Official Account of “The Villainous Black Lotus Chronicles” TV Series: “Wow~ Is this the late-night snack the Northern Ink King sent for Sister Taoyao? [Shy face]”
Under this comment, there were over ten thousand replies.
“Oh my god! Is this official confirmation?”
“Even the official account is leading the way in shipping them! Sisters, what are you waiting for? Just join in!”
“After watching today’s behind-the-scenes clips, I knew something was off—it didn’t seem like acting!”
“Your behind-the-scenes clips kept me awake all night, ahhhhh! Who understands the pain of being single?”
“Can you film and broadcast simultaneously? I can’t wait to see Taoyao and the Northern Ink King already~”
Netizens’ imaginations when it comes to gossip are truly out of this world. Wasn’t she just discussing the script with Shi Si near the set? How could they see ‘Wanqing and Shi Si’s private interactions are super sweet’ from that?
But when it comes down to it, the “culprit” is still the behind-the-scenes editor.
A few years ago, there was a globally popular drama that exploded in over 20 countries overseas, even launching two top stars. To this day, that drama still brings millions in revenue to the Lemon Platform every year. Lemon could practically retire on that show alone.
A significant part of that success was thanks to the behind-the-scenes editor.
Without the behind-the-scenes editor’s “dedication,” where would the endless supply of “sugar” for the CP fans to indulge in for years?
“The Villainous Black Lotus Chronicles” shares the same director and main creative team as that drama. Hoping to recreate the miracle, the platform has replicated that drama’s success formula exactly for this one.
So far, it seems they’ve really learned a thing or two—or rather, a billion things—about the essence of capturing behind-the-scenes footage.
With the buzz, the trending topics, and the CP fans, everyone’s expectations for the entire series are through the roof. It’s hard not to become a hit.
Wanqing frowned as she scrolled through the comments, feeling slightly annoyed.
Do they really not need to inform the people involved before shipping them as a couple?
Late at night.
Hong Kong International Airport, VIP passage.
A man in a tailored suit, surrounded by a group of black-clad bodyguards, boarded a black Cayenne that had been waiting for some time.
As soon as he got in the car, Secretary Su Qin began reporting on work matters.
“CEO Qi, here is the schedule for tomorrow evening’s EM Digital Intelligence International Financial Summit opening ceremony and the list of attendees.”
Poor Secretary Su had been waiting at the airport for CEO Qi for a full two hours.
CEO Qi was always extremely punctual. He was originally scheduled to arrive in Hong Kong at 9:30 PM, but just before boarding, CEO Qi called and asked him to arrange a flight change.
However, even though CEO Qi hadn’t arrived yet, Secretary Su hadn’t been idle. He spent the time carefully reviewing the contracts needed for the next day. Before long, CEO Qi arrived.
Glancing at the man with his imposing aura, Secretary Su hesitated for a moment before saying, “Um, the Gu family is also on the invitation list for this event.”
The man elegantly crossed his long legs, looking down at the documents as he casually replied, “Hmm.”
His tone was cool and devoid of emotion.
Secretary Su was slightly surprised.
He double-checked to make sure he hadn’t missed any important information earlier.
But since he had managed to outshine other secretaries to become the chief secretary, his emotional and intellectual intelligence naturally went without saying. He knew what to ask and what not to ask.
After a pause, he looked at his boss and added, “Young Master Huo said that since you rarely come to Hong Kong, he has prepared a special gift for you, which is already at your villa on the Peak.”
The man remained silent. The deep, reserved navy blue suit contrasted with the cold metallic gold frames of his glasses, making his features appear even sharper and more aloof.
“Understood.” Secretary Su nodded in understanding and immediately contacted Huo Yanzhi’s secretary.
Hong Kong is an international metropolis where cultures from various countries converge. Every time the boss comes to Hong Kong, the dashing and unrestrained Young Master Huo would send him a few passionate and exotic beauties, but each time they were returned untouched.
Even though he knew sending beauties was useless, this Young Master Huo still took great pleasure in it. Who knows what he was trying to prove.
Next, Secretary Su reported the third matter.
“CEO Qi, Miss Wanqing is trending again.”
For the sake of the boss’s love life, Secretary Su was doing the work of two people while only getting paid for one.
CEO Qi never cared about irrelevant people or matters, but he seemed to have unprecedented patience and interest in this Miss Wan.
Keeping track of a celebrity’s activities wasn’t part of his job scope, but from today onward, it became part of his work.
But what was up with this celebrity lady?
During the day, she sweet-talked and flirted with the boss, then turned around and stirred up gossip with another man?
Utterly outrageous.
The man finally lifted his gaze and asked indifferently, “Again? Does she frequently trend?”
Secretary Su immediately presented his phone with the screen lit up.
“Not exactly frequently, but she’s been trending more often lately. This time, it seems to be because of a steak.”
Qi Yan lowered his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the trending topic title—
#Wanqing and Shi Si Spreading Sweetness Late at Night#
What caught the eye was a behind-the-scenes video.
In the video, a young woman in a water-blue dress was holding a script, memorizing her lines with her head down. Suddenly, someone called her from behind. As she turned around, a handsome prince clad in black armor walked toward her. The two exchanged a smile.
The handsome man and beautiful woman standing together looked like a picturesque scene.
At first glance, the video didn’t seem unusual—just normal interactions during filming.
Scrolling further down, there was Wanqing’s Weibo post: [“Fed late at night, gained three pounds, very unhappy!”]
Here was the key point: the comments section of this post unanimously believed the steak supper was sent by Shi Si!
After reading the comments and revisiting the video, suddenly everything seemed abnormal. Even a casual glance could spark imaginations of a romantic affair.
Concerned about his boss’s masculine dignity, Secretary Su risked his life to offer advice.
“CEO Qi, it seems like the production team is deliberately guiding public opinion. Miss Wanqing is just cooperating for promotional purposes. I’m sure that steak wasn’t sent by Shi Si!”
Qi Yan replied calmly, “I sent it.”
Secretary Su choked.
“Huh?”
