Not Good Enough? Thousands of People Are DMing Me to Give Up My Wife

I casually posted a video of my wife eating breakfast on Douyin.

By that afternoon, my phone had blown up. Two million comments, all saying I didn't deserve her.

Someone offered half a million to buy her. Someone else offered three demolition-compensation apartments in exchange for her. One person camped outside my home for three days just to steal the nightdress she'd worn.

Even my mom called to ask if I was holding that poor girl back.

I'm a programmer who got fired by a big tech company and now delivers food. Everyone thinks I'm a loser.

But they don't know that the IP addresses of the troll accounts, the metadata in the fabricated chat logs, and the registration patterns of the online harassers are all right under my nose.

I don't hack into any systems. I just use public data to write a seven-hundred-page analysis report.

I handed it over to the police. Later, the MCN agency owner who hired the trolls was sentenced to five years in prison.

Later, the university senior who had been pulling the strings from the shadows was arrested at the airport.

Later, no one dared send me a private message telling me to hand over my wife.

But I'm not done with the nightdress incident yet.
