Xia Siyu hadn't faced such a backlash in years.
Ever since the "scandal" broke out three years ago, various negative rumors had been flooding in. Things like being a diva, throwing tantrums, cozying up to rich patrons, being uncultured. Some were true, some were false, and there was even a period when she was shooting overseas and went silent for a while, during which a gossip account falsely claimed she was pregnant and had an abortion for an "ex."
Her personality is such that she thinks, as long as I'm happy, why should I care what anyone else thinks? So overnight, when fans turned into haters with overwhelming bad reviews, she treated them like nonsense.
But to say that those bad reviews had no impact on her would be untrue.
Everyone enjoys recognition from others. Even Xia Siyu, who pays no mind to others' insults, secretly craved to be liked.
However, after regaining the favor of many people, Xia Siyu didn't feel as instantly gratified as she once had.
