In the camera frame, Zhou Yi smiled gently and said, "There's no need to send me any gifts. Your support in downloading Moyin is the greatest encouragement for me."
"As for the photo incident, feel free to ask anything you'd like to know. It's late, and I don’t want to keep everyone up."
[No no no, I want to watch you fall asleep. Holding my phone like this while watching the livestream makes me feel like I'm dating CEO Zhou.]
[CEO Zhou, do you know who’s behind this? Did you offend someone? This whole thing feels so random.]
[Brother Liyu’s emotions are so steady. Most people would’ve already lost their temper over something like this.]
[He’s worried about me staying up too late… Are we getting a little too close, CEO Zhou?]
[Bro, I just wanna know how you made so many women fall for you. A friend of mine is terminally ill, and this is the only thing that’ll let him die in peace.]
[Let’s be real, you’re probably loving this, right? So many women confessing to you on Weibo—maybe it’s all staged.]
[Exactly. Weibo crashes, and then Moyin drops right after? Feels like a planned marketing stunt.]
Zhou Yi’s livestream wasn’t just watched by fans and curious onlookers—there were also haters and trolls, and some of the comments were filled with malicious assumptions.
Seeing the last comment, Zhou Yi couldn’t help but laugh. His gaze turned cold as he replied,
"So you’re saying I predicted Weibo’s crash? Or that Weibo deliberately sabotaged itself just to let Moyin take off?"
[LMAO, do these haters even have brains?]
[Weibo cutting itself down just to help its competitor? Hahaha, someone submit this to the comedy bot.]
[If Boss Jia heard this, would he wake up in the middle of the night fuming, yelling, “Bastard! Are you calling me an idiot?!”]
Zhou Yi sighed helplessly. Unfazed, he took a sip of water. Even when faced with malice, his tone remained calm, without a trace of anger.
"Though I did study advertising, I’d never stoop so low as to use something like this for marketing."
Then, his expression shifted. His voice softened, and his demeanor turned gentle and humble.
"As for why these remarkable women like me… you really shouldn’t be asking me. I’m not in a position to answer. I can’t arrogantly speculate on their reasons."
"Honestly, their affection makes me uneasy because I don’t believe I’m as great as they say. If anything, I’m the lucky one to have earned their admiration."
"The same goes for all of you. Sometimes, I worry that one day I might fall short of your expectations."
[I’ll always love someone like CEO Zhou—talented yet humble.]
[This answer alone tells me exactly why Zhou Yi is so loved. He deserves it.]
[For real. I can’t stand guys who brag about how many women are into them.]
[CEO Zhou, do you believe in love at first sight? Because I just fell for you at first sight!]
Though the last comment was likely a joke, Zhou Yi answered earnestly.
"I do. Love at first sight is the sudden eruption of accumulated aesthetic appreciation. Like… I’ve seen many beautiful things, and in my mind, I’ve pieced together an imaginary figure. But the moment I see you, that illusion becomes real—and my heart skips a beat."
[Oh my god… This man is unreal. When he said that, it felt like a confession.]
[My heart is racing. CEO Zhou speaks like he’s reciting poetry—so mesmerizing.]
[“The moment I see you, that illusion becomes real—and my heart skips a beat.” OMG! How do you just casually drop lines like this? Now I get why those CEOs are into you.]
[Forget the gossip—I’m more curious about how you built such a strong mindset. With so many people hating online, how do you deal with it?]
Zhou Yi smiled faintly, his tone relaxed and unhurried.
"Haters? There’s no need to care. If someone insults you once, but you remember it for two years, then it’s as if they insulted you for two years. If you remember it forever, then they’ve insulted you forever."
"But if you don’t let it bother you, they can’t hurt you. Maybe it’s because I’ve been through enough pain that I’ve learned to let go."
At the last sentence, Zhou Yi feigned a flicker of sorrow. His eyes dimmed for a few seconds before he recomposed himself for the camera.
It seemed there were wounds he wasn’t ready to reopen—a past he’d rather not face.
That fleeting expression instantly won his fans’ sympathy and affection.
[Honestly, I came here for the drama, but now I’m hooked on CEO Zhou too. He must’ve had a tough journey to get here.]
[My heart aches for him. You’re too good for this world.]
[He brushes off his past suffering so casually. My Liyu, I wish I’d known you sooner.]
[As a fellow orphan, I really understand how CEO Zhou feels.]
[I want to learn from his mindset. I’m way too fragile, ugh.]
[Honestly, CEO Zhou should share his story. It’d inspire so many people. Write a book—I’ll be the first to buy it!]
"Not all the snowfalls in a person’s life are visible to others. Everyone has their own struggles, their own battles. Life isn’t smooth sailing. Painful experiences must be endured alone—no one else can shoulder them for you. We all carry our own burdens."
"Though I was an orphan, though I’ve suffered, there were also people who reached out to help. So I’m lucky in my own way. I don’t believe in wallowing in self-pity. Just keep moving forward with conviction. The storms will pass, and spring will come."
"And that’s how I’ve made it here, standing before all of you today."
As he finished, Zhou Yi’s eyes curved into crescents, brimming with warmth and encouragement.
[He called us spring… I’m crying.]
[My winter hasn’t ended yet…]
[This is straight-up motivational literature. A man who could coast on his looks, yet he’s this inspiring? How can I not love him?]
[Brother Liyu deserves all the love in the world! Starting today, I’m his lifer! Even if the apocalypse comes, I’ll still adore him!]
[I’m done. Completely won over. He’s not the player—I’m the clown…]
......
Clips of Zhou Yi’s livestream spread rapidly, and unsurprisingly, he trended again.
By the next morning, his name was all over Weibo’s hot searches.
You’d think Weibo would panic, right? Suppress the trends? Remove the tags?
Not at all.
Because they hadn’t yet realized the terrifying power of Moyin.
Yet in the near future, Zhou Yi—a figure they had dismissed as merely riding the wave of popularity—would become their greatest rival.
The next day, Zhou Yi opened his system attribute panel and was utterly stunned by the numbers displayed for both his affection points and balance.
Just one livestream... and he’d earned this much affection?
[Shocking! Leaked photo allegedly shows the author?!]
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
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)
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.
