That One Rich Fan of MineChapter 5

Editor: Uncia, Sahloknir

Proofreader: DarkSapphire q9XNsO

On a rare day off, Lin Xiting rushed over from school to console her ghost-like older brother. 

Lin Xiting sat on the hanging chair in Lin Xizhou’s apartment—a pink hanging chair for young ladies that she forcibly had her brother install, and it was her throne every time she visited. 

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Although Lin Xiting and Lin Xizhou were not twins, they were very similar in appearance—the most similar were their eyes. They both had phoenix eyes where the outer corner of their eyes were pointed slightly upward, making them appear cold and arrogant. Her brother’s facial features were milder than hers because of the mole on his lip, which made him appear kinder and cuter. Her other features included thin lips, a straight nose, and a long neck—all of which gave her an image of a phoenix resting in the mortal world. 

She was a college freshman this year, in a good college on the Project 985 list, yet her head was only filled with worshipping celebrities.  GtfB4Q

She glanced at Lin Xizhou, who looked like a sad excuse of an eggplant—lifeless and bruised—as she picked at her newly done manicure speechlessly. 

“Who knew that you could be this stupid? I told you to delete the Moments, and you disregarded my suggestions. Also, how did you mess up such simple numbers?”

She flattened her lips. 

“And why are you still so upset? Not only did you get your donation refunded, but you also added your North God on WeChat. This kind of killing two birds with one stone thing would only exist in my happiest dreams. Why are you still so frustrated?”

She continued to mock him, saying, “For someone like you, eventually, you’ll reveal your real identity down to your underwear while chasing idols.”

Lin Xizhou tapped at his phone screen. On the screen was the chat history between him and Ji Beiling.

Lin Xiting rolled her eyes. 

“Apart from Ji Beiling, who do you know in the esports circle that is pleasing to the eyes? It’s either a fat man or someone with a face as round as the moon. Every time there is a camera involved, it would always be a close up of their faces. Just watching a single game would make me lose my appetite.”

Lin Xizhou chuckled. 

“Shallow. Why would you watch people for their face over their game in competitions? That’s all you female fans care about. Which Korean player hasn’t had plastic surgery? Starlight’s nose and cheekbones were altered like a witch’s, and he didn’t even play that well this year.” d6f Fb

Lin Xiting was super into Starlight for a period of time. She gritted her teeth. 

“He’s already a thing of the past. Right now it’s all about HIGH’s Qiming. Not only is he super handsome, but he is also very talented. All the songs he composed are very pleasant to the ears.”

The corner of Lin Xizhou’s lips raised up. 

“Qiming? Huh? Not only were his eyes altered, his nose and chin were also padded. That lower jaw? Surgery. Even the tear mole was an add-on.” dEz Tf

Lin Xiting wanted to cover her ears like a child. 

“What are you talking about?!”

Lin Xizhou took out his phone. 

“His old photos from when he just became popular have already been shared a thousand times. So many people asked his agent where he got the surgery done. Do you want to see the photos?” 0hX5Uo

Lin Xiting took a deep and calming breath. 

“No worries. I love his talented soul, not his appearance.”

“Those songs you were talking about? I heard it was composed by a small singer in a bar and was bought for a hundred thousand. His agent boasted to other agents when he was drunk, saying how he has the eye for talent. Other than that, there’s no shady stuff that Qiming has done apart from the occasional one-night stand. But that’s normal.”

Lin Xiting took another deep, calming breath.  9dmy1q

“Is the singer in that bar handsome?”

Lin Xizhou replied, “I’m looking for the photos…I found it. Another round appearance. You might say he and Qiming come in the same package.” 

Lin Xiting almost broke her new manicure. “People say that ruining a marriage is worse than demolishing ten temples. You’ve already destroyed a potential perfect love story between me and a handsome brother. Lin Xizhou, are you even human?!”

Lin Xizhou grinned. BuxATk

“You only have yourself to blame for having poor judgement. Don’t worry, no matter how stupid you are, you’ll always be my little sister.”

Lin Xiting angrily changed one of her Weibo accounts for following celebrities to a black avatar and deigned to ask, “Then tell me, are there any naturally handsome guys in the entertainment industry, with no dark histories, that are worth chasing?”

Lin Xizhou sat up straighter. 

“Fortunately, I know one.” gn5ybh

Lin Xiting glared at him suspiciously. 

“Who?”

Lin Xizhou smiled. 

“Of course, it is none other than the ‘Violet Star from the Heaven’, your own brother, me! Have you won a single fight with my millet porridge fans? Why don’t you just be my fan club leader? Not only would you get first-hand information, but you could also make private connections with idols. It would definitely satisfy your star-chasing experience.” hwgtXq

Lin Xiting: “…”

Although she was furious, she was also slightly moved.

The translator has something to add:

Future Teo: I think a reader might have left a comment about plastic surgery but I might be just seeing things…which did bring up a good point. There is a disdainful view towards plastic surgery in Chinese culture. This is something my editor, Uncia, had pointed out and I already told her my two cents. dAm4Bu

Personally, I’m pretty numb to the degrading options on people getting plastic surgery, I think this was result of years of ridicule comments from my family, such as all the Korean actor/ actress look the same because they have plastic surgery or that person got their nose done because they don’t have the ‘Asian flat nose’. Having lived in the states, there is less ‘guess if that person has plastic surgery’ nonsense. But I am interested in what the readers think.

And there is also the China/ Japan/ Korean hate relationship you see in other novels. But that’s a rant for another day.

  5. Lin Xizhou don’t need surgeries, it all thanks to the seminal fluid donor and birth giver who has chef’s kiss ✨iNcRedIbLE gEnES✨

    thank you for the chapter!

  10. Lol amazing siblings. 🤣 The best part is the end where she got moved and furious over getting promoted to his Fanclub leader. 😂

  11. Personally I don’t think that plastic surgery is bad, but when it’s brought to the extreme I do feel disgust. There is this drama called “Gangnam Beauty Id” Where the plastic surgery is really talked and it is really good, personally I prefer the Manhwa.

    Sometimes in some stories, some characters are insulted die to plastic surgeries because of bad behaviors (like insulting someone or being a bitch /bastqrd), in tose cases it feel gratifying. But in normal cases I think that plastic surgeries is not a big thing, like they weren’t happy with themselves so they change it. People always say love yourself, but that is sometimes difficult and not everyone can do it.

  13. Hmm I think plastic surgery is a gift to let people be confident about themselves, but just like anything else in the world, there is also something bad about it. There are celebrities and influential people who pretend they didn’t have plastic surgery and that they are just born perfect, which leads to enabling unrealistic beauty standards. Though ofc, for me, the pros outweigh the cons. Outside East Asia, in my perspective, it’s rare for people to be pressured by plastic surgery.

  14. It seems to me that plastic surgery is a chance to become the kind of person you will love more. But you need to know the measure in everything, because when it starts to harm your own health or violates the rules of ethics, it becomes a problem

  16. It’s not plastic surgery that’s bad, it’s the people who shames it not knowing they’re the cause. Who told them to constantly point out what’s wrong with a person’s physical features making them less appreciative of themselves each day. When I was a kid, strangers, friends and classmates alike would point out how I have such a big nose. I never felt like something was wrong with it before but because they just HAD to mention it everytime, it made me feel insecure until something took root in my mind that when I grow up I’d definitely change my nose. But now I just stopped caring. Unfortunately, not all people could withstand those kind of pressures, there are those you can hear who went under the knife multiple times just to achieve a certain ‘beauty standard’. It’s horrible how people made them feel they all had to go through that first before society accepts them. While I do understand why some people doesn’t approve of it, I also know that some are simply insensitive/ignorant (because they never experienced it themselves) of the underlying cause why would someone would deeply want plastic surgery (yes, deeply. it’s costly and risky no? definitely not something everyone can afford, it also takes a lot of determination, courage, at some point it also needs obsession & ofc resources before someone can do surgery).

  17. surgery is for whoever wants it, and has the money for it. as long as the procedures are not detrimental to their health and the surgeons are reputable, it’s whatever, yk? the surgery is for them to feel good about themselves, no other person should have any say in the matter.

  18. I’m neutral to plastic surgery. It’s so commonplace among celebrities worldwide.. And, as fans, we can’t really say we don’t encourage it. We want good looking people. Why critisize when that’s exactly what is given?

    And tbh, plastic surgery costs some effort, being born with good genes is a lottery where the winner literally did nothing.

    How can anyone say one is better than the other?

    I can have (and I have) an opinion on what I like to see (fotocopied noses, chins and jaws ain’t it). But moraly judge? It’s ridiculous.

  19. Aww the sister brother relationship is so cute and wholesomee!!!! 💗💗💗

    Thank you for the chapter! 🌺💖

  20. I don’t like plastic surgery because it’s fake and encourages more fakeness in society. If everyone had to simply look the way they look, there’d be less striving to look like some ridiculous beauty standard. Plastic surgery creates and enforces these standards, and only the privileged/monied can afford them, creating a hierarchy of beauty reliant on wealth instead of appreciating the uniqueness of individuals.

  21. I think plastic surgery can be good in some (minority) cases. However, the way it is being promoted and proliferating is a bit disturbing. These procedures are still surgeries, and surgeries are never free of risk or side effects. I’ve heard of people going to other countries to get plastic surgery because it’s cheaper. I’ve heard of people doing major surgery to follow a trend without seriously considering the consequences or nature of trends. None of this sounds good, and honestly, de-stigmatizing plastic surgery means there’s no need for many people to seriously consider the potential impact of the plastic surgery that they’ve been eyeing. It also means people who might not normally consider it could feel pressure due to their peers. It might also mean beauty standards get warped even more. That said, I don’t think it’s good to mock people for having had plastic surgery. Hate the procedure and societal pressure to look a certain why, don’t hate the people who give in to the pressure.

  22. Sibling dynamics on point! Also about plastic surgeries, my opinion is you do you, but it’s sad that so much of it is motivated by societal pressure or beauty standards (weather conscious or not).

  23. I personally think that plastic surgery isn’t inherently bad, but celebs should be transparent about getting plastic surgery to prevent the perpetuation of unattainable beauty standards

  24. On the subject of plastic surgery, I think it’s fine if it’s something for medical reasons like if you have a scar or burn damage. But using plastic surgery for drastic measures on your face can lead to some scary premature aging and other health consequences so I would never consider getting it done for myself or a family member just for cosmetic purposes. Also, I just think that altering your facial structure to a more Western appearance for Asians or other people of color in particular is a sign that you are dealing with some internalized racism. This is like the colorism problems that people with darker skin pigmentation suffer from in places like the Philippines or India. Having a darker skin color or a rounder facial structure doesn’t mean you’re ugly, it means that you’re beautiful in a different way. I think that everyone focuses way way too much on appearance issues to the point that many young people suffer from body dysmorphia, eating disorders, and use whitening products with dangerous chemicals in them. I had a Taiwanese roommate who had a slightly rounder face, darker skin, and a little taller than the average girl where she came from. Because of that she forced herself to diet with insane low-calorie meals, used whitening creams on a daily basis, and never wore high heels (this choice was because she thought being tall was ugly, not because she didn’t like heels). In every respect, she was obviously beautiful but because her features and height didn’t align with the accepted norms of beauty around her, she lived a life where she constantly restrained her inner desires. From my viewpoint, it was saddening because she seemed quite unhappy. I’m not trying to judge people who have plastic surgery for cosmetic purposes, but I hope people who do so can be mindful of exactly why they are choosing to have the procedure done. Having plastic surgery or getting breast implants because you think it will make you more attractive – that you will only be attractive if you change yourself significantly – can ultimately be a sign of some deeper insecurities. I also wish that Chinese authors in particular would stop promoting colorism and Western standards of beauty, it may earn them a few readers but also drive some discerning readers away.
