In her previous life, before she was driven into isolation and total ruin by a scoundrel and a vixen, Yu Lizhi was fragile and thin-skinned, with almost no capacity to withstand pressure.
Later, she endured far too much.
She survived even more vicious online abuse, sinking into depression, having her private photos maliciously leaked, and contemplating suicide countless times. Her own family abandoned her, and only Bo Yanchi remained by her side, never wavering. Yet, back then, she rejected his kindness, cursing and striking him, hurling cruel words that wounded him again and again. He endured it all in silence, only to pull her into a tight embrace after she calmed down, soothing her to sleep like a child.
The mere thought of this left Yu Lizhi in agony, her vision instantly blurring with tears.
She had ruined Bo Yanchi’s life in her previous life. After her reputation was destroyed, he had gambled everything to be with her, even marrying her. He fell from grace in the entertainment industry, getting torn apart by the public just as she had been. In the end, Fu Sichen and Yu Haitang still refused to let them go, ordering someone to ram their car and kill them both.
In this life, let’s see how she ruins them instead.
Seeing her state, Wen Xin knew she was still troubled and tried to console her. "Don't worry. I’ll have Sister Lin handle this for you."
"There's no need to bother Sister Lin. I’ll deal with the consequences of my own actions; I'll solve this myself."
Yu Lizhi fiddled with her phone, typing away without looking up. Wen Xin leaned over to see what she had posted, and her eyes went dark.
Yu Lizhi: "I kissed Bo Yanchi. I punched Fu Sichen. I spat on Yu Haitang. So what? Bring it on! Come and run me over! I’ve got rabies, do you think I’m afraid of you?"
Wen Xin: "..."
It’s over! This little ancestor has actually gone insane! Is this really the kind of language a female celebrity uses?
[Holy crap! Has Yu Lizhi been driven mad by Fu Sichen and Yu Haitang pushing their 'couple' marketing too hard?]
[Jealousy makes one unrecognizable! This mental state of hers is worrying; so this is her true face. No wonder Fu Sichen doesn't like her!]
[Tch, for real. Yu Haitang is both beautiful and gentle. If I were a man, I’d definitely choose her!]
[Am I the only one who thinks our domestic entertainment industry has hope again? How long has it been since it was this lively?]
Netizens quickly swarmed the scene to watch the drama. The fanbases of the other three celebrities flooded her comment section, hurling insults at every generation of her ancestors.
Yu Lizhi did not back down in the slightest.
"Cuss! Keep cussing! I’m recording every word you say to build up my fighting spirit so I can go cuss out Fu Sichen and Yu Haitang another day. Everything you say to me will eventually rebound onto them. Next time I see them, I’ll take them down a notch."
Once these words were posted, the fans of Fu Sichen and Yu Haitang deflated and slunk out of her comment section. However, Bo Yanchi’s fans continued to attack.
Yu Lizhi replied: "For every word you curse me with, I’ll kiss him once. For ten, I’ll kiss him ten times. For a hundred, I’ll start debating whether to strip his clothes off first or head straight to bed. I’m striving to marry him soon and become his wife."
At this, Bo Yanchi’s fans collectively broke down.
A netizen commented: "What a glorious mental state. Why on earth did you provoke her? Based on her performance today, she’s actually crazy enough to do it!"
They couldn't afford to mess with her. All three fanbases fled in terror, and the comment section quieted down significantly. Only a few dedicated haters remained.
...
While Wen Xin was feeling hopeless, she received a call from their manager, Lin Lin, urging her to stop Yu Lizhi from continuing her madness. Wen Xin hurriedly snatched the phone away. "Oh, my little ancestor, please stop arguing with these trolls. The awards ceremony is about to start. Are you going? Who will take home the Best Actor award? Will it be Bo Yanchi or Fu Sichen?"
Yu Lizhi paused. She remembered that in her past life, Fu Sichen had attended this ceremony specifically for that award. He had used the Yu family's influence to rig the results, snatching the award from Bo Yanchi. The official Weibo page of the ceremony had been slaughtered by enraged fans who branded Bo Yanchi the "uncrowned king."
This time, she would ensure Fu Sichen’s wish remained unfulfilled.
A cold glint flickered in Yu Lizhi’s beautiful eyes as she told Wen Xin, "Give me the phone. I need to call my father."
In this life, she had not yet been abandoned by everyone. Although she was not their biological daughter, her parents still doted on her. It was only because she had been too headstrong—getting into an argument with them when Yu Haitang moved back home—that she had moved out in a fit of pique.
"Don't do anything reckless," Wen Xin said, still worried. "Otherwise, Sister Lin will call me again."
"I know."
After taking the phone, Yu Lizhi called her father, wheedling and apologizing before getting to the point.
"Dad, let’s not give the award to Fu Sichen this time. I want him to win it based on his own merit. Let’s return it to the rightful owner; whoever deserves it should get it."
The Yu family was the main sponsor of the event, and it was only through her begging her father in the previous life that Fu Sichen had secured the win. Afterward, he had shamelessly mocked Bo Yanchi, and she had abetted him. Later, he had even slammed his chopsticks down and cursed, interacting intimately with Yu Haitang in front of the whole country while ignoring her all night. And she had even humbled herself to apologize to him.
Thinking back, her brain must have been broken.
Ending the call, Yu Lizhi curled her lips into a mocking smile.
Fu Sichen. Without my help in this life, let me see how you plan to defeat Bo Yanchi and win the prize.
...
At the awards ceremony.
By 9:30 PM, the biggest stars had arrived. Yu Lizhi was still trending. The netizens had no interest in who won; that didn't matter anymore—watching the drama was the priority.
Fu Sichen sat in the front row, his expression dark and angry as he rubbed his forehead. That madwoman Yu Lizhi! How dare she humiliate him in front of the entire nation! He would never let her off the hook for this. If she wanted to reconcile with him now, it wouldn't be so easy!
"Brother Sichen," Yu Haitang whispered from beside him, feigning grievance. "Sister really went too far this time. I didn't expect her to do something so deranged just to compete with me. She’s truly been spoiled rotten. I’ll make sure to talk to Mom and Dad about her when we get home."
Jealousy really did make Yu Lizhi unrecognizable. She had moved out, yet she still dared to be this arrogant. Once she got home, she would sow discord between her parents and Yu Lizhi, ensuring they thoroughly despised her. Once this imposter who had occupied her place for twenty years was kicked out, Fu Sichen would be hers. Her parents and Yu Lizhi's man—she would take them all.
"I will never forgive her easily this time! She hit me and still thinks she can be with me? In her dreams!" Fu Sichen gritted his teeth, his gaze icy. "I’ll wait for her to regret this, to come crawling back to me in tears!"
Yu Lizhi was a lunatic—a jealous shrew with a terrifying need for control. She had gone this crazy just because he was pushing a "couple" narrative with Haitang for work. Her love was suffocating. It was truly bad luck to be liked by such a woman; the only benefit was that he could use her to spite Bo Yanchi. Once he won Best Actor today, he would make sure to ridicule Bo Yanchi properly.
Besides, Yu Lizhi was no longer the real daughter of the Yu family; Yu Haitang was. Perhaps it was time for him to reconsider his options.
