    Chapter 1: Transmigration – Did I Get Retribution for Swearing Online for the First Time?……

    “Cousin!! Emergency!!!”

    “Cousin!! Emergency!!!”

    In a villa located in the most luxurious area of the city center, Fu Yang, who was asleep, tossed and turned in his quilt, finally getting disturbed enough to sit up.

    The silky quilt slid down from his upper body, exposing his eight-pack abs.

    In the full-length mirror not far away, a handsome and sharp face under a messy bird’s nest hairstyle was reflected. If you only looked at this scumbag playboy face and his bare upper body, you would think you had accidentally entered some high-end club.

    But in reality, Fu Yang was just a third-year graduate dog who had stayed up for three consecutive days and nights in the laboratory, his brain capacity exhausted, and had been woken up less than an hour after falling asleep.

    In short – he was just dozing off!!!

    Fu Yang’s complexion, due to severe sleep deprivation, was terrible. He turned over to reach for his constantly ringing phone that had fallen under the bed. The screen lit up – Xie Wanwan.

    “Cousin! Emergency!” The irritable female voice was still clawing its way into Fu Yang’s brain.

    When did this little brat change his ringtone? It’s so annoying!

    “No money, not lending.” He quickly answered the phone, refusing outright, and was about to hang up.

    The person on the other end of the phone was quite speechless, saying, “I have plenty of money! It’s not about that. Spark released a new album. Ye Xiao’s lyrics are the least in the entire group. Spark is bullying my Xiao Emperor; it’s confirmed! Hurry up and log on, let’s fight!!”

    Hearing “Spark,” Fu Yang became a bit more awake.

    He was a physics master’s student at B University, also minoring in sociology. Last semester, his sociology professor had him do a project on fan circle culture, so Fu Yang, for convenience, started his research from Spark, the idol boy group his cousin liked.

    Spark, Chinese name Huāhuǒ, Fireworks, also known as Huǒtuán, Fire Group, and later jokingly called Xiǎohuǒtuán, Little Guy Group by people, is a Mud/Flop Band in the current domestic entertainment scene.

    Xie Wanwan is a little fanatic of Ye Xiao among the members of the Fire Group, and also a Gold-Plating Bigshot in the fan circle. The little pocket money she has is used to buy Ye Xiao’s endorsements and merchandise.

    Fu Yang was thus inspired to write a paper titled *“From ‘Small Card’ to Fan Circle Economy: The Interaction of Fan Consumption Behavior and Socio-Economics”* to deal with his sociology professor’s first assignment.

    After being discovered by Xie Wanwan, this woman clung to him like a ghost, often running out of money after buying so-called cards worth thousands of yuan and asking him for help. After going back and forth, Fu Yang was forcibly sold on her for half a year and also became a fan of Ye Xiao.

    After all, admiring the strong is human nature. Ye Xiao is undoubtedly the strongest in Spark, the main dancer, main vocalist, and rapdāndāng, responsibility taker/in charge of rap, simply an all-around Ais. His popularity is even Top in the group, known as Xiao Emperor. There’s a saying circulating outside: “The Little Guy Group is a Mud/Flop Band, but Ye Xiao is not a Flop.”

    In terms of strength, popularity, fanbase, and public appeal, Ye Xiao is far ahead of the rest. Such a money-making tree, the Little Guy Group should be holding him up, so how could they be bullying him?

    “What exactly is going on?”

    Fu Yang asked while logging onto his computer. Sure enough, he saw that the topic had already hit the trending searches on Weibo. He clicked it open and heard the answer coming from his phone –

    “It’s Xu Chengyue, that scheming green tea, leading the bullying of Xiao Emperor! It’s rumored that the lyrics originally belonging to Xiao Emperor were all taken away by him. It’s simply too much!”

    Fu Yang looked at the computer screen. The evidence of the Xiao fans’ defense of their rights was very comprehensive. The first picture seemed to be a paper version of the lyrics distribution for Spark’s new album title song, *Po Jun*; the second picture was a screenshot of PP Music after the new song was released.

    No wonder the fans were furious. The part that originally belonged to Ye Xiao in the first picture was completely grafted onto Xu Chengyue in the second picture.

    Xu Chengyue… that Fire Group Flop leader who is good for nothing besides his face? And even the face he’s most proud of is rumored to have been surgically enhanced recently.

    In this day and age, Flop (lowest popularity in the group) dares to steal lyrics from Top (highest popularity in the group)?

    To be fair, Xu Chengyue once had his moment of Top glory. Back then, with his face, he was called a once-in-ten-thousand-year beauty by Japan and South Korea. And according to Xie Wanwan, when the Fire Group first debuted three years ago, Xu Chengyue was the undisputed Top. The leader position at the time was also voted for by fans with real money. As for why he became a Flop – it can only be said that his character is not good.

    He usually maintained a perfect idol persona of gentle spring breeze and rain, but after the incident of Xu Chengyue getting drunk and hitting someone, ending up in the hospital a year ago, his persona completely collapsed and he was scolded by the entire internet to get out of the entertainment industry.

    After that, Xu Chengyue was extremely low-key. Mentioning his name, the impression in everyone’s mind became – a notorious pretty vase.

    With a criminal record of violent assault, now the matter of snatching lyrics has been nailed down, and with the extremely combative Xiao fans digging up numerous “evidence” of Xu Chengyue targeting Ye Xiao from previous group videos.

    Soon, the hashtag #XuChengyueBullyingTeammates# was trending on searches with people cursing.

    The Xiao fans went all out, and the bright red dazibao (big-character posters) directly dominated the forum.

    And Xu Chengyue’s remaining face-based fans were still trying to defend him in the hashtag –

    [Getting scolded for pouring water for the whole group but not for Ye Xiao? Does Ye Xiao not have hands or is he a giant baby!]

    [Ye Xiao is the giant baby in charge of the group, who dares to question]

    [Are those who say Xu Chengyue has more lyrics conscientious? The last time every year, wasn’t he the one at the bottom, the giant baby starts jumping after being at the bottom once]

    [Chengyue is the sky, Chengyue is the earth. Taking a step back, what if our little captain just can’t stand Ye Xiao? Ye Xiao’s arrogant attitude of wanting to be on top of the world, it would be a light punishment to beat him up!]

    [Support Xu Chengyue singing Ye Xiao’s part, don’t want to see that ugly Ye Xiao’s shots anymore]

    Although Fu Yang said he wanted to research the project, he usually stayed in the lab doing experiments and rarely went on Weibo. He basically relied on Xie Wanwan’s relaying. This was the first time he directly faced the fan circle’s opinions.

    He, who hadn’t slept well, was half-dead from anger at such words. His anger flared up, and he immediately rolled up his sleeves and commented below the last one: [The facts prove that Xu Chengyue just stole Ye Xiao’s part. Being unreasonable is one thing, but scolding people is too much, right?]

    Unexpectedly, that fan replied in seconds: [You say he stole it, so he stole it? Who is being unreasonable? I not only scold him, but I also scold you. Ye Xiao’s fans are a bunch of idiots! Idiots with no taste! Ye Xiao, the giant baby scheming man, garbage in terms of strength, marketing a “Domineering President” persona but actually stepping on his CP to climb up, who exactly likes him? Oh, it’s you, the garbage recycling station!]

    Instantly, Fu Yang was provoked, his blood surging, and he typed frantically on the keyboard –

    “Who exactly has no taste? Xu Chengyue is just a green tea, hypocritical, unscrupulous hypocrite and a super-male violent maniac…”

    “Pfft——”

    The computer suddenly flickered like snowflakes for a moment. The next second, Fu Yang fell on the table and lost consciousness.

    “Wake up, wake up quickly.”

    The voice by his ear was clear and melodious, like a stream in early spring sliding past his ears, simply a boon for voice-control enthusiasts.

    Fu Yang was immersed in it for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes wide.

    This wasn’t his room.

    Books were scattered messily on the floor, with the titles of XX Arranging written on the covers. Under the table on the right was a guitar, and a folding piano was stored on the table.

    He was sleeping on a single bed that made a sound when moved.

    The limited and narrow space caused the entire environment to reveal a sense of listlessness and decadence.

    To put it bluntly, it wasn’t even as big as Fu Yang’s young master’s bathroom.

    Leaving aside the unfamiliar environment for now…

    An extremely beautiful face was infinitely magnified in front of him, with a small red mole between his eyebrows, setting off this delicate and pretty face with a bit more compassion, like a little Bodhisattva descending to earth to save all living beings.

    But at this moment, Fu Yang felt that he was even more terrifying than the devil –

    Xu Chengyue.

    The leader and visual of the domestic entertainment boy group Spark, and…

    His bias Ye Xiao’s mortal enemy!

    “What the f…”

    Instantly, Fu Yang woke up from his deathly dream with a start.

    If someone was still scolding this person online with full force in the previous second, and in the next second this person appeared in front of them, their mood wouldn’t be very wonderful.

    The mills of God grind slowly but surely?

    Did he get retribution for swearing online for the first time?

    Or is he actually asleep while cursing and this is a dream?

    His brain, which was extremely intelligent in academics, was somewhat unable to process at this moment. In a daze, cool fingers brushed across his brow. It was Xu Chengyue touching his forehead.

    Not a dream…

    The real touch made him shudder all over. As a staunch Materialist, Fu Yang was slightly collapsing.

    “You’re finally awake. You can still make it to the live broadcast. Let’s go quickly.”

    Xu Chengyue’s voice was as quiet and gentle as his appearance. Just looking at his appearance, you would never see that he was the “green tea, hypocritical, unscrupulous hypocrite” and “super-male violent maniac” in Fu Yang’s mouth.

    “Wait a moment.”

    Everything can wait a moment.

    Fu Yang calmed down on the surface, forcibly stuffing the emotions on his face back into his heart, but his heart was actually a mess of confusion.

    Help, a disastrous start. He doesn’t even know who he transmigrated into, what live broadcast is he even doing!

    “I’m not going.” He pulled the quilt tightly, trying to refuse.

    Facing his appearance, Xu Chengyue didn’t seem unfamiliar, sighing softly, his pretty eyebrows furrowing slightly, “Shangguan, don’t be willful. Under normal circumstances, An Jie wouldn’t let me come and call you either, but this time… there’s really no way. The live broadcast has temporarily changed people, and the fans are already very dissatisfied.”

    Shangguan? Fu Yang immediately confirmed his identity –

    Shangguan Yaoguang, the “prince” in the five-member group in the fans’ mouths.

    This isn’t a good word, the irony is extremely strong. This is also because Shangguan Yaoguang has always come and gone as he pleases during group activities.

    It’s rumored online that he’s the son of some group owner, and the black fans’ guesses are even more vicious. Some say he’s the company’s crown prince, and others say he has a backer who supports him.

    In short, Shangguan Yaoguang’s degree of black fans is not much different from Xu Chengyue’s. His appearance is bound to be a bloody storm.

    Fu Yang supported his forehead. What should he do if he woke up and transmigrated into his bias’s useless prince teammate?

    And… he has to face the pretentious and hypocritical leader.

    Fu Yang had a splitting headache.

    To say who is the person the Xiao fans scold the most, Shangguan Yaoguang doesn’t even rank. That must be the eternal rival, Xu Chengyue.

    After the assault, Xu Chengyue’s persona completely collapsed, and his popularity fell to the lowest point. Even group fans resisted and wanted him to leave the group. Although he has managed to pull through now, the fan circle is sluggish, and his popularity is not as good as before.

    Originally, the two were former and current popularity kings, and recently they started a business to promote CP, one side scolding poverty alleviation, and the other scolding leeching.

    The fans of these two are naturally ignited at the slightest spark. Even a small thing like pouring a glass of water, black material on certain media platforms can build a thousand-story building.

    Imperceptibly, as a fan of the rival faction, Fu Yang has always felt that Xu Chengyue is hypocritical and pretending, of course, he doesn’t have a good face, and said impatiently, “Oh, I got it.”

    Unexpectedly, Xu Chengyue still didn’t leave, but got closer and closer. When Fu Yang suddenly raised his head, he saw beauty magnified hundreds of times, and he froze for a moment and forgot to dodge.

    Thus, the black fan who should have been disgusted allowed his bias’s mortal enemy to lean down.

    “Your hair is messed up from sleeping.”

    Breath carrying the scent of gardenias brushed his ear.

    This person’s eyes were clear, and the corners of his eyes were slightly upturned, truly like riding a bright moon, about to ascend to heaven, unlike mortals.

    It’s said online that he’s had plastic surgery, but Fu Yang looked closely today… his features are perfect, and his skin is so delicate that you can’t even see the pores. If he had plastic surgery, the doctor must be from the sculpture department, so awesome.

    Hey, hey, hey, why am I praising him? Fu Yang shook his head, throwing these thoughts out fiercely.

    What if he looks good? His ability is not good, and his character is not good. Recently, in order to make a comeback, he even started stirring up a CP with Ye Xiao. He’s really using any means to snatch the lyrics.

    Hypocritical, green tea, hypocrite, bullying teammates, these things have all been nailed to the Pillar of Shame, and can’t be whitewashed at all.

    The mirror in front of the table reflected two figures, one standing and one sitting. Xu Chengyue bent down and reached out to press down the stray hairs that Fu Yang had slept into disarray.

    In an instant, he was suddenly pushed away by the other party.

    Fu Yang folded his arms across his chest and said in a cold voice:

    “I warn you, don’t touch me! If you touch me again, I’ll twist your hand off.”
