Chapter 56: Insulting Me? You Better Watch Out
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

The sight on her screen was beyond belief. The moment she refreshed her screen, comments came crashing at her like a flash flood. Not only were these comments about her, they were all spiteful attacks on her.

Instantly, they swarmed the entire Weibo forums.

What? How is this possible?

Jinli was perplexed.

This must be the work of Keyboard Warriors. Someone hired them. Someone is against me… Who could this be?

Quickly tapping onto the previous forum, she saw the same sight. Comments cramming her screen, all of them slander about her.

Staring at this upsetting sight, deep valleys grew in the skin of her forehead.

…

At the same time, another man was also on Weibo.

The instant Jinli hit the trending pages again, he was alerted.

As he saw her increasing popularity, euphoria lifted his cheeks. He was truly elated, but something was not quite right about these comments….

What nonsense! Love at first sight?

What High CP balcony scenes?

What pairing of a gorgeous woman and talented man?

What is this fallacious Heaven’s Pairing?

His smiled drooped and drooped as he went deeper and deeper into the forums.

How blind must this editor be to see them as an ideal pair!

Deep breaths heaved through him as he suppressed his brewing dissatisfaction. Alas, it burst. With his newly created smurf account as he debuted in the threads:

[LZY]: I think… they don’t fit well at all!

What an intense moment it was for him! He had even used an exclamation mark! This may not seem like much, but it definitely showed the heavy emphasis this stoic man had on the incident.

Too bad for him, the inconspicuous and bland hate speech was quickly swallowed by the whirlpool of netizens. Literally, no one cared. Not a single soul.

These gusts of disregard fanned Lu Zhengya’s flames of dissatisfaction further. Just as he wallowed in his silent and stubborn anger, anti-fans popped onto his screen from every corner.

Within moments, the gazillions of hate comments usurped the positions of all the comments, regardless of the topics, fangirling over her cuteness, the pairing, or simply love. Every line and word was drowned.

It stinks. The blatant, offensive attack reeked of Keyboard Warriors to Lu Zhengya.

Somebody was slandering Jinli. Someone dared to stage an outright assault on his woman

As the realisation sparked within him, Lu Zhengya could almost feel the impact from his sub-standard mood crashing to rock bottom.

This woman, Jinli, may have been flawed in uncountable ways. She even dared to turn down the gift that he had spent countless hours planning. But, this did not warrant any of these bastards playing a part in scorning her.

The moment these vicious thoughts surfaced, Bai Yan had work to do.

“10 minutes. Wipe out all these comments.” Lu Zhengya’s voice reverted through the speakers, his tone as cold as absolute zero.

“Yes, yes.” Chills pierced through Bai Yan’s spine with every word he heard.

As he began his plans, his head shook in pity.

Looks like another company will cease to exist yet again.

…

On the other side, Jinli’s Weibo was updated again:

@AhJinLisAKoi: (image)

This time, it was a watercolour painting of an incredibly lifelike Koi fish. It was her most recent work, the paint had barely dried. Even to the art newbies, they could tell the intricacies and realism of the koi fish. Any layman could imagine it splashing out of the paper in the blink of an eye.

No matter how evocative it may have been, it was undeniably random.

Fans from both sides were befuddled.

Praying for good luck?

Showing off?

Whatever! Let’s blow this up first!

In the meantime, Jinli had just laid down her calligraphy brush. Gently picking up her masterpiece, she lightly blew it dry. Admiring her talents, her eyes lifted into a thin line.

Still so flawless. I may not have lifted my brushes for ages, my skills are still so impeccable. No… I seemed to have gotten better!

With her hands fanning the paper, her gaze slanted to the phone.

Hmph! Must have been too nice to these Humans in this short time in here. That’s why they all pick on me.

…

With the introduction of the artwork, the overbearing slander vanished almost instantly.

The uncanny sight pried Jinli’s eyes open. Her gaze flashed back and forth between her Koi drawing and the screen.

What in the Heavens? This is so effective?

After he had coerced the company to remove all the comments, the Keyboard Warrior Hunter Bai Yan was equally dumbstruck.

The hacker he hired had just watched the Keyboard Warrior company management as if they were possessed, revealing all of their top-secret information onto the net.

Their stupidity was to the extent that the hacker stated, “The company was too idiotic. I did not do anything worthy here. I will not take payment.”
