She leaned back lazily and smirked. "Sister Rong, I wasn't just talking nonsense. Everything I said was 100% real. There's solid proof behind it all. I'm not scared."

Sister Rong was both relieved and exasperated. "I was just worried you were running purely on adrenaline and started throwing out baseless accusations. If that had happened, even if you took down someone else, you would've ended up with a bad reputation too. But thank god—every single piece of gossip you spilled was actually true!"

Thinking back, Sister Rong realized that Yu Qianxia must have been fully prepared before going off like that. Sure, the process had been nerve-wracking, but the result? Absolute perfection.

"Honestly, Xiaxia, you were insanely badass this time. I swear, I need to keep refreshing my feed for updates. Jiang Shasha is definitely getting blacklisted, right? Hmph, she's been riding high for way too long—about time she crashed and burned."

With that, Sister Rong and her assistant, Xiao Ke, eagerly pulled out their phones and started munching on the latest drama.

Jiang Shasha's scandal remained a hot topic, trending non-stop until noon the next day. That's when the official follow-up finally dropped.

Authorities had stepped in, launching a full-scale investigation into Jiang Shasha's surrogacy case. The entire situation was publicly reported, and she, along with the others involved, would be facing legal consequences. Additionally, the broadcasting authority officially blacklisted her from the industry.

Her career was completely over.

Meanwhile, paparazzi caught Qi Yuanzhou and Jiang Shasha at the Civil Affairs Bureau—filing for divorce.

As for Qu Tongji? His wife was tearing into him, and the two were fighting like crazy. Even his brand, Meiji Beauty, was starting to take a hit.

After returning from the ancient town, Yu Qianxia went back to her rented apartment in A City.

She had gotten back late the night before, so she slept all the way until noon. The moment she got out of bed, Sister Rong's call came in.

"Xia Xia, Jiang Shasha is officially blacklisted. Now the show is down to just five of you. Director Qian said the voting will still go on as planned, and they won't be filling in her spot. The Pineapple Video voting platform will open at 2 PM. Let's keep an eye on the results. Honestly, I thought you'd be eliminated in the first round, but now? You actually have a really good chance of advancing." Sister Rong sounded cheerful and confident.

Yu Qianxia rubbed her eyes and replied in a lazy voice, "Mmm, I'll check later."

"If you get through, I'll need to adjust your schedule," Sister Rong said as the sound of flipping pages came through the phone. "Oh, and by the way, you have an award ceremony to attend tonight. Xiao Ke and I will pick you up at four."

"Got it." Yu Qianxia ended the call, got out of bed, and went to freshen up.

After throwing together a quick brunch, 2 PM arrived in no time. The voting for the first episode of 'Let's Go Travel Together' officially opened.

Yu Qianxia opened the Pineapple Video app and immediately spotted the voting section on the homepage. She tapped in, and the comment section was going wild—like a nonstop stream of floating bullet comments. Every fandom was going all out, spamming messages to rally votes for their idols.

Right now, the top spot belonged to Yan Zhirou. Her votes had already surpassed five million, putting her popularity way ahead of the others.

Second place was Liu Chuyang, sitting at three million votes.

Third was Lu Jianchen, with two million votes. The whole relationship contract scandal had definitely affected him, but over the past three years, he had built a solid fanbase of diehard supporters who weren't about to abandon him so easily.

Plus, after the messy rumors involving him and Yu Qianxia, his agency had acted fast—throwing the blame onto his manager to salvage his reputation. Thanks to that, his votes didn't completely tank.

Yu Qianxia scrolled down and saw her own name in fourth place.

Five hundred thousand votes.

The gap between her and third place was huge—totally unreachable. But honestly, she had expected worse, so this wasn't too bad.

At the bottom was Qi Yuanzhou, currently at 490,000 votes.

Qi Yuanzhou had been hit hard by the explosive news of his secret marriage and child. He had spent years building up a single-guy image, and now that illusion had completely shattered. Even though his team was scrambling to fix the situation—playing the victim card and shifting blame—most of his fans, who were there for his looks, had already jumped ship.

Yu Qianxia refreshed the page and saw that Qi Yuanzhou's votes had climbed up again.

Now, Qi Yuanzhou was in fourth place. She had dropped to fifth.

The numbers were insanely close, practically neck and neck. Every time she refreshed, the ranking shifted.

People in the comments had noticed too:

[Whoa, Yu Qianxia and Qi Yuanzhou's votes are so close! At this rate, Yu Qianxia is in real danger.]

[Honestly, Qi Yuanzhou's situation is pretty tragic. He got tricked into marriage by Jiang Shasha and raised her kid for five years. If he gets eliminated on top of that... man, that's just too rough.]

[I just finished watching the first episode edit, and I gotta say, Miss Yu is surprisingly real. She says what she thinks, no fake stuff. Kinda makes me wanna support her.]

[I think Qi Yuanzhou needs to stay more. Miss Yu already has good resources—she doesn't need to advance any further.]

[OMG, help!! The voting platform is about to close, and Yu Qianxia and Qi Yuanzhou are basically tied! This is too intense! Who's gonna get eliminated?!]

Hengcheng, B City.

A group of fans had been waiting outside the filming set when a tall, cold-looking figure appeared in the hallway. The moment they saw him, they screamed.

The security line was set two meters away, keeping a safe distance. The man had sharp, chiseled features, his expression cool and detached—an aura that screamed "stay away." But when facing his fans, he was unexpectedly polite.

He turned slightly to the side and gave a faint nod toward them. The fans were hyped but stayed disciplined, not rushing up to bother him.

It wasn't until he got into the car that their excitement gradually died down.

"Phone."

As soon as he was seated, the man reached out toward his assistant. Without hesitation, the assistant handed over his phone from the bag.

His long lashes lowered slightly, lips pressing into a thin line. With quick fingers, he opened the Pineapple Video app.
