Quick Wear: Oh no, the lady is running away with the ball again

"That's what the original body posted!" the system said with a hint of pride. "Do you still remember your original obsession with being your parents' good daughter? To please them, didn't you post two pictures of you with your pets, and one of your garden? Just these two pictures, with simple captions like 'I had a lot of fun playing with Xiaobai today' and 'The flowers in the yard are blooming'? And yet, you've gained a lot of followers! I took a look at the comments, and many people praised your fairy-like appearance. Some even thought you were a low-key, wealthy daughter and gave you the tag 'True Princess Comes to Social Media'!"

Yun Qian was suddenly at a loss for words. "My original self was really casual... But, a hundred thousand followers?" She raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled with interest. "It seems like my 'acting career' has a new starting point!"

"Right!" the system quickly replied, "And I've already pinned those two Weibo posts for you! I also checked your backend data, and the comments section is super active right now. If you post something, it's sure to be another wave of attention!"

Yun Qian sat on the hospital bed, enduring the dull pain from her wound, but the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously. She thought for a moment and asked the system, "How about I post a status update now? Using this surgery as a way to thank those who cared about me?"

The system immediately responded excitedly: "Great idea! Host, just write something gentle and add a slightly refined selfie of yourself after being discharged from the hospital. It will definitely go viral!"

Yun Qian nodded, secretly sighing inwardly at how unexpected this unexpected surprise had indeed come. Lying in her hospital bed, she began to formulate her future plans: now that she had fans, she could leverage the system's resources to slowly pave her way in the entertainment industry. And the gift from the Yun family...perhaps it could even become her trump card.

"It seems that this appendicitis is really worth it." Yun Qian murmured with a chuckle.

The system immediately echoed, "Right, right, right! Host, this is a godsend! We can fully capitalize on the current fan enthusiasm. With some effective Weibo management, we'll definitely break out!"

Yun Qian paused, a thoughtful look in her eyes, and then she changed her tone slightly. "However, we must also be prepared for backlash... After all, look at all this talk of 'real princesses' and 'real daughters.'" She paused, a calm, scrutinizing look between her brows. "Do you smell any danger?"

The system was stunned for a moment: "Dangerous? What do you mean?"

Yun Qian glanced at it, his tone half teasing, half serious: "Have you forgotten, what I took is a fake Qianjinben."

The system's heart skipped a beat when it heard this, and it quickly changed the subject: "No, no! Let's just focus on the task at hand and stop overthinking! By the way, host, the current public opinion environment... you do have a point. How about I help you research the trends of this era?"

"Go ahead. What if your current values are particularly positive? For example, you might support the idea that 'every individual life deserves respect,' 'it's still a time when bloodline theory is the only thing,' or 'the remnants of feudalism are still inextricably destroyed.' Generally speaking, that's unlikely, though."

The system excitedly replied "Received" and began to act: "Host, wait a minute, I'm going to go see what the public opinion is like! I hope there's good news!"

Yun Qian lowered her eyes and chuckled softly, tapping her fingertips on the quilt. "I hope we can prepare in advance and won't be caught off guard by the storm. I still feel that since she and I have never met before, it won't be a big deal. In fact, when I had some free time recently, I was thinking about whether I could get Yun Nongying to my side as soon as possible."

The system was stunned when it heard this: "Yun Nongying? She is the rumored future 'real daughter'! Host, you are actually thinking about this?"

Yun Qian smiled softly and looked up at the sunlight outside the window: "Yes. The more potential the opponent is, the sooner we need to understand her and get close to her. Besides, she may not necessarily be an enemy. Maybe -" She paused slightly, the corners of her lips raised slightly, "We can still be friends."

The system couldn't help but complain: "Host, you are too bold! Aren't you afraid that she will push you out?"

Yun Qian shook her head, her eyes calm but firm. "If she truly is a child of the Yun family, even if she doesn't know her identity yet, she must have something deep down connected to the Yun family. Besides, no matter how many resources the family has, they don't necessarily have to hold onto them. Rather than waiting for the storm to hit, it's better to take the initiative. I want to see what kind of person Yun Nongying is."

The system was silent for a moment before muttering softly, "Host, you always have a way to turn a crisis into an opportunity... However, if this is the case, I'll have to prepare more plans."

Yun Qian chuckled softly, a sly glint in her eyes: "That's up to you. I'm really looking forward to the future."

Gu Wusui dragged his exhausted body into his home. The house was completely silent, a chilly air filling the air. He gently closed the door and lowered his head to remove his coat, his movements as neat and tidy as ever, yet his heart was still restless. Once upon a time, this kind of loneliness was familiar to him; it was even a habit. Uninterrupted, the stillness of the night was his most accustomed rhythm. But since Yun Qian appeared in his life, this sense of loneliness seemed to have quietly changed.

He walked over to the sofa and habitually picked up the phone on the coffee table, but there was no message. His finger paused on the screen, his eyes somewhat empty. Every time he came back from outside, Yun Qian seemed to always occupy a corner of his heart, but she didn't belong here, not in his original life. She was still busy and in her own circle, and he was just an insignificant existence to her.

He put down his phone, his eyes dim, and sat on the sofa, leaning against the cushions. He looked out the window at the streetlights, feeling a sense of loss. Nights like this used to be just a brief break from work for him, where he could quietly sort out his thoughts and enjoy a moment of peace.

But now, there was an unignorable void in this tranquility, as if something was missing, and as if something had quietly invaded his life, making him no longer so comfortable with this loneliness.

Gu Wusui reached out and picked up the wine glass on the table, shaking it gently and watching the wine create tiny ripples in the glass.

Every ripple seemed to reflect the ups and downs of his heart. The image of Yun Qian kept floating in his mind, that confident, strong, and intelligent girl. Those moments they spent side by side, those subtle interactions - her existence quietly filled the void in his heart.

With a deep sigh, Gu Wusui placed his wine glass back on the table, lowered his head, and closed his eyes. He had thought loneliness was a habit, something he could ignore. But ever since Yun Qian entered his life, he realized that loneliness wasn't what he truly wanted. What truly made him uncomfortable was the emptiness and the longing she left in his heart when she wasn't around.

He looked up at the empty room, and an indescribable emotion welled up in his heart. Perhaps this loneliness belonged to him, but now, he began to long for a voice to break the silence, longing for someone to walk into this empty space and bring a little warmth.
