The second day of the Lunar New Year, an important day.
This day, the web series "Eighth Heartbeat" premiered.
Zhou Yun posted on Weibo to promote the show, feeling somewhat excited but also somewhat uneasy.
She had not seen the final cut and didn't know what the outcome of the show would be.
At ten in the morning, the episode went live.
Zhou Yun quietly opened Yuehai Network, and saw a carousel ad for the show on the homepage.
She clicked in, waited a moment for it to buffer, and then the theme song began to play.
...
A young and youthful girl appeared on screen.
It was Zhou Yun.
She walked through a crowd.
A voiceover started: "My name is Lin Xiaosu, I've just graduated. You might think this is a cliché start, but soon, I'm going to meet a man who will entangle with my future life."
Zhou Yun couldn't help but contort her facial features.
This line of voiceover still made her skin crawl; it was too cringeworthy.
