Ye Zhenzhen was born beautiful, from a happy family, and had excellent grades, only to die of cancer just after graduating from college.
She closed her eyes and opened them again, finding her...

Linzi was led back to the counter by her mother. She lowered her head, wiping away tears, a wave of fear washing over her. She hadn't managed to chase after Xing, and she'd almost hurt Zhenzhen. "What an idiot..."
"I always tell you to be careful. Luckily, this customer was good-natured and didn't hold it against you, otherwise you would have gotten a scolding." The proprietress tapped her forehead and then rubbed it tenderly. "Stop crying. Go wash your face. After you finish eating, go apologize to them, okay?"
Lin nodded silently and took out several bottles of dipping sauce and chili oil from behind the counter. They were all homemade and many regular customers liked them.
After this incident, she was too ashamed to go up and say that she was a fan of Tao Hua, as it would tarnish the reputation of her fan base.
I'd be happy just to get a photo together.

Shanshan, who had been eagerly waiting at home, finally received the photos sent by Linzai.
Above is a family photo of Peach Blossom and her husband, along with another photo of Lin Zai standing next to Ye Zhenzhen, grinning from ear to ear.
[Shanshan, I'll always be a pure peach blossom pink.]
Zhenzhen is beautiful inside and out!!! I've never met such a gentle girl!!!
Why am I not a rich woman? I really want to spend money on her!!!
Upon learning the whole story, Shan Shan felt a pang of jealousy; she longed to be comforted by the gentle and kind Peach Blossom.
Come on, TaoTao is way richer than you. She never fleeces her fans!

After enjoying a delicious hot pot meal, they visited a national park.
With Gu Tingshen joining them, the area they could explore today was much larger than in the previous days. By the afternoon, Ye Zhenzhen was still able to keep going, but little Gu Sinan was already too tired to walk anymore.
"Is Nan Nan tired?" Ye Zhenzhen touched the little girl's sweaty forehead, stopped and asked with some concern.
Gu Sinan rubbed her eyes, trying to stay awake, "It's okay, I'm not too tired yet."
"Your eyes are almost closed, baby, come here and let Mommy hug you." Ye Zhenzhen chuckled and pinched his cheek, then squatted down to pick him up.
She was glad that she had been exercising regularly, and that she should be able to lift a child weighing 30 or 40 pounds without any problem.
Gu Tingshen looked at her thin arms and legs, shook his head, and stepped forward to pick Gu Sinan up in his arms.
The child's eyes widened suddenly, and he awkwardly placed his hands on his father's shoulders. He blinked in confusion before realizing that his father had picked him up.
He's a big kid now, how can he let his dad carry him in the street?
He looked down at Ye Zhenzhen for help, "Mom, I can walk by myself."
“We’ve walked over 10,000 steps, and Mom is getting a little tired. You can rest assured and let Dad carry you.” Ye Zhenzhen looked at the father and son awkwardly hugging each other, pursed her lips as if she wanted to laugh, but then stopped herself.
Afraid of upsetting the sensitive little girl, she adjusted her expression and earnestly persuaded her, smoothing Gu Sinan's hair to make her relax and lie down, "Don't worry, Daddy is very strong. You can take a nap on Daddy's shoulder, and we'll be home soon."
At the same time, give the man a meaningful look—what a great opportunity for parent-child interaction! Seize it!
Gu Tingshen held the child in one arm and gently patted his back with the other. "Go to sleep if you're tired."
The child was not physically strong enough and was not used to it at first. He was a little shy and his little arms and legs were tense.
Soon, Gu Tingshen felt the little body in his arms completely relax and make even breathing sounds.
Gu Tingshen slowed his pace, trying to walk as steadily as possible.
"He's asleep." Ye Zhenzhen went around behind the man to take a look, then came back and whispered.
Finding the father and son's outfits amusing, he took out his phone and snapped several photos of them together. Then, he moved closer to Gu Tingshen, turned on selfie mode, and took a few group photos of the three of them.
Gu Tingshen looked at the camera cooperatively, a faint smile in his eyes.
The little body in my arms was warm and soft, and felt a bit heavy after falling asleep. I wondered what it was dreaming about, as it snuggled against my neck affectionately.
Ye Zhenzhen, who was beside him, kept handing him water and wiping his sweat, and would ask him from time to time if he was tired and if he needed to rest.
Gu Tingshen held her hand and walked with her as she talked about her plans after returning to China. She wanted to design several antique jewelry pieces, inspired by her time-traveling experience at Kande Castle.
Walking in a foreign land, he was just like any other tourist on the street, holding his sleeping child in his arms and holding his beloved wife's hand. Even amidst the noise of the crowd, he felt a sense of peace in his heart.

As they passed a fountain square, they encountered someone proposing marriage.
A blond young man in a suit knelt on one knee, holding a bouquet of flowers. The girl opposite him, dressed in a bohemian-style long dress, covered her mouth in surprise and was moved to tears.
A circle of red roses arranged in a heart shape surrounded them, creating a very romantic scene.
The crowd cheered them on loudly, some whistling, and a young man playing guitar even came over and improvised a wedding march.
Ye Zhenzhen craned her neck to look in that direction from a distance, thinking to herself, "Foreigners are indeed unrestrained in nature."
Gu Tingshen held the sleeping Gu Sinan in his arms and noticed her keen interest, which sparked an idea in his heart.
"What do you think of this kind of proposal?" He carefully observed Ye Zhenzhen, not missing the subtle expressions on her face.
They reminisced about their engagement ceremony, where the two families sat together and had a harmonious meal, which resembled a business meeting. Afterward, the two parties politely exchanged engagement rings, and the ceremony concluded.
It has absolutely nothing to do with romance.
"It's quite a spectacle! Proposals are definitely more interesting to watch others go through. Flowers, a diamond ring, candles, and everyone cheering and joking around," Ye Zhenzhen said with a smile. But then she wrinkled her nose and changed the subject, "But when it comes to myself, it's a different story. Relationships are very private. If I were surrounded by strangers listening to someone confess their love like this, I'd dig a Notre Dame Cathedral out of my toes!"
Just then, the marriage proposal was successful, and the two young people embraced happily to cheers from the crowd.
Ye Zhenzhen, satisfied with the spectacle, turned and left.
Gu Tingshen pulled Gu Sinan up in his arms, shook his head with a smile, and chuckled to himself at how he could have imagined she would like this kind of proposal.
Luxurious decorations and the envy of others were never things she cared about.
If he really went to great lengths to propose, she might complain that he was a fool and wasted money, suggesting he should have donated it to a charity instead...

Back at the hotel that evening, after taking a shower, Ye Zhenzhen first coaxed Gu Sinan to sleep.
Back on their master bedroom bed, she took out her phone and first looked at the work messages sent by Song Chengcheng to find out about the company's situation during this period.
Zhan Yan and Zhou Jin successfully entered the semi-finals, and several film crews contacted them.
To her surprise, Song Chengcheng mentioned that Tao Yao had received an invitation from A&W to become their brand ambassador.
She recalled for a moment before realizing that A&W was the studio where they changed clothes during the filming of the show, and all the clothing in the Château de Kande was their work.
She doesn't really want to be a spokesperson. According to her own plan, after this variety show is finished, she wants to gradually fade out of the public eye.
However, considering Fengming's new product plan, this might be a cooperation opportunity.
She made up her mind to try and negotiate a cooperation after returning to China.
After finishing her work, she opened her photo album, organized the photos she had taken that day, and prepared to post a nine-grid collage on Weibo.
As soon as I opened Weibo, I saw the hashtag #PeachBlossomCoupleHavingAnAffair# trending on Weibo.
? ? ?
She almost choked to death on her own saliva. What the hell is this shameful term?!

Clicking into the trending topics, I discovered that while they were out having fun, a new episode of their travel show had aired.
She turned on the replay of the program, trying to find clues, but the comment section was perfectly normal when the program started.
Wow, Director Jiang has really gone all out! He actually went abroad!!
Wow, those dresses look like real antiques!! The ladies look so beautiful after their makeover!!!
That pearl-white crinoline dress is absolutely stunning! Ye Zhenzhen looks like she's glowing in it. I'm completely mesmerized! Sister, you're killing me!!!
[There are even real carriages!! Wearing an absolutely gorgeous dress, riding in a carriage to the castle for a ball, what kind of fairy tale is this?!]
How much does it cost to stay at Condé Castle for one night? Can someone give me a price so I can give up on going?! I really, really want to go!!!
[I'm betting! I bet there's something fishy about the lottery results! Liu Wei's son-in-law/son-in-law relationship is so fitting for him, hahaha!]
The ladies are all so beautiful in their own unique ways, I can't take it all in!! Please wear more pretty dresses, ladies, I love looking at them!!
When Gu Tingshen appeared, everyone just joked about the identity he had drawn.
[I have a feeling that President Gu is inexplicably unlucky this time. He's supposed to be a CEO, but he got to draw a male servant. While everyone else goes on vacation, he looks like he's going to a labor camp.]
[Hahaha, you're so bold! How could you say that about our cool, domineering CEO Gu?! Hahaha, but why am I so excited?!]
[Looking forward to it! Zhenzhen, don't be soft-hearted! You have to be strict with the servants! A small whip or something is fine!!!]
[What to do? This couple seems even more likable now! Did you guys notice President Gu's expression? I don't think he's angry at all???]

[Was it just my imagination that he was touching my chin? I think he even seemed to enjoy it!]
Why didn't President Gu settle his identity from the beginning? It didn't seem that difficult.
Sister, didn't you notice how much he's enjoying it?! Being by his wife's side, taking care of everything for her, big and small—it's driving him crazy! See for yourself!!
[This possessiveness is incredible! Aside from the maid helping him change his dress on the first day, Mr. Gu personally did everything else!]
As Ye Zhenzhen climbed the stairs, a large, gloved hand remained protectively behind her.
He even held up her skirt for her—who would understand?! The tall man bent down to lift the girl's white skirt, always walking half a step behind her—this was the closest he could be to her as her servant...
The way this male servant looked at his master was certainly not innocent.
Wow, you write so well! Would you be interested in starting a long novel?
Up to this point, it was all just teasing. But when the scene shifted to her following Gu Tingshen downstairs and hiding from the patrolling maids in that narrow, cramped servants' quarters, the comments section exploded.
【Aaaaaaah! Is this some kind of master-servant play?】
[Gu Tingshen, how can you resist kissing her?! Hurry up and kiss her!!!]
[My god, I can't think about it too much!! Imagining the two of them in their new identities after time travel is so damn exciting!!]
[Holy crap, is this some kind of affair?! This invitation, this dark and cramped environment, I'm about to get a nosebleed!!!]
【What the hell is this "cheating"?! Watch your mouth, upstairs. Can you call something done by civilized people "stealing"?】
[Ahhhhh, he kissed my hand!!]
[This is the first time I've realized that a hand kiss can be so incredibly sweet!!]

[I get it, I get it!! President Gu is so good at this!!! He's acting like a subordinate, but his eyes are full of aggression and possessiveness!]
[Mr. Gu is usually quite quiet, but he's so witty and charming with Zhenzhen all the time. Don't love him too much!]
[Ah, I love this master-servant romance the most!! I'm totally hooked on this video tonight, are there any fanfics to replace it? I'm so hungry!!!]
The chemistry between these two is amazing; sometimes you even forget you're watching a travel show. The visuals are so high-quality!! It's like spying on a secret affair!!
......
Director Jiang is cunning; he ended the new episode here, leaving viewers eager for more and frantically tagging the director and production team in the comments section. This even propelled the hashtag #PeachBlossomCoupleAffair# to the top of the trending searches.
Zhao Nanqiao had obviously just seen the trending topic and sent her a WeChat message teasing her.
[Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't realize you two were so adept at this, Tao Tao!]
Ye Zhenzhen was speechless and enraged.
[It's clearly your distorted perception! That's not what happened at all!! I just felt sorry for him, such a big guy sleeping in such a small bed, he couldn't even fit his legs in!!]
[Hey, then what are you explaining? If you didn't, you didn't. Anyway, your online CP fans are totally obsessed with it.]
If you keep bringing this up, we can't continue this conversation!
[Okay, let's talk about something else. William's Kande Castle tourism project is a huge hit in China now. I saw on their website that reservations are booked until next year. The person who came up with this marketing plan is a genius!]
Ye Zhenzhen recalled what she saw and heard while recording the program and also felt that the other person was a talented person.
The production team was truly dedicated. Many details weren't visible on camera, but not only were the castle furnishings authentic, but even our costumes were incredibly elaborate, perfectly matching the historical period with beautiful designs and high-quality materials.
Don't even mention it! The A&W clothing studio where you guys changed outfits is already overwhelmed with orders. I heard that many socialites and influencers have flown there to order clothes, and the waiting list is until the end of the year.
This is going too far...
Ye Zhenzhen found it unbelievable; was it really that exaggerated?
[You might not notice it much abroad, but the same clothes are already widely available on domestic shopping websites, and talented video editors are getting involved—the number of fan-made videos on Bilibili (C-site) is off the charts! Other variety shows airing at the same time are practically green with envy.]
Zhao Nanqiao has witnessed the phenomenal success of "Travel" these past few days and is speechless at her best friend's nonchalant attitude. Any other celebrity participating in such a hit variety show would be seizing the opportunity to market themselves and boost their status. But Ye Zhenzhen is just out having fun, completely ignoring this wave of attention!
[Seriously, when are you guys planning to stop playing around? It's one thing for you to be a nominal CEO, but what about President Gu? What CEO skips work for half a month at a time? Tsk tsk tsk, where's your ambition? Has your love-struck mind taken over?]
...
After going around in circles, Ye Zhenzhen was ultimately defeated by Zhao Nanqiao's teasing and pressed her face against the smooth surface of the pillow to cool down.
Thinking of the edited videos on C-site that Zhao Nanqiao mentioned, I couldn't resist taking out my phone and opening C-site...
