I met my whole family through Baidu Tieba.

If the beautiful woman in the photo captivated Wang Pan's heart with her looks, then the content of the post made him fall even deeper into despair.

Wang Pan scrolled through the post, sometimes quickly browsing and sometimes carefully reading it.

The part you can quickly browse is the text section.

The part you need to read carefully is the part with the photos.

After reading the entire post, Wang Pan formed a character portrait of "Happy Yueyue" in his mind—a female student from Qianmin University, of Miao ethnicity, with an unknown family background, and a beautiful woman.

But she's not your average beauty.

Wang Pan had certainly seen many beautiful women, most of whom were interested in skincare, makeup, food, and travel. Some of the more ambitious ones were also interested in learning.

But this Happy Monthly is different.

She is cultured.

"...The headdresses of Miao girls are the most dazzling, with silver horns, silver combs, and silver flowers. These not only represent wealth and nobility, but also symbolize the migration route of their ancestors. Wearing a complete set of headdresses requires the assistance of the clan members, signifying 'dignity supported by all'..."

Wang Pan had seen Miao headdresses before, but this was the first time he had learned that they contained such historical and cultural meanings.

In particular, the accompanying text, paired with a close-up photo of Kaixin Yueyue—a beautiful woman with a charming smile—made it seem even more cultured.

She is also intellectual.

"...The first time I wore a full set of Miao ethnic costumes was at my coming-of-age ceremony when I was 15. When my mother put the silver crown on my head, she said, 'Clothes are the face of the Miao people. When you go out, you must hold your head high and walk with your chest out.' At that moment, I felt not only beauty, but also a heavy responsibility..."

The relevant part of this text is accompanied by a half-body profile photo of Kaixin Yueyue, who is no longer smiling, but calm and exudes a damn intellectual air.

She also has lofty ambitions and ideals.

"...It's not just clothing; it's our history textbook, our religious totem, and our ethnic identity. I hope more people can understand the resilience, wisdom, and romance of the Miao people through these garments. I also hope everyone will reply and ask any questions you may have. I will try my best to answer them so that we can better understand each other and communicate and integrate..."

In short, she is different.

She's so different.

Wang Pan had seen quite a few beautiful women in Lao Shen's Beiming community.

For example, Chung Lin.

However, while Zhong Linlei was indeed sensual, she was too arousing and didn't evoke in Wang Pan the genuine urge to have a soul-searching conversation with her; all he felt was a physical attraction.

For example, Ji Feiyan.

However, Ji Feiyan was too out of touch with reality. She was always either skiing and surfing or having afternoon tea in five-star hotels. She was clearly a spendthrift woman who wasn't suited for everyday life, and it made it impossible for Wang Pan to truly want to get to know her on a deeper level...

With these beautiful women by her side, Kaixin Yueyue stands out from the crowd.

Wang Pan even felt that he could discuss with Kaixin Yueyue whether the tribe Meng Huo belonged to in the story of Zhuge Liang capturing Meng Huo seven times was the Miao people of today.

Unlike other girls who might find this question boring, she would definitely enjoy discussing it with me.

Who could resist a beautiful woman who can talk to you about Zhuge Liang?

Wang Pan was deeply moved.

Unfortunately, "In the Name of the People" hasn't aired yet, otherwise Wang Pan could sigh to Gao Yuliang on TV: "Old Gao, I understand you. She is well-versed in 'The Fifteenth Year of Wanli' and knows the history of the Ming Dynasty very well. That is indeed irresistible."

Wang Pan now shares the same mindset as Lao Gao.

He quickly recovered from the disappointment of dinner, regained his fighting spirit, and immediately followed the "Happy Yueyue" account. Then, staring at the screen and stroking his chin, he carefully pondered how to attract her attention.

Ideally, you could also get the other person's contact information...

Judging from the posting time, Wang Pan clicked on this post quite early, so there are currently no replies on the page besides the post content.

Wang Pan stared at the screen, lost in thought.

After thinking for a while, Wang Pan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he had an idea. Then, he started typing in the reply box below.

"I've always been very interested in Miao culture, but I didn't know where to learn about it. Your post has really solved my urgent problem. I have many questions about Miao culture that I'd like to ask. Could you please leave your contact information?"

After typing the message and confirming that it was correct, Wang Pan clicked "send".

Meanwhile, anticipation began to rise within her. After seeing her reply, the poster gave her their contact information. They added each other and started chatting, quickly finding themselves irresistibly compatible. A month later, they met in person. Although he was only moderately handsome, not exceptionally so, she was very satisfied with him due to their soul connection and mutual attraction. They successfully became a couple. From their school days to their wedding, they had their first child, a baby girl. To commemorate their online connection and to symbolize the friendship between the Han and Miao ethnic groups, they named their daughter Wang Wangmiao…

The post page will refresh after you send your reply.

Wang Pan was happily naming his child when the webpage refreshed.

A post that was just empty now has a ton of replies, and the first page is full.

"Excuse me, you're the only source of information I have about Miao culture. Could I get your contact information so I can learn more from you?"

"I have a research project this semester about Miao culture, and I'm really struggling to find any information. Luckily, I found this post! I'm saved! Please leave your contact information, please help me!"

"My cousin's wife is of Miao ethnicity, and because of cultural differences, we have a lot of conflicts, which is very worrying for me. Luckily, I've met someone as knowledgeable as you, so please add me on social media and help salvage my family relationships!"

"My mom told me the day before yesterday that I was actually adopted, and that my true identity is not Han Chinese, but Miao! I really want to understand the culture related to my bloodline. Could you please add me on WeChat? Thank you in advance."

……

"..."

Upon seeing these replies, Wang Pan gasped and remained silent.

After a long silence, he muttered to himself, "They're all ruthless people..."

Especially the one who said his mother told him he wasn't her biological son, but an adopted Miao orphan—that's ruthless, so incredibly cruel. It's an extreme case of filial impiety.

Compared to these ruthless individuals, his reply seemed rather ordinary.

The first page is filled with content like this.

Wang Pan refreshed the page again and found that it was already on the second page.

I clicked in and saw that the first few replies were all sorts of creative ways to ask for my contact information, and then the replies were different.

"I don't even bother to expose you. Do you have research projects, relatives who are Miao, or Miao orphans yourselves? I'm different. I'll just say it directly! OP, give me your contact information, let's be friends."

"You seem quite cultured, so let me ask you a math question—what's your phone number?"

"Can you guys stop being so horny and perverted? I checked the profile, and it's a newly registered account. It's a newbie. Don't scare them."

"Who's the pervert? We were just looking at the posts, but you were stalking people in their personal profiles!"

……

"What are you looking at? You keep muttering to yourself."

A voice rang out from behind Wang Pan.

It is Feng Moquan.

He had been hearing Wang Pan muttering things like "That's too cruel," "Laughter," and "What should I do?" over and over, which made him feel better.

What is Wang Pan looking at?

So I stopped playing for a while and came over to take a look.

Then I saw the post that Wang Pan was reading.

Just then, Wang Pan finished skimming through the replies and switched the page back to the main content of the post. He was staring at Kaixin Yueyue's beautiful photos, pondering how to stand out from so many people and gain her attention.

Feng Moquan then saw the content of the post, as well as the photos of Kaixin Yueyue.

"New poster? I've never seen this poster before."

Feng Moquan looked at the photo above and said this.

Upon hearing this, Wang Pan felt a pang of anxiety: Could it be that he now has another competitor?

Fortunately, Feng Moquan's next words followed immediately.

"Not as pretty as Zhong Lin."

Feng Moquan made this comment.

Wang Pan breathed a sigh of relief—it's good to have one less competitor.

At the same time, he thought to himself, "Isn't Kaixin Yueyue much better than Zhong Lin? I don't know what kind of taste Old Feng has. He probably grew up on formula and never had breast milk, so he thinks Zhong Lin is the most beautiful woman in the world."

However, she didn't say it aloud, but instead changed the subject: "By the way, Lao Feng, do you have a grudge against one of the people in the dorm downstairs?"

As he spoke, he closed the page, preventing Feng Moquan from looking at it any longer.

"The dormitory downstairs?"

Feng Moquan's attention was indeed diverted. He didn't ask Wang Pan why he suddenly closed the page. Instead, he was a little puzzled and thought for a moment before saying, "It seems there was one. Once, while getting food in the cafeteria, I got into a little argument with someone from the dorm downstairs. What happened?"

"Oh, nothing, just asking..."

……

In the dormitories of Yangko University of Science and Technology, many male students who were browsing the Beiming Community saw Long Yuewen's post.

Many of them were also the "competitors" in Wang Pan's eyes.

But besides these people, there are also some who don't really like this "Happy Yueyue".

Take Ji Feiyan for example.

She is sitting at her desk in her dorm room, looking at her computer screen, which displays the Beiming Community website.

Ji Feiyan now earns money from the Beiming Community every month, and has clearly regarded it as her own career, so she pays attention to it every day.

Even on days when I don't post, I still come here to check and keep an eye on the market.

Therefore, she naturally saw Long Yuewen's post.

"Another competitor has emerged."

Ji Feiyan browsed the comments under the post, lost in thought.

As the saying goes, experience is the best teacher, and Ji Feiyan is now gaining a better understanding of the Beiming Community. From the content of this post, its popularity trend, and the direction of the discussion, she keenly sensed that this "Happy Yueyue" had ill intentions.

Who knows, another new KL might be coming out.

"I wonder if this will squeeze GG's market share..."

Ji Feiyan continued to think silently.

She didn't care that much about how popular or well-liked this "Happy Monthly" app was. What she cared about most was the GG (Google's) sponsors.

After all, there are only so many GG merchants. If this Happy Monthly really becomes popular, some GG merchants who originally wanted to find them will turn to Happy Monthly instead, and their income will decrease.

After thinking for a while, Ji Feiyan looked around and, seeing that no one was paying attention to her, quickly and quietly switched accounts and logged into a new account.

Then I posted a comment under Kaixin Yueyue's post.

"Wearing Miao clothing like that is truly indecent. Why don't you show your private parts too?"

When it came time to click send, Ji Feiyan hesitated for a moment, feeling that what she said might have been too harsh and not quite right.

But when she thought of the GG merchants and the money from her sugar daddy... she finally hardened her heart and clicked send.

The struggle for the crown prince position has always been like this.

After sending the message, Ji Feiyan quickly switched the alt account back to the main account, and then stared blankly at the new comment posted by her alt account that had been refreshed.

She felt as if she had grown up a bit in that instant.

This is the adult world...

……

Qianmin University

As she kept refreshing the page, Long Yuewen saw that the popularity of her post was rising steadily, with likes and replies increasing rapidly.

It seems like things will turn out very well.

This relieved Long Yuewen, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her face. She turned to Shen Kang and asked, "Does this level of buzz count as a success?"

Shen Kang stood to the side watching and commented, "It's a great start, the momentum is pretty good. You can pick some interesting replies and reply to them, which will further increase the buzz."

Long Yuewen now trusts Shen Kang more and more. Upon hearing this, she immediately followed Shen Kang's instructions and began to select and reply to the most interesting comments.

As she was browsing, Long Yuewen saw the comment, "Why don't you show your lower half too?" This made her hand freeze, her heart ache, and her expression turn ugly.

Ma Xiaofeng saw it too, and her expression changed. She angrily started yelling, "Is this person born of a mother but raised without one? How can he say such awful things! Yuewen, just delete this comment."

Long Yuewen gripped the mouse tighter, but instead of deleting the comment, she looked at it for a while before turning to look at Shen Kang.

Before she could speak, Shen Kang calmly began to say, "This situation is normal. It could be that someone is jealous of you, or it could be your competitor. As I said before, becoming a KL on this platform can make money, so there is competition among KLs. After all, if you get a little more, someone else gets a little less."

"This is probably one of the KL accounts using a secondary account to attack you. If you can't stand this kind of attack and even give up and stop updating, then you're just playing into their hands. Of course, it's your own business. Whether you persist or give up is your decision. But I can tell you that this kind of situation will definitely happen again in the future. If you really can't take it, it's not too late to give up now."

Shen Kang could offer Long Yuewen some guidance, but how far she could go in the future depended on herself; after all, he couldn't support her forever. If Long Yuewen truly wasn't suited for this role, then there was nothing that could be done.

When it comes to matters of "career," Ma Xiaofeng is quite discreet and remains silent.

Long Yuewen pondered silently for a while, her eyes gradually hardening. "Then what should I do? Should I delete these comments, or what?"

"This is your own account, it's up to you." Shen Kang remained noncommittal, but still offered a reminder: "You can refresh the page again. I reckon someone has already replied to this comment. Check it before you decide."

As Shen Kang had instructed, Long Yuewen refreshed the design.

Sure enough, just as Shen Kang said, there were already replies to this comment. Several of the replies were on Long Yuewen's side, criticizing the commenter for being rude and ill-mannered.

After reading for a while, Long Yuewen felt much better. After thinking silently for a while, she made a decision: she would ignore this comment, neither deleting it nor leaving it, and simply continue to select other interesting comments to reply to.

Shen Kang watched from the side without saying a word.

With other interesting comments and the post's growing popularity, this little incident was quickly forgotten, and Long Yuewen and Ma Xiaofeng's interest was piqued once again.

After spending some more time online, the administrator of the electronic reading room started urging everyone to log off.

It's 10 o'clock. The electronic reading room at Qianmin University closes at 10 o'clock.

Long Yuewen had no choice but to pay the bill and get off the plane. The three of them left the library and went back to their dormitory.

Along the way, Long Yuewen seemed more excited and talked more than usual. Ma Xiaofeng also found tonight's events interesting and joined Long Yuewen in discussing the future. Shen Kang mainly listened, occasionally chiming in with a few words.

Just then, Shen Kang's phone rang.

It was Zhou Man calling.

The first thing she said was, "It's already past ten o'clock. Are you coming home to sleep tonight?"

Shen Kang's mind raced, and he suddenly remembered something. "What did He Qiuzhu say when you were playing games tonight?"

Zhou Man's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Nonsense, otherwise I wouldn't have time to care about you. If you're coming back to sleep, I'll have Aunt Zhang make your bed. If you're not coming back, then I won't bother her."

"I'm not going back. I've already found a place to stay."

"Hehe," Zhou Man chuckled sarcastically on the other end of the phone, "You're like Yu the Great, passing by your home three times without entering."

"You can also call me Brother Dayu, I don't mind."

"hehe."……

Deep Blue Waterfront

Zhou Man was sitting on the sofa in the living room, wearing a silk nightgown, holding her phone, arguing with Shen Kang, when she suddenly heard something from the other end of the phone.
