The night before the college entrance exam results were released, I redeemed my Peking University ad

Ji Bai shook his head as he looked at the comments from these brainless fans.

What's that saying again? You can never wake someone who's pretending to be asleep!

After thinking for a moment, Ji Bai got up, took off his T-shirt, walked to the dressing mirror, and snapped a half-body photo in front of the mirror.

The boy in the video has a tall and straight figure, with thin and smooth muscle lines that are neat and attractive.

His chest muscles were clearly defined, his biceps had a youthful, relaxed strength, his eight-pack abs were neatly arranged, and his V-line was neatly hidden in his waistband.

He doesn't have an exaggeratedly large build, but he exudes a tight, youthful vibe, making his slender, muscular physique incredibly appealing.

Ji Bai deliberately chose the most "relaxed" angle, edited the Weibo post, and sent it:

[I'm so happy! I ate two extra bowls of rice, and now my waist looks bigger! What should I do?]

A Weibo post that's both Versailles-esque and tea-themed.

The Weibo post immediately caused an uproar in the comments section.

Shen Yizhen's fans came running as soon as they smelled it, and they were all furious!

Your brother is in the hospital, and you're still happy? You still have the appetite to eat?

"It's fake! It's definitely photoshopped! AI technology is so advanced now, anyone can replace a head!"

"They flaunt what they lack, right? A bookworm who sits at home doing problems all day, and he has abs? You're kidding me!"

"What's the use of having nice muscles if you have a black heart and a poisonous mouth? You're just a jinx!"

"Our brother is hospitalized and disfigured, and you still have the nerve to post selfies here? Don't you have any sympathy?!"

"Photoshopping a skinny guy into a muscular man might fool some idiots, but do you really think people won't notice?"

……

Shen Yizhen's fans are furious, but the royalists are ecstatic.

No one expected the reversal to happen so quickly.

At this moment, he unleashed his full power, releasing all the pent-up energy he had been holding in all day.

"Wow, that figure is amazing! Even supermodels aren't this good!"

"I strongly suspect that the Emperor is indirectly proving that the person in the video isn't him!"

"No doubt about it, this is refutation of rumors, and the kind that's designed to destroy your spirit!"

"Master of Versailles, huh? You've gained weight? What do you call me then? An inflatable spirit?"

"Self-disciplined people are really scary. They can still get this physique by doing math every day. I lie flat all day with three layers of fat on my stomach. I'm so scared."

"I knew the Great Emperor was a deity descended to earth to undergo tribulation! Not only does his word become law, but his physique is also incredible. Does he even leave any room for us ordinary people to survive?"

"I suggest some fans open their eyes and take a look. Does the male lead you're spreading rumors actually have those abs? That V-line? Don't be so outrageous. You don't even do your homework before spreading rumors."

"Those who called others 'dead fat otaku' before, come out and show yourselves? Don't you feel ashamed?"

The female fans completely let loose:

"Ahhh, this is my favorite kind of thin skin!"

"Not the kind of bulky, oversized physique that's been injected with pesticides, but rather a perfectly proportioned, clean-cut, and not overly exaggerated youthful look!"

"The V-line extends below the waistband of the sweatpants, this composition is illegal!"

"Fellow fans, who understands? I originally came for her talent, but I ended up becoming a fan of her body!"

"Ji Shen, a friend of mine wants to see a full-body photo. She has a terminal illness, and the doctor said that only seeing a full-body photo of Ji Bai can cure her!"

"I'm going to print this photo out and put it by my bedside, praying to it every day. I'm counting on this to pass my final exams!"

"The Holy Son's body has reached its full potential; his skin is like jade, his lines like a dragon. This is the Holy Body, a golden form that mortals must not look directly at, for to do so will surely be captivated!"

……

A VIP ward.

Shen Yizhen leaned against the headboard, the gauze on her face still in place, the exposed half of her face so gloomy it looked like it could drip water.

He stared at Ji Bai's selfie showing off his abs on his phone screen, his teeth grinding together.

Why should I?!

He was hospitalized after being hit by a falling ceiling, his concert tour was postponed, and it's unknown whether he'll be left with scars on his face.

That high school student still had the nerve to post a picture of his abs at Versailles.

He has had a smooth career for five or six years since his debut, and has never suffered such a big setback with any one person.

Wang Nan sat on the sofa, her brows furrowed, and for the first time, a sense of regret welled up in her heart.

From initially stealing songs and infringing on copyrights, to later throwing dirty water and retaliating by demanding exorbitant prices, to fan cyberbullying and reporting backfiring, they gained nothing but trouble at every step.

Now even the celebrity's face is injured. The endorsement company has called several times to inquire about the situation. If this continues, the business deal might even fall through.

Having been in the entertainment industry for over a decade, her intuition told her that Ji Bai was a very strange person.

If this drags on any longer, who knows what might happen next.

The assistant huddled in a chair in the corner, carefully swiping the phone with the spare device.

Her brand-new phone was smashed to pieces, and Shen Yizhen didn't even mention compensation. She was furious but didn't dare to say anything, so she could only keep her head down and silently scroll through Weibo.

As she scrolled, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she abruptly looked up: "Sister Nan! Brother Zhen! It's a twist! Another twist!"

"What twist?" Shen Yizhen and Wang Nan looked up at the same time, their eyes filled with surprise and doubt.

"Renowned composer Yan Dahai has posted an article! He says that Ji Bai's song 'Once Upon a Time' plagiarized his work!" The assistant quickly handed over the phone.

"What?"

The two quickly went over to take a look.

Yan Dahai, a renowned lyricist and composer in China, posted a long article on his account just ten minutes ago:

[Explanation of the creation of the widely circulated song "The You of the Past"]

Recently, I received private messages from several friends in the industry, mentioning an original song that has been very popular recently, "The You of the Past".

After listening to it, I was very surprised. The core melody motifs and chorus progressions of the main verse and chorus of the work were highly similar to my unfinished work "Old Road". The chorus phrases were even completely identical.

This work is a draft that I started creating at the beginning of this year and has not yet been published. It is still in the polishing stage.

I do not know how Ji Bai obtained my unpublished work sample, but as the original author, I have a responsibility to clarify the facts.

We hope that Ji Bai can provide a reasonable explanation for this!

The document was signed by Yan Dahai and accompanied by two blurry screenshots of musical score manuscripts, making it look quite authentic.

Shen Yizhen read the Weibo post three times, then threw her head back and laughed, laughing so hard that tears almost streamed down her face. She didn't even care about the pain from the wound on her face.

"Hahaha! So he's a plagiarist!"

"I knew it! How could a high school student possibly write a song of this caliber? It's plagiarism! And it's plagiarism from Yan Dahai! Let's see how he dies this time!"

"Didn't he post statements on Weibo every day? Didn't he demand copyright? Didn't he demand infringement fees? Now he's the one who's infringing on copyrights!"

"Quickly, organize the fans and bombard him! This time, we must smash him to pieces!"

Wang Nan was also happy.

Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and a new lease on life was found.

Who is Yan Dahai?

A national first-class composer, winner of the Golden Melody Award for Lifetime Achievement, and a visiting professor at several top music academies in China, with so many representative works that they could be compiled into a best-of collection.

His words are to the music industry what Wiles's statement is to the mathematics world—a definitive statement.

When a big shot of this caliber personally gets involved, it's more effective than any online trolls.

Wang Nan had already mentally reviewed the subsequent public relations strategy:

First, let fans push "Ji Bai plagiarism" to the top of the trending searches, then hire a few music critics to analyze the similarities between the two songs, and when the public opinion has reached its peak, have the studio issue a statement saying "I am relieved that the truth has finally come to light."

The plan is perfect!

Wang Nan was just about to hire a public relations firm to launch a campaign when her phone suddenly rang!

Upon seeing the name on the screen, Shen Yizhen and Wang Nan were immediately startled!
