The die-hard fans were about to reveal this shocking news themselves when they discovered that someone had already leaked it prematurely in the "South King North Emperor" fan club super-topic.
It wasn't a CP fan or anyone from the die-hard fan group, but Gong Jin's mistake.
Ever since he started playing various entertainment social media platforms, Gong Jin registered an account called "Little Military Opening Tanks."
It was originally just for fun, to record his vacation life.
Today he happened to see Gu Beihuai trying on that mask, so he casually snapped a picture and posted it online.
In Gong Jin's mind, his face wasn't visible so no one would recognize him.
But he didn't notice that the picture he took was in live mode.
That is, it was a GIF!
In the live image, it clearly captured the entire process of Gu Beihuai putting on the mask.
Although very fast, his face was definitely revealed.
The netizens all have sharp eyes. In addition, the die-hard fans were almost driven crazy with jealousy, and the CP fans were even more frantic, just wanting to know who else could get close to Nan Xiangwan besides Gu Beihuai?
So, by following that mask, they traced back to Gong Jin's ignored Weibo account.
After comparing and taking another look.
Well!
Found it!
Not only was he found, but his face was also seen!
It's Gu Tianwang!
Once the news exploded, CP fans swarmed in and frantically reposted the picture in the fan club.
It's New Year's, it's New Year's!
Soon, this news brought down the entire Internet.
"Gu Tianwang is Nan Xiangwan's Dance Partner" (Explosive)
It rushed to the #1 hot search, squeezing everything else down one spot.
The die-hard fans were crying to the heavens questioning why the platform was removing hot searches. In the blink of an eye they saw this news.
Then, with astonishing speed,
Internet users who were going crazy with speculation rushed in, first paralyzing Weibo, then rushing into the fan club to frantically feast on the gossip.
What? Gu Tianwang was a dance partner? Moreover for Nan Xiangwan? The bewitching kind?
Take a look!
In order to see Gu Beihuai's dance moves they found the video, and then naturally, listened to Nan Xiangwan's song.
After listening, yo!
The little girl's singing had a killer sound. What kind of heavenly vocals was this?
Then, Nan Xiangwan's fan count skyrocketed!
The die-hard fans discussed and decided to take a back seat for now and observe what would happen.
At this time the Internet was exploded by passers-by. There was no need for the die-hard fans to contribute any more data.
The Gu Beihuai die-hard fans were also quietly watching. The opposing voices could not overwhelm the huge number of passer-by fans. Moreover, opposing was completely useless anyway. No matter how their idol demeaned himself to be a dance partner, he would stand by Nan Xiangwan.
The Gu Beihuai die-hard fans could do nothing but cry. They were utterly helpless!
Thus, with no obstruction from any side, the CP fans seemed to be elevated to the throne!
Madly indulging in the fantasy!
...
Sitting backstage sulking, Zhang Rui didn't even want to look at his phone. He was focused on ensuring that this episode of the show finished recording smoothly.
He was just a variety show director, not a capitalist. He had neither the strength nor ability to fight against those people.
Zhang Rui knew that it was best for him not to ask too much about entities who even the headquarters of a certain platform were apprehensive of.
But still he was very angry, angrily hurting his liver!
Just then, a staff member beside him suddenly screamed, "Ah!!! I'm going crazy from the fantasy!"
Zhang Rui frowned and scolded: "The hot search was already removed yet you're still so happy? Get back to work!"
Staff member: "Director Zhang take a look at the hot search! Oh heavens, is my internet disconnected? No, that's not right! It's paralyzed! Damn awesome!"
Zhang Rui: "???"
He opened his phone. After struggling to get in for a long time, he finally squeezed through and saw the dazzling #1 hot search.
Right now Zhang Rui couldn't see any other content, he just knew that he saw Gu Beihuai and Nan Xiangwan's names linked together!
Then after taking a look at the comments, well! The male dance partner from earlier was Gu Tianwang?
Zhang Rui felt that his worldview had been shattered!
The dignified Tianwang, lowering his status to be someone's dance partner?
Then, Zhang Rui burst out laughing heartily.
Nan Xiangwan's hot search was removed, who would've thought she would piggyback Gu Tianwang to make a comeback!
This operation, hahaha, felt so good!
...
In every time of happiness there is sorrow.
Qiu Chang had not been happy for long in his office when he discovered that the hot search he had spent a fortune to remove had been pointless.
Now a certain platform was paralyzed by the two people's popularity. Tianwang's 130 million fans had all rushed in for a round of likes, comments, and observations.
Even some passer-bys were watching the excitement and gossiping. The whole Internet was boiling!
Qiu Chang was so angry his face twisted. He fiercely threw his phone heavily onto the ground.
The phone was high quality custom-made, waterproof to a depth of 3000 meters. Even throwing it that hard didn't leave a single scratch.
The female secretary beside bent down and respectfully picked up the phone again, gently placing it back on the desk.
Then she retreated three steps, standing there transparently like air.
The female secretary didn't dare say anything at this critical juncture. No matter what was said, it would only incur her boss's violent temper.
But by coincidence, her addiction acted up.
At this very awful timing!
Gradually, the female secretary started trembling. She hugged herself in the corner, then squatted down with her teeth chattering loudly, giving off an eerie teeth grinding sound.
Qiu Chang was already quite irritable from having nowhere to vent his anger.
Seeing the female secretary's condition, he got up and strode over.
Grabbing a handful of the secretary's hair!
Qiu Chang grinned hideously: "Want candy?"
The female secretary looked at him with tears and pleading in her eyes.
Qiu Chang's hand clenched even tighter in her hair, tugging painfully at her scalp.
He smirked sinisterly: "I can let you have some, but what method can you use to help me calm my anger?"
Female Secretary: "I, I will keep an eye on Nan Xiangwan at all times. I..."
Qiu Chang yanked up her hair sharply, then slammed her head heavily against the wall.
Bang!
Qiu Chang: "Useless trash! What good is you keeping an eye on her? She's now just like Gu Beihuai back then! Can't be killed or gotten rid of! Like a cockroach!"
Qiu Chang: "That's right, a cockroach! Nan Xiangwan hahaha! What a Nan Xiangwan!!"
The female secretary's face was twisted from the pressure. Tears streamed down her face which had turned ghastly white and tinged green.
But she didn't dare speak again or move.
Otherwise what awaited her was not just lack of candy, but also a severe beating.
