"Su Cheng, the Singing King, and his harem of celebrity girlfriends."
"Three years in the spotlight, over ten high-profile relationships. Gifted heartthrob or heartless scumbag?"
"The biggest fraud of the century — is someone like this worthy of stardom?"
"If Su Cheng isn't banned from the industry, there's no justice in the world."
"Female stars come forward, exposing Su Cheng for emotional manipulation."
In every corner of the media landscape in Xia State, one name dominated the headlines: Su Cheng.
But unlike the praise and accolades he was used to, this time the news was a storm of condemnation.
Photos and videos had surfaced — so-called "evidence" — showing that Su Cheng had been romantically involved with a shocking number of female celebrities ever since his debut three years ago.
And what made it worse?
The timeline made it clear that many of those relationships had overlapped.
In the eyes of the public, there was no denying it anymore — Su Cheng was a first-class scumbag.
In response to the wave of scrutiny, the female stars in question began stepping into the spotlight — one after another — pushed by mounting pressure and undeniable exposure.
Their reactions ignited the firestorm.
Yang Mi: "I really believed I was the only one in his heart…"
Liu Tianxian: "He told me he loved only me…"
Shishi: "He said he'd marry me someday…"
Tang Yan: "I never imagined… he was this kind of man…"
Da Tiantian, Da Baobao, Yingbao, Reba, Nazha, Zifeng, Zuer, Chaoyue: "…"
Each woman came with her own heartbreak, her own pain. Some accused him outright, some cried silently, while others stayed quiet — letting their silence speak volumes.
The internet exploded.
Even Su Cheng's own fans — those who once praised him as a genius, idolized him as a prince — now turned their backs.
"How could Su Cheng do something like this?"
"I feel so stupid for ever supporting him."
"Ban him. No one this heartless deserves to be a public figure."
"He even messed with Zifeng? She's underage!"
"Same with Zuer and Chaoyue. He's disgusting."
"Still… I can't deny that Su Cheng really does have some insane charm."
"You're telling me. These women are all goddesses — and he somehow bagged all of them?"
"Well, it's Su Cheng. Even without talent, just that face is enough to bring down kingdoms."
"Young, rich, talented, and drop-dead gorgeous — who wouldn't fall for him?"
Su Cheng sat in front of his computer, lips twitching into a smirk as he read the headlines.
His expression was both amused and disdainful.
"Typical," he muttered. "A full-blown takedown campaign."
He knew exactly what was happening. Someone was pulling strings in the background, orchestrating a smear campaign against him.
And he had a good idea of who it was.
The entertainment companies.
Su Cheng's meteoric rise over the past three years had shaken the foundations of the industry. From a nobody to one of the most recognized faces in the nation — he was now considered a Uranus-level celebrity, a once-in-a-generation icon.
But his success had come at a price.
He'd blocked the path of countless other rising stars. Cut into others' profits. Disrupted the power balance.
And worst of all — he had refused to sign with any entertainment company.
That made him a threat.
An uncontrollable variable.
An independent force in an industry built on control.
And in this world, if you stand in the way of others' wealth, it's the same as killing their parents.
"So they've finally made their move," he thought coldly.
The tactics, though underhanded, weren't exactly surprising. What did shock him, however, was the extent of their shamelessness.
Yes, he had been involved with many of those women.
And yes, they were all top-tier beauties in the entertainment world.
But they had all come to him — not the other way around.
He had never promised exclusivity.
They knew he had other women.
Yet they still clung to him, hoping to gain access to his growing influence, his connections, and the resources he had.
They pretended not to care.
Or maybe they truly didn't — until now.
And as for Zifeng, Zuer, and Chaoyue? Please.
They were just his sworn god-sisters.
Nothing improper had ever occurred between them.
He wasn't that kind of man.
More importantly, the so-called "evidence" floating around the internet?
It was laughable.
Not a single photo showed him kissing or even holding hands with anyone. The closest they had were ambiguous glances, smiles, or the occasional dinner meeting.
Hardly damning proof.
So, as long as he held his ground and denied everything, there was no real case against him.
Unfortunately, that wasn't the end of it.
Because the real betrayal had come from the women themselves.
One after another, they were stepping forward, admitting to relationships with him, and shifting all the blame his way.
It was clear they had been coerced.
There was no way they'd all speak out at once unless they were under pressure.
The only ones who could force them like this were the entertainment companies they worked for.
Most of them were still under contracts.
One wrong move and they'd be blacklisted, frozen out of the industry.
Worse, the General Administration was likely already in on it.
The timing was too perfect. Too coordinated.
The companies had made their move. The evidence had dropped. The public outcry was overwhelming.
Now all that was left was the execution.
Ban Su Cheng. Silence him. Erase him.
And in case anyone had second thoughts or hesitation, all the women involved had been pushed to come forward.
Better to get burned together than to be dragged down alone.
In the end, Su Cheng had simply pissed off too many powerful people.
He had been too bold. Too free.
And now, he was paying the price.
But… did he regret it?
Not even a little.
"If you're in this industry and you're not sleeping with female stars, what are you even doing here?" he sneered. "Might as well go back to farming."
After all, the others were doing it too.
Many of them were far worse than him.
So why was it only he getting crucified?
Especially when every single one of those women had come to him willingly.
Thrown themselves at him.
Begged for his attention.
And now?
They were stabbing him in the back to save themselves.
"Heh… so be it," Su Cheng muttered, his eyes narrowing as a cold glint flashed in them.
"Let's see who really wins in the end."
