So I'm the Villainess- Screw the Plot, Let's All Go Down Together! - Chapter 5
As the guests on site recognized who had arrived, they collectively gasped.
Xie Jinyan?!
The so-called mystery guest turned out to be Xie Jinyan?!!
The Xie Family’s enterprises were vast, spanning the globe, and they practically controlled half of Hua Country’s economic lifeline. They were the true elite, residing at the pinnacle of the social pyramid.
And Xie Jinyan, being the eldest grandson of the Xie Family, was highly likely to become the future head of the family, a status beyond words.
Yet, such a person, leaving behind a massive family business, had stepped into the entertainment industry with one foot.
It was said that this Young Master entered the industry on a whim, purely for fun, and unexpectedly became a top star.
In three years since his debut, he had only released one solo album.
He rarely appeared in public, and even occasionally taking an advertisement was considered active work for him, truly capricious.
Such a person, standing at the top of the pyramid overlooking the masses, would actually participate in a variety show?
A dating reality show, no less?!
Is this even reasonable?!!
Unlike the dead silence on site, the premiere live stream room was in chaos, with screams echoing from all types of viewers.
[Ah!! Xie Jinyan! It’s actually Xie Jinyan!! (Screaming, twisting, crawling in darkness)]
[Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap! I must say, production team, you’ve got some skills to bring such a difficult person here. With his net worth, inviting him must have cost you a fortune!]
[Is this stunning beauty real? Sorry, Emperor Fu, please allow me to switch sides for a second.]
[Damn, how can Xie Jinyan be this handsome? What is he doing on a dating reality show? Is there any woman in this world worthy of him? No!]
[How can my husband be on a dating show and date others! Ahhh, I won’t allow it!!!]
[Xie Jinyan on a dating show? Very well, this world has truly gone mad.]
From the moment Xie Jinyan appeared on the live stream, hot searches about him flooded Weibo, almost instantly taking over the entire platform.
Fans and onlookers surged into the live stream room like a tide, doubling the viewership in a short time.
Unlike the excitement or shock of the crowd, Shen Zhi had only two words in her mind-Doomed.
In the novel, Xie Jinyan was undoubtedly the male supporting character.
Originally a carefree person playing through life, he inexplicably fell hopelessly in love with the female protagonist.
Perhaps it was the author’s way of highlighting the uniqueness of the female protagonist.
Jiang Muxue, faced with a male supporting character who surpassed Fu Zhihan in wealth, status, and even looks, remained unmoved.
In the end, Xie Jinyan, unable to attain his love, turned dark and even attempted to imprison the female protagonist.
Of course, the male protagonist Fu Zhihan, like a god descending, rescued the female protagonist.
Xie Jinyan, in the ensuing chaos, was accidentally shot in the heart by a rookie cop and died on the spot.
When Shen Zhi first read this ending, she was both amused and frustrated by the absurdity of the plot.
A rookie cop? Accidental shooting? And it just happened to hit the heart?
Are you kidding me?
However, despite her complaints, Shen Zhi couldn’t quite remember why Xie Jinyan fell for Jiang Muxue, nor did she recall many details of the dating reality show.
But she was certain-
In the novel, Xie Jinyan did not participate in this dating reality show.
Why had the plot deviated so significantly? Could it be that her transmigration caused a butterfly effect?
But she had just arrived and hadn’t had the chance to do anything yet; logically, even if the plot changed, it shouldn’t be now.
So, Xie Jinyan appearing here now, does it mean the plot has accelerated?
He already has feelings for Jiang Muxue.
Or even…
He’s already in love with Jiang Muxue and came here for her?
If that’s the case, if she and Jiang Muxue accidentally have any conflict on the show, wouldn’t he be the first to get rid of her?
Thinking of this, Shen Zhi instinctively glanced in Xie Jinyan’s direction.
To be fair, Xie Jinyan truly had the capital to be capricious.
She wasn’t familiar with his talents, so she wouldn’t comment on that.
But that face, even Shen Zhi, who had seen many handsome men in her past life, couldn’t help but be amazed.
Stars are human too, and even the most perfect people inevitably have some minor flaws.
But not Xie Jinyan.
With his sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, red lips, and white teeth, his face was so handsome it was almost demonic. Standing nearly 1.9 meters tall, with broad shoulders and long legs, he was practically a walking clothes hanger.
However, now was not the time to admire a man’s looks.
Shen Zhi watched as the tall, imposing figure approached, trying to discern something from his face.
As he walked closer, he didn’t spare Jiang Muxue a glance.
Shen Zhi’s heart settled.
But in the next second, the man locked eyes with her.
Shen Zhi’s heart leapt again!
Could it be that Xie Jinyan had already set his sights on her?!
After all, if he could pull off a yandere act like imprisoning the female protagonist, crushing a minor character like her would be a piece of cake!
Though it was just a glance, it felt like a long time had passed.
In the midst of the silence.
The man seemed to study her face for a moment, then raised an eyebrow and, without any context, said-
“Nice moves.”
“…?”
After saying this, Xie Jinyan didn’t bother with Shen Zhi’s momentarily petrified figure. With a slight smirk, he bypassed the stunned crowd and casually found a spot to stand.
At this moment, Shen Zhi also came to her senses.
Her leap from the second floor must have been inadvertently seen by him.
But…
Why couldn’t he say something privately? Why did he have to make such a remark in front of everyone?!
Initially, Shen Zhi felt a vague sense of camaraderie between herself and Xie Jinyan, like two kindred spirits. But now, that feeling was completely gone.
She realized that Xie Jinyan had a bit of a mischievous streak.
Xie Jinyan’s nonchalant comment caused a stir in the live stream room.
Suddenly, the screen was filled with question marks.
[? What the heck? Xie Jinyan and Shen Zhi actually know each other?]
[No way, right?]
[What does “nice moves” even mean? Seriously, what kind of riddle are they playing?]
[Although Xie Jinyan’s words seem quite inexplicable, it’s more like mockery than familiarity.]
[Could Shen Zhi actually know some martial arts? Don’t make me laugh.]
The guests on site clearly didn’t expect Xie Jinyan, who usually held himself above others, to ignore everyone else and actively speak to Shen Zhi.
Though his words were rather puzzling, the two seemingly unconnected individuals indeed seemed to know each other.
Fu Zhihan found the scene before him incredibly irritating.
His face darkened instantly.
She had shamelessly followed him onto the dating reality show, yet now she was flirting with another man right under his nose…
How dare she?!
Or perhaps…
Is this her way of playing hard to get, a tactic to attract attention?
Yes, that must be it.
She must be trying to use this method to catch his attention.
“Alright, now that all the guests have arrived, let’s start choosing rooms!”
Upon hearing this, Fu Zhihan smiled inwardly.
Just watch, no matter how much she pretends not to care about him, when it comes time to choose rooms, Shen Zhi will definitely pick the one closest to him.
He knows her too well.
