After Getting Involved In A Love Triangle With My Mortal Enemy From A Past Life, All I Want To Do Is Lie Down And Relax - Chapter 26

The grouping for the day began, and everyone prepared. The events of the previous day seemed as if they had never happened, as no one brought them up. However, after a night of fermentation, the trending topics had intensified, drawing more attention than ever. As the heat increased, negative comments against Sang Luo grew louder, and the voices of doubt became overwhelming.

The ones suffering the most were Sang Luo’s fans. They genuinely liked him, offering their sincerity and passion.

[Why is there no clarification? Could this all be true?]

[I know you are not that kind of person. Your eyes say everything.]

[Please do not make us wait too long. We beg you.]

[Though I have only been your fan for a short time, I cannot deny my affection.]

[Clarify quickly; we believe in you.]

[We believe in you and are waiting for you.]

[We have always believed in you.]

These intense emotions remained unknown to Sang Luo, as he had not gone online. He was not someone who relied on electronic products, so he remained unaware. If he saw them, he would surely be shaken. He was being loved so sincerely and purely. He was no longer the monarch of the Yun Kingdom who hated his own country and chose to be a tyrant; he was a rising star in the modern entertainment industry.

Of course, Sang Luo did not yet understand this. In his cold memories, no one had taught him that no matter what happened, he should still hold on to sincere expectations.

In the dating show, Sang Luo’s expression remained cold, as if nothing could move him. He carried an invisible shield around him, discouraging others from approaching. Every gesture was distant, his frozen heart as solid as a fortress. Even after seeing today’s groupings, there was not a single ripple in his eyes.

“The groups are set. Is everyone happy?”

Happiness was impossible. Sang Luo looked at Liu Zhiya, who was paired with him, and indifferently looked away. It was not just his group; the others felt the same. It was not exactly dissatisfaction, but a feeling that the production team was doing this on purpose, pairing those with no prior interaction or those in a one-sided pursuit.

For instance, Huo Xun and Chen Jing were paired together, even though anyone could see how much Huo Xun disliked him. Similarly, Bai Chen and An Yushu, who were subtle love rivals, were put together. Among all of Sang Luo’s pursuers, Bai Chen was the least troublesome; he never acted out, choosing instead to pay attention quietly and engage in elegant conversation when the timing was right. However, Huo Xun did not consider Bai Chen his main rival. Currently, his biggest threat was An Yushu.

“The task draw was successful. Please reveal them.”

Sang Luo did not draw this time; Liu Zhiya did. She was quite satisfied with the task: managing a milk tea shop.

Upon arriving at the destination, Liu Zhiya, who was the last to get off the car, bumped into Sang Luo. Anyone watching could tell it was intentional.

“Oh, I am so sorry,” Liu Zhiya said, rolling up her sleeves with a smile on her pretty face. “I did not see you.”

Sang Luo ignored her and walked past, following the others. Liu Zhiya’s face stiffened with anger, and she shot a vicious glare at Sang Luo’s back. She thought the camera was not on her, so she was reckless, not knowing there were other cameras capturing her every move.

[No way, has her pure persona collapsed?] [Acting one way to his face and another behind his back. I am disgusted.] [That is because Sang Luo ignored her. She apologized and he still acted cold. Speechless.] [Nice try. Liu Zhiya did it on purpose. If you are not blind, go wash your eyes.] [Still better than an ungrateful wolf. I cannot believe someone like that can be famous. I am blind.]

Following that comment, a surge of people entered the livestream, flooding the chat with “Sang Luo, get out of the entertainment industry.”

The executives at Star Media, who had been monitoring the situation, looked at each other. They knew the time was ripe for a counterattack. Suddenly, a new trending topic appeared: a recording of Wenkai forcing its artists to find sugar daddies. Evidence of Wenkai’s malice toward Sang Luo followed, showing how they only arranged bit parts for him for two years, constantly exploiting him. All this was because Sang Luo refused to be victim to hidden rules.

Next, they released the predatory contracts Wenkai forced on its artists and videos of them verbally and physically abusing their talent. The insults were horrific. One video showed a girl shielding her vitals while begging for mercy, all because she refused to wear a miniskirt. Finally, evidence of Wenkai’s tax evasion was leaked.

In an instant, public opinion flipped. Sang Luo’s fans finally felt vindicated. While heartbroken over his past and offering comfort, they also launched a fierce counterattack against the haters. They were known for holding a grudge.

At this time, the director of 9403 also explained why the invitation was sent to Wenkai: the production team had specifically requested Sang Luo. The director posted that he had accidentally seen Sang Luo in a drama and was instantly captivated. Upon checking, he found Sang Luo was a minor, unknown actor. The director admitted he originally invited him as eye candy or a background character, but he was stunned by the real person and let him grow on his own. He apologized for looking down on Sang Luo and credited Huo Xun for having the discerning eye to give him a real chance.

With this, the Xun-Zhao shippers emerged in full force, flooding the comments with how well-matched they were. Seizing the momentum, Shi Fu at MOM headquarters released the full photos of Sang Luo, announcing the official launch of the clothing line. The full photos pushed the heat to a climax. Sang Luo’s eyes were half-drooped, and his red robes were in disarray. The wounds on his face were clear, and the red mole on the side of his nose was strikingly alluring. Fans were so impacted by this peak visual that the clothing line sold out instantly.

The clarification was perfect. Star Media’s final move was a formal lawsuit against Wenkai Entertainment. Wenkai finally faced the consequences of its actions, and its reputation was completely ruined.

Inside the dating show, the guests were cut off from the internet and were unaware of the reversal. An Yushu comforted Sang Luo from time to time, his cautious manner making people both pity and laugh at him. Sang Luo did not care and told him to go back and focus on the task.

Liu Zhiya watched from the side with cold eyes, suddenly letting out an exaggerated cry. “Oh! My hand is bleeding.”

Sang Luo did not even look at her, continuing to make milk tea for the customers. Liu Zhiya sat leisurely on a chair and sighed. “My hand hurts so much. Sang Luo, you handle the work.”

The youth turned his head to glance at her. “Is it broken?”

Liu Zhiya slammed the table in anger. “How can you curse me?!”

“I can make it so you truly cannot move.” Sang Luo’s expression was bone-chillingly cold. His indifferent gaze held a trace of ruthlessness, and his aura of decisive authority made one shudder.

Liu Zhiya was frightened, but her anger took over. In the heat of the moment, she blurted out, “You ungrateful wolf, you dare to threaten me?!”

She regretted it the moment the words left her mouth, but seeing Sang Luo’s seemingly avoidant reaction, she felt a secret joy. You are finished anyway, she thought. Keep acting tough while your reputation rots forever.

[THE END]
