I Can't Keep Pretending to Be a Professional Hater

[Please save my new neighbor's story, I Went to Visit My Nemesis's Grave and Angered Him Back to Life!] Xie Chen woke up one morning and suddenly discovered that he was the vicious antagonist in an entertainment-industry novel. Every day, he did nothing but act and oppose the protagonist, Shao Chen. In private, he was the protagonist's number-one hater, leading an army of haters in a frenzy of self-destructive antics. Eventually, someone uncovered countless of his hater accounts, and his ending was utterly miserable. After becoming self-aware, Xie Chen decided to stay on the hater path and leave the haters with no way forward. Xie Chen edited a compilation of Shao Chen's best acting moments and posted it online: #Seriously, Shao Chen's acting is good enough to win an award? Look at how awful his acting is. If this gets ten million views, I'll livestream myself eating a keyboard! --That day, Shao Chen gained thirty thousand followers, many of them former haters turned fans. Xie Chen bought every product Shao Chen endorsed and made a video reviewing them: #This is hilarious. Who do they think they're fooling with something this cheap and shabby? I'm saying Shao Chen is a washed-up nobody who can't land a high-end endorsement. Anyone disagree? --That day, the products Shao Chen endorsed sold out, and the reviews poured in. Xie Chen made 108 accounts to vote for Shao Chen, then turned around and posted the voting link in the hater group: #Shao Chen said he doesn't want to win! He must be afraid he doesn't deserve it, guys, so let's get moving! Start voting! Today I want to see Shao Chen give his acceptance speech with a face full of shame! --That day, Shao Chen won easily, with several times as many votes as the runner-up. As the protagonist grew more and more famous, Xie Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. I'd done so much for him. He must understand, right? Of course Shao Chen understood. So he dragged Xie Chen out from the corner, where he'd been voting for him with an alternate account. Having caught him red-handed, Shao Chen asked with a smile, “Still going to say you don't like me?” Xie Chen: ...No! That's not what I meant! - Later, the haters discovered that their leader was co-starring with Shao Chen in a danmei movie. Haters: You've changed!!! Xie Chen: No, I still get scared of myself when I insult him. Haters: Why are you filming with him? Xie Chen: Can't I insult him to his face? Haters: Then how do you explain going into a hotel room with him? Xie Chen: You can't insult people in bed? Is your approach to being a hater really that narrow? Haters: ...Listen to yourself. Does that sound like something a human would say? Later still, Xie Chen, the head hater who'd vowed to “insult the movie emperor until he cried,” clutched a pillow and sobbed all night.

There, he was told that Wu Jiu had left his entire enormous fortune to him. There was just one condition: he had to visit Wu Jiu's grave every week. Zhu Xiao agreed. - Zhu Xiao always felt that Wu Jiu wasn't dead. So he made a point of doing every disrespectful thing he could think of, including dancing and eating fried chicken on Wu Jiu's grave. The goal was to annoy the dead man so badly that he'd open his eyes and kick the coffin lid right off. Then he was forced to download an app called Yin Yang Connect on his phone, and an anonymous contact sent him a message. [You're something else, eating like a pig on my grave.] Zhu Xiao sent back a question mark, then replied: [Who are you?] Then he asked: [What do you want?] [Wu Jiu.] The other person edited and re-edited his message. After a long while, he finally said awkwardly: [Burn me a photo of yourself.] - One day, Zhu Xiao asked a lawyer how he should handle the enormous fortune Wu Jiu had left behind. His phone began vibrating like crazy. When he opened it, he found nothing but messages from the Yin Yang Connect app. [? Who's that guy next to you?] [Why are you smiling at him?] [You even brought him to my grave?] [Unbelievable. You really pissed me back to life even though I'm dead!] The next day, when Zhu Xiao stepped outside, he saw his nemesis, who had been dead for ages, squatting outside his home like a mushroom.
