Chapter 341: The Twentieth Day in the Entertainment World

Chapter 341: Day 20 of Being Thrown Into the Entertainment World

The live streaming platform's servers took the hardest hit since the platform launched, with noticeable lag and delays, but the number of people flooding the stream grew at an insane rate.

The second that pre-interview clip aired, social media exploded.

#Yu Ziyun Goes on a Dating Show for An Yi# came with a "hot" tag so blazing it went purple, locking down the number one spot.

#Love Relativity Sexuality#, #An Yi Succubus Physique#, #Yu Ziyun Coming Out# and other tags shot up the charts at a terrifying pace, with related topics basically sweeping the top ten.

Random netizens scrolling by couldn't help but ask: Who is Yu Ziyun? And who is An Yi?

Once they figured it out, all hell broke loose.

Some were stunned speechless, some were hyped and celebrating, some were confused and questioning, and some conservatives were losing their minds.

But there was no denying it—*Love Relativity* had hit a level of buzz and discussion that was absolutely unprecedented. It had truly gone mainstream.

And right at the center of this storm was An Yi.

As the comments section echoed in his ears, he narrowed his eyes.

Comments section:

"Wait, author, are you for real??? I clicked in to read about the female lead Ruan Bingxuan's comeback romance in the entertainment industry, okay?! What the hell is this now? Huh? The male lead is An Yi—he IS the male lead, right... I know he's hot, but isn't this a bit much? Every guy and girl is fawning over him? Even some big-shot lawyer who just appeared out of nowhere came here specifically for him? This is basically 'An Yi and His Harem,' isn't it?! A scam! Pure and simple false advertising!"

"I'm literally laughing out of anger. I've been following since chapter one, watching Sister Bingxuan break away from that crappy company, hoping she'd join a dating show and stir up a love battlefield. And what do we get? She's on the show, there IS a battlefield, but it's the male lead's? If you love male leads this much, you should've said so from the start! Why the bait-and-switch? My heart hurts for Bingxuan—she's been confirmed as a plot device, just there to introduce this universally adored An Yi, right? I'm done. Dropping this. Too exhausting."

"I'm honestly done. There were hints from the start of the dating show, but this chapter just completely broke me. The whole 'everyone loves her' thing has nothing to do with our Bingxuan! She's still over there getting butterflies for An Yi, but HE'S the real center of the universe. Author, don't you see the irony? The female lead's love interests, her battlefield—all given to the male lead?"

"@Author! Stop simping for male characters so much! This is a female-led novel! What are you doing! I'm so mad my liver hurts! And you even added a BL storyline for the male lead on top of everything! I already thought Miao Bin and that preachy guy were sus from the start!"

"Damn! My blood pressure was through the roof the whole time I was reading this chapter! Miao Bin clings to An Yi, Cang Xingjin stares at An Yi, and now some random lawyer crashes the dating show for An Yi! What about our Bingxuan? Is she just destined to be a background prop to highlight his universal charm? Are her resilience, hard work, and beauty all just for show? Author, do you even know how to write a female lead? If not, then don't! Creating this male character with overwhelming charm who steals every spotlight—why did you even make Bingxuan the lead in the first place?! I'm furious! Reading this book is suffocating!"

"Ahhhhhhh! Stupid author! (Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.jpg)"

[The moment Yu Ziyun said 'I came for An Yi,' I knew this book had changed. Fine, author, do what makes you happy. Turning your world into An Yi's seduction show and reducing the female lead to an awkward bystander is your choice. But as a reader, I have no obligation to keep supporting a story that's completely gone off the rails and had its core premise stolen. Crappy book! Dropping it! Ugh!]

"Honestly, An Yi's character alone could make a decent 'everyone loves him' story, but the problem is, you're writing a female-led novel. I really don't want to watch the male lead steal all the female lead's shine! Stupid garbage!"

"Namo Gatling Bodhisattva, six roots pure depleted uranium rounds, three thousand six hundred revolutions per breath, great compassion to save all beings. @Author! Look at this gun!"

"..."

Yu Ziyun?

And the author...

----------

The villa.

All the guests had been told by the production team to gather in the living room to welcome a new guest joining the show.

An Yi already knew who it was.

He sat on the sofa, chin propped on his hand, lazily watching the door.

Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a pale golden glow over his delicate features—so clean and beautiful he didn't seem real, with an ethereal quality that made him look like he might dissolve into the light at any moment.

Miao Bin blinked and leaned in.

Just then, footsteps echoed from the entrance, and everyone's eyes snapped toward the door.

A tall figure walked in, wheeling a suitcase.

The newcomer stood tall and imposing, with a strikingly handsome face that radiated intensity—sharp brows, a high nose bridge, thin lips pressed together, and piercing eyes.

Everyone's eyes lit up. Damn, he's handsome.

A faint smile curved at the corner of An Yi's mouth. Sure enough, it was Yu Ziyun.

The moment Yu Ziyun stepped into the living room, his gaze swept past Hao Yangyang, Yu Tongxin, and the others who were curiously looking on, and locked firmly onto An Yi, who sat on the sofa as still and serene as a painting.

The instant he saw An Yi, Yu Ziyun's heartbeat—which had been subtly quickening—settled into an eerily calm rhythm.

He was here, so close to him.

The restlessness, jealousy, and speculation that had simmered through the screen now crystallized into tangible reality.

He had come, with a clear purpose.

The director's voiceover chimed in at the perfect moment, with a barely concealed tension and excitement: "Dear guests, let's give a warm welcome to the ninth guest of *Love Relativity*—Yu Ziyun!"

The guests applauded politely, sizing him up in their heads. This guy's presence was overwhelming, and... he didn't seem to be from the industry?

There had been vague rumors that the show was bringing in a special guest, but no one expected it to be special like THIS.

The moment Cang Xingjin saw Yu Ziyun, his handsome brows furrowed.

Yu Ziyun? His family and the Yu family had crossed paths at various events, so he naturally recognized this well-known member of the Yu clan.

This was absolutely not someone who would just show up on a dating show to seek attention.

What was he doing here?

Cang Xingjin's gaze instinctively shifted to An Yi, then back to Yu Ziyun, and an uneasy suspicion started to form.

Why does he keep staring at An Yi? Do they know each other?

Could Yu Ziyun be the so-called "someone with connections" backing An Yi?

That realization added a deeper layer of displeasure to the already complicated emotions An Yi stirred in Cang Xingjin, along with a faint, wary unease.

Yu Ziyun gave a slight nod to the group: "Hello everyone, I'm Yu Ziyun."

After exchanging greetings, his gaze once again locked onto An Yi.
