WBSGVS Chapter 230 V2

After all, the male lead wasn’t shipping with the female lead. He was being paired with the director. Wouldn’t that gross people out?

But then he read the comments:

LMAO, Ning Xi’s out here hugging a golden thigh now? Legend.

This is amazing. I’ve always wanted Liuli to cuck He Tianzhuo. If this is real, I’m going to unlock VIP early access just to celebrate!

[“I can accept anything being said about Ning Xi, but not this. Ning Xi, that goofball, knows how to cozy up to someone powerful? If he did, would he have been stuck in obscurity for so long he almost had to quit the industry and go work on a construction site?!” (If this is real, please, Liu Li, take good care of that silly kid 🐶)]

[“As a Ning Xi fangirl, this is hard to watch…”]

Seeing this comment gave He Tianzhuo a brief moment of relief. But then he refreshed the page, and the comments under it were all:

[@Ning Xi, come see this, you have fangirls now! Never thought I’d live to see the day!]
[Oh my god, even Ning Xi has fangirls, and here I am still single!]
[Ning Xi, don’t get cocky—she probably just hasn’t seen how dumb you are. Look at this pic I saved—(image)]

He Tianzhuo stared at the comment section, which was the complete opposite of what he had hoped for, and took a deep breath to calm himself.

But damn it, he couldn’t calm down!

Su Qingli’s eight-word post had completely flipped the benefit of Su Yan and Zhao Muyun’s romance reveal into a backlash. Meanwhile, he had poured out over a thousand words—complete with photos—and it hadn’t dented Fengsha’s popularity in the slightest. How was that fair?!

Bang!
His phone smashed into the wall, breaking into several pieces.

Achoo!
Qingli sneezed.

That one moment of distraction caused her game character to die. She looked at the gray screen, then flopped back lazily to rest. Playing games was exhausting—way more so than writing those eight words.

It wasn’t just the hands; the brain had to work too.

Over the voice chat, Ning Xi called out, “Director Su! Why did you die? Hahaha! And here you were saying how good you are. Watch me—I’ll avenge you!”

Qingli watched him charge straight at the enemy, and her eyelid twitched. “Fall back!”

But it was too late. As he reached mid-map, three opponents jumped out of the bushes and obliterated him in seconds.

“Waaah! Director Su, why didn’t you warn me sooner?” Ning Xi whined. “They were lying in wait!”

Qingli didn’t bother replying. Her character had just respawned.

Ning Xi, completely unbothered by her silence, eagerly shouted, “Avenge me! Take them out, Director Su~!”

Qingli stayed quiet and focused on the game, though part of her mind was still on what was happening on Weibo.

How much fallout would Su Yan and Zhao Muyun’s relationship reveal bring to Royal Power? Her post had stirred up quite a reaction, but if netizens got too curious and started digging deeper, things might spiral.

Just then, her eldest brother from the Su family called.

She declined it instantly and added him to her blocked list.

No need to guess—it was obviously about the Weibo post.

She wasn’t changing a thing. That post wasn’t a random outburst. It reflected exactly what the original owner of this body had felt in her heart.

Women often softened when they shouldn’t—especially when they’d invested deeply. That’s why both He Tianzhuo and Su Yan had been the original Su Qingli’s weak spots. After getting hurt again and again, she had finally hardened her heart.

But not every wound comes with a second chance to heal.

Su Qingli had lost everything because of her softness and hesitation. The person she hated most was He Tianzhuo, but the one she resented the most was Su Yan.

Anyone else could hurt or insult her, but not them. Especially not Su Yan. She had done more for him than even his parents.

And yet, he still had the nerve to ignore her feelings and date Zhao Muyun.

Those eight words were simple but carried the full weight of the original Su Qingli’s heartbreak.

For the Su family to call her instead of holding Su Yan accountable… it really was because the original her had been too gentle. Too bad that now, it was her.

Once the game ended, Qingli’s fingers were sore. “I’m done for today.”

“Wait! Don’t log off just yet!” Ning Xi called out excitedly.

“Hm?” Qingli yawned.

“Cough… I just sent you something,” he mumbled.

“Why are you whispering?” Qingli opened her phone. A WeChat message came in—a screenshot.

[Shocking! The lead actor of Fengsha…]

It was a long image. She scrolled for a while before finally chuckling. “Not bad. Pretty convincing!”

Had to be that dog, He Tianzhuo behind this!

Ning Xi shouted, “What?! That’s so fake! There’s always a whole group of us—my assistant, Kong Li, her assistant—we’re never alone! I don’t even know how they cooked this story up! You know what? Let’s go out just the two of us tonight and give them something to talk about.”

Qingli blinked in surprise. “You’re trying to stir the pot?”

Ning Xi, totally justified, said, “Don’t tell me you don’t want to stir the pot? That photo you made me take five years ago—don’t think I don’t know what it was for!”

Qingli laughed and nodded. “Alright. I do want to stir the pot. But are you sure you can handle it?”

“Absolutely!” Ning Xi pounded his chest. “You gave me my big break—I’d go through fire and hell for you!”

Qingli blinked innocently and sat up straighter.

That night, [#NingXiSeenVisitingFengshaDirectorLateAtNight] shot straight to trending.

And this time, the evidence was solid—none of that blurry, speculative nonsense. There was a clear photo of a young man in pajamas opening the door to a woman carrying several large shopping bags.

Late at night. That many bags.

Was this… cohabitation?!

The internet exploded:

[Looks like Ning Xi’s matured—knows how to latch onto a powerful figure now!]
[Can’t believe it… Is he living with the director?!]

And He Tianzhuo’s newly replaced phone?
It didn’t survive the night either.
