Although "The Brocade Robbery" was released, due to Lin Shu's ban and the various scandals exposed by the company, this originally highly anticipated big-budget production received almost no promotion, and was only broadcast on a second-tier video website. For the first few days, it barely made a splash. Until the seventh day, a two-minute clip suddenly went viral on various platforms. In the clip, Su Qianqian, playing the courtesan, danced gracefully, her figure swaying in the breeze. The clip's title was simple: #Whose newcomer plays the courtesan so captivatingly?# Likes quickly surpassed 100,000. [Holy crap? That figure is amazing.] [Stunningly beautiful! I need all of this girl's information in three minutes!] [It's Su Qianqian, a newcomer from Shen's Media.] ... The hype continued to grow. The hashtag #SuQianqianCourtesan# quickly climbed to the top of the trending searches. Brother Wang's phone was ringing off the hook, all calls asking about Su Qianqian's availability. He dealt with them while marveling at the data. This script was almost ruined because of Lin Shu, but Gu Chengyu didn't want Qianqian's efforts to go to waste, so he forcefully promoted it with a single sentence. He initially thought it would only cause a small ripple, but unexpectedly, a newcomer with just a few minutes of screen time gained real popularity. In the Cloud Top Apartment, Su Qianqian was curled up on the sofa reading her new script, swinging her legs. Gu Chengyu sat beside her, looking at reports on his tablet, when he suddenly reached out and snatched the script from her hands: "Stop reading, rest your eyes." She exclaimed "Ah!" and tried to grab it back: "I'll be finished soon..." Her phone vibrated repeatedly. She shifted her attention and looked down; it was a message from Qin Yuwei. "Qianqian!!! You're famous!!!" "Quick, look at Weibo, everyone's praising you!" "Ahhh, that dance clip is amazing!" Su Qianqian blankly opened Weibo and, sure enough, saw her name trending. She clicked on the dance video, looking at herself in the video, somewhat dazed. She'd danced that dance so many times during filming that she didn't feel much anymore; she hadn't expected the final product to be like this. Suddenly, her chin was pinched. Gu Chengyu turned her face towards him, scrutinizing her closely: "Happy?" She nodded, then shook her head: "It's so sudden, it feels a bit unreal." He chuckled softly, his thumb brushing against the corner of her lips: "It's only just begun." His tone was unreadable, but his eyes were deep. Su Qianqian's heart tightened slightly, and she instinctively leaned into his arms: "Ayu..." He held her close, his other hand swiping across the tablet screen, jumping to another interface, which was the comment section of the dance video. 【That waist, that gaze! Sister, you're killing me!】 【Is Shen's going to promote a new talent? Such good resources? She was also the second female lead in "The Chaos of War" announced a while ago.】 【She was also the variety show fairy who became famous for her beauty.】 【Whoever she is, this dance is beautiful and captivating.】 He paused for a moment on the last comment, then suddenly lowered his head and nibbled her ear: "You danced really well." Su Qianqian's ears burned, and she whispered in protest, "Didn't I dance for you before?" "Yeah, I forgot a bit." He replied casually, his fingers slipping under her clothes, his palm against her lower back: "You twisted especially well here." "Let me experience it again." She gasped softly, as he pressed her down onto the sofa. The tablet fell onto the carpet, its screen still lit up with the frantically scrolling praise. "From now on, you can only dance for me privately, no more filming." "How can that be... Ah!" Outside the window, the night deepened, inside, their breaths mingled. On the tablet, the video's likes quietly surpassed the million mark.
