A fallen top-tier star x his number-one anti-fan
1. Jiang Shiwu is Zhou Xubai's die-hard anti-fan, praying day and night for his career to implode because he stole her darling's spot in the debut lineup.
Later, just as she'd wished, Zhou Xubai was banned from the industry.
Using her alt account, Jiang Shiwu posted a bold comment: “Either sleep with someone, or pay taxes. Teacher White Porridge, take your pick.”
At last, she'd gotten halfway through her revenge.
But a few days later, in the stairwell of an old residential building in Fengyi, on a scorching day when temperatures were over thirty degrees, she saw him.
The stunning top-tier star who had once stood beneath the spotlights, surrounded by adoring fans, now wore black from head to toe, a baseball cap pulled low over his face, and carried a suitcase like a stray dog driven out of the capital.
The person she hated most had become her neighbor.
What awful luck!
2. Once upon a time, Zhou Xubai had appeared out of nowhere, his stunning looks holding their own against the cameras of the entertainment industry. His face alone had sent him straight into the debut lineup of a talent competition.
His future should have been bright, but he cut his career short and went alone to a small city in the north.
Bundled up and disguised, he stood outside his new home and met the eyes of the neighbor next door.
The girl's eyes were bright and shiny, like fluffy cotton candy.
It was just that her words were sharp.
The badge hanging from her bag and the posters on her walls all told him she was his fan. In the stairwell, at the barbecue stall, in the parking lot, they kept running into each other, and whenever their eyes met, he could feel how much she liked him.
But this fan was always glaring at him. She must be upset that he'd thrown his life away.
That was fine. She'd find out sooner or later that he wouldn't let anyone down.
Then he was invited into her home and casually flipped open the notebook she'd left nearby.
On the last page was a line of neat handwriting:
[There are three great regrets in life:
First, that ugly, useless piece of trash Zhou Xubai got to make a glorious debut!
Second, that the moon hangs high in the sky.
Third, that I can't pull the moon into my arms.]
The words, etched deeply into the page, mocked his self-importance. He gave a self-deprecating laugh. So she was his anti-fan.

Jiang Shiwu thought Zhou Xubai had become a fallen dog, and that living across from him would give her a chance to get revenge and vent her anger.
But before she could do anything, she realized Zhou Xubai wasn't like she had imagined.
He didn't put on airs like a big star. He would look after her all night when she got drunk, and take her for a drive in the countryside when she was feeling down.
She thought maybe she really could go on being around him as just a fan.
But one day, Zhou Xubai knocked on her door.
Thunder rumbled outside. The man standing before her reeked of alcohol, his eyes red-rimmed.
He gripped her hand tightly and murmured in a husky voice, “Hate means love, right? You don't actually hate me at all, do you?”
Jiang Shiwu couldn't pull free. Embarrassed and furious, she could think of only one thing: Oh no, he's found out I'm an anti-fan!
