Stepdaughter of a wealthy family? The little darling of a Beijing tycoon

As soon as Shen Jingshu started her live stream on time tonight, the popularity of the live stream room was still rising rapidly, and a request to connect with her popped up at the top, which was particularly eye-catching.

Shen Jingshu glanced down and opened the other party's profile. She found that the applicant was actually a top food vlogger on the same platform, with the ID "Piggy Never Gets Full".

Meanwhile, the screen was already flooded with comments, as fans immediately recognized the other person and started discussing it online.

"It's Zhuzhu! I watch her mukbang videos all the time!"

"She has a huge appetite; she eats everything with gusto and always looks like she's never full!"

"I never expected her to take the initiative to connect with this big shot!"

Piggy was very persistent in not being able to get enough to eat. After being rejected immediately on the first attempt to connect with the stream, he immediately and persistently launched a second request.

Seeing this, Shen Jingshu casually clicked to connect to the live stream.

The screen flashed, and the live stream camera on the other side lit up. The video showed an ordinary-looking, seemingly honest young girl with a simple high ponytail. The entire table was piled high with all kinds of food, including fried chicken, desserts, braised dishes, and milk tea, just like her usual food-streaming style.

The girl, with a warm and endearing smile, took the initiative to greet him: "Hello, Master Shen! Hello! I'm Piggy Never Gets Full, and I'm a long-time fan of yours!"

Her tone was friendly and sincere as she explained her purpose: "We're both streamers on the same platform, and we've specifically decided to connect today to arrange a collaborative PK with Master Shen, so we can boost each other's popularity and interact!"

Piggy is a long-time streamer on the platform, boasting five to six million followers, making him a top streamer with consistently high traffic and popularity.

However, compared to Shen Jingshu, who now has nearly nine million followers, is a viral sensation across the internet, and is being heavily promoted by platforms, their scale is still vastly different.

Her plan was incredibly shrewd.

Recently, Shen Jingshu has become a sensation for rescuing abducted girls and assisting the police in solving a major case. Her popularity, buzz, and public goodwill have soared across the internet, and her live streams have consistently ranked among the top on the platform, with unparalleled exposure.

Her own account's follower count had long been stuck at around five or six million, unable to break through. This time, she took the initiative to connect with Shen Jingshu for a live stream, hoping to leverage Shen Jingshu's popularity to drive traffic to her own live stream, break through the long-standing data stagnation, and gain another wave of new casual fans.

She appears to be genuinely collaborating, but in reality, she's just trying to capitalize on this wave of top-tier online traffic.

Shen Jingshu's gaze quietly fell on the girl opposite the camera. With the help of Xuanmen's Heavenly Eye, she could clearly see a thick, dark black aura swirling deep in the girl's forehead.

She asked in a calm tone, "So, how do you plan to conduct this competition?"

Piggy, still hungry, quickly replied, "It's just like the platform's regular PK competition, comparing the total value of the gifts received by both sides throughout the entire event. I'll stream my food and meals as usual, and you can continue to tell fortunes and answer questions for your fans as usual. We won't interfere with each other."

"Sure." Shen Jingshu changed the subject, breaking the other party's expected flow, "But you are the first person to initiate a live call tonight, so it's fate. Let's not rush the PK, let me do a fortune telling for you."

Piggy, who was not full, was taken aback by Shen Jingshu's unpredictable behavior. Her heart skipped a beat, and a sense of unease quietly rose within her.

She had long heard that Shen Jingshu's live streams were always accurate and unerring, with real-life examples to prove her abilities were genuine. At this moment, she harbored a secret she couldn't reveal, fearing that Shen Jingshu would expose it in front of hundreds of thousands of viewers online, leaving her in a difficult position.

She initiated the live stream invitation herself, so if she were to back out now, it would seem like she's trying to cover something up and would only arouse more suspicion.

Shen Jingshu raised an eyebrow slightly: "What? Do you have something you're hiding that you don't want me to tell you?"

"I didn't! I'm completely innocent, what private matters could I possibly have! Master Shen, please don't make wild guesses." Piggy, still hungry, forced herself to remain calm and reluctantly agreed through gritted teeth, "Since you want to see, then let's see."

"Pay the divination fee first, and the rules remain the same."

Without hesitation, Piggy, who was still hungry, immediately sent a sports car worth a fortune through the live stream's gift channel.

After confirming that the money had been received, Shen Jingshu's casual expression faded, and she said in a deep voice, "First, tell me your real name. Your live stream ID is 'Piggy Never Gets Enough,' which is not your real name."

Shen Jingshu's gaze was calm, her words clear and firm as she slowly spoke: "Your real name is Peipei, you are twenty-three years old this year, you come from a poor rural family. After graduating from high school, you dropped out of school early to work. By chance, you signed up for a big eater challenge organized by a business, and stood out with your enormous appetite that far exceeded that of ordinary people. You were discovered at a glance by your current media company, signed a contract and were heavily promoted, and officially embarked on the path of food broadcasting."

Peipei, on the other end of the camera, paused for a moment, then nodded repeatedly, her tone filled with amazement: "That's right! Master Shen is absolutely right! But these are all my past experiences, not secrets at all. What does that prove?"

"Don't rush, I'll continue."

Shen Jingshu spoke calmly, yet every word struck a chord, hitting the nail on the head: "In just two short years, you've quickly become a sensation with your genuine and unpretentious mukbang style. You never fake it, never induce vomiting, and every bite you eat is truly yours. Before, your family was poor, and there were many delicacies you couldn't even see, let alone taste. After becoming a streamer, you enjoy delicacies every day, and you eat with satisfaction and enjoyment. The genuine happiness in your eyes is incredibly infectious, and that's why you've firmly amassed a large number of loyal fans."

The live stream chat was flooded with comments, with countless longtime fans echoing the sentiments and expressing deep resonance.

But then, Shen Jingshu abruptly changed the subject, her tone becoming more serious: "But you've been overeating day after day for years, constantly overloading your stomach and intestines, which has already taken a toll on your body. Three months ago, after a high-intensity all-night mukbang session, you vomited blood on the spot and were rushed to the hospital for examination."

Peipei's smile froze instantly, her pupils contracted sharply, her whole body trembled, and all the color drained from her face, her eyes filled with disbelief and terror. She had kept this a closely guarded secret; no one except herself and the company knew about it!

Ignoring her loss of composure, Shen Jingshu continued in a deep voice, "The doctor clearly told you that your stomach has already been stretched to its limit by long-term overeating. The stomach wall is so thin that it is almost transparent, and the stomach function is severely damaged. If you continue to overeat like this and overdraw your body, it will not be long before you develop acute gastric dilatation and sudden gastric perforation."

"You're so young. If a stomach perforation occurs, stomach acid and undigested food will flood your abdominal cavity, causing acute peritonitis and abdominal infection. If not treated promptly, it can be a fatal condition!"

Every word and phrase is a cold and chilling reality.

Peipei's lips trembled slightly, her fingertips gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, and endless struggle and helplessness welled up in her eyes.

Shen Jingshu saw through all her struggles and dilemmas, and slowly revealed the deepest torment in her heart: "You have always been incredibly conflicted. On one hand, there is your precarious health, which could collapse at any moment. On the other hand, there is your career in live streaming, which is your means of survival and brings you both fame and fortune. You know better than anyone that the live streaming industry is changing very quickly, with newcomers emerging one after another, and the loyalty of fans is extremely unstable."

"If you dare to stop broadcasting to recover from your illness, even a short period of inactivity will lead to a massive loss of fans and a precipitous drop in popularity. By the time you recover and return, you will no longer have the top-tier popularity you have today, nor will you have the continuous stream of gigs, commercial deals, and revenue."

"Your agency is well aware that they're making a fortune off your 'big eater' persona, and they'll never allow you to take a break from streaming. They only care about viewership and revenue; they don't care about your life or death at all."
