Hot Search Alert! The Princess Goes Viral Worldwide

The warmth traveled from her lips all the way to his heart, sending shivers down his spine.

Standing so close, their breaths mingled, Zhan Lingfeng's body burned like molten lava.

"You—"

Before he could speak, a soft "Shh!" whispered against his ear, followed by an arm wrapping around his waist.

Before ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‍Zhan Lingfeng could react, Gu Nanyan pulled him and leaped out the window.

"Ah—"

They were on the third floor.

Terror gripped his chest. Just as they were about to hit the ground, Gu Nanyan's foot lightly tapped the treetop, and suddenly, they were soaring through the air.

He was flying!

Zhan Lingfeng's eyes widened in disbelief. For the first time in his life, he knew what it felt like to fly.

Gu Nanyan held him effortlessly, gliding from treetop to treetop until they landed gracefully on a small boat in the middle of the lake.

Stunned, Zhan Lingfeng remained motionless for a long moment before finally regaining his senses.

He turned to Gu Nanyan, his gaze intense, as if flames burned in the depths of his eyes, threatening to consume her.

"Nanyan—"

"Did you like it?" Gu Nanyan pulled him down to sit beside her.

The corners of Zhan Lingfeng's eyes reddened. The beast caged within his heart could no longer be restrained—it tore open its prison and roared free.

His grip on Gu Nanyan's wrist tightened as he pulled her into his arms, holding her fiercely.

"Nanyan, Nanyan, Nanyan..."

He didn’t know what else to say, only repeating her name over and over.

Zhan Lingfeng was pride incarnate. Outwardly, he was cold and composed, polite and refined in his dealings with others. But in truth, he never truly regarded anyone as worthy of his attention.

Born into unparalleled privilege, he had everything from the moment he entered the world. His intellect was terrifying, and the world lay at his feet.

Ordinary people were beneath his notice.

Even Hua Ying'an, despite their decade-long friendship, never truly earned his respect.

His arrogance was boundless, standing alone atop a cliff, gazing down at the world with icy detachment.

Had Gu Nanyan not appeared, he might have spent his entire life in solitude.

Those who possess too much too young are prone to boredom.

When nothing is out of reach, few things—or people—can capture their interest.

Fortunately, fate took pity on him and brought Gu Nanyan into his life.

They sat in silence on the boat, swaying gently with the waves, until nightfall before returning.

While Gu Nanyan enjoyed this tranquil moment, the outside world was in chaos.

After the events on the island, Gu Nanyan's fame exploded. Countless people sought to contact her, inviting her to events. Unable to reach her at The Zhan Family Courtyard, they bombarded her agency instead.

Sister Li, the once plump and cheerful agent, had lost weight from sheer exhaustion.

Her assistant, Feng Chengxi, sported dark circles under her eyes—she hadn’t slept in three days.

"Sister Li, I’m going to die if this keeps up," Feng Chengxi groaned, slumped over her desk.

Sister Li was equally overwhelmed.

She never expected Gu Nanyan to be so unshakable.

While other guests from the island had given interviews and made public appearances, Gu Nanyan remained completely silent—no responses, no sightings.

Her silence only fueled the public’s frenzy.

Fans were going wild, desperate for even a glimpse of her.

Every day, they flooded her social media with messages:

[Your Majesty Nanyan, when will you grace us with your presence?]

[Your Majesty, I miss you so much! Just a single word, please!]

[Day 10 of missing the Queen.]

[240 hours of longing for the Queen.]

[14,400 minutes without Her Majesty.]

...

Sister Li was buckling under the pressure.

Beyond the fans, industry heavyweights were also pushing for Gu Nanyan’s participation—movie scripts, TV dramas, variety shows, endorsements—all top-tier opportunities, some even beyond the reach of A-list stars.

With a sigh, Sister Li said, "I’ll try reaching out to Gu Nanyan. At the very least, I need to present these offers to her. Whether she accepts or declines is up to her."

The call went smoothly.

Gu Nanyan didn’t make things difficult. She asked Sister Li to compile the invitations and deliver them to The Zhan Family Courtyard in three days.

The news sent the industry into a frenzy.

Though Gu Nanyan hadn’t confirmed anything, everyone took it as a sign—she was finally making a move.

A flood of premium offers poured into Sister Li’s hands.

Staring at the mountain of coveted opportunities, Sister Li marveled, "This is what true fame looks like. Unprecedented, unmatched—no one has ever been this in demand."

Meanwhile, Gu Ruozhu caught wind of the developments.

It wasn’t that she was well-connected or actively seeking information—some people, misinformed and desperate, mistakenly believed she was Gu Nanyan’s sister and came to her for favors.

At first, Gu Ruozhu was thrilled by the attention, thinking she had finally made it big.

But reality quickly shattered her delusion.

"Miss Gu, please, you must get this script to Her Majesty Nanyan. She’s perfect for this role!"

"Miss Gu, we beg you—pass along our invitation. We want her as our spokesperson. She can name her terms!"

"Miss Gu—"

Ahhh!

Gu Ruozhu was seething, her face twisting with jealousy.

That worthless, idiotic Gu Nanyan—how dare she! She didn’t deserve any of this!

After her rage subsided, Gu Ruozhu quickly hatched a malicious plan.

She called a producer of a popular variety show—a talented but morally dubious man who had once pursued her.

She asked him to invite Gu Nanyan onto "Happy Plus One" and find a way to smear her reputation.

The producer laughed, hinting, "I’ll help you, but will you help me in return?"

Gu Ruozhu knew exactly what he wanted. Suppressing her disgust, she replied, "If you do this for me, I’ll be your girlfriend. Since I’m entering the entertainment industry too, having you as my guide would be... beneficial."

"Don’t worry, Ruozhu, I’ve got you covered," the producer assured her, puffing out his chest. "Our show is the hottest in the country right now. The moment we send an invite, Gu Nanyan will jump at the chance."

Truthfully, he had never extended an invitation before—his pride wouldn’t allow it.

Every major star, domestic or international, had graced his show. In his mind, if you hadn’t appeared on it, you weren’t truly famous.

If Gu Nanyan wanted to survive in the industry, she’d have no choice but to accept.
