The singing competition show was a huge hit, but it hadn't yet reached the audience in the drama industry.

But now the TV series is a hit, and it has truly captured the hearts of both music fans and moviegoers.

After becoming an internet sensation, I worked every day, only getting two or three hours of sleep a day. As soon as I opened my eyes, I was putting on makeup, and I was basically on a plane when I woke up.

Endless commercials to shoot, endless interviews to give.

Even Tang Yu herself couldn't stand it anymore.

After two busy months, she locked herself in the film crew for the rest of the year, and apart from shooting magazines and advertising campaigns, she didn't leave Hengdian at all.

However, this also led to several times more paparazzi appearing when Tang Yu was filming her new drama in the second half of the year.

The new drama she is collaborating with Huace on is "The White-Haired Princess". The plot is full of twists and turns, and the female lead, Rong Le, is caught in a love triangle with three men, all of whom have entanglements with her.

Huace Media cast Lin Gengxin as the male lead, Zongzheng Wuyou, in this extremely Mary Sue-esque plot.

The role of Rong Qi, Rong Le's brother who was entangled with her throughout her life, was played by Luo Yunxi, while the role of General Fu Chou, who married Rong Le, was played by Jing Chao.

Tang Yu was having a blast acting alongside three handsome men who were head over heels in love with her. She even called Zhang Ruoyun to complain and brag about it.

"What I'm most satisfied with is the ending of the script. Rong Le died and went back to the modern era. Hahaha, what's so great about the ancient era? Even if you love it, you have to run away!"

Zhang Ruoyun paused for a second, then started complaining.

"You changed the ending of this script yourself, didn't you?"

"Yes, I'm the kind of bully that film companies hate the most. I change the script as soon as I join the crew! But their script is really a bit rough. I wouldn't have taken the role if I didn't have that right."

Besides, I also promised to produce the OST for this drama, I was in charge of the martial arts direction, and I gave suggestions on the costumes, makeup, and props. I'm practically a producer, so can't I revise the script?

Fortunately, the male leads weren't very famous yet, so these three didn't interfere much with the script.

"Okay, have you gained weight back? Don't get too thin, I worry about you getting sick every day."

Tang Yu obediently agreed on the phone that she would eat well and take care of her health.

But who has an appetite when filming period dramas in the sweltering summer heat?

Her biggest restraint was eating fewer popsicles to avoid stomach problems.

After Zhang Ruoyun arrived in Hengdian to start filming his new drama in September, he visited his girlfriend at her hotel.

Then, his girlfriend lost even more weight.

"You're so thin right now, I'm afraid a gust of wind could blow you away."

Zhang Ruoyun's tone was full of heartache and helplessness.

Tang Yu felt a warm glow in her heart as she looked at her boyfriend's worried expression, but also felt a little embarrassed.

She quickly closed the door, then jumped up and wrapped her legs around Zhang Ruoyun's waist, followed by tightly embracing her boyfriend's neck.

"My dear, I can't do it! Eating in 40-degree heat, I'd rather go crazy!"

Zhang Ruoyun reached out and supported the legs of the person in his arms, then tilted his head back and laughed affectionately.

"I can't do anything with you. Did you eat watermelon today? I bought one."

"Eating too much will make me need to pee. Of course I didn't eat during the day. Hurry up and cut some so I can have something cool!"

Zhang Ruoyun kissed the person in his arms before placing them on the sofa and sitting down. Then he turned and went to the table to cut a watermelon.

Tang Yu ran straight to the bathroom to take a shower. She was covered in sweat. Why was it still so hot in September?

After taking a shower, Tang Yu put on a nightgown and came out.

"Sit down. The spoon is already inside, and I've turned on the TV. Choose whatever you want to watch."

Tang Yu jumped onto the sofa instantly, then grabbed half a watermelon, picked up a spoon, and started scooping and eating.

When it comes to eating watermelon, it's definitely more enjoyable to eat half of it.

The two leaned against each other, chatting and watching a movie, while also complaining about the messy things that happened on set.

Nothing is surprising in Hengdian; there's always new gossip every day.

However, people in the industry won't proactively leak information, so they can only share it among themselves.

"By the way, I have some gossip. I heard your dad has fallen for a girl younger than you. And the old house caught fire?"

Zhang Ruoyun was silent for a second.

Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast.

"Yes, so I've decided to part ways with him from now on!"

"After we get married, I don't want him to meet your parents. Is that okay?"

Have we jumped to the topic of marriage so quickly?

Tang Yu put down the watermelon and then turned to look at the person next to her.

"You want to get married?"

"You are at the peak of your career right now, so marriage is not the right thing to do."

But all I want to do in this life is marry you, but I don't get along with my parents.

If my parents can't show up when we're discussing marriage, and I've broken off relations with them, I'm afraid your parents won't like that kind of family.

So, do I need to maintain a superficial relationship with them because of this?

Zhang Ruoyun was smiling, but his eyes were glistening with tiny tears, and the corners of his eyes suddenly turned red.

He quickly turned his back to Tang Yu, not wanting to appear disheveled.

"Yu Yu, you don't need to rush to answer, there's still a long way to go before marriage..."

"Don't look at me like that. I'm actually scared. I haven't done anything wrong, but I might be disliked by my aunt and uncle because of my parents' mistakes."

Tang Yu was silent for a moment, then reached out from behind and wrapped her arms around the waist of the person in front of her.

She rubbed her cheek against the crook of his neck, then whispered a soft kiss.

"Do you know what? I bribed two people around my own father to keep an eye on his movements and to call me immediately if they see anyone suspicious."

Feeling the warm fragrance behind him and the gentle breath on his neck, Zhang Ruoyun turned around instantly and hugged the person tightly.

"Yu Yu, is there something you need from your uncle?"

"My father was not a bad person by nature, but he was indeed ambitious but incompetent. He dreamed of getting something for nothing all his life and was always only interested in quick profits in business."

So they are always being cheated, and even if they make a fortune, it will be cheated away by others immediately.

In the past, the scams he encountered were usually only worth a few hundred thousand yuan, because he was surrounded by scammers of that level.

At this point, Tang Yu sighed.

"But now that I'm famous, the number of scammers around him will increase exponentially, and he might be rigged into a gambling scheme and lose tens of millions."

He could also be tricked into using my reputation to borrow money, possibly tens of millions of yuan in high-interest loans, or he could be tricked into doing business and end up with tens of millions of yuan in debt.

In an even worse scenario, he might gradually become so flattered by those around him that he forgets who he is and then forgets that I am his daughter. He might only want to exploit my value and use my fame to freeload off others.

I had to prepare for this because, as far back as I can remember, he'd have a failed business deal every two or three years.

So Tang Yu spent money to bribe someone to monitor her father.

How could someone who spends their whole life seeking quick success and instant benefits possibly avoid being scammed?

"I'm telling you this to tell you that I also have a broken family, and my father is a ticking time bomb. Are you scared?"

"No." Zhang Ruoyun quickly shook his head, then pressed his cheek against Tang Yu's and spoke.

"I'm overthinking it. These people are not important at all. I only care about your opinion."

After saying this, Zhang Ruoyun tightened his grip on the person in his arms, as if afraid that the other person would leave.

The breath beside her ear was hot and lingering, yet Tang Yu struggled gently.

"I understand the logic... but it's really hot to be hugged like this..."

Zhang Ruoyun's chest was originally full of tender emotions, but at this moment he spoke without saying a word.

"Shouldn't you kiss me at a time like this?"

Tang Yu laughed. She gently bit the other person's Adam's apple, then kissed him little by little until the delicate kisses landed on the corners of his eyes. She then gently stroked his hair and laughed.

"Do you want to meet my parents this Chinese New Year? They'll probably like you."

Zhang Ruoyun was stunned for a second, then his eyes lit up with surprise.

He leaned down and kissed her gently, chuckling, "Is this meeting the parents?"

"Idiot, do I need to explain?"

Tang Yu glared at him, and Zhang Ruoyun immediately raised his hands in surrender, then clung to her and kissed her lightly.

"Tang Yuyu, I'm very happy."

"I see it."

Is it still hot?

Tang Yu wiped the sweat from his face.

"Don't you feel hot?"

Zhang Ruoyun smiled and then gently stroked his cheek.

"Why don't you change your clothes? I can't stand you dressed like this."

She was wearing a V-neck slip dress and was leaning against him like that; he was really struggling to hold back.

Tang Yu's eyes sparkled with laughter. She leaned forward and kissed him, her smile both mischievous and adorable.

"Don't play innocent with me. I'm wearing these clothes to seduce you, so why aren't you taking the bait?"

"Isn't it hot?"

Tang Yu laughed and wrapped her legs around the other person: "You're so cute, I can tolerate it."

Zhang Ruoyun's eyes and brows were full of smiles. He pressed the person down and kissed them, whispering, "You're the cutest."
