Divorce Me, Darling: The Idol Wife's Variety Show Scandal

It was you who insisted on joining the variety show. So why are you the one regretting your public image collapse? In his past life, the male lead's wife Su Lin twisted the truth on the program...

Chapter 155 The Evidence Falls Hard, There's Nowhere to Cry

"Everyone, I am Su Lin, the victim who was subjected to domestic violence more than 300 times a year."

Click! Click! Click!

Under the live broadcast camera, various flashes were taken in rapid succession.

The reflection made Su Lin's scars even more obvious, and the simple clothes she had deliberately chosen made her look even whiter, as if they were the result of years of washing and rubbing.

Su Lin sat awkwardly in a backless chair, with only the toes of her feet touching the ground.

She nervously fidgeted with her fingers, her gaze darting away from the camera with a pitiful look, her head bowed humbly...

She gave a bitter smile, and tears streamed down her face.

"You may have met me on the show 'Let's Get a Divorce, My Love' not long ago."

"Actually, there's another reason why I want a divorce..."

"Waaaaah..."

Just seeing this scene immediately evoked sympathy from hundreds of thousands of netizens in the live stream.

Meanwhile, off-camera.

A female intern editor at The Paper is standing behind her senior colleague with her arms crossed, learning from her.

Upon seeing this scene, I couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

"Editor-in-chief, she looks so pitiful."

"Why do I feel so uncomfortable just looking at her? I subconsciously want to sympathize with her, and even wish I could hug her?"

"That's terrible..."

Beside her was the senior editor-in-chief of The Paper, a veteran with many years of experience.

Hearing the question from his personally selected apprentice, Editor-in-Chief Sun chuckled and pulled her aside for an on-the-spot lesson.

"Come here, take a look at their meticulously arranged camera shots."

"A chair without a backrest looks uncomfortable, visually creating a subconscious resonance of fatigue and hardship."

"The high-legged stool design means the protagonist can only stand on tiptoe to touch the ground."

"Doesn't it make you feel uneasy at first glance?"

"Because the language of the camera tells the audience that this is unsettling and unstable, and even without saying anything, it can make people involuntarily tense."

"In addition, the clothes that Su Lin specially chose were old-fashioned, faded from washing, and excessively plain."

"Doesn't she look completely different from her usual glamorous self?"

"She came wearing a very flashy split skirt, which is completely out of character for our live stream today."

"If you want to play the victim, then you have to let people see exactly where your misery lies."

Hearing the editor-in-chief share so much valuable information, the intern editor standing beside him was also stunned and nodded repeatedly.

"So there are so many different interpretations?"

"But it seems like these things weren't taught at school..."

Editor-in-Chief Sun chuckled upon hearing this, and was quite moved as well.

"Sigh, you'll get used to it eventually."

"For us journalism students, what we learned in school is long outdated. The first step to starting work is to forget the three elements of journalism."

"In this era of internet media, following the trend and being ambiguous are the key factors."

"Copy and paste is the way to go."

"Facts don't get much attention, and they don't generate much traffic."

"If you want to get promoted early, you need to learn how to create trending topics, come up with some eye-catching headlines, and learn how to manipulate the emotions of the online masses."

"You can only achieve results when their emotions are stirred up."

The master and apprentice spoke in whispers, hidden behind the scenes, so naturally no one paid attention.

However, in front of the camera, Su Lin was already in tears.

As the host guided her through the questions, Su Lin pointed to the scars on her body and revealed one by one the domestic violence and harm that Lin Chu had inflicted on her.

Su Lin cried as she pulled down her sleeve, showing the bruises on her arm.

"Here, here, and these too."

"It was all Lin Chu's doing to steal my family fortune. She killed me so badly that even my bones are cracked and have been affected."

“He not only made me leave with nothing, but he also wouldn’t let me take any of my jewelry, cosmetics, or clothes with me.”

"They just kicked me and my parents out the door! No!!! They practically beat us out of the house!"

"There were dozens of them, and they attacked my family of three!"

"If we hadn't run fast, we might have been beaten to death by Lin Chu. He's a monster!!!"

"Waaaaah!"

As she spoke, Su Lin completely let loose and burst into tears in the live broadcast room of The Paper.

She even clung to the host and cried!

Upon seeing this, the host looked distressed and couldn't help but offer words of comfort.

"That's absolutely outrageous!!"

"Even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness. How could Lin Chu, after more than ten years of marriage, just ignore it all!"

"When will we women be able to stand up for ourselves!"

When will someone teach men how to cherish and protect women?!

"Su Lin, Su Lin, don't cry, cheer up! We must make this abusive man pay the price!"

"Call the police! We must call the police!"

"Didn't you call the police when you were beaten?!"

Upon hearing this, Su Lin immediately felt a little guilty and dared not raise her head to face the live broadcast camera.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself.

They only said it was acting, but they didn't say it had to be this convincing. How did they get the police involved?

But before she could speak, the host suddenly pretended to hear her and came closer.

"What did you say?"

"Oh, you mean you called the police?!"

"Then what……"

Upon hearing the host's words, Su Lin found herself in a dilemma, caught between a rock and a hard place.

All I could do was grit my teeth, cry, and nod repeatedly.

"Yes, I called the police."

"But the police are irresponsible. They don't file a case or send officers out. I told them to detain Lin Chu, but they didn't do anything!"

"Nobody cares about me at all!!"

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere-building team in the live stream immediately gasped in surprise.

"Ah!!? How could this be?"

"Yeah, why aren't the police filing a case? That's incredibly irresponsible!"

"Are we women not allowed to seek protection from the police when we are assaulted?"

"What are they doing? Why aren't they doing anything about this?"

Hearing these jeers and insults, the number of fans in the live stream soared to over 200,000, and the screen was filled with angry comments.

"Declare out Lin Chu!! Severely punish the domestic abuser!!"

"Heh heh heh, in this world that loves men so much, why does no one care when women are hurt?!"

"Go directly to the police's official account and question them!!"

"@Beijing Police, please explain what's going on here!"

"We strongly demand that Lin Chu, the domestic abuser, be sentenced to death!! He must be sentenced to death!! We will not compromise!!"

"I will not remain silent!! I will speak out for women's safety!! Real-person comments with flowers!! To increase the buzz!!"

The increased popularity of the live stream was projected onto the screen wall in the studio in real time.

Seeing the furious comments from netizens and fans who were being manipulated, the host and Su Lin's eyes lit up and they gradually became excited.

The Paper is basking in the immense wealth generated by this surge in traffic, and is grinning from ear to ear.

Just when they thought everything was going to go as planned.

The tone of the live stream chat suddenly changed!!

A large number of rational netizens tagged various official accounts and joined the fray, completely shattering the narrative that was about to be stirred up!

"Hey everyone, hold your tongues and go check out the official announcement from @BeijingPolice right now! It's blue background, white text, and has an official seal!!"

"@Beijing Police have made a breakthrough!!! The police have released a video provided by the residential complex's property management company!!!"

"@Qichen Music Company @Lin Chu Studio, both the company and Lin Chu's studio have posted updates in response, go check them out!!!"

"Huh? What's with this video posted by some nursing home with that hashtag? What's it about?"
