Although Ning Xia was the victim in the riot incident, the scandal about her being the "other woman" spread wider and wider, trending on Weibo hot search without fail. Her popularity remained high, with netizens believing she deserved it. Tempting someone else's fiancé, a homewrecker who disrupts other's relationships didn't deserve sympathy.
Her image suffered severe damage, and consequently, the jewelry brand faced a public relations crisis. Endorsing a "mistress" to represent a product that symbolizes lifelong companionship for couples was simply ridiculous.
Due to this, the jewelry company demanded compensation for damage to their reputation. It was not a small amount, and they also blacklisted her, insisting they would not employ artists of poor moral character.
All of Ning Xia's previous efforts paled in comparison to the stain of being labeled the "mistress." As soon as the label was affixed, her future was ruined.
