After Being Scummed

Yin Bai once thought that Xiao Nian truly loved her. So, she graciously provided her with the best resources, elevating her to a revered position. After achieving fame and success, Xiao Nian, in the name of true love, unceremoniously kicked her aside. Yin Bai became the most ridiculed patron in the entertainment industry.

On the night when Xiao Nian received the Best Actress award, she publicly declared her lifelong love in front of Yin Bai, infuriating her. She stormed off to the parking lot, where she took her anger out on her car with a cane, creating a resounding cacophony. Coincidentally, this awkward scene was witnessed by Xiao Nian’s arch-rival, Zuo Jing You.

Yin Bai promptly put away the cane, cleared her throat, adjusted her sleeves, and casually greeted her, “Long time no see, Miss Zuo. The weather today is quite pleasant, isn’t it?” Zuo Jing You remained calm and composed, saying, “Ms. Yin, please rest assured, I didn’t see anything.” After saying this, Zuo Jing You walked past Yin Bai, leaving her so infuriated that she nearly snapped her cane that evening.

A few days later, Yin Bai encountered Zuo Jing You and another person having an argument in the hospital corridor. The man on the other side, with red eyes, uttered a memorable line, “You only lost a husband who didn’t love you, but he lost genuine love!” Yin Bai paused, locking eyes with Zuo Jing You’s profound gaze. She then sympathetically mouthed, “I didn’t hear anything…”

Yin Bai: I thought I was the little prince who tamed the rose. In the end, I realized I wasn’t. I was just a little rose with four thorns who thought I could do as I pleased.

Zuo Jing You: I used to think that in love, as long as I did well enough, it would be sufficient. But love isn’t that simple; it’s not enough for just one person to do well. So this time, I will learn to love you properly.
