They don't actually think I like them, do they?

"I woke up too fast and saw the Orange Jam MV. I'm going to sleep a little longer."

"Holy crap, is this for real?! Orange God's update speed is so fast, and he can even release a music video?!"

"Who would ask a singer who releases an album every three months to make a music video? This is purely a way to give back to the fans! Ju Zi Shen, I'm so happy, I'm crying!"

This is the first time I've ever seen a singer release a music video that has caused such a huge stir.

Many passersby and critics who usually have no interest in marmalade couldn't help but become interested this time.

Everyone is eagerly anticipating what kind of music video Orange Jam will produce after releasing three albums since her debut.

And the title of this new song is also very interesting—

Ugly monster.

Based on fans' understanding of Orange Jam, if they can't immediately tell what the song is about from the title, then it must be another very artistic work.

Within the first hour of its premiere on "MuMu Music", the music video had over 80,000 simultaneous views.

Countless people clicked on the music video out of curiosity.

......

The scene begins.

A pitch-black night, a bright moon, and deserted streets.

A masked man runs alone down the street.

"Orange marmalade?"

"Is that Brother Orange?!"

"Gentlemen, I'm so excited!"

The screen was instantly filled with a dense barrage of comments, and everyone got excited.

Accompanied by somber music, the whole scene appears lonely and desolate.

This atmosphere seems perfect for emo!

The man took off his mask.

"Who are you sending it to?"

The audience couldn't hold back any longer.

"Who is this? So ugly?! Where did my Orange Brother go?"

"Is this the ugly guy the song title refers to? Well, they're actually quite a good match, but I want to see Marmalade!"

The comments section was filled with expressions of dissatisfaction, but the music video did not disappoint them.

After the intro ends, the camera cuts to another scene.

Dim streetlights, desolate streets, and dilapidated white buildings.

A band stands in front of the camera, bathed in moonlight.

And leading the group is the very person that all the fans have been longing for day and night!

Marmalade!

As Lin Han picked up the microphone, he raised his other hand and extended it toward the camera.

"Even if the world is dark, I am still beautiful. In matters of love, at most I'll be exploited..."

Lin Han's magnetic voice immediately captivated everyone's attention. The discussion about the music video gradually shifted from the sidelines to the storyline itself.

This music video has a story behind it.

The story is interspersed with scenes of Orange Jam singing.

The overall visual style is black and white. Although the lyrics are somewhat artistic, the director used the simplest and most sophisticated visual language in every shot so that even elementary school students could understand what the music video was about.

The masked man confessed his feelings to the girl, and she accepted.

The two fell in love. They strolled together on the bridge and along the lakeside path. Everything seemed so sweet and harmonious, except that the male lead's appearance was not commensurate with the female lead's beauty.

However, all of this is just an appearance.

The girl never publicly revealed her boyfriend on social media. They didn't attend classes in the same college, and she never allowed him to visit her in her college.

Even the girl's classmates and friends were unaware of the boy's existence.

The female protagonist was walking with her best friend on campus when they ran into her boyfriend, but they had to pretend they didn't know each other.

why?

The lyrics have already given the audience the answer.

"Ugly duckling~ Could you please not turn on the light?"

"The love I crave appears on a pitch-black stage!"

When Lin Han sang those lyrics—so direct and soul-stirring—in such a powerful voice, everyone felt a tremendous impact and was deeply moved!

They never imagined that the slightly comical words "ugly monster" could not only become lyrics, but also be so impactful!

Because she's ugly, because she's not presentable, because she doesn't like her enough, because she feels like they might break up at any moment.

So I don't want the people around me to know, and I especially don't want my fishpond to know.

The only reason for not disclosing it is this; all other reasons are just excuses!

Who do you think you are? Just because you're dating me, you think you're something special?

Giving up your vast online community of potential partners for this pathetic boyfriend is not worth it! Absolutely not! Do you even deserve it?!

Seeing this, the audience hardened, and their fists hardened.

"Damn it, I just remembered my ex. She was also unwilling to go public with their relationship, saying that such things weren't important!"

"Hehe, I'm in a long-distance relationship, and my girlfriend's WeChat Moments are only visible for three days."

"Hey upstairs, your girlfriend's going to have a boyfriend at school, huh?"

"Waaaah, no wonder my girlfriend never introduces me to her friends, it turns out I'm just not presentable enough..."

Many viewers have begun to empathize and have left comments; however, when they look at the progress bar...

This is only halfway through!

Everyone gritted their teeth and continued watching the rest of the story—

Finally, the girl broke up with the boy.

Actually, using the word "finally" isn't quite appropriate, because judging from the timeline of the music video, it seems like the two didn't talk for very long. They might even have only talked for a week!

When she broke up with him, the girl cried her eyes out, saying it was her own fault, that she wasn't suited for dating, and that she didn't deserve him.

The male protagonist's heart melted, and he quickly hugged the girl, his determined gaze seeming to say:

Whatever difficulties you encounter, I'll face them with you!

However, the female lead still pushed the male lead away; she was already too deeply hurt.

The female lead left alone, leaving behind only the male lead filled with regret and self-blame.

What he regrets is that he is not capable enough to give the girl more security.

If that's the case, maybe she won't leave...

The music video director seems to know how to manipulate the audience's mindset.

The scene shifts, and in less than a few seconds, the male protagonist witnesses a woman holding hands with another man, chatting and laughing.

At this moment, the male protagonist standing under the streetlight looks exactly like a clown.

At the end of the music video, the male protagonist kneels alone in the rain and screams.

That pained expression, those tears of sorrow.

It doesn't look like acting at all!

The male lead single-handedly brought the atmosphere of the entire music video to its lowest point.

It's so depressing, so incredibly depressing!

After watching it, many people were still in a daze, savoring the content, their emotions unable to calm down for a long time.

Compared to the male lead in the music video, my own experiences are nothing at all!!

How could there be such a tragic person?!

Some men who have had similar experiences were moved to tears after reading this!

Just as the MV's popularity was soaring, a person on Weibo, supposedly an "insider of the MV production team," revealed a huge piece of gossip.

This music video is based on a true story!

The actor who played the male lead in the video was based on the real person. In reality, he was deceived by a bad woman, and his situation was much worse than depicted in the music video!

095. Open the box!

The whistleblower is a netizen with the ID "I'm Happy and I'm Superman", who is affectionately known as Happy Superman.

This person has a very high ranking in the Orange Sauce super topic, and judging from the details he revealed, it doesn't seem like he's just trying to attract attention.

The post quickly attracted a large number of people as soon as it was published.

"Really? The real person is even worse off than the one in the music video?!"

"Tell me more! I've even got my sunflower seeds ready!"

"Who is this male lead? I can't find any information about him! What kind of powerful backing does he have? How could he be in Orange Jam's music video? Is he some kind of favorite of the investors?"

"Even the company's own son can be deceived by a bad woman??"

Under relentless questioning, Happy Superman had no choice but to reveal more information to netizens.

"Stop arguing about the investors and backing. The male lead's name is Xu Hui. He's Ju Zi Jiang's high school classmate and best friend. Isn't that powerful enough? Does that shut you up?"

"The music video's storyline is based on the male lead's romantic experience in college. During filming, the male lead broke down several times; his emotions were genuine, which is why the music video has such a great effect. Those who criticize the male lead for being ugly or say he has powerful connections should have some decency!"

"That's all I can reveal. After all, other people's relationships are private matters, and it's not good to dig them up online."

"..."

Upon seeing this, many netizens were so angry that they shouted "Gaia!"

Who says "I can't disclose" when they're talking about something crucial?

What's the difference between this and suddenly cutting off the stool halfway through defecating and then straining to push the rest of the stool back into the large intestine?!

What everyone is most interested in—what exactly happened between the male protagonist's real-life counterpart and the "bad woman"—was never explained!

but,

This post still provided a lot of key information.

Marmalade's brother?

Many fans were hearing about this for the first time. They were amazed that Orange Jam had such a great non-celebrity friend who could get him to star in a music video!

If the person behind the scenes is Orange Jam, all the fans will shut up.

There's nothing left to complain about now, only envy!

Given Orange Jam's character, he would definitely go to great lengths for his brothers, provide substantial financial assistance to his friends, and share both good times and bad!

To be able to become best buddies with Orange Jam is a blessing that you can't earn in countless lifetimes!

In fact, although Happy Hero only appeared to have partially finished pooping, the basic information about the male protagonist had already been revealed.

This is equivalent to someone sticking their butt out and facing you, giving you the opportunity to reach out, even though they've only pulled out half of it.

You can remove the rest that wasn't pulled out!

In this age of advanced internet technology, even if a skilled online user loses an online match to someone, they can quickly find out who they lost to offline based on their username.

If we've given you so much information and you still can't open the box, then this generation of netizens might as well revert to the 2G era!

So soon, while most people were still complaining that Happy Superman didn't finish his sentences, and even threatening to become like his mother so he couldn't be happy,
