Liu Yiyi had resigned from Yan City TV after the last "video gate" scandal. Before she approached Qin Zhiyou, she had also accepted benefits from Qin Weijia, but since the "video gate," Qin Weijia, seeing no hope in her turning her situation around, stopped caring about her altogether.
Moreover, around that same time, the relationship between Lu Weixi and Qin Zhiyou had grown closer, leading Qin Weijia to increasingly dismiss her as having no value, even despising her. Liu Yiyi lost her job, countless endorsements, and had to compensate her collaborators for their losses, enduring the mockery and sarcasm of those around her. Juniors who had once been inferior to her strutted about, emboldened above her, and her original financial team also left her, making it seem as if she had been abandoned by the whole world.
