Hua Hongyu joins a reality show whose guests have almost all been caught up in her publicity stunts. Online, people bet she'll be ostracized. After filming wraps, the guests post one after another: Idol-type, chessboard demon, top-tier male star: @Hua Hongyu, you're my friend's childhood sweetheart. Do you still remember the bond we shared back then? Trending topic +1. Hua Hongyu: You made up a friend, and now you've made up our bond. I don't know you. Accomplished actress, butterfly spirit, mid-tier star: @Hua Hongyu, I'll never forget how you saved my life back then. Trending topic +2. Hua Hongyu: You made up a debt of gratitude. I don't know you either. Both stars' fans: Your seniors are kindly giving you a boost. Don't you know how to be polite? The next day, faced with their fans' accusations, the stars themselves each posted thousand-word essays clearing Hua Hongyu's name. Netizens: What's going on with you two? She's a nobody. Why are you sucking up to her like this? Later, netizens noticed that no matter what show Hua Hongyu appeared on, her fellow guests would inevitably shower her with praise afterward. Netizens: I'm done. I'll just quietly watch the drama unfold. By the way, what's Hua Hongyu's background? Blurb for the new novel, Offering a Heart to Our Ancestor~ Qin Hongke is a spirit born from an elixir of immortality. The people who want to eat her are so numerous they could circle the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor three hundred times. To repay a debt of gratitude, she willingly offers herself to the Xu family's ancestor, a short-lived man who damaged his body through cultivation and can only live to thirty. Xu Jian scoffed. "Eat an elixir of immortality? I chose this path, so I've been prepared for this all along. Kid, stay away from me. I'm not eating you." Xu Jian's subordinates were used to the arrogant, anything-goes lifestyle of Xu Jian, the empire's number-one ability user, who feared no one and did whatever he pleased. They thought they'd live carefree like that forever. Then one day, a young girl appeared behind Xu Jian, following him around like a little tail. The absurd part was that although their ancestor kept telling her, "Stay away from me," he always let her follow him. He even secretly chased off every suitor who approached her, like a possessive guard dog. Even more absurdly, Xu Jian started taking their whole crew of rugged men to girly pink dessert shops packed with young women. Xu Jian picked a strawberry ice cream and used his water ability, which had slain countless enemies, to form a shell of ice around it. He kept adjusting the thickness of the ice, completely unconcerned that he looked like a ferocious bandit about to storm the shop. Carefully, he asked the owner, "What temperature keeps this overly sweet little thing the sweetest?" The owner looked a little stunned. "It's sweetest if you eat it right away." Xu Jian: "It's for my wife." His rugged subordinates: A wife, all of a sudden??? After leaving the dessert shop, Xu Jian looked at his subordinates, who were gaping in confusion, and smiled smugly despite himself. "This little thing isn't half as sweet as my wife. You're all single dogs. You wouldn't understand." His rugged subordinates: ??? What are you so proud of? You made the girl angry in a fight yesterday, and now you're practically skipping off to apologize. You know what you're doing? If you're man enough to argue, then don't go apologizing! Theme:
