Trending question on Zhihu: What's it like to date a celebrity?
Top-voted answer (anonymous, 100,000+ likes, comments section in an uproar):
Thanks for the invite. I'm on set, just got off work...
Why would anyone in their right mind want to date a celebrity???
Wake up, folks! Spend more than a day up close with this crowd, and your rose-colored glasses will shatter so completely you won't be able to pick up the pieces!
My line of work gives me a special perspective, so I've had a close-up look at the daily life of a certain top-tier star (can't say their name, afraid their fans will assassinate me).
These people are all idiots, ignorant airheads, needy drama queens... Move along, nothing to see here!
(Three months later, a short update quietly appeared under the original answer. In smaller text, buried under a flood of comments, but sharp-eyed netizens still spotted it.)
Update: Um, so, I've been spending a little more time with this "celebrity" lately (work assignment, not by choice!). How do I put this... The rose-colored glasses are shattered beyond repair, but, well... they're actually not so bad?
(Another month later, on an utterly ordinary late night, the original poster edited that anonymous answer that had once caused a tremendous uproar.)
This time, it was only a few short lines, but they hit like a depth charge, instantly setting the entire Zhihu Q&A section ablaze. The servers couldn't take it and nearly crashed.
Final update: Everyone, move along.
I'm the idiot.
I'm the ignorant airhead.
I'm the needy drama queen.
But now...
I'm posting this update from my girlfriend's account...
That's right, the person who answered is now my girlfriend!
Theme: Everywhere I look, it's you. No one else is in sight.
