   It's been a long time since I've seen such a traditional face-slapping story: low point—face-slapping—face-slapping—face-slapping (it's really satisfying to occasionally experience an invincible promotion story like this).

   It feels like the protagonist and the others are playing a different survival game. Who would confess their love to a survival game? [Winking emoji]

   Curator note

   Geniuses are truly wicked; to relieve the pressure of writing papers that will shock the world, they seek out different men for stress relief, which is also quite appealing. Everyone except geniuses is crazy!

    In the world of idol worship and stock speculation, the protagonist is merely a ruthless power-pushing machine. (One person can outdo the fan site administrators, the editing masters, and push multiple streams of both positive and negative content—if you don't succeed, who will?)
