"What? He really dumped you? This jerk... Uh huh, why though?" Lu Xing didn't wait for Chen Enci's answer and couldn't help but raise her voice: "Uh huh?"
Chen Enci returned to her senses, a hint of sadness flashing across her eyes. She didn't answer Lu Xing's curiosity, instead she asked: "What's being said online?"
"Uh... Maybe it's best not to know? That... Enci, take my advice, do not go online. The netizens today are just a bunch of idiots..."
"..."
From Lu Xing's words, Chen Enci knew the online comments could not be pleasant to hear. Yet, after ending the call with Lu Xing, she juggled with the thought until she eventually couldn't resist her curiosity and opened Weibo.
The public opinion was one-sided, everyone was trashing her.
"Chen Enci? The number one social butterfly in the entertainment industry? Stop kidding!"
"Just seeing the name 'Chen Enci' is incredibly annoying, whatever she does, I always think of one word, flirt!"
"Her face screams sly fox, no, she IS a vixen, she must have slept with all the industry's big shot investors, right?"
"Damn it, why did my idol get together with her in the first place? Was he blind?"
"Why was he blind, not stupid?"
"Reply to the above, no matter how promiscuous and flirtatious Chen Enci is, I still respect her looks, so I can't accuse her of being ugly."
"Whenever I think of Chen Enci, it makes me sick to imagine her in different beds every night, calling different men 'daddy'!"
"..."
Seeing the netizens calling her a whore and accusing her of not being worthy of Qin Jie, Chen Enci, mustering up all her strength to resist the urge to create countless accounts to curse them, tossed her phone aside and went to take a shower.
After the shower, Chen Enci remembered the online comments calling her a vixen. She couldn't help but study herself in the mirror, examining her facial features closely.
Her beauty was undeniable, so unbelievably... capturing to the point that, even in non-filtered, unretouched, candid street photos, she was, without a doubt, among the most resilient individuals in the entire entertainment industry.
It was precisely because she was so beautiful that she rose to fame from a mere twenty-second appearance. Afterward, she — a newcomer with no background, no resources, no backing whatsoever — managed to land several roles, ranging from secondary to tertiary female characters. Once the dramas were aired, all discussions revolved around her, overshadowing the famous lead actresses paired with her.
Chen Enci had been hugely popular at that time. People raved about her once-in-a-century beauty, saying her face was born to be seen on the big screen... She had been overly popular, to an extent where, as the saying goes, "Overly strong trees are cut, The flame leapt up from under", she'd blocked too many people's path, so they set her up...
Up till now, she still didn't know who started the rumor of her being the number one social butterfly of the entertainment industry, sleeping with all the big shot investors, renowned directors and A-list male actors. Ever since then, all the actresses who had been fighting behind the scenes came together surprisingly united, implicitly guiding public opinion online. The soon-to-be-successful Chen Enci was torn apart and became the object of everyone's criticism, an everlasting sly vixen.
