It all started with discussions on a forum.
"A rich, beautiful heiress spent 10 million just to have a meal with Zhou Yi!"
The headline alone was explosive and eye-catching—Zhou Yi, a wealthy beauty, and 10 million—each term was buzzworthy.
"A stunning heiress showed up in our class today, offering 10 million to have dinner with Zhou Yi, and he turned her down! Proof included (photo)."
The original poster briefly described the incident and then shared a photo of Zhou Yi sitting with Kong Huaijin.
The comments were flooded with skepticism and envy:
"I’d believe a beauty asked Zhou Yi out, but 10 million? No way."
"That’s exaggerated. Even A-list celebrities don’t charge that much for appearances, and he’s not even a big star."
"Another delusional Zhou Yi fangirl making up wild stories? 10 million? Hilarious."
"Probably a paid actor. Now they’re staging dramas in classrooms?"
"Maybe she’s just messing around. Don’t take it seriously."
Amid the skepticism, others quickly countered:
"That Hermès bag on the table costs over 500k, dude. Don’t talk if you don’t know—it just makes you look ignorant."
"She’s gorgeous! Doesn’t even look like a typical heiress—more like a CEO. So commanding."
"I’d pay to be with a woman like that, forget 10 million! How can Zhou Yi be so picky?"
"Anyone calling her an actor is blind. That’s Kong Huaijin, the eldest daughter of Huaihai’s richest family! Damn, Zhou Yi’s on another level."
"Wait, the richest family’s daughter???"
"Just looked it up—she’s the executive director of Huaiyuan Group, daughter of a Forbes-listed billionaire worth 200 billion. So yeah, she’s a legit tycoon."
The revelation stunned everyone.
Aside from Su Ning, others at Huaihai University recognized Kong Huaijin—wealthy elites in the city’s upper circles had seen her before. Soon, her identity was confirmed in the thread.
Even the original poster was shocked by Kong Huaijin’s status. They’d only guessed she was wealthy from the conversation.
No wonder 10 million sounded like pocket change to her—she could easily afford it.
The news quickly spread to Zhou Yi’s fan community and soon trended at #10 on Weibo’s hot searches.
The photo of the two, with their striking looks, sparked imaginations—just sitting and talking, they could’ve been straight out of a romance drama.
Add their unique dynamic—a female CEO and a college guy, with her pursuing him—and netizens were hooked on the potential love story.
"Someone get me a ticket to this CEO’s love train. I’d wait in France from dawn till dusk."
"The power dynamic of a CEO and a college guy? Unreal. Even novels wouldn’t dare write this."
"So the trope is real—CEOs really do throw millions just to dine with their crushes."
"I’d marry this CEO, even as a concubine."
"Y’all are obsessing over the CEO, but no one’s talking about how hot the guy is? If I were rich, I’d spoil him too, ugh."
"That’s Zhou Yi! He’s a CEO himself—this is a power-couple romance. Strong x strong lovers, rejoice!"
"He’s also a musical genius. Anyone heard his songs ‘Mountains and Seas’ or ‘Blue Lotus’? I’m obsessed."
Given the hype, many Weibo influencers jumped on the trend, spinning wild tales about Zhou Yi and Kong Huaijin, even fabricating identities—like Zhou Yi being the son of foreign royalty.
Under these posts, Zhou Yi’s fans flooded the comments with his photos, achievements as an entrepreneur, and musical feats, drawing even more followers to his fan community.
"Weighed myself and saw I’d gained weight. Thought it was impossible—then the scale trembled. Oh, it was you stepping into my heart."
"Baby, do me—wait, no—be my baby? Sorry, I’m flustered. Be mine, baby? Help! Yi-gege took me for a drive, then suddenly sped up on the highway. I begged, ‘Slow down… too fast…’ tears streaming, but he wouldn’t ease up."
"My love for you spills down both legs [heart][heart][heart]."
"Oh, it’s you! Remember in middle school when we sat together? You’d always nap during tests, then wake up and copy my answers—front, back, everywhere. I’d say ‘stop,’ but you’d pin me down and keep copying."
"Unlike these smooth-talkers, I can only stammer for you."
The fans’ bold, unfiltered comments left Zhou Yi’s older supporters sweating, fearing the community might get banned any day.
While many admired or envied Zhou Yi, others couldn’t hide their bitterness.
Enter Zhang Wu.
Gritting his teeth, he hammered away at his phone, too fired up to even notice Zhou Yi and the CEO’s conversation. His mission? Shut down every hater with style.
Zhang Wu—next-level savage, legendary clapbacks:
"If your face could generate electricity, nuclear plants would shut down worldwide."
"You’re like a QR code—unreadable until scanned."
"Good thing you’re not a flower, or cows would boycott manure."
"To some people, I’d just say: my hand was made for your face."
"Brains and intestines look similar, but yours must share the same contents."
"Your face is your body’s miracle—expandable, shrinkable, even disposable!"
Zhang Wu’s username? "Yi-Gege’s Delusional Fan," male gender. With this battle, he became infamous—not just among Zhou Yi’s fans, but across fandom circles.
"Look at Zhou Yi’s fans. We need this level of wit to destroy antis."
"Reach this level of anti-hate, then call yourself a true fan."
"If you can’t out-roast ‘Delulu,’ you’re not worthy of your idol!"
"Can we recruit Delulu as our anti-hate leader? We need that talent. So jealous!"
"Delulu" became the fandom’s affectionate nickname for Zhang Wu.
Zhou Yi became the envy of many—not just for his female fans, but for having such a devoted male supporter.
Some even suspected it was Zhou Yi himself, but it was debunked—Zhang Wu was typing away while Zhou Yi wasn’t even on his phone, exchanging only occasional words in class.
Kong Huaijin only found out she’d trended with Zhou Yi by noon.

with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races!

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
