Su Yunxin opened her eyes, the environment around her was both strange and familiar. She was lying on a leather couch, covered in a thin quilt while a dazzling crystal chandelier hung above her. The sounds of busy chatter and intense arguments flooded her ears.
“Yunxin has already fainted due to your constant nagging, what else do you want? Are you happy to see her suffer? It is not her fault that she was mistakenly taken for someone else! Why are you blaming her for stealing someone else's life? If we have to blame someone, isn't it on the nurse who switched the babies?”
Su Yunxin looked up and saw a flamboyantly dressed woman yelling at a group of workers holding camera equipment.
Facing her was a large LCD screen, continuously refreshing with rolling comments in various colors.
【666, this is just a diversion! Why don't you address why Su Yunxin wound up in Huo Yan’s bed? As if stealing the identity of a real heiress wasn't enough, you still continue to pursue Huo Yan, who is engaged to Zhou Shuya. You really have no shame!】
【Su Yunxin, get out of the entertainment industry! I was your fan once, but not anymore. No matter what others said about you, I didn’t care. But I didn't expect your character to be such a disgrace! Even if you want to be a home-wrecker, at least have some self-respect! Your face makes me sick!】
【Su Yunxin, you must apologize to Zhou Shuya immediately! Do you know that Shuya fainted on set when she saw the pictures of you and Huo Yan? Stop feigning innocence! Apologize now! Or your reputation will be ruined!】
【Hmm, our Shuya is just too kind-hearted. She loved Huo Yan so deeply but to think she’d be robbed by an impostor. Why should Shuya suffer so much? As if being mistreated by Su Yunxin's real parents wasn't enough, her fiancé is now tarnished by this woman! It's simply inhuman!】
【What's with the pathetic act now! Didn't you attend this live broadcast to apologize to Shuya? Why are you playing the victim now? Even if you apologize now, it won't help! You incompetent person, just get out of the entertainment industry. I call on the government to ban this disgusting woman immediately!】
Su Yunxin rubbed her weary eyes.
The familiar scene revived her long-suppressed memory.
After successfully navigating countless worldly missions, she finally ended up in her first life.
Su Yunxin was a mistakenly adopted heiress. She was accidentally switched by a nurse when still in swaddling clothes and lived in a wealthy family for a whole twenty years.
But life among the bourgeoisie wasn’t as luxurious as one would think. In fact, the Zhou family, valuing sons over daughters, always overlooked her existence. No matter what she did, they never satisfied. They always treated her as less important than her brothers. As a result, she was raised by a nanny.
At the age of twenty, Su Yunxin was discovered by a talent scout and entered the entertainment industry.
Suyun Xin, who grew up under cold indifference, had developed a docile and people-pleasing personality. Working her bones bare to improve her acting skills, she strove to be a crowd's favorite.
Little did she know that after her breakthrough in a low-budget web series, her filthy rich parents abruptly announced the arrival of their biological daughter.
Caught off guard completely, before she could understand what was happening, Suyun Xin was intoxicated by her adoptive parents, and sent to the bed of Zhou Shuyu's betrothed - Huo Yan.
What's worse, numerous reporters were notified. They forcibly stormed the room, capturing suggestive pictures of her with Huo Yan.
Once the images circulated, fans that were previously mesmerized by her acting skills and beauty abandoned ship one after another. With discrediting pieces about her floating all over the internet, Suyun Xin became the victim of mass cyberbullying. The extent of the abhorrence was such that she received a dead rat and a bloodstained knife from fans in the mail.
The timid and feeble Suyun Xin at that time, didn't know how to deal with such rampant hostility. She could only follow her manager's advice and explain the situation on a live broadcast.
But her explanations only made things worse. The venomous curses on the screen made her faint from anxiety and despair.
In stark contrast, the true daughter, Zhou Shuyu, was gentle, generous, humble, and polite. Compared to the tongue-tied and dim-witted Suyun Xin, Zhou Shuyu was undoubtedly more endearing.
Even the Zhou family, infamous for their preference of sons over daughters, were extremely satisfied with their biological daughter. They had no qualms about clearing Zhou Shuyu's path of her inconvenient fiance, Huo Yan, scheming again to victimize Suyun Xin.
Remembering her memories from her past life, a chill ran through Suyun Xin's deep black eyes.
The Zhou family looked down on Huo Yan due to his humble origins, meaning he was unfit for Zhou Shuyu.
Being aware of her noble status, Zhou Shuyu too didn't fancy her betrothed fiance. Thus, their family established a win-win— discarding Huo Yan, the loser, and taking advantage of the recently popular Suyun Xin to gain attention and buzz.
Later, Zhou Shuyu's position in the entertainment circle kept ascending, while Suyun Xin suffered from severe mental illness and jumped off a high-rise building in her confused state.
Her death attracted neither sympathy nor compassion. Only more mockery and derision followed, with countless people suggesting she deserved such an end. Zhou Shuyu, on the other hand, played the victim card yet again, drawing the public's pity and achieving her career peak.
Only after Suyun Xin's death did she find out the shocking truth. Her worsening mental illness was a result of long-term drugging by the Zhou family. Even her fatal fall from the building was a well-plotted scheme by the Zhou family.
These people had stepped on her bones and blood to get better, and Zhou Shuya had even become a top-tier female star, loved by everyone.
Yet, when she, Su Yunxin, was mentioned casually, there was only scorn and defamation. She was just like the despised cannon fodder in novels.
For the first time, Su Yunxin understood what it meant to be unwilling, and what is hatred!
She thought she would die, forced to watch the Zhou family in its glory. Yet for some strange reason, she was suddenly bound to a system.
Determined to take revenge with her own hands, she agreed to the system's conditions, and embarked on countless missions in different worlds.
Finally, after perishing together with the queen bee of the Insect race in her last mission and earning a perfect mission rating, she was reborn!
The current situation seemed to be her first livestream show after her secrets were exposed to the whole network.
It was precisely the failure of this livestream that led her to mental collapse, to the point where she didn't even notice that she had been drugged.
"Miss Su Yunxin, now that you're awake, please admit in front of all your fans, did you deliberately snatch Miss Zhou Shuya's fiance?"
As she woke up, the incessant host continued her questions.
The live-streaming camera was almost pushed into her face. The staff at the show looked at her with clear distaste.
During her first life, she was completely oblivious to these people's malice.
However, after experiencing countless life-and-death missions, she was no longer the weak and pitiful little girl from her past life.
She could now clearly see the true faces of these people through those eyes of hers.
The popularity of the live broadcast room had already reached ten million.
The bullet-screen comments were still refreshing at incredible speed.
【Haha, look at her pretending to be an innocent lotus, trying to play the victim here? Sorry, not buying it!】
【Die, Su Yunxin! Die, you shameless homewrecker!】
【Am I the only one who thinks she looks quite pitiful? I believe we shouldn't be so harsh without knowing the full truth. From what I can see, Su Yunxin doesn't seem to be that kind of person.】
【Still defending her, huh? How much are you getting paid? I'd like to join the group.】
【The evidence is all over the trending list. If you're blind and can't see, don't blame us for cyberbullying. Are you like your mistress, enjoying stealing other people's partners?】
Under the spotlight, Su Yunxin's face was pale due to lack of sleep.
Her skin was originally fair and smooth. As she showed her bare face to the camera, her feathery thick eyelashes gently curled upward. A layer of mist covered her clear, shiny black eyes, making her look innocent and pitiful.
The comments paused for a moment even those who were cursing her fiercely had to admit that Su Yunxin's beauty was stunning.
Such a beautiful woman would have been a big hit if it wasn't for this scandal. It was puzzling why she would become embroiled in it.
Occasionally, comments praising her looks fluttered across the screen, but they were quickly drowned by a barrage of harsh words.
Su Yunxin's eyelashes fluttered slightly, her clear, radiant eyes were filled with a breathtaking determination and beauty.
"I have never interfered in anyone else's relationship, and I have never stolen anyone's fiancé." Her tender lips softly spoke, her voice gentle and melodious, "Regarding all the slander and false accusations made by various marketing accounts, I will deal with them through legal means. As for the truth of the matter..."
A faint chill crossed Su Yunxin's lips, "I will collect all the evidence and make it public. All those who have insulted me with their comments are advised to delete them immediately, or I will take legal action to protect my reputation as a citizen."
Once these words were spoken, not only were the on-site staff stunned, but the live broadcast room instantly exploded.
The screen is almost filled with an overwhelming number of live comments, filled with all kinds of offensive outbursts abound with a strong air of malevolence.
The female host looked at Su Yunxin in astonishment, not having expected this soft-spoken young actress would dare to lash out at her fans in such a way.
Didn't they agree to broadcast an apology?
What's going on?
Subconsciously, the female host looked towards Su Yunxin's agent, Qin Yi. Seeing her also looking bewildered, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and continue questioning, "The photo is already rock-solid proof, does Miss Su Yunxin have any evidence to counter? So many people saw you and Mr. Huo Yan lying disheveled on the bed, how do you plan to clear your name?"
Such live-streaming shows often depend on stirring up noise to attract viewers.
And there are no scripted dialogues, the host's questions also represent the voice of the public.
Everyone thinks Su Yunxin has gone mad, are those mosaic censored photos fake?
Caught in an intimate setting with a man, how do you plan to clear this undeniable evidence?
"Sorry, it's confidential for now."
Su Yunxin replied with a faint smile, without answering the host's malicious questioning.
She got up, her face still pale, looked at Qin Yi and said, "Sister Qin Yi, let's go."
After her rebirth, she found out how terrible her body had been before. The heavy fatigue felt like she was dragging hundreds of pounds. Now she only wanted to go back and get a good rest.
"Today’s episode of 'The Real You' comes to an end here. Dear viewers, as you have seen, Miss Su Yunxin's response to the recent scandal, Su Yunxin seems very confident, does she really have any evidence to prove her innocence?"
The female host continues to smile stiffly.
Behind schedule, she could only maintain the popularity of the live broadcast room through other means.
The audience's dissatisfaction towards Su Yunxuan was also extremely high.
They felt that she didn't respect the host and the show at all, as she left quite shortly after the recording started.
Surely, she must be scared to respond.
Whatever evidence she mentioned, they were sure it was just a bluff.
They certainly wanted to see how this mistress planned on clearing her name!
