As soon as that image appeared, the comments exploded with outrage. [Isn't that a screenshot of that village girl? How disgusting! She actually found the goddess's forum! What if she really plagiarizes?]
Sophie didn't respond but instead created a new post with that same image, [Sister, looking forward to a fair competition with you!]
This post solidified the accusation of plagiarism against me, and my Instagram was flooded with unread messages.
[What a shameful person! That's Sophie's hard work; how dare you steal it!]
[Who do you think you are being Smith's biological daughter? You should have been sent to the mountains forever when you were lost!]
[People like you don't deserve to live!]

The feeling of being drowned in online harassment returned with full force.
I sighed deeply and checked my watch; tomorrow was the final day for submitting entries for the competition. No matter what I did now, it would be too late.
I decided to give up and bought a plane ticket to travel instead.
Although I felt reluctant, I couldn't think of any better options.
