Late one night, I was in a rideshare with a young woman when the driver told us he had to pick up a third passenger. She immediately started arguing with him.
"Don't you dare! Take me home right now, or I'll report you!"
"Miss, you booked a shared ride, not a private one—"
"I don't care! I'll call the police and tell them you're deliberately going off the designated route and that you're up to something!"
The driver's expression darkened by the second, and I could see his temper starting to get the better of him. I quickly paid the fare and pulled the young woman out of the car.
She suddenly shrieked, "Help! This man is trying to harass me!"
The moment she said it, several passersby rushed over and pinned me to the ground.
Before I could even explain what had happened, I was taken to the police station.
Overnight, she became the "Rideshare Nightmare Girl" everyone online sympathized with, gained over a million followers.
Meanwhile, netizens doxxed me and exposed all my personal information, and countless people online bombarded me with curses and threats.
In the end, I died a violent death.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back in that shared ride…
