The obscure actor Song Zhao died suddenly on set and was bound to the "Top-Tier Star Life-Extension System."
System: [Want to come back to life? Just become famous. For every ten thousand new followers, you'll get another month to live.]
Song Zhao: This golden finger is a masterpiece, if I do say so myself!
System: [...I forgot to mention, we only count haters.]
Song Zhao: ???
Staring at the only three zombie followers on her account, Song Zhao fell silent. To stay alive, she was forced down a deranged path to infamy:
1. She played an unparalleled villain, fought for the supporting male role's scenes, and stole the male lead's couple. The whole internet chased after her to curse her out. Haters: +10,086.
2. She filmed a series, hyped up a ship, and built an audience-friendly persona by feeding them sugar. Haters: +10,086.
3. Paparazzi caught her entering a hotel with four people at the same time. She earned herself the title of queen of the seas. Haters: +ID number.
4. Haters told her to get out of showbiz, so she posted a giveaway on Weibo in the middle of the night: Thanks, everyone, for helping me claim the number one trending spot!
Every day, the haters woke up and wondered: What stunt is that woman pulling today?
They cursed her out while boosting her popularity.
They secretly sobbed over her god-tier acting, watching her win award after award...
The haters angrily hammered at their keyboards: [We're haters! We're not blind!]
[Do you even know how to be the most hated person on the internet? Why is your acting so good!!!]
At last, at an awards ceremony, Best Actress winner Song Zhao gave her acceptance speech:
"I owe everything I am today to my haters. Thank you, my internet birth parents. Without your passionate daily abuse, the grass on my grave would be three meters tall by now."
The stars in the audience: ???
The livestream comments: ???
Haters across the internet: ??? Damn it, why do I feel like crying because I'm so moved?
[Showbiz hate-following story, lots of forum posts and stories within stories]
[The heroine is a cheerful, easygoing person who loves, loves, loves acting]
