A few days ago, during an interview, I mentioned that I had never eaten crayfish before starting my acting career. Immediately, a wave of ridicule emerged online: “Country Bumpkin Poor girl.”
Under the Weibo post of fellow actress Chen Xinyao, fans commented:
“Xinyao is the best, Socialite has the best temperament.”
“That Lin Xiaoran, never heard of her, don’t even know which company she’s from, just an eighteen-line artist.”
“Xinyao’s new drama is about to air, let’s get her trending!”
Chen Xinyao retweeted and commented: “Don’t say that, their company is still quite strong.”
“I heard Lin Xiaoran is also going to participate in that Travel Variety Show? With Xinyao? She’ll definitely be crushed.”
“Yeah, Xinyao is a real young lady from a wealthy family, how can some Country Bumpkin compare?”
Even my dad, who is the richest man in our city, posted on Weibo:
“Little Cotton Jacket has entered the entertainment industry, who will inherit the family business?”
Chen Xinyao was the first to jump into the trending comments:
“Uncle, don’t worry, I’ll help you inherit.”
This post quickly rose to the top of the trending topics.
Lin Xiaoran Country Bumpkin
Chen Xinyao Socialite
Young Lady Variety Show
Netizens commented:
“I used to think Lin Xiaoran was quite pretty, but compared to Chen Xinyao, it’s like heaven and earth.”
“Lin Xiaoran, just don’t embarrass yourself. Our Xinyao could crush her with just one finger.”
“Chen Xinyao has a good family background, is beautiful, and has professional training.
"Some Country Bumpkin should just hurry up and leave the entertainment industry."
After finishing the day's schedule, I sat in the car to rest.
I opened Weibo, and the top trending topic prominently displayed my name:
Lin Xiaoran Country Bumpkin.
I was already used to it.
The company didn't help me shake off this persona, so whenever a scene of me eating crayfish appeared on a variety show, I would be mocked by netizens.
Scrolling down a bit, I saw that the official announcement for the upcoming Travel Variety Show had been made.
“Lin Xiaoran, Chen Xinyao, Sun Heng”
The comments were all dragging me down, praising Chen Xinyao and speculating about my relationship with Sun Heng.
“Can Lin Xiaoran stop riding on our Xinyao's coattails? It's so annoying.”
“Xinyao and Sun Heng are the perfect couple, okay!”
“What is Lin Xiaoran even? How can she be compared to our Xinyao?”
I exited Weibo in silence.
Honestly, I didn't even want to participate in this variety show, but Sun Heng suddenly decided to join for some unknown reason, forcing me to face this wave of negative comments from netizens.
Sun Heng and I were childhood sweethearts.
We were neighbors when we were young, and I always liked to follow him around while playing. Later on, we both got into the same university, just in different majors. Eventually, we both entered the entertainment industry together.
But our reputations were completely different.
Sun Heng quickly rose to fame with his outstanding looks and singing talent, while I was labeled as a "Country Bumpkin" by the company.
It has been a steady but unremarkable journey. Fortunately, my agent has been quite diligent, and thanks to some confrontations and a few endorsements, my Weibo followers have reached several million.
Sun Heng called me: "Xiaoran, why don't you invite me to join you on a variety show?"
I replied casually, "I'm afraid your fans would flood my DMs with insults."
Sun Heng sighed, "Why don't you clarify to them that you're not a Country Bumpkin, but a genuine young lady from a wealthy family? If you're worried about the hassle, I can help you clear things up."
I laughed, "It's fine, I don't care." After all, I don't plan to stay in this industry for too long; my dad is waiting for me to return and take over the family business.
