That night, there was an announcement on Yulan Literature's official Weibo account.

Yulan Literature (verified): Effective today, Yulan Literature has terminated its contract with the author, Ruo Lan. All related works will be removed from our platform. For all readers who have already paid, you may be able to request a refund before 8pm tomorrow night. All funds will be returned to the reader's account. Refund requests are accepted between 12.6-12.7 (8pm). Thank you for your understanding.

When this post went up, Jia Hao wasn't around to suppress it. So Ruo Lan, who was already hated, was immediately shot up to the top of search rankings.

Like an onion, her dark past was uncovered one layer at a time.

Her plastic surgery, the way she bullied a small author during the yearly celebrations, how she used her body in exchange for resources, how she was a mistress...

Initially, everyone thought the scandals were just for fun, but when they clicked into the information posted, they realized it was all true.

Netizens: This is f*cking blinding!

Before a day even passed, the netizens used images of Ruo Lan to create memes.

Song Yaoyao's phone continuously rang as Meng Qiqi sent her numerous images.

Meng Qiqi: Hahaha, did you see these? It's so refreshing!

Meng Qiqi: This is karma! She's probably spewing right now!

Meng Qiqi: Ahem! After doing bad things openly, it's no surprise that she's on the search rankings.

…

Different from what Ruo Lan expected, after her contract was terminated, not only did Yulan Culture not suffer any loss, they even grew in popularity.

Because of their plan to not tolerate plagiarism, many authors edited their novels overnight to avoid punishment, and this gave the website a good reputation.

Ruo Lan was completely shocked. In the middle of the night, she had woken up to get water and decided to take a look on Yulan Literature. Initially, she expected her readers to speak up for her and give her words of comfort.

But when she saw the trending post on their front page, she almost coughed up blood in anger.

#Hahaha, she's finally gone. LMAO!

1l: +1 I'm sorry that I can't contain it. You could say I'm taking joy in another's misfortune, or you could say that this is a cheap act. Regardless, I'm just happy that she left. Yulan finally did something useful! Ruo Lan was tarnishing the website. As a reader, this was meant to be a place for novel-lovers, but somehow, it became a dictatorship. It was because of her that my favorite author was forced to leave!

2l: +2 My friend closed her account because she couldn't stand it. As soon as she heard this news, she called me and told me she was going to write again! Hahaha

…

11l: Yulan's spring has come!

12l: Go!!

13l: By the way, have you heard that management also changed?

14l: Huh? Really? Don't lie to me!

...

20l: It's true. That 'top author' was involved with him so he was fired. Worst of all, Manager Jia was a married man. Apparently, he's being investigated right now. If he's caught embezzling funds, dismissal is the least of his worries...

21l: Woah, how exciting!

Exciting my *ss!

Ruo Lan was furious when she saw the comments. She slammed her laptop shut and brushed everything off her desk in anger.
