“Damn, I’ve got goosebumps all over.”

“Is this really a scene they didn’t rehearse, performed with just a script they got moments before?”

“You call this improvisation? Teacher Yu, this is almost insulting! Should those other actors who can barely manage their lines with ‘1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6’ go back to retraining?”

“Sorry, Feifei, but I’m climbing over the fence to a new idol this moment. Sister Yu, your performance is incredible!”

“No way, absolutely no way! How can someone be so beautiful, act so brilliantly, and not even come from a formal acting background? I refuse to believe it! This must be an illusion. Someone wake me up!”

“Have you woken up yet?”

“Turned myself into a pig’s head trying. Woke up and realized it wasn’t an illusion. Ugh, Your Highness, your humble servant has arrived too late!”

“Yu Rouyin is a hidden gem! Are people in the entertainment industry blind? How have they not realized she’s a true talent until now?”

“Don’t you think the plot of this stage play hits even harder?”

“I want to say… I’ve experienced something similar. They all said I seduced my boss, but the truth was that I was sexually harassed. The boss’s wife even warned me, and my colleagues ostracized me. In the end, I quit, because… it’s true that the weak can’t fight the powerful.”

“I’ve been through something like this too. I slapped my boss and called him an idiot on the spot! But I understand those who freeze in the moment. As girls, we’ve been conditioned from a young age to not make a scene, to stay quiet, and some people are too scared to resist... Sisters, don’t be afraid. They’re the ones at fault, they should be the ones who fear!”

“I just want to say that flirting when there’s a power imbalance is harassment. Especially when the other person can control your career.”

“Is it because of my looks that I haven’t experienced this? If I looked like Yu Rouyin, would I not have been able to avoid such things? After being hurt, we’re blamed and gossiped about. Why do they bully women like us?”

“As a guy, I just want to tell the sisters above: in situations like this, make a scene. Let them know you’re not a pushover! Only then will they not dare.”

“Hey, am I the only one reminded of that incident that was trending for a whole day, with thousands of hate comments?”

“Oh yeah, the one where she was caught entering a writer’s room?”

“No, it was the one where she was seen going into the male lead’s trailer…”

“See, I knew something was fishy. If you look at those incidents through the lens of this play, they all have issues!”

“With no concrete evidence, just the man hiding, the man’s wife yelling accusations, and some vague testimonies and photos. Damn, this play mirrors that exactly! So this is what the truth looks like!”

“I feel like I was used as a pawn back then. Damn it, I’m going to curse them out!”

The “Wives’ League” hadn’t even had time to react when two of their Weibo accounts were flooded, and their husbands were trending for all the wrong reasons.

As the remaining acts of the play continued, old cases were dug up one by one. The “Wives’ League” hadn’t anticipated that this play would target them so precisely, leaving none of them unscathed.

No emergency measures could counter it—just like before.

Some husbands even shifted the blame to their wives, claiming they had kept silent at the time and stayed in the shadows.

Die-hard fans still held onto their beliefs.

But karma comes full circle, and other victims emerged to expose these husbands. Suddenly, new scandals were posted on the “wall of shame,” despised by millions online, lined up with their fellow scoundrels.

Yu Rouyin’s stunning performance drew in new fans by the minute, and her Weibo follower count soared. Some were captivated by her acting, some felt guilty for past misunderstandings, and others empathized with her suffering. The tide of public opinion flipped completely.

It seemed the only detractors left were professional trolls, and a few so-called “victims” from the past.

By the end of the performance, those “victims’” masks had finally been stripped away. Not only online, but even people around them started to curse them out. After all, they had often slandered Yu Rouyin as if it were only right.

…

“Oh, didn’t you say your husband had been hurt because of something Yu Rouyin did when she was a child, that her sugar daddy was persecuting him?”

“You shameless creature, get out here! I can’t believe I fell for your story, thought you were pitiful, and even sent my daughter to your house for tutoring. Now I understand why my daughter never wanted to go—she said it wasn’t because she disliked studying but because you kept putting your hands on her! I’m going to kill you!”

“You three-legged scumbag, still can’t curb your filthy desires. Back then, it was because you found Yu Rouyin beautiful that you targeted a young girl. Hypocrite! Beast in human clothing!”

…

“The boss fired her. Who wouldn’t, with morals as low as that? Saying she had to transfer schools in middle school because of Yu Rouyin? It’s clear now she was jealous because all the boys liked Yu Rouyin and made up stories to bring her down.”

“From what I’ve read, Yu Rouyin was the real victim. The culprits won’t admit it, and even the bystanders treated her like that. If my daughter ever faced something like this, I’d really take a blade to someone.”

“To not unite against the same enemy is one thing, but to keep slandering her afterward? Disgusting. Just for male approval, they kept it going. Pathetic.”

“Those three middle school girls’ identities have already been uncovered. They’re married, living peaceful lives now, but it’s time they paid for what they did back then.”

…

“I used to think that family was tragic, that they lost their son over a girl. Turns out she didn’t even know him! He was infatuated on his own, unlucky enough to be caught up with such a family.”

“And they were the ones who caused their son’s death! Humiliating him without care, making a laughingstock of him. Someone already struggling with mental health—how could he survive that? A psychologist even warned them, but they ignored it. After he died, they refused to reflect and blamed someone else instead. Unbelievable.”

“It’s hilarious. Just because he died, they think they have the right to ruin someone else’s life? Yu Rouyin’s life was shattered, and after all these years, they still cursed her openly. Where’s the conscience? Who’s really guilty here? Don’t they fear retribution?”

“Maybe retribution’s come. I heard they were in a car accident not long ago…”

…

Meanwhile, some sharp-eyed fans started questioning deeper issues.

Why had Yu Rouyin’s company never cleared her name all these years? Now, her redemption was only possible through her rival team’s efforts.

Something was wrong. Her company was very suspicious!

Gradually, people started digging into Yu Rouyin’s company.

At that point, insiders who couldn’t stay quiet revealed what had been going on, giving the public a glimpse of the mistreatment Yu Rouyin had endured over the years.

Some of the contract terms were so outrageous, they left netizens gaping.

A ten-year contract with a fixed salary? While others earned millions, Yu Rouyin was treated like an ordinary worker?

Some even started questioning the legality of the contract. If it was legal, then it was surely unethical. And what should be done about an unethical company? Report it for tax issues! If they exploited a female star like this, surely their taxes weren’t in order!

Yu Rouyin’s former company heads were furious, desperately trying to reach her for help to clear things up.

But Yu Rouyin, having poured her heart and soul into her five-act performance, was so exhausted that she was mentally spent. Amidst thunderous applause, she was taken backstage to rest, dazed and unaware that her fate had already shifted. She fell asleep, leaning back in a chair, as if she had survived a storm.
