The whole country c and country f stared at their devices waiting for what was going to happen in the next minute all waiting for what is going to happen
Then, it's started
It wasn't a press conference.
Nor was it some pre-arranged media stunt.
It was a live broadcast, raw and unfiltered, streamed directly from Leng Yumo's personal social media account—an account usually filled with glamorous shots, endorsements, and event appearances.
But today, the screen showed her with no makeup, no filters, just a pale face and tear-reddened eyes.
The broadcast began in silence. Over 200,000 viewers joined in the first minute.
She sat on a couch, fingers nervously clenched, eyes wide with guilt.
And then she spoke.
*Leng Yumo*:
"I don't expect forgiveness. But I can't carry this anymore. I owe everyone the truth. Especially her… and to the Lu family, whose legacy I helped ruin."
She took a shaky breath.
"It started because of something petty. Something so shallow I hate myself for it now. Back in school, my so-called friends made fun of me… they mocked me because the Lu family heiress was trending everywhere. Magazines, runways, events. She was the star."
A flicker of bitterness crossed her face—directed only at herself.
"They called me a shadow. Said the Leng family was becoming irrelevant in the fashion world. I let their words crawl into me. I felt humiliated… small. And instead of being proud of her success, I resented her for it."
Her voice broke.
"I told my brother I was being bullied. I didn't tell him the whole story — just enough to make him act. And he did."
The chat exploded, but she ignored it.
"He trusted me. He believed I was hurt. And I let him go after her, let him tear her world apart — her name, her family, her future. He thought he was protecting me. But he didn't know he was destroying someone who never wronged me."
Tears streamed down her face now.
"The Lu family fell because of a lie I didn't correct. And because of my silence, Lu Jingyan lost everything."
Silence. She swallowed hard, trembling.
"I don't deserve to call her a friend. But to the public, to everyone who ever mocked her, doubted her, or called her a fallen princess desperate to return to glory… she was never at fault. I was."
And with that, she ended the stream.
The response was immediate and intense. "Leng Yumo" trended #1 on Weibo in less than 10 minutes.
$"I'm… speechless. She admitted it. All of it."#
# "So the Lu family downfall was because of a personal grudge?? Over school bullying??"#
#"Lu Jingyan was innocent all along… this is heartbreaking."#
#"I'm actually shocked. Leng Yumo came forward on her own. Respect for the confession, but this is unforgivable."#
#"All those months people trashed Jingyan online, called her desperate for clout — and she said NOTHING. She carried that hate alone."#
# "Justice for Lu Jingyan. She's the queen for surviving this."#
#"I don't know whether to pity or hate Leng Yumo. But at least now we know."#
As the truth spread, so did support for Lu Jingyan. Fans, celebrities, and public figures began speaking up.
Brands that once cut ties with her issued apologies. Former critics deleted old posts.
Some called for legal consequences. Others simply expressed shock that such a powerful family feud had begun with something as shallow as insecurity.
But the one thing everyone agreed on
*Lu Jingyan didn't fall. She was pushed. And still, she rose.*
