
Jiang Yunli's fans just had to come looking for a fight.
The casual viewers weren't about to indulge them.
One moment, Jiang Yunli's fans were fighting Shen Yunzhi's fans; the next, they were fighting casual viewers.
Driven back at every turn, Jiang Yunli's fans started firing wildly in all directions.
[Not a single person on this show is any good, but you only pick on our Yunli?]
[An Zhizhi keeps bringing up Chi Zong on the show. Who knows if she likes him!]
[Our Yunli is just quietly dating someone, and you have to attack her for that too?]
It was an all-out indiscriminate attack.
One moment, they were sneering about how nice it must be to have a rich family.
Even with An Zhizhi acting like this, people still defended her, and even Shen Yunzhi could gain fans.
Then they accused the two women's fans of sucking up to them. Were those women going to hand them money?
[An Zhizhi is a spoiled, drama-loving princess, Chi Zong has no decency as a man and doesn't act like an idol at all, and Xiao Yao is a heartless capitalist too. Why aren't you cursing them out?]
[You're just picking on our Yunli because she has no connections!]
An Zhizhi's and Chi Zong Fans, who had been watching the drama unfold: ?
Was something wrong with these people?
To them, this was trouble out of nowhere.
But despite all the hate Chi Zong and An Zhizhi received, both still had huge numbers of diehard fans.
Anyone who could remain a diehard fan of those two was no slouch in a fight.
[Chi Zong might have no decency as a man, but he openly announced every girlfriend, okay? At least that's better than hiding a girlfriend and refusing to admit it even after getting exposed.]
[Anyway, Chi Zong has nothing left to lose. Curse him out all you want, but don't compare him to a scumbag like Ji Nanxian. At least our Chi Zong doesn't hold one woman in his arms while stringing another along.]
[LMAO. If you're saying our Zhizhi hasn't given us money, I'm going to have to object. She runs Weibo giveaways or hands out perks every month, giving away at least a million.]
[Jiang Fans and her ship fans are like rabid dogs, biting anyone they can catch.]
Every fandom had joined the melee.
Except for Xiao Yao.
Not a single person stood behind him.
Even the casual viewers watching the drama would join in with a few insults whenever someone brought Xiao Yao up.
Xiao Yao finished eating.
His happiness peaked after the meal.
He had been about to turn around and return to his room.
As he passed the control room.
Something suddenly occurred to Xiao Yao.
Shen Yunzhi had said someone pushed her?
After all, accepting someone's food or gifts left you beholden to them.
He might as well help the unlucky girl out.
With a wicked smile tugging at his lips, Xiao Yao pushed open the control room door.
Xiao Yao asked the director, "I remember full-color night-vision cameras being on the procurement list?"
The director replied, "Yes, President Xiao. They're installed inside the livestream villa."
Xiao Yao asked, "Are there any in the living room?"
The director said, "Yes."
Xiao Yao said, "Then release the full footage of that game."
The baffled director blurted out, "Huh?"
Even the footage from when the lights were off?
Xiao Yao said, "Release it. If it doesn't trend, that's on me."
There was a reason people cursed Xiao Yao out.
How much conscience could a variety show he funded possibly have?
Before long.
The fandom war was forcibly brought to an end.
Because the official All Villains Weibo account released a video.
-the infrared footage from the lights-out portions of the lights-on, lights-off challenge.
The infrared night-vision cameras had clearly captured every guest's movements while the lights were off.
An Zhizhi and Chi Zong had kept beating each other up until the game ended.
Both were determined only to beat the other.
Shen Yunzhi had been going after Ji Nanxian and beating him from the start.
Xiao Yao and Jiang Yunli had initially hidden off to the side, afraid of getting caught in the crossfire.
Until the last time the lights went out.
Jiang Yunli went berserk.
She reached out and shoved Shen Yunzhi.
Shen Yunzhi stumbled forward, tripped over the floor lamp's cord, and dragged the tablecloth down along with it.
She knocked Xiao Yao over, and the falling tablecloth covered them both.
Just as Xiao Yao had predicted.
It made the trending list.
#Jiang Yunli pushed Shen Yunzhi#
#Shen Yunzhi, trouble out of nowhere#
Jiang Yunli's fans, who had been busy fighting every other fandom, were stunned when they saw the trending topics.
Other netizens turned into eager spectators, asking everywhere what had happened.
Viewers from the livestream explained the whole sequence of events to them.
[They were playing a lights-on, lights-off game on the livestream. When Jiang Yunli saw Shen Yunzhi and Xiao Yao collide, she immediately accused Shen Yunzhi of harassing Xiao Yao.]
[My god, she was the one who pushed her! How did she say all that without showing the slightest sign she was acting?]
[I recommend finding the livestream replay. Watching it yourself is even better.]
Plenty of people went looking for the replay.
The funniest part was this.
Jiang Yunli was clearly the one who had maliciously pushed Shen Yunzhi toward Xiao Yao, yet the moment the lights came on, she accused Shen Yunzhi of harassing him.
Then Xiao Yao emerged with a black eye and said, "If that counts as harassment, I've got nothing to say."
[You can tell Shen Yunzhi has no desire for Xiao Yao in that sense...]
[Jiang Fans are even worse. Some casual viewers praised Shen Yunzhi for being forthright and mentioned Jiang Yunli, and her fans chased them down to attack them.]
[Bravo.]
The point was, those casual viewers hadn't said anything wrong.
However rotten Shen Yunzhi's character might be, when it came to the real and fake heiresses, she had never badmouthed her adoptive parents in the countryside.
Jiang Yunli, on the other hand.
After being taken back to the countryside that year, she had cried and complained constantly, saying her biological parents treated her badly and her birth family had driven her into depression.
[...I'm not really buying Jiang Yunli's claims now.]
[Exactly, especially since Shen Yunzhi said her adoptive parents beat her because she insisted on eating rat poison and wouldn't listen.]
[...]
[We're discussing something serious here. Can you stop bringing up things that make me laugh? Now my sense of humor is fighting my morals again.]
[Now I believe it when people say Jiang Yunli might only have gotten between them after they were engaged.]
