The digital world was currently a battlefield of frantic apologies and viral memes. As Chen Ying's team began their leisurely descent from the hill, the live-stream comments were moving so fast they were almost unreadable.
The "Idol's Final Testament"—the clip of Chen Jue weeping about his "demise" to a garden snake—had already been remixed into a dozen different trending tracks.
[User 'LogicFirst': "I am literally crying at my desk. Chen Jue apologized to a blade of grass and revealed the biggest plot twist of the season in the same breath. 10/10 for accidental drama."]
[User 'Jue'sWife': "Wait, so Chen Ying is the *actual* sister? The one Wang Bai spent weeks implying she was? My head hurts. She really had us all brainwashed. We owe the Ice Queen a massive apology."]
