After being forced out of work, Shi Jiu started a social media account to make a living.
Two months passed, and the account had barely gained any followers.
By chance, he helped someone tear into a scumbag and got his first taste of traffic. From then on, he began offering "insult-for-hire" services.
Business went smoothly until one day he insulted the popular star Nian Hua.
Nian Hua's fans swarmed his account to fight with him, and Shi Jiu finally experienced what it meant to be crushed by a flood of traffic.
Shi Jiu was determined not to lose face. Tsk, all girlfriend fans, huh? I'll gross you out.
Shi Jiu changed tactics and started making up "The Story of Me and the Two-Timing Nian Hua." With Nian Hua's antis fanning the flames, it took the internet by storm.
One day, Shi Jiu logged in and found his inbox overflowing.
Had he suddenly become famous?
Confused, Shi Jiu opened his messages and saw that [Nian Hua V] had followed him.
Nian Hua's fans: ???
Nian Hua's antis: ???
Onlookers: We thought it was just a made-up story! We didn't mean to ship such a cultish couple!

Here's the blurb for the upcoming novel Finding Treasures Overseas:
When Bai Wangwan was eight, he saved a blue-eyed, blond foreign old man in the deep mountains and forests near his hometown.
The old man spoke strange Chinese. "I'll give you a pair of discerning eyes, so you can see the world clearly, just as it is."
The precocious Bai Wangwan replied, "You don't have to thank me with a gift. Just say thank you. Let's not change the lyrics out of nowhere."
Before leaving, the old man gave him a pendant and said it would clear the clouds and help him recognize real treasures.
Later, Bai Wangwan studied archaeology, though it had nothing to do with the old man. It was simply his personal interest.
He had hoped the pendant might be a cheat item, but after walking around Panjiayuan eight hundred times, it hadn't reacted once.
Bai Wangwan wasn't disappointed. After all, the standard setup for a protagonist with a miraculous encounter was "an abusive father, a crazy mother, a disabled younger brother, and a broken self." Someone like him, whose life had always been peaceful and smooth, wasn't qualified.
The economy slumped, and Bai Wangwan was unemployed as soon as he graduated. Luckily, his family was well off, so he decided to get an easy foreign master's degree and work part-time as a travel streamer.
When he arrived in Sam's Country, a local Chinese friend invited him to a customs warehouse auction.
Unclaimed shipping containers would be numbered and auctioned off. Buyers could learn basic information about each container, inspect it from the outside, and bid at their own risk.
The bidders' fortunes were mixed, and Bai Wangwan was happy to watch.
But as he was about to leave, he passed Auction Container No. 16, and the pendant around his neck suddenly turned scorching hot.
Bai Wangwan: ???
So the pendant really was a cheat item? Its home turf was just overseas?
Zhu Xianqi, the only son of a jewelry tycoon in Sam's Country.
With no room left to expand his business empire, he decided to branch out into antiques.
His first attempt went badly. The so-called experts working for him bought a fake on their very first purchase.
Zhu Xianqi was in a cafe when he heard the news. He yelled into the phone, "Even if I sold you, I couldn't cover the losses!" In his anger, he misspoke: "Why don't you sell me instead?"
A handsome young man sat down across from him and said with righteous sincerity, "Life is long. Don't act on impulse, or you'll regret it when you look back."
Later, he became the young man's sidekick, with a salary, commission, and someone who cared for him.
Everything was great, except that the young man thought his backstory was "an abusive father, a crazy mother, a disabled younger brother, and a broken self."
Until one day, he took leave to represent his family at a Sotheby's auction.
They ran into each other at the auction, and the young man gave him a complicated look at the handmade brooch pinned to his designer suit.
It was the first gift the young man had given him: a panda brooch from a DIY craft store that had cost twenty yuan.
