Chapter 414 The Road (1/2)



For Sister Ivy, these past few days have been quite painful.

Shi Shan's acceptance of a second lead role already caused considerable turmoil within the fandom. It was only thanks to the support of CP (couple) fans and the efforts of influential fans to maintain stability that not too many fans left.

After finally creating a hanging ornament and giving Shi Shan a dose of fresh blood, the on-set couple's affair was exposed...

Since then, there has been no peace in the industry.

The "Climbing Ivy Sister" is constantly posting links, reporting others, clarifying things with strangers, and arguing with haters. She's so busy she barely has time to breathe. She's practically generating sparks with her dozens of alternate accounts.

When the initial batch of videos and posts about Shi Shan were forcibly taken down, Climbing Tiger was actually happy. Everyone is happy to see their idol's scandals exposed. But who would have thought that after these things were taken down, the matter not only didn't die down, but the hype actually intensified!

The fact that one's idol has been exposed for scandals already gives others ammunition to criticize them, and the ridicule from strangers makes it even more shameful and disheartening.

Many of the ivy-loving women couldn't hold on and quietly left the group. Those who remained, though full of energy, gradually showed signs of struggling to keep going. They maintained their love for Shishan solely through their hatred for Luan Qing, Ye Chu, and others.

Shi Shan's studio has been completely destroyed. The "Climbing Ivy Sisters" have unleashed the most deafening roar in history, ordering and even pleading with the studio to issue a denial and protect their rights.

But that's the most disgusting part of this whole thing.

Shi Shan's studio couldn't deny the rumors about his relationships with those female celebrities because they weren't just rumors, but real facts. If they hastily denied them, what if one of Shi Shan's ex-girlfriends got upset and came forward to refute their claims?

The studio cannot possibly issue a statement declaring "Shi Shan does not use PUA tactics on female celebrities," because publicly stating this would be tantamount to admitting Shi Shan's on-set marital fetish. It's utterly ridiculous!

Shishan Studio could only issue a vague statement: "Fake! The Internet is not a lawless place! Evidence has been collected!" They didn't even dare to say what the specific rumor was being denied.

This ambiguous attitude only reinforced netizens' belief that Shi Shan's side was guilty. The comment section of this statement was filled with netizens mocking him.

However, soon enough, Shi Shan's studio no longer needed to clarify.

Shi Shan's agent, Wan Xiaojun, logged onto Weibo and recorded a tearful video denouncing Shi Shan's misdeeds over the years!

In the video, Wan Xiaojun stretches out her arm, showing the burns on it. She tearfully recounts that Shi Shan asked her husband, Shi Shan's uncle, to cook porridge, but they missed the designated time. In a fit of anger, Shi Shan overturned the porridge bowl, spilling the scalding hot porridge onto her arm. These are the scars left from that incident.

Wan Xiaojun's husband stood timidly in front of the camera, nervously wringing his hands, and stammering as he recounted Shi Shan's actions over the years.

“Every time he got a girlfriend, he would make me cook for them…”

“Everyone has different tastes, and I’ve written them all down in this notebook.”

"If I don't do it, my wife will get scolded..."

The most ruthless stabs come from those closest to you. With Shi Shan's agent no longer involved, the public opinion situation became even more precarious.

Wan Xiaojun possessed a large number of secretly filmed chat logs, records of Shi Shan giving gifts to his girlfriends (including the married Lin Yin), and negotiation records for many film and television projects. The artists initially negotiated for those projects were often Luan Qing or other male stars from Tianding Entertainment, but in the end, they all ended up with Shi Shan.

Whether it was Wan Xiaojun's deliberate guidance or Shi Shan's genuinely malicious nature, those secretly filmed chat logs seemed to have a strong PUA (Pick-Up Artist) flavor. They were quite similar to the "PUA tutorials" circulating online.

A sadist with violent tendencies.

Couples on set are fans of the same thing.

Connections.

PUA Master.

The privileged individuals who are silenced and have their mouths covered.

With all these titles piled up, Shi Shan's last shred of reputation on the internet, which was already on the verge of collapse, completely crumbled.

Even his long-time manager couldn't stand him. Just how awful is Shi Shan?

The last stronghold of the thousand-mile dike was breached, and what followed was a raging flood!

An artist named Cheng Wanru was the first to post details of her relationship with Shi Shan on Weibo, even revealing Shi Shan's handwritten love letters. Her collaboration with Shi Shan began eight or nine years ago, when handwritten letters were still fashionable. She has kept these items all these years.

Whether it was due to some expert guidance or not, Cheng Wanru was very skillful in posting content. She didn't release it all at once, but rather in small increments, like squeezing toothpaste, a little bit here and a little bit there.

These things caused a huge uproar. Cheng Wanru's Weibo account, which originally had only a few thousand followers, suddenly gained 200,000 in a single day.

As if Pandora's box had been opened, a second, a third... Shi Shan's ex-girlfriends emerged one after another, like ants smelling syrup.

Humans are complex beings. When you discover that the memories you cherish are nothing more than a copy-and-paste version of sweetness shared by others, the more precious they were, the more disgusted you become.

This is the case with Shi Shan's ex-girlfriends, or rather, the victims of his relationships. The thought of sacrificing their careers for this kind of assembly-line romance inevitably turned their passionate love into raging fury. At this point, with just a little prompting, and tempted by profit and attention, some of them would inevitably succumb to their defenses.

Everyone here is intelligent, and the current internet trend is that "Shi Shan is a PUA master," so naturally, people are happy to portray themselves as victims. Therefore, even if Shi Shan didn't do anything particularly egregious in his relationships with many people, in their eyes, he seems utterly wicked. This creates a virtuous cycle.

When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down; when a drum is broken, everyone beats it. This old saying is truly true.

Shi Shan's team wasn't incompetent; they made many arduous and remarkable efforts. However, their series of moves came too quickly. Just as they devised a countermeasure, the next one would follow. Furthermore, some incompetent ally kept banning and suspending Shi Shan's opponents online, further fueling public anger and completely undermining the team's efforts to clear their name.

Shang Yechu was far away in the capital and didn't know about Shi Shan's agent's outrageous actions immediately. When she found out, she was truly astonished.

Luan Qing's rise from nothing to her current position certainly demonstrates her shrewdness. Just consider bribing Shi Shan's agent—who would have guessed? That agent is Shi Shan's aunt!
