Afterward, the writer conducted a series of confirmations and obtained a critical piece of information—Tang Shu only participated in the written exam for the graduate entrance test but received her admission notice before the interview!
This is completely unreasonable. You should know that at dical University, an extraordinarily competitive dical college, the interview is sotis even more important than the written exam.
Passing the written exam indicates that a candidate has the necessary academic proficiency and ets the school’s requirents for professional knowledge. Once everyone satisfies this condition, students compete further during the interview stage.
But Tang Shu skipped an essential step entirely, bypassed the group, and entered through the school’s gates. Moreover, according to insiders, her acceptance letter was sent out in advance, and her enrollnt date is scheduled for the end of August next year. In other words, Tang Shu will start graduate studies a year early.
Is this even acceptable?
[So what do you think? Could Tang Shu’s exception for early admission at dical University be due to her influential identity as She Yu Yu?]
The article concluded with a multiple-choice question, and the question stirred up a significant controversy online.
So people believed that She Yu Yu’s contributions to traditional Chinese dicine were undeniable. Not only had she enhanced the herbal benefits of Exquisite Plant, but she had also improved the processing techniques of many herbs, making her a figure of epochal significance. Early admission was not unwarranted.
Talent, especially talent with groundbreaking contributions in a specific field, deserves preferential treatnt. Shouldn’t their hard work yield its rewards?
On the other hand, so strongly opposed this view. So what if she was She Yu Yu? If Tang Shu sat for the graduate exam, she should have followed the rules step by step. Cutting corners like this is entirely unacceptable.
The two opposing options in this multiple-choice question ignited intense debate among netizens and beca the key factor in Tang Shu trending online.
But...
"Imperial Capital dical University also made it to the trending list, and it’s ranked second!"
Tang Shu said suspiciously, "The focus of the article was clearly on , and the question even targeted . How did the school get dragged in?"
Beside her, Jing Yu handed her the phone, "Take a look at this, and you’ll understand."
What?
Tang Shu glanced at the screen and found an article titled "What Lies Behind Imperial Capital dical University’s Early Admission Decision." Although the narrative resembled the previous article, its focus was quite different.
If the earlier article questioned whether Tang Shu was qualified for early admission, this one emphasized the school’s decision.
[The writer sorted out the tiline: Tang Shu must have prepared for a good score on the graduate exam before her She Yu Yu identity was revealed, but her acceptance letter was only issued after the exposure of her identity. Clearly, the decision rested with the school, and Imperial Capital dical University must bear full responsibility.]
[This brings up another deeply unsettling question: Did the school truly make its decision out of deference to She Yu Yu, or was it because of Tang Shu’s societal influence? We can’t say for sure...]
Well then, in excusing herself, she managed to drag a century-old institution into the mud, accusing the school leadership of favoritism based on social status. This tactic was sothing she recognized imdiately—it’s known as sophisticated shade-throwing.
On the surface, it seed to advocate for Tang Shu, but in reality, it didn’t. If the school admitted to making the decision in favor of She Yu Yu, Tang Shu had already drawn wrath with the earlier article’s multiple-choice question. On the other hand, if the school revoked the decision due to fairness concerns, it would be even worse—procedures would need to be repeated, and there would be no guarantee of eventual admission.
No matter how you looked at it, it wasn’t looking good for the person at the center of it all.
"What started as a straightforward graduate admission case has now turned into a social issue debated by millions. Aren’t I just brilliant?"
Speechless.
Tang Shu felt a bit wronged but, upon reflection, also figured it wasn’t totally unfair. Her emotions were admittedly complicated.
Jing Yu, infected by her bizarrely optimistic spirit, laughed. "So, Miss Tang, the trigger of social issues, it looks like you’ve unintentionally offended soone."
"How can you tell?"
"These two articles might not co from the sa account, but the IDs point to the sa origin."
"..." I thought you were using your brilliant mind—the one that’s undefeated in the business world—to analyze this. Turns out, it’s because of a cheat code?
Tang Shu stared blankly at the string of computer codes sent to him, confused.
Seeing her thoughts, Jing Yu reached out to ruffle her fluffy hair.
"You don’t need a brain to know soone did this on purpose."
The two articles had turned into a social event within a day—it couldn’t have happened without so calculated stirring behind the scenes.
"So you’re calling stupid?"
"No, you’re a genius dical student who triggers societal issues."
"..."
For the first ti, Tang Shu found her fiancé a little irritating.
As Jing Yu t her resentful glance, his heart imdiately lted. "I’ll have Yunzhen look into who’s manipulating public opinion for you."
"Fine."
Shen Yan was probably already buried in work, even during the holiday season—he’d definitely need a raise after New Year’s.

Online rumors escalated further, yet Starshine dia and Tang Shu’s calm deanor were nothing like what one would expect from the involved parties. Facing a sea of netizens, they didn’t even bother to reply once.
This left many netizens feeling dissatisfied. What, you think you’re too good to respond?
And so... The discussions got even more heated. Topics that initially targeted the school began to shift toward Tang Shu herself, leading to three full days of "screen dominance."
anwhile, Tang Shu, upon receiving the evidence Xie Yunjin uncovered, continued helping Father Tang handle mutated snow lotus.
The outside world and Tang Village felt like entirely separate universes: one rowdy and bustling, the other a quiet haven. Of course, the haven seed a bit barren during winter.
"Who said I’m not responding? This isn’t the right ti. Anyone with half a brain wouldn’t make a move before figuring out who’s controlling the narrative."
Tang Shu, with muddied hands, carefully tended to a few Moonward Plant seedlings, delicately transplanting them.
"Now that we’ve got it figured out—it’s... Sister Luo’s old rival."
"Wang Zheng?"
Seeing the barrage of chat logs and transaction records, Tang Shu raised an intrigued eyebrow. She had nearly forgotten about this person.
"Not just him. There’s soone else. The two are essentially using each other... or teaming up?"
Jing Yu still wasn’t sure how to describe the relationship between Wang Zheng and Feng Yan—one used money to break school ties and obtain internal information, while the other coordinated with major influencers on social dia to steer public opinion. Overall, their teamwork seed fairly harmonious.
"Wash your hands first."
He filled a basin and ward the water beside her, waiting for Tang Shu to clean off the gri before handing her the materials sent over by Xie Yunzhen.
"Imperial Capital dical University will likely co up with a response soon. Have you contacted Professor Yu yet?"
