This has to be clickbait!” “Zhang San's really that wild?” “It's true! I was at the trial. I did nothing and still got sentenced to three years!” “I can confirm! I'm the defendant's lawyer. I just got out!” … “In his previous life, he was the son of the Dragon King of the Eastern Sea. In this life, he's become a famous singer.” “He is the prophesied one, revealing heaven's secrets to the world with his uncanny ability to jinx people.” One viral video after another set the internet ablaze, and users went wild demanding updates!
