Hot Search Alert! The Princess Goes Viral Worldwide-Chapter 132

Sister Li hurriedly rushed to the production team. She hadn’t been around lately, as she was busy negotiating collaborations elsewhere.

After Gu Nanyan's sudden rise to fame, script offers, brand invitations, and commercial endorsements poured in, leaving Sister Li overwhelmed.

Truthfully, Sister Li never expected Gu Nanyan to become this popular. Originally, Gu Nanyan was just an obscure third-tier celebrity under her management—someone nobody would have noticed if not for her lucky marriage into the wealthy Zhan family.

This time, Sister Li came not only to protect Gu Nanyan but also to bring her some scripts.

Though many scripts had been sent her way, only a few were of high quality.

After all, while Gu Nanyan was popular, her acting skills hadn’t been proven yet.

Major productions hesitated to cast her in important roles, fearing the risk.

The scripts she received were either from small-scale projects or big productions offering minor supporting roles—just to capitalize on her fame.

With any other artist, Sister Li would have already mapped out a career path, even if the artist resisted. She could always persuade them.

But with Gu Nanyan, she didn’t dare make decisions lightly. The "Smoke Empress" had to decide for herself!

Despite her years of experience in the entertainment industry and her strong personality, Sister Li felt inadequate in front of the Smoke Empress, as if her vision wasn’t broad enough and her actions lacked grandeur.

Sister Li arrived quickly and immediately instructed Feng Chengxi upon entering the set: from now on, she must stay by the Smoke Empress’s side at all times, never leaving her alone.

If Nan Xi showed up with anyone, Feng Chengxi was to notify her immediately.

After giving her orders, Sister Li prepared to meet Director Rong.

She needed to discuss cutting the live broadcast at a critical moment—they couldn’t afford to let the Smoke Empress’s reputation be ruined.

Feng Chengxi was startled by Sister Li’s urgency and asked nervously, "Who did Nan Xi bring? Is this person really that powerful?"

"Yes, extremely powerful," Sister Li replied gravely. "Have you heard of the Hidden Medicine Family?"

Feng Chengxi looked blank—she had no idea.

Sister Li explained, "I only just learned about them myself. The Hidden Medicine Family are descendants of the legendary physician Yin Jingjie, with a lineage spanning over a thousand years. They’re a renowned medical family in China, and many of the prescriptions circulating today originated from the Yin family."

"Every member of the Yin family is highly skilled in medicine and holds significant influence."

"Rumor has it that the person accompanying Nan Xi is the eldest daughter of the Hidden Medicine Family—also the next clan leader. Her medical expertise and reputation in the field are unparalleled."

"If this young lady declares that the Smoke Empress’s health exercises aren’t the legendary 'Tongtian Health Exercises,' then the backlash from netizens will be devastating. Her reputation will be ruined."

"You know how cutthroat the entertainment industry is—competitors would do anything to tear each other down for resources."

"If the Smoke Empress shows even the slightest weakness, they’ll swarm like vultures, using every means to discredit her."

"No matter how formidable the Smoke Empress is, she’s just one person. She can’t fight the entire industry alone."

Feng Chengxi grew even more fearful. "This Yin heiress is that influential?"

Sister Li nodded. "It’s worse than that. When it comes to matters related to Princess Zhenguo of Great Qi, the Yin family’s word is law. If the Yin heiress says it’s not authentic, other experts and scholars will defer to her judgment."

"Eventually, they might even issue a public statement declaring that the exercises aren’t the real Tongtian Health Exercises."

Sister Li already had a full plan in mind. "What we need to do now is stop the Yin heiress from exposing the Smoke Empress on live broadcast. As long as it doesn’t happen live, we can still salvage the situation afterward."

"We can preemptively release a statement clarifying that the exercises are just general health practices, unrelated to the Tongtian Health Exercises. Besides, the Smoke Empress’s exercises have been proven beneficial—that much is undeniable."

Of course, other preparations were necessary, but there was no time to discuss them now.

Time was tight—they had to stop the Yin heiress first.

Meanwhile, in the hotel across from the production set, Nan Xi knocked on Yin Xiangyuan’s door early in the morning. "Dr. Yin, are you awake? Rested enough? It’s time to go."

This time, Nan Xi had prepared thoroughly.

She anticipated that Director Rong would protect Gu Nanyan—after all, the Smoke Empress was now the golden goose of Going to School, the show’s lifeline. If anything happened to her, the program would suffer a fatal blow.

Nan ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‍Xi had personally sought out the Hidden Medicine Family, swallowing her pride to beg the cold and arrogant Yin Xiangyuan for help. After so much effort and sacrifice, if she couldn’t utterly destroy Gu Nanyan, she’d die of frustration.

So, Nan Xi left nothing to chance. She secretly tipped off reporters and sent word to all of Gu Nanyan’s rivals in the industry, boasting that she had a way to expose the Smoke Empress and leave her with no way out.

The news sent shockwaves through the industry.

Reporters flocked with cameras, eager for the scoop—this was headline material.

As for Gu Nanyan’s competitors, they split into factions.

The most aggressive were the actresses whose career paths overlapped with hers. In an industry with limited resources, Gu Nanyan’s success meant fewer opportunities for them.

They were desperate to see her fall.

The second most eager were those fighting her for the same roles and endorsements.

This time, many of the scripts and endorsements Sister Li had her eyes on ended up in Gu Nanyan’s hands after she suddenly rose to prominence.

The remaining faction, those who had no direct competition with Gu Nanyan, were the least active but eagerly awaited her downfall. After all, if Gu Nanyan fell, those coveted resources would be up for grabs, and they might just get a lucky break.

For a time, the entire industry got involved, waiting to enjoy the spectacle and take their chance to kick Gu Nanyan while she was down.

Entertainment reporters, paparazzi, and the more proactive ones had already sent people over. With surveillance everywhere, they camped outside the hotel, waiting for Nan Xi to appear.

Now, everything was set—all that was left was for the show to begin.

Yin Xiangyuan was already awake, studying the prescription Gu Nanyan had given her when Nan Xi knocked on the door. Irritated, she got up and snapped, "Knocking this early in the morning—what do you want?"

"Dr. Yin, aren’t we going to confront Gu Nanyan?" Nan Xi asked.

Yin Xiangyuan frowned.

Seeing this, Nan Xi’s heart leaped into her throat. What was wrong with Yin Xiangyuan? Was she backing out now?

Nan Xi pressed urgently, "Aren’t you going to expose her? She’s using the name of Princess Zhenguo of Great Qi and even capitalizing on the reputation of the Divine Wellness Technique! Are you just going to stand by while she compares herself to the Princess?"

Yin Xiangyuan was annoyed. "She never claimed to be the Princess, nor did she say she was teaching the Divine Wellness Technique. She calls it the Wellness Technique."

Nan Xi was speechless.

Damn it! Yin Xiangyuan was unreliable—was she really not planning to expose Gu Nanyan?

No, absolutely not.

Nan Xi quickly argued, "She may not have said it outright, but everyone’s calling her ‘Emperor Yan’ now, treating her as if she’s the Princess. If her Wellness Technique spreads further, her fame will only grow, and eventually, people will see her as the Princess’s reincarnation.

She might seem fine now, but who knows what she’ll do in the future? If she ever steps out of line, won’t that tarnish the Princess’s legacy?"

Seeing how fervently Nan Xi was pushing her, Yin Xiangyuan’s expression shifted slightly.

This Nan Xi harbored too much malice toward the Princess. If this scheme failed, she’d surely try again.

Might as well play along and see what she was really plotting.

With that in mind, Yin Xiangyuan nodded. "You’re right. Let’s go."

Perfect!

Nan Xi clenched her fists, barely containing her excitement.

The moment the two stepped out of the hotel, they were spotted by the waiting crowd.

The onlookers buzzed with anticipation—the show was about to begin! freewēbnoveℓ.com
