The Secret Realm of Time, His and Her Life Through the Changes

Qi Qingnan and Zhou Yanruo exchanged a glance and both frowned.

Ding Jiajia looked at Shang Yibo, waiting for him to express his opinion.

Shang Yibo remained indifferent, discussing the drop rate of a game skin with the makeup artist while playing the game.

“We have to face this head-on eventually, right, Yibo?” Zhou Yanruo also looked at Shang Yibo.

"I'm fine with anything, there's nothing to worry about," Shang Yibo said calmly.

He stood up and walked between them, casually handing his phone to Ding Jiajia for safekeeping.

Qi Qingnan: "Yes, there's nothing to worry about. I've already arranged for fan support to control the direction of the comments during the live stream. As long as it's positive and uplifting about the drama, there's no problem. As long as everyone doesn't cause trouble, everyone benefits. The only thing I'm worried about is people who like to put one down to get attention."

"Director Qi, who are you talking about who's trying to grab attention? Who has offended you again? I'll help you fight back. Those 800 marketing accounts are just sitting around doing nothing anyway."

Lei Lei was speaking, and Xu Nuolai was beside him. The two of them walked into the dressing room together.

Xu Nuolai walked over to Shang Yibo and familiarly put her arm around his shoulder. Shang Yibo slumped down and slid her arm over Xu Nuolai's.

Xu Nuolai took the opportunity to pat Shang Yibo on the shoulder and said in a glib tone, "Teacher Yibo looks so handsome today."

A hint of disgust flashed in Shang Yibo's eyes.

Xu Nuo clung to Shang Yibo's side and said, "I'm sure our drama will be a huge hit. Let's interact more on stage later. Today's live stream will generate buzz if the fans flood the chat with comments."

As he spoke, he placed his hand on Shang Yibo's shoulder again.

Shang Yibo dodged to the side again.

Zhou Yanruo frowned, took a step forward, and stood directly in front of Shang Yibo. At the same time, Shang Yibo also took a step back; their movements were almost synchronized.

"Sir, please have some self-respect," Zhou Yanruo said bluntly.

"Sir? You called me sir? Ha, you're from another planet, aren't you?" Xu Nuolai tilted his head and smiled, saying disdainfully.

“Civilized people usually address men as ‘Mr.’ If you’re not ‘Mr.’ then what are you?” Zhou Yanruo retorted without backing down.

"Who are you?" Lei Lei walked over, arrogantly pointed at Zhou Yanruo, and said loudly.

"Lei Lei, how dare you!" Shang Yibo pulled Zhou Yanruo to his side and pointed at Lei Lei's finger, saying.

Shang Yibo has always been nonchalant and easygoing, but suddenly he showed such a strong side.

Ding Jiajia had never seen Shang Yibo like this before. She was momentarily stunned and stood there at a loss for what to do.

Shang Yibo's face was tense, one hand gripping Zhou Yanruo's wrist tightly, the other clenched into a fist, as if ready to strike at any moment. If Lei Lei dared to utter another disrespectful word, Shang Yibo would probably really not hesitate to throw a punch.

Lei Lei was also startled by Shang Yibo's sudden outburst, thinking to himself, "This usually quiet young master has suddenly stood up and asserted himself for a woman. It's unbelievable. I wonder what kind of background this woman has. I'll have to find someone to investigate her properly later."

Shang Yibo, this little kid, isn't anything to be afraid of, but the capital behind him shouldn't be underestimated. There's a reason why Shen Yihua of Yihua Entertainment cherishes him so much.

Thinking of this, Lei Lei immediately put on a different face and said in a casual tone, "Oh, I remember now, this is Teacher Yibo's rumored girlfriend. She's said to be a returnee from overseas, no wonder, everyone on the internet is saying she looks even younger in person than in photos, haha."

Xu Nuolai quickly came over and looked Zhou Yanruo up and down. Then, he said to Lei Lei, "Brother Lei, don't say that. Teacher Yibo will be sad. Netizens are so idle. They can even make up a scandal out of this. It's really funny. This is absolutely impossible. Yihua has also issued a statement to clarify."

"Oh yeah, how could that be? Hahaha, it was just an accident. But if it weren't for this accident, we wouldn't have been able to get together today. We should thank Teacher Yibo." Lei Lei said sarcastically. "Oh, and this agent, hahaha, it's all thanks to Lao Jie for coming up with such a terrible idea."

Zhou Yanruo watched the two of them acting like clowns and couldn't help but laugh. Is this the kind of person everyone in the entertainment industry is? She turned to look at Qi Qingnan and saw that she had a completely unfazed expression on her face, her mouth slightly open and not saying a word.

Ding Jiajia simply looked at Shang Yibo, ready to obey orders at any time.

Only Shang Yibo stared coldly at Lei Lei and Xu Nuolai, as if to say, "If you don't want to cause trouble, you'd better leave now."

If Lei Lei dares to spout nonsense again, he might really resort to extreme measures.

In this tense atmosphere, it's best to avoid any mishaps. The event is about to begin, and it's also the promotional period for an airing drama; negative news is absolutely unacceptable. Shang Yibo is at the peak of his acting career, and he'll be the one who suffers in the end. He needs to be patient for now to plan for the future.

Zhou Yanruo calmly said, "Is there something you need? It's very impolite and ill-mannered to come to someone else's lounge like this."

Xu Nuo glanced at Shang Yibo and said aggrievedly, "Yibo, you misunderstood. I came to discuss the script with you. Today's recording has been changed to a live broadcast, you know? There are already people online who have paired us up as a couple, called 'A Promise Worth a Thousand Pieces of Gold,' which emphasizes the deep brotherhood and the meaning of keeping promises. They've even created a super topic on Weibo, and now the couple has hundreds of thousands of fans."

"This must be Lei's masterpiece," Qi Qingnan teased. "We're still in the cooperation phase, and not communicating beforehand is probably against industry norms."

"It's all for the sake of promoting the show. It's like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea. If the show does well, the production team is satisfied, the investors profit, everyone is happy, and everyone benefits. Hahaha, why not?"

Lei Lei slyly said something that was already prepared.

Xu Nuo seized the opportunity to persuade Shang Yibo, saying with a beaming smile, "Yibo, my company has already made all the arrangements. You just need to cooperate a little. As your older brother, I guarantee you won't suffer any losses."

Shang Yibo replied indifferently, "I have confidence in the drama itself and will cooperate with the promotion according to the contract. As for the rest, there's no need to make a fuss about it."

Faced with such a lukewarm attitude from his younger brother, Xu Nuo felt somewhat embarrassed, but couldn't bring himself to react immediately.

Just as things were at a stalemate, the director came over to announce that the event was about to begin, and all parties should get ready...

The event was set up in the scenic Lifanyuan Lake area, making full use of the natural beauty of the lake and the majestic mountains behind it, vividly showcasing the chivalrous spirit of "wandering the world with a sword" and magical elements.

The entire scene was set up with a mysterious and romantic atmosphere, which complemented the theme of the event and made people feel as if they were in a mysterious and magical world. The atmosphere of the entire rendering was very consistent with the theme.

It is truly remarkable that such a high level of presentation could be achieved in such a short time.

This was, of course, inseparable from the strong support of the Xichuan Tourism Bureau, which provided valuable venues and resources, enabling the event to proceed smoothly. At the same time, this also fully demonstrates the strong public relations capabilities and professionalism of the production team and investors.

As the host loudly announced the official start of the event, the audience turned their attention to the stage. The host then warmly invited the two male leads of the drama—Xu Nuolai and Shang Yibo—to appear on stage.
