Qin Wanyan emerged amid the fog left by the rain.
Under the spotlight, Qin Wanyan was wearing her maroon-colored hair down with curls, wearing a delicate crown-shaped barrette on her head embellished with diamonds in the shape of stars.
The most breathtaking part was her dress, a long dress with a color gradient from silver to blue layered with a translucent tulle material on the outside. A fragmented array of small diamonds shone brightly beneath the tulle like the Milky Way, so beautiful it’s stifling.
“Ah ah ah a goddess on earth, Qin Wanyan!” The screams of fans broke through the clouds, loud enough to be heard by everyone on the livestream channel.
The live comments grew evidently denser:
——[Wow, this really is a goddess herself!]
——[Big sister must be tired from descending from the heavens, tonight’s best dressed must go to you!]
——[The moon won’t descend to you, but Goddess Qin has brought the moon and stars to you!!]
Qin Wanyan was an expert at managing her expression so that even in the rain, her smile shined bright.
She approached the autograph board and signed her name as smoothly as flowing water.
Her well-designed handwriting was light and elegant as more and more people began to blow rainbow farts* in the live comments.
—— [Wuli* Goddess Qin is so talented, even her handwriting looks heavenly!]
—— [This dress is too beautiful. You can feel her sparkling with each step!]
—— [Thinking back to the Vase Fairy’s cheap call girl red dress, the little goddess is basically a dimensional blow to the Vase Fairy]
—— [Ah ah why doesn’t big sister walk the red carpet with Jiang Chen? They are a couple on screen after all]
Although “Heartbeat”‘s broadcasting numbers weren’t as good as “Two Under One Roof”, their trending search queries were quite terrifying. Because of the main trajectory of ‘romance’, plus the gossip brought about by the already controversial guests, god knows how many times each guests’ fans had already ripped each other apart.
Jiang Chen’s popularity was there. Although he had 0 CP synergy with Qin Wanyan, they still managed to force together a batch of CP shippers.
Jiang Chen’s girlfriend fans were very fierce in combat though and demolished the CP supporters on the spot:
—— [It’s just for variety show effect. Can this female artist stop lying to herself?]
—— [Qin Wanyan is exactly five years older than Chen zai, basically an old hang, taking away our Chen zai from her hmph]
—— [GTFO CP fans! Jiang Chen is the most popular trafficking idol in his career. Stop trying to barricade our didi!]
Due to the shocking number of girlfriend fans, the CP fans were outnumbered, and in no time, nobody in the live comments dared group Jiang Chen and Qin Wanyan together as a couple.
Meanwhile, inside the van, the agent was in a fit of rage toward Jiang Chen.
“Are you deaf, or are you mentally disabled? I told you to walk the red carpet with Qin Wanyan! Have your wings hardened now that you won’t even listen to what I say? Let me tell you, without me, you are nothing! I can make you reach the top, I can also make you fall into the mud!”
The manager continued to curse while Jiang Chen remained silent.
After all… he was used to it.
He endured this kind of verbal abuse all the time.
Seeing his stubborn demeanor, the agent was furious and wanted to slap him once or twice.
She had already accepted the bribes from Qin Wanyan’s agent! Now that things were messed up, wouldn’t she have to spit back all the money?
This basically felt like cutting her own flesh!
She was not very capable, as it was based on pure luck she was able to bring up someone like Jiang Chen. Taking advantage of Jiang Chen’s honest character, she had brainwashed him everyday. She couldn’t even count how much money she’d made from Jiang Chen.
To her, Jiang Chen was just an object that belonged to her. He had to abide by her completely!
The agent turned her shrewd eyes to her money making machine and falsely coaxed: “Jiang Chen, later at the gala, you must interact with Qin Wanyan more. I can plead with the boss for you and ask for you to leave SEASEVEN. How about that? Isn’t that what you’ve always wanted?”
Jiang Chen, who had been in a state of numbness throughout this whole ordeal, finally stirred…
*Translator’s Note: This is becoming an increasingly common term throughout the novel, so I will begin translating it literally from now on. “Giving rainbow farts” in this case basically means to go so overboard with exaggerated and false flattery, to the point of ‘ass kissing’, usually done by fans of idols.
*I believe “wuli” means ‘ours’ or ‘our’ in korean, used to address idols in an intimate and fond manner
