Some went even further, directly attacking her family and her appearance, calling her a vixen and saying her behavior was lewd.
She attributed all her previous achievements to her sexual advances.
When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down. In a short time, the barrage of public opinion alone crushed Bai Qin's spirit.
It was only then that she realized how much harm her past actions had caused Zhao Tingting.
Now she finds herself in the same predicament as Zhao Tingting, suffering the consequences of her actions, yet powerless to change anything...
In the end, Wang Chen also left her, cursing her for being shameless and immoral. People around her looked at her as if she were a filthy rat, filled with utter contempt.
Bai Qin's fate was also to end her own life and then awaken again, thinking it was all a dream, but in the end she still couldn't escape being slandered and framed again...
Like everyone else, she was trapped in a cycle of reincarnation, unable to escape.
When Wang Chen arrived, the illusion was not yet fully constructed.
Lu Qingyuan asked Yu Tang, "What are you going to do with this Wang Chen?"
"Chen Lu previously mentioned that Wang Chen used PUA techniques to humiliate Zhao Tingting, causing Zhao Tingting to constantly doubt herself."
She developed a dependence on Wang Chen, eventually allowing him to control her mind, which further exacerbated her depression. Mentioning this made Yu Tang feel annoyed.
He sneered, "Someone with such warped values should, of course, experience the taste of being retaliated against..."
Chapter 17
Died for the fifth time for the villain (17)
In the studio on the sixteenth floor, Zhao Tingting told Chen Lu and Yu Tang about Wang Chen.
Wang Chen and Zhao Tingting were in the same class and year. They became friends at a freshman gathering organized by senior students.
At that time, Zhao Tingting was still depressed because of Zhang Ping's matter, and she had to force herself to cope with her studies.
Wang Chen noticed her difficulties, and when they first became friends, he only did things that friends would do, gradually and subtly treating Zhao Tingting well.
At that time, Wang Chen was gentle, polite, handsome, and athletic.
He's practically every girl's ideal type.
Zhao Tingting had been violated by Zhang Ping, and her original pride was shattered, making it hard for her not to feel inferior.
However, Wang Chen didn't mind her awkwardness and caution at all, and slowly he made the girl open her heart to him and fall into his gentle trap.
But after Zhao Tingting accepted his confession and the two got together, he gradually began to mentally attack Zhao Tingting.
When Wang Chen was in high school, his family went bankrupt, his mother left home, and his father became an alcoholic and despondent.
The once happy family has become chaotic.
This made him hate his mother very much, and even develop a strong hostility towards women.
He is handsome and gentle on the outside, but in reality he wants to completely control the girls he dates, control their emotions, and make them gradually doubt themselves, break down, and even self-harm and commit suicide.
Zhao Tingting unfortunately became his prey.
In the first half of this relationship, she thought she had finally met the right person for her.
She gave him her whole heart, but in the latter half of the story, she watched helplessly as the person she loved changed his attitude drastically, humiliating and belittling her to the extreme.
It even led her to contemplate self-harm and end her life.
After researching this situation online, Zhao Tingting discovered that the method Wang Chen used on her was called PUA.
She is not the only victim in the world; there are many, many women and men like her who are experiencing PUA.
She rationally convinced herself to break up with Wang Chen, but then hid in her room and cried bitterly after the breakup.
She went to see a psychologist, who said she has moderate depression and needs to learn to regulate her emotions and take medication in order to gradually improve.
No one wants to die, and Zhao Tingting is no exception.
However, depression is not a disease that one can control simply by wanting to.
Countless nights, she would take out a fruit knife and point it at her chest, only to break down in a cold sweat and cry when she regained consciousness.
Later, she finally mustered up her spirits and said she would participate in a design competition.
The inspiration for her clothing designs comes from her own life. The dark-toned garments are adorned with twinkling stars, representing her hopes for the future.
She hoped that even in the boundless darkness, there was still a light that belonged to her, guiding her to live on.
But unexpectedly, even this ray of light was ruthlessly extinguished in the end.
After being exposed for plagiarism, she was unable to defend herself.
After all, she had no idea why she was being accused of plagiarism.
After all, it was clearly her design, how could it have been published by another designer beforehand?
She made the news because of her outstanding appearance, and was given a defamatory nickname with sexual connotations by netizens who were unaware of the truth.
As the controversy surrounding plagiarism intensified, some damaging information, unknown even to her, began circulating online, and the extremely humiliating language chilled her to the bone.
Giving up can happen in an instant.
Before committing suicide, Zhao Tingting went to see Wang Chen. She didn't cry or make a scene; she just said a few words to him.
Because of your own family's misfortune, you recklessly harm other innocent people.
People like you will get their comeuppance sooner or later.
Knowing that dying while wearing red would turn one into a vengeful ghost, Zhao Tingting chose a bright red dress.
They offered their souls, made a pact with the demon, and entered the survival game.
She vowed to make everyone who had hurt her pay the price.
Therefore, it's not a lie for her to say that Lu Qingyuan is her benefactor.
After discussing it with Lu Qingyuan, Yu Tang created an illusion for Wang Chen in which he met someone he truly loved.
That girl was perfect in every way—kind-hearted, understanding, and always thought Wang Chen was right, no matter what he said.
No matter what conditions Wang Chen sets, the girl will unconditionally comply.
Even when he beats, scolds, or verbally abuses her, the way she looks at him is always filled with tenderness and tolerance.
Before he knew it, Wang Chen had finally let down his guard and told the girl about his past. He even hugged her and cried, saying he hated his mother. He wished his mother could have stayed.
The girl gently hugged him and patted his back to comfort him.
But when Wang Chen looked up again, he found that the girl's face had changed to Zhao Tingting's face.
He was shocked and rubbed his eyes before realizing he had misread it.
As the days went by, Wang Chen married the girl.
Women start to change after marriage.
She was hot and cold towards Wang Chen, and would verbally insult him from time to time, saying that he was incapable of being a kept man, that his family was bankrupt, and that his father was a burden.
But after she finished speaking, she cried and apologized, saying that she was just too tired and hoped that Wang Chen could forgive her for speaking without thinking.
Wang Chen was hurt, but he couldn't express it, so he had to endure it.
After all, he has now become inseparable from this woman.
He didn't even dare to think about how he would go on without this woman.
But as time went on, the woman became even more aggressive, constantly humiliating and belittling him.
Instead, he became increasingly irritable and easily angered, and would punch and kick him at the slightest provocation.
Wang Chen's life was extremely stifling, but whenever he mustered the courage to protest...
But then he saw the woman crying her eyes out, apologizing to him and saying she loved him.
Then Wang Chen softened again and began to constantly look for his own mistakes.
He thought that it must be because he was incompetent that the girl who used to be so sensible and lovely had become like this.
He needs to work even harder.
Over time, his mental stress increased, eventually leading to insomnia, mental confusion, and hallucinations.
Once, he woke up from a nightmare, sat up, and looked to his side. The face of the person next to him instantly transformed into the face of Zhao Tingting, whom he had manipulated to death. The person was staring at him with eyes that had no whites, and the smile on their lips was sinister and terrifying.
He screamed out loud.
She startled her partner awake, and when he looked at the woman, she was nowhere to be seen as Zhao Tingting.
Wang Chen felt that his mental state was starting to deteriorate.
He went to see a psychologist without telling his wife. After telling the doctor about his family situation, the doctor frowned and asked suspiciously, "Are you being manipulated by your wife?"
Chapter 18
Died for the villain for the fifth time (18)
Wang Chen then suddenly realized what was going on.
He, a master of PUA, was actually manipulated by a woman in reverse.
He returned home furious, about to unleash his anger, when his wife excitedly embraced him and exclaimed, "Honey! I'm pregnant! We're having a baby!"
Wang Chen froze, all his anger forced down his throat, unable to be released.
But another strange emotion and pressure surged from my heart.
He actually... really wanted a child and wanted to be a good father.
Although he was a scumbag before, he has truly fallen in love with the woman in front of him.
Even if the doctor made it sound very serious, he couldn't bear to give up on this woman.
Giving up the person you love most.
So he held back once again.
During the next ten months of the woman's pregnancy, Wang Chen endured ten times the torment she suffered.
He would even stand there with a knife on his body, his eyes vacant, late at night.
