The variety show paid eight hundred thousand for a month of filming.
Shen Yunzhi agreed to the director's offer.
She figured she would endure it for a month, get her eight hundred thousand, and run.
Whoever wanted to be the Jiang Family's daughter could have the job.
With her plan settled, Shen Yunzhi began selling off everything she had received from the Jiang Family.
Luxury cars? Sold.
Designer watches? Sold.
Luxury goods? Sold.
Jewelry? Sold.
Property? So... wouldn't sell!
The real estate agent said, "Property prices have dropped fifty percent, dear. You've listed it at two million five hundred and fifty thousand, and the buyer wants to know if you can go any lower."
Shen Yunzhi: "..."
The buyer hadn't shown up in person. Shen Yunzhi only heard a young man's cool, pleasant voice coming from the phone the agent held up.
His voice was pleasant enough, but the words coming out of his mouth were inhuman.
"I do urgently need a property in your area. How about selling it at cost, as a friendly gesture?"
Shen Yunzhi looked blank. "It cost five million."
The buyer: "..."
Shen Yunzhi: "..."
In the end, the buyer felt Shen Yunzhi really was rather pitiful.
He only knocked fifty thousand off and closed the deal on the spot.
Filming for the variety show was about to begin.
The director required all the guests to register personal Weibo accounts.
Shen Yunzhi opened the original owner's Weibo and nearly had her eyes blinded by countless pictures of luxury cars, designer watches, luxury bags, and jewelry.
Having suddenly become rich, the original owner loved flaunting her wealth. Combined with her reputation as a desperate simp, it had attracted countless haters.
Every Weibo post had countless vicious rumors beneath it.
Shen Yunzhi wasn't about to put up with them.
Jiang-Yunli and Ji-Nanxian CP: [Shen Yunzhi, can you fuck off back to your village? Shen Yunzhi, can you fuck off back to your village? Shen Yunzhi, can you fuck off back to your village?!]
Shen Yunzhi replied: [I've fucked off to the outhouse. Come fight me. Loser jumps into the cesspit.]
Ji Nanxian's fan: [Do you think a hick like you deserves our Young Master Ji? If you know what's good for you, go to the Ji family and call off the engagement yourself. Otherwise, hurry up and die, die, die!]
Shen Yunzhi replied: [I got halfway through hanging myself, then pulled my neck back out. Haha, sorry, I'm a little ticklish.]
Jiang Yunli's fan: [LMAO, the second she became a rich family's daughter, she couldn't wait to flaunt, flaunt, flaunt. What a nouveau riche.]
Shen Yunzhi replied: [You're right. Wealth corrupts me, poverty sways me, power makes me submit, and seduction wins me over. I won't endure hardship, and I'll confess without being beaten. Life is only thirty thousand days. Every comfortable day counts.]
A hater who couldn't stand Shen Yunzhi: [If you've got any guts, call off the engagement. If you willingly endure this humiliation for Ji Nanxian, don't blame anyone for insulting you. You brought it on yourself. I'm only mentioning it out of kindness. Whether you listen depends on whether you want to be a decent person.]
Shen Yunzhi replied: [Thanks, you're very kind. If I said I wanted to fuck the world, would you climb on top to protect it?]
Everyone: [...]
The netizens were stunned.
Wait a second?
This didn't sound anything like her.
The old Shen Yunzhi had been both pretentious and pathetic.
She couldn't stand even the slightest criticism.
How could she possibly jump in and trade insults with haters so readily?
[Did someone else take over?]
[I heard she's joining "All Villains" too. Did she hire someone to manage her account?]
[Looks like it. Look at her latest Weibo post!]
Shen Yunzhi posted a new Weibo update.
#This account has a new owner! It's hard to say goodbye, but it's time to begin a new journey. The road ahead is long. May we meet again if fate allows.#
The netizens thought, Sure enough, someone else took over.
Then, to their surprise, Shen Yunzhi posted another Weibo update.
#P.S. The new owner is the original owner herself. If you can't stand me, go hang yourself.#
[...]
[...]
[I used to think she didn't reply to haters because she couldn't insult people. Now it looks like she was afraid she'd get banned for being too foul-mouthed...]
[Held it in all night, only for Shen Yunzhi to make me laugh so hard first thing this morning that I shit the bed.]
[Is she possessed?]
[A handful of sticky rice isn't going to fix this.]
[To be fair, in that little video of those two, Ji Nanxian really was exactly as Shen Yunzhi described...]
[Ji Nanxian even told her to apologize. I don't see any remorse, just fond recollection.]
[This chick is seriously wild. You can tell she's reached her limit. Her mental state isn't looking too good anymore.]
[She's much better like this than when she was simping. If she'd only flaunted her wealth without being a simp, I wouldn't have hated her this much.]
[Oh, please. Isn't she just acting up to get Young Master Ji's attention?]
[Yeah, sure, everyone in the world is obsessed with your Young Master Ji's tiny toothpick.]
[?]
[What the hell is wrong with you? Insult Shen Yunzhi all you want. Why drag our Young Master Ji into it?]
[One trashy man, one pathetic simp. They're both dumbasses.]
[You're the dumbass!]
[You're the dumbass!]
[Okay, okay, let's compromise. You're all dumbasses!!]
[Fuck off!]
To be fair.
They really were the guests best qualified to appear on "All Villains."
Those three alone were enough to set off a war of the century among netizens.
The official account's comments were a battlefield of mothers being cursed and ancestral graves being blown up.
Fans steered clear while haters celebrated. It was lively as hell.
Passing netizens:
[Hahahahahaha, it's been ages since I've seen a showdown fueled by such pure hate.]
[After cursing out the whole comment section, you can't find a single ally. Hahahahaha.]
[Glorious, glorious. What a thoroughly satisfying flame war.]
Amid the chaos, the production team finally assembled all six guests.
Besides Shen Yunzhi, Jiang Yunli, and Ji Nanxian, there were three more top contenders for the title of most hated person online.
One was the difficult little princess An Zhizhi, the only daughter of City A's famously wealthy An Family.
She was notorious for being demanding, yet she was also an entertainer. Her princess syndrome was so unbearable that her studio's staff had been replaced over and over, and she was widely loathed online.
Another was Chi Zong, a top-tier idol in the entertainment industry, handsome and exceptionally skilled.
But he was an incorrigible womanizer. Despite being an idol, he had none of the restraint expected of one and changed girlfriends at lightning speed.
His fans both loved and hated him, and his hater count had topped the rankings for a long time.
Eventually, the haters disgusted by Shen Yunzhi had snatched that top spot.
The last guest was a mystery.
The legendary headliner.
The variety show was about to air.
Even during the commercials, the live comments were already fighting.
The audience was very fair, harboring equal malice toward every guest.
[Who's the headliner? Why all the mystery?]
[At this point, no guest on this show could surprise me.]
[Hahahahaha, what genius came up with this show? Putting all these All Villains together to see which poisonous creature survives?]
[Young Master Ji is only here to accompany Jiang Yunli, okay?]
[Your trashy guy and bitchy girl are equally bad. They're already paired up, so neither side gets to judge the other.]
[If you ask me, Chi Zong is the most disgusting. What other idol has so little restraint? Retire already and stop making everyone sick.]
[? Who are you talking about?]
[Chi Zong. Your precious Chi Zong! Chi, spelled C-H-I! Zong, spelled Z-O-N-G! Why are you online if you can't read?]
[Sure makes you bold when your whole family's watching over you from heaven.]
[Then you'd better hurry along too, while it's still autumn and the ground hasn't frozen.]
Everyone cranked their aggression and nastiness to the maximum, directing equal hostility at every person.
Everyone had abandoned their families and ancestral graves.
The purest foul-mouthed abuse, the ultimate enjoyment.
This was it! A variety show fueled by pure hate! So satisfying!
The actual celebrities hadn't even appeared on camera yet, but their fans and haters already made it clear how they would get along.
The bystanders were practically losing their minds with laughter.
[Has it started? Has it started?]
[It's started! It's started!]
