An online bloodbath seemed to be brewing, but the top fans who used to love charging to the front barely made a move.
Ever since Brother Guan left, the fan group had fallen apart. With no one to organize them, the new fans could only go online individually to refute posts attacking Lu Xingluo.
But other comments quickly drowned them out.
Their efforts to counter the hate were a complete mess. Some even backfired, putting casual fans off.
Downstairs, Lu Xingluo was frantically tearing at her hair. Seeing the situation turn increasingly against her, she could only have someone direct the fire elsewhere. Since None of Your Peace had wronged her first, she would return the favor.
Her PR team soon released a press statement online.
Before long, a report about a top fan who had tried to pressure his idol into meeting him privately, then cyberbullied and turned against her after failing, went viral online.
The person at the center of it was none other than None of Your Peace, the top fan many celebrities had publicly said they wished they had.
Netizens flocked to None of Your Peace's Weibo, only to discover that he had already deleted all his posts.
[People Lose Their Spirit When Faced with Homework]: None of Your Peace is a pretty rare kind of obsessive fan in the industry. He made Lu Xingluo the Nation's Daughter with a single post and a set of photos, then led her fans into battle for her time and again over the years. For him to suddenly delete his posts and stop being a fan, I think there must be more to this.
[Luo Bao Is the Prettiest]: My poor baby girl. No wonder he only followed her and took so many beautiful photos of her before. Turns out he saw my baby girl as his property. Disgusting!
[Pancake Dog]: I'd say there's an eighty or ninety percent chance he's some shut-in stalker fan. He couldn't get his idol to meet him, so he deliberately tried to destroy her.
[Guan Your Tomato]: Shut up, you above me. I support my idol! Brother Guan has always quietly protected Lu Xingluo. How could he want to destroy her over something so trivial?
[Young Nun]: So disgusting. Our baby girl must have had eight lifetimes of bad luck to get a top fan like this. Good riddance.
[Sleepy Suspect]: I suggest the company hurry up and protect our baby girl. This None of Your Peace might do something else extreme.
[Drop a Turd]: Dropping a turd, dropping a turd. Looking forward to a twist.
The incident made quite an impact online, and it happened to be eight in the evening, when people were relaxing. A crowd of people bored of playing on their phones watched with relish.
More netizens had brains these days. They no longer joined in the frenzied abuse over online incidents as they once had. In particular, some people who had followed None of Your Peace did not believe he could be so despicable.
Seeing the direction things were taking online, Light of Xingluo grew frantic, pulled Li Yi into a private group of several top fans, and rattled off a stream of messages.
Light of Xingluo: Brother Guan, say something! Why exactly did you leave the fandom? We're not strangers. We've all been with you for years. If you're having trouble, tell us. Anyway, I don't believe what they're saying online.
Luo Bao Ball: Bro, I don't believe it either. I believe you.
Honest People Don't Fart in Secret: Whatever else, I trust Brother Guan's character. You were the one who bought my ticket back then so I could see my idol up close.
Short-Circuited Antenna Baby: Bro, just tell us what you need us to do.
None of Your Peace: Do you really believe me?
Light of Xingluo: Isn't that obvious? Hurry up and tell us. [angry chick.gif]

These are all evidence of Lu Xingluo throwing her weight around in private, bullying minor celebrities, insulting elderly people, forcibly taking higher billing, and mocking other celebrities. I've had them for a long time, but I never posted them because I still wanted to give her a chance. I never expected her to become even more outrageous.
The variety show she's going to appear on in two weeks was actually taken from someone else.
Light of Xingluo: [flips table.gif] I never imagined the person I liked was such a vicious woman! Disgusting. I'm done being her fan too.
Honest People Don't Fart in Secret: Just watching this makes me furious. How can someone act like a good girl to your face and be so vicious behind your back? And to think I went through so much trouble to go support her back then. Every time she got attacked, I stayed up all night fighting her haters.
Short-Circuited Antenna Baby: Ugh, I'm going to puke. I used to think her smile was so sweet. Now I just find it disgusting. How does she have the nerve to call someone her senior while spreading sexual rumors about them behind their back?
Luo Bao Ball: Ah! I supported this minor celebrity before. Back then, I thought that idol drama would make her a little famous, but she never got any opportunities afterward. She might have worked so hard to land this variety show, only for Lu Xingluo to steal it.
Light of Xingluo: No! I'm exposing her. Damn it, my idol came crashing down out of nowhere. We can't be the only ones whose idol collapses. Let's bring everyone's down together!
Short-Circuited Antenna Baby: Let's do it, let's do it. Make it big.
Light of Xingluo: I've got a little money. I'll find a few more big gossip accounts to push this and get her onto the Weibo trending searches. Then I'll buy a few more lower-ranked trending spots afterward and fan the flames even higher~
Luo Bao Ball: All hail Brother Light!
Reading the messages on QQ, Li Yi's lips curled into a cold smile. Lu Xingluo wanted to incite her fans to cyberbully him, never imagining that he had more dirt on her than anyone could count.
From now on, he would let her have a taste of cyberbullying.
His fingers moved, typing a few lines of code.
In an instant, the tide online rapidly turned.
Several of Lu Xingluo's top fans, famous for protecting their baby girl, abandoned her one after another, deleted all information about her, and immediately turned against her.
The release of several high-definition videos delivered a resounding slap in the face to the netizens who had been attacking None of Your Peace!
Even the fans in the fan group felt as disgusted as if they had eaten rat droppings. Some stopped being fans, others left the group, and only a bunch of stubborn, brainless fans held on.
[Motherland's Man-Eating Flower]: No wonder None of Your Peace stopped being a fan. He really had been disgusted too many times. Those still insisting on defending Lu Xingluo are probably the sort who enjoy eating shit.
[Meddling Custodian]: Thinking about the press statement Lu Xingluo's team released is killing me. None of Your Peace just deleted his posts and left the fandom out of disgust, and they rushed to smear him. They're so good at passing the buck, was everyone on Lu Xingluo's team a chef?
[Triangle Cat]: These videos are doctored! Our sweet baby girl would never do anything like this!
[Simp Dog]: Those still supporting Lu Xingluo would still be drooling even after treatment.
[Heartless Stepmom]: That minor celebrity has already come forward to testify that your precious baby girl stole the variety show from her. You fans' IQs aren't even as high as my great-aunt's blood pressure. Ptooey!
"What are you people doing? Why haven't you taken those videos down yet?" Reading the comments cursing her online, Lu Xingluo was so furious that she smashed the glass of water on the table.
"For some reason, every time the hackers we hired delete one video, ten more pop up online. The more they delete, the more there are. They simply can't delete them all," her assistant answered quietly.
"Why was it so easy to delete them before?" Lu Xingluo roared. "Every time something was posted, it would be completely wiped out within ten minutes!"
"Before, None of Your Peace was the one deleting them..." her assistant said quietly. "But now we've thoroughly offended him. There's no way he'll step in to help us delete the videos."
