Endorsed by official media and praised by music critics, the song "Change Yourself" soared in popularity in the following days...
Chen Zhiyu had risen to the top!
He was indeed cemented in the first place!
The joke about him being the Perennial Runner-up was shattered, and it happened in such a way that no one could have anticipated.
Yet, the zany netizens always managed to find new hilarity—
"If you can't beat them, join them; indeed a wise saying!"
"Chen Zhiyu kept coming in second because he clung to the wrong "giant thigh" (Chinese slang for seeking support from someone powerful)? The biggest difference between Splendid and Starlight is that Starlight has Xian Yu."
"Let's admit it, Xian Yu's "leg" is quite thick (meaning Xian Yu is quite influential)!"
"So, he who gets Xian Yu, gets the world?"
"Doesn't Xian Yu look like the cheat-code-grandpa from fantasy novels?"
"He's indeed a humanoid cheat code."
