A forum thread was created called [Year 1 English Faculty Shi Yao Is A High Achiever], which revealed Shi Yao's results ever since she enrolled into G University—an entire list of straight ''s .
There was another forum thread called [G University Women's 10km Marathon Record Holder, Shi Yao, is also G University's Women's 100m Sprint Record Holder], which had a photo of Shi Yao taking down the champion seat for the Autumn Sports Meet last year .
There was yet another forum thread called [The babe who thrashed Qin Yiran in the 10km Marathon earlier in the afternoon got full marks for her English in the National Higher Education Entrance Examination], which had a photo containing Shi Yao's results in the National Higher Education Entrance Examination . Just as the title stated, she received full marks for her English, and the scores for her other subjects were also so high to that even those who had been known as high achievers back in their high school had nothing but respect for her too .
There was yet another forum thread called [Year 1 Shi Yao took the Year 4 English modules in her first semester], which posted Shi Yao's score for the examination in that module .

And these were just a few of the more popular ones; there were still many other threads that were related to Shi Yao . There was one thread which reported that Shi Yao had received first place in the G University English Oral Competition, one that wrote that she was among the top three in the G University Debate Competition, and one that described how one of her short stories had been published in a magazine . . .
There was even someone who compiled every single thread on Shi Yao that had appeared on the forum and made an evaluation on the entire matter . The thread went by the title [This Is A True Goddess, A Goddess Who Is The Embodiment Of G University's Campus Belle] .
The responses in the thread were also surprisingly consistent . There were those expressing that they wanted to kneel down to her, remarks on how she could have lived off her face and yet still wanted to rely on her talents to astound others, compliments that she was simply too impressive, and exclamations that she was not a human but a god, one who could live without a man . . . All in all, they were all praises .
Of course, because Shi Yao and Qin Yiran once had a conflict on the school forum, quite a few people spoke about Qin Yiran as well .
Most of the comments compared Shi Yao to Qin Yiran—one was a Campus Belle, and the other was a Campus Farce . There was really no grounds for comparison at all! If they were Lin Jiage, they would've chosen Shi Yao as well . After all, Qin Yiran was too much of wimp that she couldn't even finish the last lap for her 10km marathon . . . If the student populace was filled with praises when speaking of Shi Yao, they had nothing but contempt and disdain for Qin Yiran .

Upon reading the comments on the forum, the ones who were the most excited were none other than Shi Yao's three roommates .
Jiang Yue: "How refreshing! Qin Yiran really raised a boulder just to crush her own feet! Attempting to steal a chicken only to lose a fistful of rice! Weaving a wedding gown for others to wear! Lost a wife together with an army of soldiers!"
He Tiantian: "She deserves it . If she didn't try to pull some strings in the shadows, she wouldn't have ended up like that in the first place . There's no need to pity her at all . Right, Nuannuan?"
Leng Nuan placed down the book she was reading and nodded . "Using a line from TV dramas, this would be called 'villains sure know their melodrama well' . "

"Nuannuan's words are really spot-on!" Jiang Yue nodded vehemently in agreement . After which, she turned to Shi Yao and asked, "Yaoyao, would you like to give a celebratory speech on this topic?"
Instead of shyly backing away from the situation, Shi Yao grandly spoke up, "Of course I do…"
A radiant smile blossomed on her face as she looked at her three roommates joyfully and said, "I've already made up my mind! I want yogurt for breakfast tomorrow, milk tea for lunch, and potato chips for dinner!"
He Tiantian: " . . . "
Jiang Yue: " . . . "
Leng Nuan: " . . . "
Noting the trio's silence, Shi Yao looked at them apprehensively and asked, "You guys aren't thinking of shirking off your debts, are you?"
Shirking off our debt, your head! We're just speechless that you can only think about food while we're talking about the forum . . .
While the trio was just about to rebuke Shi Yao, the latter's phone suddenly rang .
She took a look at the caller—it was Han Jing . Kneeling to someone is somewhat a slang term in Chinese, often taken as an expression of defeat or admiration or the two together . These are all Chinese idioms . Basically, they're all referring to attempting to do something, only to fail tragically and suffer huge losses . This is a famous quote from Empresses in the Palace, but an extremely difficult one to translate due to the multiple meanings of the words which all makes sense . This is my best take on it given the current context while preserving the tone of the phrase as far as I could .
