Huayu 2015, the Artist of Light and Shadow

Chapter 96 Church Performance Leads to Godhood! Lu Yunzhou Gains a Million Followers Overnight; Hype is No Match for Absolute Talent.

The hype surrounding Dilraba Dilmurat and Lu Han's relationship has exceeded everyone's expectations.

Both agencies initially thought that with just a small reality show, the total time the two would work together would be no more than 12 hours.

working days.

Netizens probably won't take it seriously.

Because, in the logic of a normal person, no one would be foolish enough to believe that Dilraba and Lu Han could go from being complete strangers before the show started to falling in love at first sight and completing all the preparations for a relationship in just 12 working days.

During this process, they also need to be watched by countless staff members of the production team and scrutinized by various guests—they are not special forces soldiers, so how can they date under such circumstances?

Lu Han completely dismissed it as nonsense.

In fact, under normal circumstances, Lu Han wouldn't make an official announcement.

Although he is a bit stubborn and has the temperament of a rich kid, he is still quite intelligent.

However, Dilraba's little action ignited Guan Xiaotong's fury.

Just a few days ago —

Clips of Dilraba Dilmurat and Lu Han are circulating everywhere online, and the ratings for the show "Keep Running" have increased by 30% because of the couple pairing they created.

The production team was overjoyed.

Dilraba's fan base has grown by nearly 1000 million in the past month.

The hype surrounding the "Lu-Di couple" gradually shifted from Lu Yunzhou and Dilraba to Lu Han and Dilraba.

No matter which "LU" she's involved in the hype, Dilraba will always be the beneficiary.

At this critical juncture, Dilraba was not idle at all. In order to capitalize on this surge in online traffic, she even posted a short video on Miaopai with a lighthearted and witty tone.

She even asked the production team with a slightly questioning tone, "There are many sweet scenes between Lu Han and Dilraba that were not aired. Aren't you heartbroken that so many were edited out?"

This Weibo post caused a huge stir!

Lu Han's fans were completely outraged.

Because Lu Han has been debunking rumors for the past few months, and he and Dilraba only worked together for a total of 12 working days.

He even jokingly asked others, "Would you fall in love with your colleague within 12 working days?"

'

Lu Han's little fans, of course, thought it was impossible.

Therefore, from Lu Han's perspective, the story ends here. He has made it very clear.

However, at this critical juncture, Dilraba disregarded everything and posted a highly suggestive Weibo post.

This time, Lu Han's fans weren't going to take it lying down.

They were already being ridiculed daily by Lu Yunzhou's fans.

After all, Lu Yunzhou didn't even bother with Miss Nazha, the goddess of beauty from the same region, while Lu Han was having a hot romance with Dilraba.

How can Dilraba's looks compare to Gulnazar's in this era?

When Gulnazar and Zhang Han officially announced their relationship, she was criticized by many people—simply because she was too beautiful, practically a born mistress, the common enemy of all women.

Who would consider Dilraba an enemy?

It's not that Dilraba isn't pretty enough—it's just that most men simply don't understand her beauty.

If you had to pick a female celebrity in the entertainment industry that men genuinely like—Dilraba probably wouldn't even make the top 20!

Lu Han's fans were dissatisfied.

But netizens who were just watching the drama were very happy.

Dilraba's Weibo post showing off her love garnered over 10,000 comments and over 50,000 reposts within three minutes of being published.

The hashtag "[Lu Di Couple]" instantly climbed into the top 3 of the trending search list.

The couple's fans flooded the screen with comments.

"It's finally been made public!"

"It's true!"

"My favorite couple has become a reality!"

"Please, the two of you, get married right now!"

These fans of the couple were all attracted by the reality show and had no idea that the two were already at odds.

Lu Han already hated Dilraba to death.

Lu Han has already refuted the rumors five times on Weibo and sent lawyer's letters to some marketing accounts that were stirring up trouble.

However, those CP fans don't care about this at all.

They only consume what they love, completely blocking out all other information—the power of information cocoons is now undeniable in this era.

Of course, it's also possible that someone is deliberately stirring up trouble.

Lu Han swears to God that he couldn't have started this whole thing. Isn't it great for a top male celebrity like him to stay single and earn 200 million yuan a year?

Why is he promoting any kind of couple?

There's nothing wrong with his head.

Therefore, there is only one truth.

All the rhythm was set by Dilraba!

It's a very simple principle.

The "Running Man" production team has the incentive to edit clips featuring the couples, as it can indeed boost ratings, but they have absolutely no incentive to stir up trouble on Weibo.

Before long, Lu Han's die-hard fans finally realized what was happening and collectively stormed Dilraba's Weibo, mocking her as...

"Self-directed and self-acted to create a CP (couple pairing)."

The hashtag 【Dilraba Dilmurat is offering herself to someone】 instantly rose to the top of Weibo.

The comment section was flooded with all sorts of vulgar language.

Personal attacks, slut-shaming, and unscrupulous attempts to gain popularity—Dilraba Dilmurat has encountered unprecedented cyberbullying.

Of course, Dilraba's fans are not to be trifled with either.

They chose to join the battle immediately.

The two sides launched a massive online feud, turning Weibo's public forum into a veritable "land war!"

From "Land Couple" to "Land War" in just one night.

Immediately afterwards, countless marketing accounts joined in.

The press release was all over the internet.

The titles are uniformly: [Dilraba publicly expresses her love for Lu Han], [The Lu-Di couple becomes a reality]!

The overwhelming amount of marketing press releases could not possibly have been issued by Lu Han himself.

It's also impossible that these marketing accounts organized it spontaneously.

There's only one possibility: it was released by Dilraba's company.

When the controversy had died down, Lu Han's manager, Yang Tianzhen, was furious and even called the fan leader, Meng Qiu.

Sister Mengqiu's financial power is still enough to cover things up.

About 10 minutes later, Jaywalk Studio finally issued a statement claiming that Dilraba's Weibo account had been hacked!

This kind of idiotic statement would make even a dog on the street bark in protest; it's like they're treating themselves like pigs.

Followed by.

Lu Han really didn't want to create any more hype, plus Guan Xiaotong kept calling him, demanding an explanation.

So, Lu Han got so annoyed that he made an official announcement online.

He ruined himself.

-

at this point.

Agent Yang Tianzhen knew that Lu Han's career was likely over, but she hated Dilraba to the core and would never let her leave so easily.

So, that very evening, shortly after Lu Han made his official announcement, marketing accounts across the internet started using the same headline, accusing Dilraba of being a clingy womanizer.

[Dilraba is about to go to Europe to express her love for Lu Yunzhou!]

[Lu Yunzhou, Dilraba's next publicity stunt!]

[Dilraba Dilmurat sets her sights on the heiress of the LB Group!]

[A warning from Lu Han: "Brother Zhou, be careful, I've already knelt down!"]

The entire internet is playing with the Dilraba Dilmurat CP (couple pairing) meme.

She has now become a scheming woman that everyone hates.

Yang Tianzhen is ruthless; since Lu Han is ruined anyway, she's determined not to let Dilraba enjoy the glory all to herself.

"Dilraba, this is a lesson for you. What goes around comes around. You made your fortune by creating on-screen couples, but you'll never find true love in this lifetime."

No man likes a woman with a heart of stone!

"You've developed a psychological shadow, and from now on you'll worry that every person of the opposite sex who comes into contact with you is trying to create a romantic pairing with you or ride on your popularity?"

"You're finished."

"When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. You will find no more true hearts."

"I wish you well, Dilraba, because you will be trapped in a prisoner's dilemma for all eternity, and your heart will never have a moment of peace."

Seeing that, thanks to his efforts, the press releases claiming that Dilraba and Lu Yunzhou were going to Europe to create a CP (couple pairing) were all over the internet—even though it was already past 4 a.m., the Weibo square was still in an uproar.

Lu Han and Lu Yunzhou's fans joined forces and verbally abused Dilraba's fans until they couldn't even show their faces.

Many people cannot stand this situation.

Those young fans suddenly realized that their idol was such a scheming woman, and overnight, they all unfollowed her.

After all, most people have relatively normal values.

They also dislike the idea that the "independent women" they portray themselves are those who rose to fame by riding on the coattails of male celebrities—of course, some "leading ladies" believe that Dilraba's ability to rise to fame by creating on-screen couples is her own skill.

Regardless, the noise on Weibo's main page lasted all night long.

Unfortunately, Dilraba's fans couldn't fight off a large number of opponents.

Moreover, Lu Han's fans are now furious to the extreme—although they have unfollowed Lu Han, they have no intention of letting go of Dilraba, this "cancer"!

"Dilraba, you ruined Lu Han's career, but you also limited your own potential. Was it worth it?"

"If you had developed quietly, you could have become a top-tier artist with both virtue and talent, a queen-like figure in super fashion blockbusters, within five years at most."

"If you're lucky, you might be spotted by a great director. You could even become the next Gong Li. Years later, you could even call yourself a veteran artist."

"Unfortunately, you chose to take the shortcut."

"Once you take a shortcut, there is no future. This moment is the peak of your life."

A cold laugh couldn't help but escape Yang Tianzhen's lips.

-

Lu Han is finished.

She knew perfectly well what was going on.

But she won't let Dilraba off the hook.

At this moment, the statement issued by Jaywalk Studio became the trigger—Dilraba's Weibo account was hacked, and she is currently in Europe filming GG.

And now, who's in Europe?

Lu Yunzhou is currently filming his super fantasy blockbuster in Europe!

This film, with a production cost of 1.5 million US dollars, is comparable to Zhang Yimou's "The Great Wall" and can compete for the record of the most expensive film to produce in Chinese film history!

If Dilraba ruins this movie—those investors, especially the Germans, would be furious with her!

At that point, even Özil's fans will have to switch sides!

[Zhouhuang Restaurant Shanghai Group No. 1]

It's already past noon.

It has been a day and a night since Lu Han made his official announcement yesterday, but many people are not on Weibo every day, so they are basically eating outdated gossip.

After the public outcry subsided, today is the real day to see the excitement.

In Lu Yunzhou's fan group, the density of messages today was comparable to a zombie apocalypse, with hundreds of messages appearing in just one minute.

There are too many to look at.

Everyone was incredibly excited.

"Everyone, please stop arguing. The most important thing right now is to remind Zhouzhou not to let that scheming woman, Dilraba, take advantage of her."

Some people are very worried that Dilraba will ruin Lu Yunzhou just like she ruined Lu Han.

"What are you afraid of?"

"Our Zhouzhou has always kept his distance from people at Jaywalk Studio. How many times have Yang Mi and Dilraba clung to him at various fashion galas? Have you ever seen Zhouzhou give them a friendly look?"

"I used to hear some negative comments, and I even thought that Zhouzhou was a bit cold-hearted and arrogant. After all, we all work in the same industry and we see each other all the time. Now I realize that Yang Mi and Dilraba are just toxic."

"I wish I could buy Zhouzhou a Celestial Dragon-like headgear so he could wear it when he goes out, so he wouldn't talk to strange women, or even breathe with them! To prevent them from getting all over him again!"

Insulting Dilraba has become politically correct in the group chat.

Whoever criticizes the best will receive the loudest applause.

"Regardless, I still need to remind Zhouzhou!"

"I wonder if Chuanmei has finished class yet? She has Zhouzhou's WeChat ID—let her send Zhouzhou a private message."

Wang Ran had already finished class and was having lunch in the school cafeteria while enjoying the various chat logs in the group chat.

The feeling of secretly being the sister-in-law is truly wonderful.

She was ready, waiting for the next moment when a cutie from a group chat would call her.

Then, she could calmly say, "Okay, I'll send my brother a message later to remind him to be careful. Boys need to take care of themselves when they're out alone!"

Immediately afterwards, the people in the group would start frantically flattering her, saying things like "Empress Wang has ascended the throne," "We still need Chuanmei at this critical moment," and "When will Chuanmei become the eldest sister-in-law?"

To everyone's surprise, Wang Ran waited for a while, but no one came to summon her.

At that moment, someone with a conspicuous bag said, "Where's Xiaotian? Is she still sleeping? She's right next to Zhouzhou, acting as her bodyguard!"

"If we remind Xiaotian, Zhouzhou will definitely know."

"Besides, Xiao Tian has been doing squats at the gym every day lately. I want to see a GIF of Dilraba running over to greet Zhou Zhou in a cutesy way, only to be back-thrown over by Xiao Tian and end up lying on the ground crying!"

Upon hearing this, the group members began frantically calling for Tian Xiwei.

"Little Tian—Empress Tian—Tian Dali—it's already 12 o'clock! Are you still sleeping? You're so young, what are you sleeping for? Get up and get to work!"

Some people couldn't stand it and whispered a reminder: "Sister, just a heads up, Xiaotian is in Italy, it's probably only a little past 5 a.m., maybe it's still dark. Even though Xiaotian is as tough as an animal, she still needs to sleep."

"I misunderstood Oda."

The man admitted his mistake and tried to correct it, but not by much: "In that case, I'll call her on QQ and tell her to get up right now!"

"Sleep? Get up and practice! Three days without practice, and you'll have nothing to show for it in your old age! She's already at a disadvantage in terms of size; if her sneak attack fails and she gets overwhelmed by Dilraba, she'll become an international laughingstock!"

Upon hearing this, the group members all left the group and started sending private messages and making QQ calls to Tian Xiwei!

"Stop hitting him! Stop hitting him!"

"Please, please stop calling me on QQ."

"I'm already up!"

"That Dilraba, not content with mooching off Lu Han, she even comes to Europe to steal my porridge — watch me, Xiao Tian, ​​unleash my Pegasus Meteor Fist and turn her into a whiny monster."

Not long ago, Tian Xiwei was fast asleep, hugging her blanket, when she had a dream—she didn't know if it was a nightmare or a pleasant dream, but she enjoyed it nonetheless.

In her dream, she became a refugee fleeing famine in ancient times. She arrived at the gate of the imperial city and saw a handsome prince distributing porridge to relieve the disaster victims.

That prince is so handsome, he looks exactly like Lu Yunzhou.

In her dream, Tian Xiwei wiped her face with saliva for a long time, then took a broken bowl and went over to Lu Yunzhou to ask for a bowl of porridge.

As a result, just as she walked to Lu Yunzhou's side, she suddenly suffered from hypoglycemia and involuntarily fell into Lu Yunzhou's arms.

Just when Tian Xiwei felt that the scene was incredibly sweet, the atmosphere in the dream suddenly changed drastically.

A vague voice came from somewhere, saying that Prince Lu Yunzhou had privately provided disaster relief and won over the people's hearts, and that he had treasonous intentions and should be executed!

Immediately afterwards, more than 100 armed guards rushed out from behind the imperial city.

Each guard had a stern face like Dilraba Dilmurat's—it scared her so much that her low blood sugar disappeared. She pulled out two butcher knives from her bosom, grabbed Lu Yunzhou, and ran.

"Dreams are the opposite."

"I, Xiao Tian, ​​am destined to become Zhou Zhou's bodyguard and kill Dilireba!"

Tian Xiwei got up quickly, full of energy.

The main storyline of the movie has been almost finished filming. There are still some reshoots to be done, which will probably take a few days.

Just when Tian Xiwei was feeling utterly bored, fate unexpectedly assigned her such an important task.

"Hey, where's Cunzi?"

After Tian Xiwei got up, she glanced at her roommate Liu Haocun's bed, which was already empty.

"It seems Cunzi must have had insomnia last night."

"Being the leading lady is so stressful!"

"Cunzi, since you can't handle it—next time, why don't you let me do it?"

After Liu Haocun finishes filming this movie, he still has to go back to Yanjing to study, so he can't stay with Lu Yunzhou every day.

Tian Xiwei thought that since she was studying at the Shanghai Theatre Academy and would become Wang Ran's senior in the future, she could hang around Lu Yunzhou every day.

Being near the water gives you an advantage.

As long as she can keep Lu Yunzhou happy, she will definitely be able to become Lu Yunzhou's leading lady in the future.

After all, Wang Churan is single-mindedly focused on becoming the eldest sister-in-law. Being the eldest sister-in-law is so busy, how could she have time to compete with her for the leading role?

During filming at the Vai'ang Dam, Lu Yunzhou's entire team stayed in a newly built town nearby.

This is because the dam had previously experienced a horrific flood leak, which killed more than 2000 people overnight.

Years later, although the village was rebuilt, no one would ever live below the dam again.

The locals built a new town further north, at a higher elevation.

However, this place is located in a protected area, and it is originally a desolate wilderness, which cannot be compared with a metropolis like Milan.

This is a very ordinary small town with fewer than 500 residents.

It could even be described as desolate.

Italy is becoming increasingly depopulated due to its aging population and the exodus of young people who are leaving to work in Germany and France.

The arrival of Lu Yunzhou's filming team brought tremendous vitality to the town.

Italy is a Catholic country, and its urban development, starting in the 15th century, was centered around a central church.

For them, the church is more than just a symbol of faith.

It is also a social venue.

The more rural the Italians live in, the more inseparable they are from churches.

After Tian Xiwei came out of the room, she looked at the sky. This morning, the sun was shining brightly, and being in the Alps, the weather was not hot at all, but very cool.

She felt today was a good day.

If the ending of the movie were filmed today, it would definitely go very smoothly, and their movie would certainly be a huge success.

She liked seeing the smile on Lu Yunzhou's face.

Because Lu Yunzhou has a particularly handsome and charming smile.

"What's going on? It's not Sunday, why are there so many people at the church? Has something happened?"

Tian Xiwei saw pedestrians on the road rushing towards the church, their faces showing excitement, clearly going to see what was going on.

She was a little curious.

On the way, she ran into Huang Yida and couldn't help but catch up with him: "Uncle Da, what happened? Why is everyone running towards the church?"

Humans have a natural inclination to enjoy watching exciting events.

Tian Xiwei was no exception.

Right now, she's going to church with Huang Yida.

From afar, she saw many people standing quietly at the church entrance, not discussing anything, just watching.

"That's strange."

Tian Xiwei looked puzzled, wondering if some vampire had escaped from the deep mountains. Everyone was afraid that making even the slightest sound would attract the vampire's attention.

However, as she got closer, Tian Xiwei could faintly hear the sounds of a piano and someone singing.

The piano music was beautiful, like ripples on a clear spring.

And there was a familiar voice, faintly singing: "A few frames of the past flash by in the evening breeze, have they vanished in the rush of time?"

The voice was very gentle, yet it carried a restrained emotion, lyrical and captivating.

"Isn't that my older brother's voice?"

Tian Xiwei quickly recognized that it was Lu Yunzhou's voice.

Immediately afterwards, Tian Xiwei faintly heard a clear female voice singing: "Gray leaves drift on the pond, watch the plane roar away to a distant land—"

Isn't that Liu Haocun's voice?

Why is that brat singing in church so early in the morning instead of sleeping?

Finished!

These two have gotten together behind my back!

"Xiao Cun, leave some space. Don't let your voice come out completely; hold it back, keep half of it in your chest, like the lingering feeling after hearing a story, leaving only a sigh."

"Feel that emotion, let it slowly rise from the bottom of your heart, restrained yet lingering."

Take a deep breath—and exhale slowly—

"Yes! You did a great job."

"Next, let's try the English version!"

There was a piano in the church, an old piano, but it was tuned very well; you could tell the local pastor had excellent maintenance skills.

Lu Yunzhou gently pressed the piano keys, and one could feel the clear and bright sound of the piano, but the sound was not sharp and had a lingering resonance.

When the piano keys resonate, the tone is very deep, as if trembling in one's heart.

This is a very good piano.

Although the price is not high, the quality is very good.

"When billions of souls walk the globe."

"Finding you is my only hope."

I thought I'd hold your hands forever.

"But you let go and leave me alone."

"Dance in the moonlight, lie beneath the stars"

"This world has billions of people"

"Yet I don't hear a sound."

Lu Yunzhou felt that the song "There Are So Many People in This World" was very suitable as the end credits song for the movie "The Abyss".

Especially the final scene, "A Midsummer Evening," which was conceived and created artistically.

He felt it wasn't good enough as an Easter egg.

-

-

-

He decided to prolong this scene, turning it into a flashback.

Combined with the various beautiful moments between the two in the past, Liu Haocun sang "There Are So Many People in This World".

This will definitely allow Liu Haocun to soar to new heights!

It can also increase the sadness of the movie a lot - a movie that leaves a lasting impression is more likely to evoke the emotions in the audience than a super exciting movie.

It will bring a large number of tourists to the cultural and tourism industries of Germany and Italy.

Lu Yunzhou makes movies not solely for box office success, but more for the benefit of the production company. After all, even with high box office returns, he doesn't earn much money.

He needs to make the film a true classic, so that audiences will watch it again and again, which will bring a huge long-tail effect to all partners.

pity.

Liu Haocun sang the Chinese version of the song quite well.

The English lyrics actually fit the movie's plot better—but Liu Haocun is clearly not a professional singer.

Singing the English version was too difficult for Liu Haocun.

"It's okay, Xiaocun."

"It's okay if you don't sing the English version well; we just need to find the feeling."

"Music and emotions resonate more easily than visuals."

"This morning, we immersed ourselves in the ocean of music—we'll film the ending when the sun goes down in the evening."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yunzhou gently began to play the piano again.

The morning sunlight streamed through the stained glass windows of the church, casting a dappled band of light on the piano frame.

Within that ray of sunlight, tiny specks of dust trembled slightly.

It was as if a tiny heart was trembling along with it.

Tian Xiwei stood in the crowd, watching Lu Yunzhou gracefully play the old piano in the corner of the church.

In the early morning in this remote Italian town, everything was so quiet.

The only sounds were the piano music from inside the church and Liu Haocun's clear yet childlike voice, as he stumbled along with Lu Yunzhou in a chorus.

Although Liu Haocun's singing wasn't particularly standard, at that moment, everyone watching, including Tian Xiwei, couldn't help but fall silent.

They watched Lu Yunzhou and Liu Haocun quietly inside the church.

Tian Xiwei clung to the church doorway, her fingers gently tapping on the paint that had chipped off halfway.

"Sizzle~~"

The sound was barely audible, and Tian Xiwei immediately and carefully withdrew her strength, not daring to let her nails scratch the paint.

They were afraid of disturbing Lu Yunzhou's piano playing inside.

Sunlight shone on Lu Yunzhou, who was wearing only a black T-shirt, with an LDC gold necklace swaying gently on his chest like a small boat.

It also stirred Tian Xiwei's heart.

Just then, Lu Yunzhou turned his head, met Tian Xiwei's gaze, and gave her a simple smile.

In that one second of eye contact, Tian Xiwei felt as if her heart had been grabbed and suddenly stopped beating, as if it had been suffocated.

When Lu Yunzhou turned her head away, her heart seemed to come back to life, beating wildly, and she couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

However, Tian Xiwei soon became somewhat resentful.

Because she noticed that when Lu Yunzhou turned his head, he only glanced at her; his real target was Liu Haocun.

At this moment, Lu Yunzhou only had eyes for the female lead, Liu Haocun.

He nodded slightly to Liu Haocun, his face full of encouragement: "Get your spirits up—okay, 31—"

""

"—A few old faces floated by amidst the laughter, remaining in the field of dreams forever."

Liu Haocun's voice was clean and clear, just like the piano in front of him, which sat in a remote mountain town and had not been played for many years.

Her voice had an ethereal quality, a sense of loneliness, a touch of sadness, and a longing for the future.

It sounds great.

At this moment, Tian Xiwei could not see Liu Haocun's expression.

However, she stared at Lu Yunzhou with incredible boldness. The sunlight shone on Lu Yunzhou, making him look so gentle, focused, and single-minded.

It's ridiculous.

The fans in the group were worried that Dilraba would try to ride on Lu Yunzhou's popularity.

Tian Xiwei suddenly wondered what the hustle and bustle of the entertainment industry had to do with her [Cremio].

Lu Yunzhou only needs to play his piano.

"Stay in the dream field, forever."

These lyrics are so beautiful. My older brother is truly talented.

However, at this moment, the smile on Tian Xiwei's face suddenly froze.

Because she suddenly realized that the movie was about to finish filming, and it was time for them to leave.

The music ended and the audience dispersed.

Their final fate was reduced to a few old photos.

At this moment, Tian Xiwei finally realized why the light from "Caravaggio" that Lu Yunzhou had told them about last night had pierced through fate.

At that moment, Tian Xiwei looked up.

A beam of light fell through the stained-glass window of the church and shone on Lu Yunzhou's piano. As the keys vibrated, the light also danced gently on Lu Yunzhou's body.

Around his neck, he always wore an LDC gold necklace, which swayed back and forth as he played the piano keys, undulating like a dance. The light reflected from the gold necklace was like a sky full of stars, making Tian Xiwei feel intoxicated.

She could no longer tell what day it was.

She also forgot that this was Italy, thousands of miles away from her hometown.

At that moment, she suddenly remembered that she had read a novel when she was a child, Shen Congwen's "Border Town".

She never understood what was so appealing about that novel.

Until this moment, she suddenly had a little understanding.

However, just like before, she still couldn't immerse herself in the gentle and lovely "Cui Cui" from the novel.

She can more easily empathize with the protagonist.

At that moment, she felt like the protagonist, returning from the outside world after many years and encountering "Cui Cui" once again.

"Cui Cui" is still so young and beautiful, a lovely and fresh-faced girl.

However, the protagonist was clearly mistaken.

Because the real "Cui Cui" is dead.

The protagonist returns from outside and the person he sees again is "Cui Cui's" daughter.

However, the two looked so alike that they gave the protagonist the same feeling, and made him feel lost in the same way.

Tian Xiwei couldn't help but think about the contents of the novel "Border Town," her thoughts drifting off to who-knows-where—

If Lu Yunzhou and Wang Ran have a son, and she sees the child again 20 years later, will she suddenly be stunned for a moment?

Definitely!

"Border Town" is absolutely amazing!

It truly deserves to be called a masterpiece.

At that moment, Tian Xiwei suddenly understood the novel and the protagonist's feeling of bewilderment and melancholy.

That feeling of things changing and people being no longer the same.

That kind of sorrow that unexpectedly welled up in my heart.

[This person may never come back, or he may come back tomorrow] — This lingering feeling of "just as the frown fades, it rises again in her heart" filled her with an indescribable sadness.

Even though Lu Yunzhou was right in front of her, Tian Xiwei felt that he was very far away from her.

"There is someone in this world who lived through my vibrant youth —"

"The long kiss, soaked in tears, often makes me think of it in a daze—"

The song was gradually coming to an end.

Lu Yunzhou's fingers, as he played the piano, became increasingly gentle, especially when he hummed the last two lines of lyrics; it was as if his whole being was glowing.

Tian Xiwei stood outside the church and listened to the entire song.

As the last note faded, the echo seemed to linger in the church.

Outside the church, many people remained silent for a long time.

When Lu Yunzhou stood up from beside the piano.

The people outside the church seemed to have suddenly come to life, and they began to applaud, their faces showing genuine sincerity.

A smile.

Music knows no borders.

Although they couldn't understand Chinese songs, Lu Yunzhou also made an English version, which many people understood.

A really great song.

At this moment, applause gradually rose, and everyone looked at Lu Yunzhou sincerely, giving him a thumbs up and expressing their endless praise.

Thank you everyone.

Lu Yunzhou smiled and greeted the townspeople with a "Good morning."

Then, he gently patted Liu Haocun on the shoulder and said a few words: "The English version, I feel, is a bit too difficult for you. How about this, I'll find a more professional singer."

"Stefanie Sun, what do you think? Stefanie Sun is Uncle Da's senior in the same school, so there shouldn't be any problem."

"Then, you sing the Chinese version."

"After the movie is released, you'll have a theme song. If there's a chance, you might even be able to sing a duet with Stefanie Sun. That would be a legendary moment."

Ah!

What else could Liu Haocun say?

At this moment, Liu Haocun didn't even dare to look up at Lu Yunzhou—because she was afraid that if she did, Lu Yunzhou would see the glittering light in her eyes.

A scene as if in a dream.

She had never even dreamed of such an elegant scene.

A young man meticulously cleaned an old piano in a dilapidated church in a remote suburb of Italy.

Then, on this morning, she inexplicably got up early to exercise and heard the sound of a piano coming from the church, so she came over to take a look out of curiosity.

She was completely captivated at first sight.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yunzhou invited her to audition for the ending theme song.

Liu Haocun couldn't remember what happened next—because her soul seemed to have been stolen away, and all she could think about was Lu Yunzhou playing the piano.

"After lunch, let's try to get into the groove again."

"I hope we can get it done in one take when we film in the evening! I don't want to be pushed into the water again and again."

Lu Yunzhou made a joke.

This ending is the ultimate test of Liu Haocun's acting skills.

Well done! A single shot is divine!

However, Liu Haocun was also under a lot of pressure—as the director, Lu Yunzhou helped Liu Haocun find that feeling in every way.

"Big brother, if I don't do a good job, slap me. I can definitely portray that feeling of utter heartbreak perfectly."

Liu Haocun went all out to film this scene well.

Upon hearing this suggestion, Lu Yunzhou smiled but did not reply.

How could such dirty work possibly require the intervention of a big-name director like him? What does an assistant director on set do? Isn't that what they do?

"Get ready."

Lu Yunzhou gently touched Liu Haocun's hair, turned his head and smiled.

"Xiaotian, you're up so early today too? Let's go have breakfast together."

Lu Yunzhou walked out of the church and saw Tian Xiwei standing there like a fool, so he patted her on the shoulder.

Tian Xiwei seemed to wake from a dream, but she didn't immediately follow.

She followed behind Lu Yunzhou like a little tail.

As she watched Lu Yunzhou's retreating figure, the lyrics of the song he had just sung kept replaying in her mind: "There is someone in this world who lives in my vibrant youth."

The more I thought about it, the more desperate I became.

Tian Xiwei sighed sadly, "I'm only 19 years old this year, how could I have encountered such a calamity? My mother never told me how to deal with this kind of calamity."

"I can't just throw one punch and expect a hundred more, can I?"

In the group chat, they were vying to be Empress Tian and bickering with Wang Cheran. Actually, part of it was Tian Xiwei joking around.

True affection is not so easy to express.

Only those half-hearted likings can be casually joked about.

"Xiaotian, what's wrong with you today? You're not even enthusiastic when I ask you to go out for a big meal?"

Seeing that Tian Xiwei hadn't followed, Lu Yunzhou stopped curiously and looked back: "Are you tired of Italian food?"

Where?

Tian Xiwei raised her head and forced a smile, but immediately lowered her head again, not daring to make eye contact with Lu Yunzhou.

It’s over.

Spring has only just passed, but in my heart, fruit has already ripened!

"If my first child is a daughter, her nickname will be Zhaodi. Her formal name will be Lu Zhitian."

It was already evening, and many of the fans had already eaten dinner.

However, they had not received Tian Xiwei's battle report for a long time—in the past, this would have been the time when Tian Xiwei was most active.

But today, Tian Xiwei didn't post anything?

"It's over!"

"General Tian has been killed in action!"

"Zhang Reba, Cao Yangmi's top general, slew General Tian in the Alps. Now we have no generals to use—where is Zhao Liying of Changshan?"

"Reporting to the Lord, Zhao Liying of Changshan has not yet joined our camp."

"My lord, I have a plan. How about we invite Liu Huangyi to come and lend a hand? I heard that Liu Yifei and Yang Mi are about to engage in the Battle of Xuzhou, just like in 'Eternal Love'?"

"How can I, the Emperor of Congee, face my people in Jiangdong if I have to rely on outsiders?"

"I have a general, Zhuge Chuan of Langya, skilled in archery and horsemanship, with boundless strength. Reba, that brat, is nothing to worry about—is Chuanmei here?"

"Boat girl, boat girl————"

In the end, I still had to step in?

Seeing the group chat frantically calling for him, Wang Ran felt a surge of joy.

She slowly wiped her mouth, then stepped forward with a smile, pretending not to understand what was going on, and asked, "What's up? I'm studying at home."

Wang Churan will be taking the college entrance examination next month.

Although even a score of 200 would guarantee admission to the Shanghai Theatre Academy, Wang Ran didn't want to be laughed at, so she still had to strive for a score of over 400.

"Boat Girl, Xiaotian has disappeared. We haven't seen her all day. Could you call her and ask what she's doing?"

The girls in the group all miss her so much.

Tian Xiwei is the life of the party in the group.

Even though she's about to become a big star, she can still let go of her airs and joke around with her friends in the group.

Everyone missed Tian Xiwei after not seeing her for a whole day.

"Okay, I'll call her."

Wang Churan wondered what could possibly be wrong with Tian Xiwei. She was probably enjoying a lavish meal somewhere, secretly indulging in some luxury.

Just as Wang Ran was about to make the call, Tian Xiwei popped up in the group chat: "Hello everyone, I'm newbie Tian Xiwei, please take care of me."

Upon hearing this, the group chat erupted in a lively discussion.

"Everyone come quick! Oda has been possessed!"

"Dilraba, are you really that fierce? You scared my General Fang Tian so much that his soul left his body and he was possessed by a villain?"

""

"What kind of demon are you? Show yourself at once! Give Xiaotian back to us!"

Although it was all in the group chat and people were joking, they could tell that Tian Xiwei was acting strangely today, like she was possessed by a ghost and wasn't as boisterous as she used to be.

It seems like I've grown up overnight.

In the past, if the group members teased Tian Xiwei a few times, she would immediately engage in a verbal battle with them, causing everyone to flee in embarrassment.

General Tian earned his reputation through such battles.

But today, Tian Xiwei greeted everyone in a very serious manner and even did official publicity in a very earnest way.

"This afternoon, we filmed the movie's finale."

"This photo was taken next to the Vaião Dam. If any of you know about this dam, you can look up its history."

"Although Zhouzhou didn't explicitly say it—because the local people might protest—I feel that he probably wanted the protagonist to come to Earth from a mysterious world because he lost his beloved in that flood accident."

"And at the end, the male protagonist falls into the abyss, which is somewhat like his final destination."

"He likes this structural symmetry, he likes this fatal cycle."

"All in all, this is definitely a good movie."

"Please look forward to it, it should be released during the National Day holiday."

Tian Xiwei shared some of the film's concepts, the difficulties encountered during filming, and the numerous behind-the-scenes works that Lu Yunzhou did for the film with her fans in the group.

These fans are all very wealthy.

After all, this is the core group.

They were just nobody in the core group, but in the outer groups, they were big shots who could get information about Lu Yunzhou up close.

"Xiaotian, you're acting strange today. Did something happen? Did you get beaten up in Italy?"

"Empress Tian? Empress Tian, ​​do you dare answer me?"

"I called you Empress Tian, ​​and you didn't react? That's not right. You didn't even respond?"

When Tian Xiwei stopped vying for the title of "Queen" in the group chat, the fun in the whole group was instantly halved.

Even Wang Ran sensed something was wrong and secretly messaged Tian Xiwei privately: "Xiao Tian, ​​what's wrong? Are you on your period? Why are you so down?"

Tian Xiwei thought for a moment, then deliberately teased Wang Cheran: "I haven't had my period. I didn't get it last month either. I might be pregnant. Just once. I didn't expect it to be so accurate. Boat Girl, I'm sorry. I didn't want to tell you. But it's come to this, and I can't hide it anymore."

Upon hearing this, Wang Churan felt as if the sky had fallen, and kept pressing Tian Xiwei for answers: "Tian Dali, explain yourself clearly! What exactly do you mean? What do you mean by 'just once'? What do you mean by 'didn't expect it'? What do you mean by 'so accurate'? Why are you apologizing to me? Explain yourself clearly!"

Seeing that Tian Xiwei remained silent, Wang Ran exploded: "Tian Xiwei, you just wait! I'm buying a plane ticket to Italy right now, and if I don't kill you before sunset tomorrow, I'll change my surname to yours!"

While cursing loudly, Wang Churan didn't even want to take the college entrance exam anymore. He was already packing his things in the dormitory, preparing to rush to Italy that night and die together with Tian Xiwei.

In the final moments, to avoid a tragic death at Wang Cheran's hands, Tian Xiwei could only tell the truth: "Just kidding. Seeing you so vulnerable makes me feel a lot better."

That's right.

This is the normal Tian Xiwei.

Seeing Tian Xiwei deliberately arguing with him, Wang Ran breathed a sigh of relief and complained irritably, "You're so boring. Don't make jokes like that again. You know I'll actually believe you."

While the two were chatting privately, the group chat exploded.

Within minutes, the message reached "999+", and the group members began to clamor for Wang Ran and Tian Xiwei to come out and see what was going on.

"Boat girl, come out and see God!"

"Xiaotian, no wonder you've been keeping quiet. You've got something good, and you're just keeping it to yourself instead of sharing it with the other girls in the group."

"Xiaotian, your sisters all supported you to become Empress, but after you entered the palace, you've been enjoying yourself every day. What happened to your promise? We agreed that you would be Empress and your sisters would be Imperial Concubines, but you've been hogging all the spoils all by yourself?"

The group started relentlessly criticizing Tian Xiwei.

Wang Ran looked completely confused, having no idea what the group members were talking about.

It wasn't until a kind-hearted group member stepped forward and posted the short video that had been buried in a flood of messages just minutes earlier.

Wang Churan then suddenly realized what was going on.

This short video was reposted from an overseas video website by a netizen studying abroad.

It turns out that this morning, Lu Yunzhou played a piano piece and sang a Chinese song in a small town near the Wahion Dam in Italy.

This process was recorded by a local resident and posted directly on their social media account.

Before long, Italian netizens recognized Lu Yunzhou.

-

Then it was reposted in various places.

In just two hours, the video went viral, gaining massive popularity on international social media platforms.

"Cremio!"

"My goodness, the way he plays the piano is just as handsome as when he's painting!"

"I don't know what bards in fantasy stories look like—if they exist, they should look like him."

In the video.

In an old church, Lu Yunzhou sat at the piano.

A young girl stands in her proper place in the choir.

In the video, Lu Yunzhou gently plays the piano, sunlight streaming through the stained-glass windows of the church, falling on the piano and on Liu Haocun's handsome face.

As Lu Yunzhou played the piano, he turned around and sang a duet with Liu Haocun, leading Liu Haocun in the rhythm.

Liu Haocun was a little hesitant at first, but gradually found his rhythm, and his dark, bright eyes sparkled with emotion.

A radiant light, like that of an angel.

Her gentle smile, her hair almost transparent in the sunlight, and the fine beads of sweat on her forehead all exuded youthful energy.

"A few frames from the past flash by in the evening breeze, have they vanished in the rush of time?"

Although the song is gentle and very restrained, the lyrics are full of imagery and longing for past memories.

Liu Haocun's clear singing voice blended with Lu Yunzhou's gentle piano playing, creating a double dose of sweetness.

of course.

It was a critical hit, but it wasn't necessarily sweet.

At least, Wang Churan didn't feel any sweetness at all.

Her anger surged.

Especially in the final scene, the moment Liu Haocun and Lu Yunzhou locked eyes, the love in her eyes almost melted into tears.

Seeing this, Wang Ran unconsciously tightened his grip on the pen.

"Snap!"

The power of Chi You within him erupted directly, and Wang Ran forcefully snapped the pencil in two.

She typed furiously, sending a private message to Tian Xiwei: "Xiao Tian, ​​do me a favor. Find a dark and stormy night and bury Liu Hao!"

"Take this seriously!"

Wang Ran was extremely jealous.

However, Tian Xiwei had calmed down. Because she had already passed that stage.

The netizens in the group went completely crazy!

"Aaaaaah!"

"My porridge, my porridge—I will never allow anyone to touch my porridge!"

"This porridge smells so good. I can smell it even through the screen."

"My God, what am I seeing? This porridge is practically glowing! This is communion!"

A few months ago, Lu Yunzhou showed the world his superb painting skills, which were comparable to those of Leonardo da Vinci. A few months later, on this early summer morning, he showed his old skills again.

Lu Yunzhou's piano playing style was as elegant as Bach's.

Many people don't know what Bach looked like, nor how elegant he was—but in the hearts of Lu Yunzhou's little fans, Bach should look just like Lu Yunzhou.

Always dressed in black, impeccably dressed.

The way he plays the piano isn't as aloof as usual, because the sunlight shining on him makes him look warm.

It softened his resolute face.

The wind rustled the curtains, like drifting white clouds, lingering in this warmth.

How wonderful it would be if only Lu Yunzhou were in the empty church—Liu Haocun shouldn't be in the choir.

She should be under the car, she should be in a coffin!

At that moment, Lu Yunzhou's little fans had only one thought: they wanted to beat Liu Haocun to death!

Then, they took their place and enjoyed the sweet moment.

on Weibo.

Lu Yunzhou himself did not post this video because he felt it was a normal thing.

Is it strange for a music student to play the piano?

Besides, this song wasn't his original work; it was copied from another timeline. If he were to show off, he'd feel a bit embarrassed.

Making movies is different.

All of his camera work is original, allowing him to openly show off and flaunt his talent to others!

However, his little fans don't see it that way.

That night, Lu Yunzhou's fans went out of their way to post videos of him playing the piano in Italy on Weibo.

They also share a unified slogan: "There's someone in this world who lives on in my vibrant youth!"

That evening, the video was widely shared on Weibo in China.

Lu Yunzhou displayed his unparalleled musical talent, handsome profile, and an aura of utmost saintliness—

sense.

Lu Yunzhou gained a million followers overnight!

Under normal circumstances, Lu Yunzhou, as a popular celebrity, has already attracted most of his fans.

The rest are people who don't follow celebrities.

Or it could be the core fanbase of other celebrities, which is difficult to shake.

However, there are still some normal people and neutral netizens on the internet.

On this day, they were not attracted by his looks, but simply by Lu Yunzhou's talent.

"He's really handsome."

"This is how I imagine my son playing the piano!"

A mother posted a picture of her 13-year-old son who already weighs 200 pounds.

However, on this joyous day, Lu Yunzhou's young fans did not mock the mother; instead, they commented, "Whose handsome little boy is this? He's so elegant!"

The mother was overjoyed and went on a mad rush to share Lu Yunzhou's Weibo posts in the parents' group.

Let me tell you, there's still an idol in the Chinese entertainment industry who doesn't rely on scandals but entirely on his talent. Come and see this handsome guy!

Kou Rui, the fourth-generation successor and chief designer of a high-end fashion house, has arrived in Shanghai and is preparing a haute couture gown for Nazha to walk the red carpet after two days of alterations.

When the new product launch comes, Nazha will make a stunning debut.

This will also make the brand 【Kou Rui】a household name in China.

These past few days, Zhang Ruonan has been accompanying Nazha every day to try on clothes, make alterations, and coordinate various makeup and styling options—and of course, various gold jewelry from LDC!

Although Nazha did not sign an endorsement deal with LDC, she has essentially become a close friend of the brand—after all, she's become the boss's best friend, so she can try on these gold jewelry pieces without any problem.

What limited edition?

That's from the perspective of outsiders.

For Zhang Ruonan, the proprietress, what style couldn't she get? If it sold out, she could just have the craftsman make one overnight.

"Nannan, I admire you so much."

After trying on the clothes, Nazha looked at herself in the mirror and saw herself looking like an elven queen. She was truly beautiful.

Even so, when she turned to look at Zhang Ruonan beside her, she still showed a look of admiration.

"What do you admire about me?"

Zhang Ruonan looked up with some confusion. She had also seen the short video of Lu Yunzhou playing the piano in Italy.

She thought Nazha had misspoke and reminded her, "You must be envious of me, right? After all, my brother is just too outstanding."

I know you all envy me.

Zhang Ruonan has already laid down.

My man is too outstanding; I simply can't control him.

She only hoped that Lu Yunzhou would inform her before finding another aunt, so she could find someone to check the other person's background and prevent any shady people from entering her home.

"No. I just admire you!"

Naza has her own logic in doing things.

Under Zhang Ruonan's extremely puzzled gaze, Nazha spoke up: "When I was little, my dad told me a little secret about how to judge a person."

"In this world, everyone is good at disguising themselves. It's very difficult for us to see through a person's character and abilities directly."

"But my dad told me that we can observe that person's friends, lovers, and enemies—these are people who are very difficult to fake."

"Like Yang Mi—I have absolutely no idea what kind of person Sister Mi is."

"However, she broke up with Liu Shishi, broke up with Tang Yan, and broke up with Liu Yifei."

"Senior Sister, she's my fellow disciple, she's a very nice person."

"Sister Tangtang is Yunzhou's fellow disciple. Yunzhou has always protected her, so she must be a very good person. Yunzhou is extremely petty; if someone isn't a good person, he won't even give them a second glance."

"I'm not very familiar with Liu Yifei, but she shouldn't be too far off."

"Yang Mi has fallen out with so many people, it can't be everyone's fault, it's probably her own problem."

"And Dilraba is the same."

"We can't really see what kind of person she is because she's so good at pretending. But she had a falling out with Lu Han, who is a good person, everyone says so."

"She and Yunzhou don't get along very well either. We all know Yunzhou's character."

"Dilraba only gets along well with Yang Mi—can she really be some innocent and kind little white rabbit?"

Unexpectedly, Nazha has her own philosophy of life.

Zhang Ruonan was somewhat surprised. Who said Nazha was a silly girl? Isn't she quite smart?

True wisdom often appears as foolishness?

Just then, Nazha took Zhang Ruonan's hand and said with a smile, "Nannan, you must be an amazing girl to have managed to handle Yunzhou!"

"Although I don't know exactly what makes you so amazing—anyway, I admire you a lot."

Hearing this, Zhang Ruonan was both amused and exasperated: "Nazha, if you used all that scheming on acting, you would have been a big star long ago."

Naza shook her head seriously: "Those directors are no good. The moment they approach me for a role, they've already decided to make a terrible film. In that case, even if I have acting skills, it won't work. So, I might as well just give up."

At this point, Nazha looked at Zhang Ruonan expectantly: "Nannan, Yunzhou is really serious about filming. He even wrote the theme song for the movie—with him taking filming so seriously, it's impossible for it to be a bad movie."

"Even if he casts me as the female lead, he'll do his best to salvage my acting!"

"Nannan, give me a chance."

Naza couldn't handle Lu Yunzhou because he was too shrewd. She had to show enough sincerity, such as becoming an action star, before he would be willing to carry her.

However, she wasn't a fool. She took a different approach, getting closer to Zhang Ruonan and becoming Zhang Ruonan's girlfriend.

Now, she has also become a global spokesperson for Korrell.

To sell clothes for his family and to save thousands of employees at the Jiangnan Leather Factory—Lu Yunzhou has to take himself with him, right?

"You've used all your cunning on this."

Zhang Ruonan glanced at Nazha with annoyance and said helplessly, "I'll talk to my brother about your situation when he gets back."

Nazha felt this wasn't secure enough, and sincerely said, "Nannan, I have some shares in Tangren Media. I'd like to exchange them for shares in [Kou Rui] with you. What do you think?"

You think beautifully!

How much are Tangren's shares worth?

Zhang Ruonan quickly calculated in her mind that Tangren was declining, while their [Kou Rui] was a brand new brand that was thriving.

Lu Yunzhou will definitely carry them to new heights.

However, Nazha's intelligence is limited to this level, so Zhang Ruonan doesn't blame her for being greedy. He said kindly, "Nazha, I appreciate your sincerity. However, Kou Rui is part of our business strategy, and we won't be exchanging her for shares at the moment."

"I see—"

Naza was a little disappointed, but she quickly put her arm around Zhang Ruonan's and said, "I heard Dilraba went to Europe to film 'GG'. How about we go together? Whatever she films, I'll film too. I'll definitely outshine her and get revenge for you."

Although Zhang Ruonan didn't say anything, she couldn't help but laugh at Nazha's little suggestion for revenge.

Clearly, Gulnazar guessed correctly; Zhang Ruonan is extremely unhappy with Dilraba!

"Thank you for your kind offer, but let's stick to the original plan." Zhang Ruonan smiled but did not agree.

She told Nazha to try on the clothes properly, as she had some things to take care of.

After Zhang Ruonan left, Nazha waved to her assistant: "Bring me the phone, I want to take another look."

The next second, Nazha showed a lovestruck expression.

"Zhouzhou is so handsome."

"He's already so handsome he seems inhuman when he's painting—but it's the way he plays the piano and sings that really captivates me!"

"I'm so envious of Nannan!"

"Although she can't openly show affection for her partner, she can secretly enjoy it all."

"I really want to have a relationship of this caliber."

Naza opened her phone and played the short clip of Lu Yunzhou playing the piano and singing on repeat.

His smile was so warm, like the early summer sun, it warmed Nazha's heart and made her feel sweet.

This song is really nice.

"A few frames from the past flash by in the evening breeze, have they vanished in the rush of time?"

Naza hummed along softly, a few memories flashing through her mind.

Suddenly, something occurred to her, and she cautiously asked her assistant, "Nannan doesn't know about what happened between Yunzhou and me in the garage, does she?"

"What garage?"

The assistant's eyes widened immediately, revealing a gossipy expression.

Naza screamed, then suddenly clutched her head and covered her mouth: "Oh my god. I suddenly remembered, you weren't here that day."

The assistant suddenly became very excited: "Sis, what day is it?"

Naza immediately covered her assistant's mouth and calmly said, "It's nothing, I misremembered. Don't ask any more questions."

Let's just pretend we've forgotten everything today.

The assistant looked at Nazha pleadingly, "Sister, please tell me, please. I swear to God, I'll keep this a secret!"

Sister Nazha, you are my goddess!

You actually got to drink porridge!

Moreover, you've managed to refrain from showing off for so long?

You've really impressed me!

"I'm not telling you."

Naza gave a light hum, and seeing her assistant worshipping her like a god, she suddenly felt very pleased.

No wonder everyone wants to be an empress.

Back when she was dating Zhang Han, no one envied her; her entire management team thought she was crazy!

This feeling is just different.
