This time, Xia Wan did not control public opinion, and even bought marketing to intentionally guide netizens, as if she were the victim of this marriage and that she was forced to be with Zhuang Yan.
Now she has come to her senses and is charging forward for love, choosing to completely sever ties with Zhuang Yan.
A video also appeared on the trending topics, showing Zhuang Yan standing alone and helpless on the stage, and Xia Wan in the hospital celebrating Gu Qian's birthday.
The comments below were all sarcastic and gloating.
[Our "broken mirror mended" couple is really together! It turns out that "just friends" was meant for Zhuang Yan, to tell him not to get his hopes up. Those haters who mocked Gu Qian for not being good enough for him, come out and see! They've been slapped in the face, haven't they?]
This is the consequence of ruining other people's relationships. Zhuang Yanming knew Xia Wan had someone she liked, yet he still insisted on forcing her into a marriage alliance. How afraid he was of not being able to find a wife himself!
[Gu Qian and Xia Wan are a perfect match, childhood sweethearts, reconciled after a breakup. How can someone like Zhuang Yan, who came along halfway, compare? Don't feel sorry for Zhuang Yan in the comments. Feeling sorry for men who never have a good ending is pointless. Zhuang Yan is just pretending; he was only with Xia Wan for money. Now that Xia Wan doesn't want him anymore, he's immediately participating in a dating show. What, is he trying to hook a rich woman on a variety show?]
[Is Zhuang Yan really going to go to such lengths to hook up with a rich woman? He's a second-generation rich kid, after all.]
[According to reliable sources, Zhuang Yan has been kicked out of the Zhuang family, meaning he's short of money and incompetent. He shouldn't be looking for a rich woman to support him. Sisters on your journeys, please keep your eyes open and stay away from poor men.]
Things unfolded exactly as Xia Wan had predicted, with the outcome being one-sided.
In order to cooperate with Xia Wan, the Zhuang Group also issued a statement saying that the Zhuang and Xia families had broken off their engagement and were now free to date.
As for Zhuang Yan, it's not appropriate to say he's cut ties with his family at this critical juncture; we can only ignore him for now.
There's never any logic to be found online. What netizens see is always too one-sided. Even those with discerning eyes can easily distort the truth by stirring up trouble, leading to cyberbullying.
Gu Qian had been keeping a close eye on the online developments, and when he saw that Xia Wan had finally made her choice between him and Zhuang Yan, he smiled with satisfaction.
However, that wasn't enough, so he secretly instigated and manipulated the situation, completely cementing Zhuang Yan's image as a third party who ruined other people's relationships.
In short, on the day Zhuang Yan recorded the program, Weibo was still in an uproar, but Zhuang Yan was not affected at all. She slept when she was supposed to and ate when she was supposed to.
After quickly packing my luggage, I bought a plane ticket and left Chengdu for the variety show recording site.
This show is really good at keeping things under wraps. They're about to start filming, but they still haven't announced the guests. It's all up to netizens to guess.
The director asked Zhuang Yan, "Did you see the trending topics on Weibo?"
"What's trending?"
The director gave him a meaningful look, then patted him on the shoulder and sighed, "It's better if you don't know. Now, hand over your phones, and we'll prepare new communication devices for you. Before we start recording, contact whoever you want to contact as soon as possible and send a group notification."
Zhuang Yan shook his head: "I don't have anyone I want to contact."
Alright, the director didn't say much, nor did he remind Zhuang Yan to check the trending topics online, as those things would only affect one's mood.
After Zhuang Yan verified his Weibo account, he set it to "Do Not Disturb" to avoid being disturbed while resting.
Just because he hasn't looked at it these past two days doesn't mean he doesn't know about it.
It's nothing more than experiencing the online backlash you already went through in your past life again.
Gu Qian's die-hard fans are obsessed with creating CP pairings and belittling others. Even in his past life, when he and Xia Wan were already married, those CP fans still made trouble in his studio. Even when he was 50 years old, people were still belittling him and asking him every day if he had divorced Xia Wan. It was incredibly upsetting.
In this life, he got what he wanted and didn't marry Xia Wan. It should be better than being "hated by the entire internet" in his previous life, right?
Whether he's criticized or not doesn't matter, it won't affect his life anyway. Being criticized now can even bring him some attention, after all, being criticized is still being famous.
Zhuang Yan doesn't know much about variety shows. She knew this show was very popular in her past life, but she never clicked on it to watch it.
He thought "Love on the Road" sounded like a travel show, which was perfect—he could travel without spending money and enjoy local cuisine. He wondered where the first stop would be.
Zhuang Yan tried to subtly inquire with the staff, but they kept their mouths shut and didn't reveal a single word, only looking at him with complicated expressions.
A mix of heartache and a touch of schadenfreude gave Zhuang Yan a bad feeling.
As the car drove further and further away, the surrounding cities disappeared into hills and dirt roads. After nearly three hours of swaying and rocking, the car gradually came to a stop.
"arrive."
Zhuang Yan woke up with a start, lifted the curtain and looked outside. The scenery was beautiful, the environment was quite nice, but the accommodations arranged might not be suitable for someone used to city life.
Love on the journey begins in the countryside, where participants experience local customs and traditions, and find true love amidst nature and labor.
The production team didn't spend much money to rent a small courtyard. While other dating reality shows have large villas, theirs was just a small flat with a rustic-looking round table and six plastic chairs.
The toilets are not inside the house but outside. There are two toilets in total, one for men and one for women. They look like they were built on the spot. There is a pigsty next to the toilets, and you can smell the pig manure as you pass by.
Zhuang Yan was the first to arrive, and since he had nothing else to do, he helped the staff set up the cameras.
Seeing this environment, the comments section went crazy.
【Wait, aren't you afraid of breaking up if you date in this place?】
