Just then, the second female lead was seen secretly making a phone call, pretending it was the girl contacting her. However, on the other side of the stage, the girl was at the hospital holding medical test results, consulting something with a panicked expression.

The second female lead was tearing at her own clothes while asking the male lead for help. At the same time, the girl seemed to have learned something and was crying as she tried to contact the male lead, but he had no time to answer the phone. He was on his way to rescue the second female lead.

In the end, the male lead protected the second female lead and said to the girl: "You're so vicious, to actually scheme and frame..."

The girl tried to explain, but the male lead didn't believe her and cancelled her credit card. The girl said she was sick, but the male lead accused her of faking it.

In the end, the girl sought treatment alone, but photos were taken and uploaded online.

The male lead brought the second female lead to confront the girl and threaten her.

"You're just an ordinary person, we're celebrities. We can only sacrifice you to cooperate with our image cleansing. You love me so much, you'll agree, right? If you don't cooperate, I'll divorce you."

This time there was no change in lighting. Ji Fei, who was playing the patient, jumped right up from the wheelchair. As if a patient had suddenly regained vitality.

Using stage combat techniques, she slapped Qin Zhao to the ground, then turned and slapped the second female lead into Qin Zhao's arms.

Then she began repeatedly fake kicking the two of them.

"You dogs, you scum, slandering me! Even the police need evidence to solve cases, but you just hear something and convict me? You're so amazing, does the Police Station know? Should I turn you over to the country? After all, you can pass judgment without any proof, just based on someone's word. No, the country doesn't take garbage."

...

"Oh my god, when the Best Actor Team performed the drinking party incident before, I felt it was so dark and evil. Could it be that in a situation with absolutely no evidence, just because Wang Jiani said so, Sheng Wenyue believed his own wife did it?"

"Well, let's see if they dare to provide evidence later."

Sheng Wenyue and Wang Jiani, who had been called down, went backstage and overheard people whispering.

Sheng Wenyue's body stiffened, his face numb, as if struggling in the throes of death. He indeed had no evidence, but...

...

On stage, this time Qin Zhao was allowed to fight back according to the script. He angrily shouted: "You don't have evidence to prove your innocence either!"

Ji Fei directly kicked his face this time. Her stance made Qin Zhao, who was acting, seriously doubt whether his sister-in-law would take advantage of the situation to really kick his face.

"Do you hear yourself? You ask your own wife for evidence, but not others? What's this? She's fragile, so you feel more protective, so she must be innocent? If she just claimed I killed someone, you'd send me to prison tomorrow, right? I'm not fragile, I don't cry, so I must be the villain!"

...

Sheng Wenyue's whole body went numb, he could barely walk. He looked at Wang Jiani and saw her face had turned deathly pale.

The group of gossips backstage, who hadn't noticed them come down, were still actively discussing.

"I know, I remember this time - it was one of the scandals caught by paparazzi. If we could find out where the original wife was that day, there might be evidence to prove it."

"Even if we found out, maybe the Best Actor would just say it's fake like that recuperation photo used to overturn the case. After all, didn't they provide a clean bill of health? Do you think the Best Actor actually knows his wife might really be sick?"

Sheng Wenyue swayed, and would have fallen if his manager hadn't been supporting him.

Sick... impossible... impossible that she's really sick... This absolutely can't be true! Ruan Jia must be scaring him, taking revenge on him.

As if afraid to face it, Sheng Wenyue desperately denied it. But he couldn't stop the murmuring crowd.

"Now I'm completely convinced by the top-tier team. I feel like their version is the truth. The Best Actor really wronged his wife!"

Sheng Wenyue couldn't even control his expression anymore. Why was everyone saying this about him? He hadn't wronged her.

Their performance was indeed fake, but he had never denied everything Ruan Jia had done for him.

Because netizens wouldn't believe a simple clarification, Sheng Wenyue had no choice but to use a fictional method to get through this crisis.

It was just inconveniencing Ruan Jia a little. Wasn't it enough that he knew the truth in his heart?

Why were Qin Zhao and Ji Fei doing this? With such detailed content, the information was probably really provided by Ruan Jia.

But Ji Fei and Qin Zhao weren't righteous avengers either. They also distorted and uglified his and Ruan Jia's past, portraying him as an ungrateful, fickle person. In fact, he... he...

Sheng Wenyue wanted to refute, but his mind went blank. He didn't know where to start explaining those accusations, only feeling extremely wronged.

Ruan Jia actually wanted to go against him because of a misunderstanding? Completely unwilling to understand the truth?

He had never thought of betraying her, and still wanted to live a good life with her. Even if his heart had strayed, he loved Ruan Jia.

Just as Sheng Wenyue was lost in thought, lines similar to his inner monologue appeared in the stage play.

...

"I didn't betray you! I love you."

Ji Fei grabbed Qin Zhao's collar. Slap!

"You're quite wronged, aren't you? You hug and kiss her, but you love me."

Slap!

"You protect her everywhere, trampling my dignity underfoot to pamper and coax her, but you love me."

Slap!

"To protect her, slandering and framing me, making me attract all the criticism - it's not a problem, because you love me."

Slap!

"You controlled your lower half, didn't sleep with her, so you didn't wrong me, didn't cheat, you're open and aboveboard, pure and innocent."

Final slap!

"And if I show any resistance, I'm being unreasonable, distrusting you, not understanding you?!"

Qin Zhao's acting was naturally flawless, though his head was bobbing back and forth enough to give him a neck problem. But he quickly and professionally displayed an expression of shame and anger, as if still feeling he'd done nothing wrong.

"Let me ask you one thing: if I found a man right now and did the same things with him that you did, but I love you, would you be happy with that?"

Qin Zhao's face stiffened as he acted out shame and anger.

"Haha, how despicable! You hypocrite, you dare to speak of love? Your love is truly nauseating and revolting. I must have murdered and committed arson in my past life to deserve your love in this one."

...

At this moment, Sheng Wenyue really couldn't breathe. He clutched his head, in so much pain he had to quickly sit down against the wall and gasp for air. Wang Jiani could only look at Sheng Wenyue in panic and helplessness, worried she couldn't keep up the charade anymore.

This commotion immediately caught the attention of the backstage gossips. Everyone's eyes lit up, like badgers spotting melons in a field, desperate to approach and ask the main characters a few questions.

However, seeing how one of them looked like he was about to bash his head against the wall from a headache, they held back a bit.

Everyone gradually had a feeling that the tide had turned.

Qin Rong whispered, "He looks like he has a bit of a headache."

Xiao Tao analyzed, "I guess his brain is itchy, about to grow something new."

The manager was also completely flustered. He couldn't help saying, "Wenyue, don't get caught up in their narrative. How have you wronged her? You're the victim, you..."

...

On stage, Qin Zhao coincidentally showed a wronged expression.

Ji Fei let out a mocking laugh, "Do you think that controlling yourself not to cheat is already treating me well enough? That I should be grateful? After all, you gave up your true love just to give me a complete family. You shouldered the responsibility and made yourself live so miserably, you've already sacrificed enough, and I'm still hysterical - utterly unreasonable?"

But Ji Fei released him, letting him slump to the ground.

Qin Zhao couldn't help saying, "Isn't that true? I sacrificed true love for you. I'm a victim too."

"Are you sick in the head? I could have had a better life. If you want to cheat, just leave! Why drag me along? Stop feeling sorry for yourself and trying to guilt-trip me. Who wants your sacrifice? You think you're air, that I can't live without you? No, you're just a pile of stinking dog shit!"

...

At this, even the manager couldn't stand steady. Sheng Wenyue gazed blankly at the big screen, his face ashen. He no longer had the rationality to wonder how Ji Fei could guess his psychology so accurately. Those curses were like countless bolts of lightning striking him.

It made his vision go black repeatedly, and he actually tasted blood in his mouth.

The cursing continued on screen.

"Actually, you're more despicable, more shameless, more brazen than her. You *beep* *beep* *beep*..."

All the online and offline viewers who were listening intently: ?

The cursing got too vulgar and was censored? Huh? Wait.

"Why are you still censoring yourself? We want to hear it! Let us hear the cursing! It's hard to censor a live broadcast in real-time."

But Ji Fei insisted on self-censoring, after all, her cursing was a bit dirty.

However, the Qin family members present were thoroughly enjoying it.

Finally, the lights gradually dimmed.

Only one beam of light remained, illuminating the various landscape photos that slowly reappeared on the big screen.

Ji Fei didn't show her face, but her voice slowly emerged.

"Without you, I might meet someone who truly respects me, cares for me, supports me, and is devoted only to me. I deserve to be treated that way."

"Even if I don't meet someone like that, I can reclaim all the energy I wasted on you and use it to love myself!"

"Loving yourself well, that's the highest form of true love!"

All the spectators who had been excitedly following the drama were stunned by the last line.

They had originally thought it was just the Top Star Team versus the Best Actor Team, deliberately creating this kind of stage play.

But they didn't expect that you would actually tie it back to the theme in the end.

That's right, the topic of the competition was true love.

Nobody said that true love couldn't be love for oneself!

The audience felt inexplicably enlightened, and couldn't help but mentally applaud Ji Fei. You really are a clever little devil. Slap Sister, no, Banter Sister.

But when all the lights went dark, they thought the performance was over.

Ji Fei's voice appeared again, with a hint of playfulness, as if speaking to someone in particular.

"You'll always encounter a few nutcases in life. Just step on them and move on, otherwise how can you call it an exciting life? Look forward, a new life is beginning!"
