Chapter 3446: Diva, Diva (3)

When a man fell for a woman, he’d naturally want to do things for her. Under the system’s training, Qiao Ling’er had become a truly exceptional individual. Singing, dancing, composing music, and even writing scripts were all within her capabilities. She seemed to handle everything with ease.

In truth, this was the story of a girl building her own harem. Although many men loved Qiao Ling’er, she never committed to any of them. While capturing a man, she would use every trick in the book, but the moment he lost his heart to her, she would pull back and insist they were just friends. Because the system constantly issued new tasks, she couldn’t enter a committed relationship. If she did, how could she maintain those ambiguous, ‘more than friends, less than lovers’ connections to farm favorability points from other men?

As a result, Qiao Ling’er gained both fame and fortune, becoming the undisputed Queen of the Entertainment Industry. She was a celebrated genius with countless fans. Everything she did was under the spotlight, making her a true winner in life. A long line of elite men stood behind her, watching her with longing eyes. Qiao Ling’er simply told them that they were all friends.

The entrustor, on the other hand, was quite miserable. Her boyfriend had been included in the capture list. Even though he was a Best Actor award winner, Yue Wenlun was a total moron. Despite Qiao Ling’er approaching him with clear ulterior motives, he was eventually captured.

Through his interactions with Qiao Ling’er, Yue Wenlun was gradually drawn to her. He felt she had a refined aura and that her acting was spectacular. He thought she was a wonderful girl. The closer he got, the more he discovered how talented and hardworking she was. She was poised and respectful toward him, yet never arrogant toward others. She didn’t seem to possess the typical sycophancy or snobbishness of people in the entertainment industry.

Faced with such a junior colleague, he was more than willing to offer guidance. Ultimately, he lost his heart to her games of pushing and pulling—one moment intimate, the next distant. Since he now had someone he loved and admired, he naturally had to bid farewell to his old flame.

Thus, the Best Actor award winner unilaterally initiated a breakup. He announced it on Weibo, stating that their fate had reached its end and wishing Mu Shuyao happiness.

Mu Shuyao was completely blindsided. Even if he wanted to break up, he should have at least told her beforehand, she thought. By announcing the breakup so publicly, he made it impossible for her to carry out much of her work. It had to be said that while she held the title of the Best Actor award winner’s girlfriend, doors often opened for her automatically. Putting those invisible benefits aside, Mu Shuyao genuinely loved Yue Wenlun. For him to break up without giving her any explanation was devastating.

The internet was jubilant. People claimed the Best Actor award winner had finally dumped that talentless woman, who was all face but no substance, Mu Shuyao. They said she would finally stop clinging to him like a stick-on bandage and that she had only been after his resources all along.

As the saying went, when a wall started to collapse, everyone would give it a push. After being dumped by the Best Actor award winner, Mu Shuyao’s reputation turned toxic overnight. The backlash was overwhelming. People dug up her ‘shameful history’ and circulated old, unflattering photos of her, mocking her relentlessly.

Mu Shuyao’s love life and career both failed simultaneously. Overnight, she became a person of ill repute. Such a horrifying escalation of public opinion was clearly being fueled by someone behind the scenes.

Mu Shuyao went to see her Best Actor award winner ex-boyfriend and saw Qiao Ling’er by his side. Based on a woman’s intuition, she immediately sensed that the reason he broke up with her was likely because of this woman. Qiao Ling’er possessed a pure, ethereal aura that made people feel comfortable around her. Her skin was also incredible—translucent and glowing.

The Best Actor award winner was quite impatient with his ex-girlfriend. He was terrified that Mu Shuyao would cling to him and cause Qiao Ling’er to misunderstand. But that wasn’t the worst of it. Mu Shuyao’s TV shows and advertisements were all canceled. Even when she could get a role, her parts were snatched away, demoting her from a lead actress to a minor supporting character. Furthermore, it was Qiao Ling’er who replaced her in those roles.

The two clashed while filming. Mu Shuyao had no formal training as an actress. She had entered the industry because of her beautiful face and great figure, starting out as a model. She eventually moved into acting, and while her skills weren’t top-tier, she had improved under Yue Wenlun’s tutelage. However, when she performed alongside Qiao Ling’er, she was completely crushed.

Once the show aired, a wave of anti-fans flooded in. They compared Mu Shuyao and Qiao Ling’er from head to toe. From looks to acting skills to past scandals, they compared every detail until Mu Shuyao was dragged through the mud. They even released photos of her at business dinners. For an actress, attending such dinners to secure resources was often an unavoidable necessity. But compared to the ‘pure and flawless’ Qiao Ling’er, Mu Shuyao was painted as a common slut who was available to anyone.

A topic tag calling for Mu Shuyao to ‘get out of the entertainment industry’ even began trending.

Was it such a surprising, exciting, or intense topic?

Such public opinion was definitely being manipulated.

Mu Shuyao didn’t even know who she had offended to deserve such widespread slander. Meanwhile, Qiao Ling’er became a sensation because of her looks and her stolen role.

Mu Shuyao couldn’t understand how she had offended Qiao Ling’er, so she sought her out for an explanation. She didn’t expect to be recorded. The audio was edited to create a completely different narrative and posted online, sparking a new wave of public outrage.

Life became incredibly difficult for Mu Shuyao. She couldn’t get any work, and even when she attended public events, people threw eggs at her. This string of events put her under immense pressure, and she eventually became too afraid to leave her house. Seeing that she no longer had any value, her agency effectively blacklisted her.

Mu Shuyao went to Yue Wenlun again, hoping he would help her for the sake of their past relationship. This wasn’t just about leaving the industry anymore. Her reputation had been blackened beyond repair, and everyone knew her name for the wrong reasons. Her real life was being affected too.

When she found him, she saw that Qiao Ling’er was surrounded by many men—a top singer, another Best Actor award winner, a manager, and even the CEO of an entertainment company. Qiao Ling’er stood in the center like a queen, surrounded by men who were all giants in their respective fields. It seemed they all had feelings for her.

No matter how stupid Mu Shuyao was, she now knew her misfortune was connected to Qiao Ling’er. Was it all because of Yue Wenlun? But she wasn’t even with him anymore. Was it really necessary for her to target her like this?

Under all this pressure, Mu Shuyao fell into a deep depression. Her hair fell out in clumps, and she became as thin as a rail. Whenever she tried to go outside, she would be photographed by reporters who reported extensively on her ‘ugly’ appearance, mocking the former girlfriend of the Best Actor award winner for her current state.

Since the birth of the internet, it had become a place for some people to revel in cruelty. Those who were cowardly in real life vented their frustrations and negative emotions online. They transformed into ‘keyboard warriors’ of justice, monitoring the morality of everyone else. There were even rumors that Mu Shuyao was living in a tiny, cramped room and working as a prostitute just to make ends meet.
