Some netizens were still discussing whether Wei Yi Rou Zhi had developed a mental illness when, in the early hours of the morning, they came across new trending topics and were so startled that their drowsiness vanished completely.
In the video, a woman in red with disheveled hair stood motionless by the roadside, extending a fair-skinned hand to wave gently. Yet in her other hand, which hung by her side, she unmistakably held a blood-stained dagger!
The driver let out a scream and slammed on the accelerator, speeding away.
Under the topic, more and more local netizens came forward to corroborate the story, claiming they had also seen this terrifying woman while working late into the night.
【That couldn’t possibly be human. She moved incredibly fast, disappearing from sight in just a few breaths.】
【I saw her too while scanning a shared bike on my way home from work. She started walking toward me, and I pedaled so hard my legs almost caught fire, wuwuwu.】
【I watched her drift into a residential complex and then vanish. Everyone working night shifts lately, good luck.】
【Damn, which residential complex was it?】
Netizens who saw the name of the complex commented: 【She’s quite principled—she doesn’t bother the poor.】
【We’re just netizens here; you’ve crossed a line!!】
When Yin Shuwei noticed her backend messages had died down, she put down her phone. It had to be said she was clever—using a lowlife’s phone to record a video, sending it to her own email, editing it under extreme pressure, and even adding subtitles.
Don’t ask how she knew how to do all this. Nowadays, companies expect this kind of versatile workhorse—it’s a long and tearful story.
However, after discovering that the backup phone was filled with evidence of her interactions with Shen Jin, Yin Shuwei found it hard to judge the original owner. She couldn’t tell whether it was a burst of lovesick sentimentality preserving sweet memories or a display of intelligence in retaining self-serving evidence.
Unfortunately, none of these were Shen Jin’s personal accounts. The Shen family had plenty of scapegoats to take the fall.
Yin Shuwei could only resort to launching an unexpected public-opinion war. These pieces of evidence turned out to be a great help—a silver lining in an otherwise unfortunate situation.
At this stage, Shen Jin hadn’t yet fully taken control of the Shen Group, so his influence wasn’t as extensive. As any gamer knows, you can’t let the enemy develop unchecked. You have to strike while they’re vulnerable and finish them off.
Now that Shen Jin has stumbled and gotten his feet wet by the river, if anything were to happen to Yin Shuwei, he would be the first suspect.
Feeling temporarily safe, Yin Shuwei was in high spirits. She freshened up in the bathroom, but when she came out looking for food, she saw Yu Xingzhi still sitting in the living room. The hallway light was slightly dim, and the cold glow from his phone made it difficult to discern his expression.
“Is there something you want to ask?” Yin Shuwei took the initiative.
After all, she had just helped Yu Xingzhi resolve a major problem, so seeing him now didn’t make her feel the slightest bit guilty.
Seeing Yu Xingzhi shake his head, Yin Shuwei thought he had a good sense of boundaries.
Remembering the messy events in the original plot, Yin Shuwei suddenly felt a pang of softness in her heart and decided to lay some things out clearly. “Shen Jin is a lunatic. You should stay away from him. I also know this marriage wasn’t your choice, so let’s use the show as a buffer. We can find a reason to divorce later.”
Being happily single, then suddenly gaining a rich and handsome husband… okay, it did sound pretty great.
But Yin Shuwei wasn’t the type to take advantage of others.
She was so upright it was almost eerie.
“Also,” Yin Shuwei suddenly remembered something very important, “the money my parents asked for—don’t give it to them. Otherwise, I’ll sneak photos of you looking awful while you sleep and post them online, causing your career to take a nosedive!”
“Alright,” Yu Xingzhi replied without further questions, though it was unclear whether he was agreeing to the first part or the second.
The busy Yin Shuwei obviously had no time to ponder this. As Yu Xingzhi stood up and headed toward the bedroom, he only saw her packing two dumbbells into her suitcase.
While the urban legend of the bloodstained female ghost was spreading like wildfire online, the official account of Lovers, But Beyond launched its planned promotional campaign with great fanfare.
Three couples, three lifestyles, and top influencers from different fields gathered together—directly igniting the trending charts!
Especially since the first to be introduced were Shen Jin and his wife, Yao Yueying. Rather than addressing marital issues on the show, it felt more like a documentary of Shen Jin doting on his wife.
The trailer was so excessively sweet that it give people cavities, with Shen Jin firmly establishing his loving-husband persona, as if slapping the face of some deranged female internet celebrity.
【Someone must be green with envy. How could Shen Jin possibly be interested in HER when his wife is so beautiful?】
【Maybe she might have delusions and just happened to run into a scam, and then lashed out by framing Shen Jin out of embarrassment and anger.】
【How does it feel, haters? Shen Jin isn’t pursuing this because he doesn’t want to engage with a lunatic. Why should he have to prove his innocence when he’s done nothing wrong?】
【Oh my god, why is Yu Xingzhi here too?! Since when did he get married????】
The show opted for a live broadcast format. As soon as the guest list was announced, reservations shot past a million. The moment the stream went live, tens of thousands of viewers flooded in, with comments flying rapidly across the screen.
The live broadcast was also a move out of desperation. The previous season’s guests had been way too abnormal—so much so that the editors were furious to the point of respiratory alkalosis, even high blood pressure. Several were hauled off by ambulances late at night, and afterward the production team couldn’t even recruit new staff.
The production team gritted their teeth and decided to try something new—If they were going to be pissed to death, they might as well all be pissed to death together.
Just as the audience was eagerly awaiting the sight of attractive men and women, several frog mascots in different colors suddenly and stiffly appeared on camera.
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple—six colors, six frogs, leaving the live stream in stunned silence.
【Is this… a toad feast?】
【My handsome, dazzling President Shen—how can he wear something like this?!】
【Alright, alright. Looks like after the last season, the production team has completely lost it .】
However, Director Zhen, in charge of overseeing everything, paid no attention to the bizarre wailing in the comments. Instead, had the off-screen voice directly cued the next segment.
Next came the moment to test the tacit understanding between the couples. The guests would probe each other and, without revealing their identities, determine whether the other person was their significant other.
【Wow, are they really going this far? Aside from the colors, all these frogs look exactly the same】
【I said frogs, FROGS! Can’t you speak properly? Believe it or not, I’ll sue you!】
【Toad, toad, toad, toad!】
【Actually, I think it’s fine. Wearing masks lets them be their true selves. Only real couples can see beyond the surface to what lies beneath.】
【I heard Yao Yueying doesn’t want to continue the marriage anymore, so President Shen joined the show to win his wife back. For his wife, President Shen is really going all out】
【So touching! President Shen is so devoted. Those who love deeply always give the most. 】
【Yao Yueying was never good enough for President Shen anyway. They should split up sooner rather than later so he doesn’t miss out on meeting his true love.】
Before coming on the show, the guests had filled out questionnaires, using a single sentence to briefly describe what kind of person their partner really was.
The audience had long grown tired of this kind of segment—usually just strengths and weaknesses, or petty complaints aired in public. No one expected that this time, two absolute prodigies seemed to have slipped into the mix.
The red frog holding a sign that read【Weak, Pitiful, and Helpless, Yet Fearless】and the blue frog holding a sign that read【Frail and Unable to Care of Themselves】gazed at each other from afar, both seemingly surprised by the other’s description.
【Case solved! These two definitely aren’t a couple. Which two ladies could be…this unconventional?】
【Who would describe their wife as ‘fearless’? Hahahaha!】
Amidst the cheerful comments, the green frog slowly approached the red frog. They shook hands politely.
【Did they recognize each other?】
【I’m starting to feel awkward. Just thinking about accidentally mistaking someone else’s husband or wife makes me not want to look.】
But just as their hands were about to part, the red frog suddenly stepped forward and executed a perfect over-the-shoulder throw. The green frog traced a perfect green arc through the air before landing with a thud, motionless on the ground.
The red frog, Yin Shuwei, raised her hand and announced, “Director, I think he might be a little dead.”
