I made my fortune by livestreaming in ancient times.

"Settling accounts?"

Nana screamed in my ear: "Lolo, show us the front! I'm being pressured to death! Everyone wants to see a handsome guy!"

Zhu Luo was startled. Had she lost her mind? They were still live-streaming; what was she daydreaming about?

"This...isn't that a bit inappropriate?" she replied to Nana instinctively.

"Why not?" Xiao Mingyan blocked her way, glancing back at the sky from time to time. "Reciprocity is only natural. Since Miss Shen is a businesswoman, how can I take advantage of her? If word gets out, where will I put my face?"

A casual glance has already become breathtaking.

Holy crap! Up close, she's actually a yandere beauty!

[If he got rid of his dark circles, I don't know how handsome he would be!]

[Lolo! I've already placed 10,000 orders, can I have a handsome guy's name?]

The live stream chat exploded, and Nana was almost overwhelmed.

Zhu Luo quickly passed Xiao Mingyan's name to Nana from the inside.

Her fans' purchasing power is the foundation of her survival.

You must never offend your benefactors.

Turning his head, he continued, "Does Your Highness mean to give my daughter money for food?"

The public chat was filled with Xiao Mingyan's name.

Some people even sent him a carnival.

Some people even specifically requested to see the aloof and handsome man beside Xiao Mingyan.

Nana was completely bewildered.

“Exactly.” Xiao Mingyan reached out and lifted her sleeve, placing a pure white jade into her hand. “I wonder if this is enough?”

Zhu Luo looked down, and the mirror curiously moved closer as well.

The jade pendant is round and has a lotus flower carved in the center. It is exquisite and the jade is warm and smooth like mutton fat. Holding it in the palm of your hand can calm your mind and make you feel peaceful and comfortable.

Wow! This is top-quality jade! I collect stones, and this jade is absolutely exquisite!

[I also think it looks great. What kind of production team is this? Are the props so lavish?]

There are quite a few knowledgeable people in the live stream room.

Zhu Luo also felt it was valuable.

Moreover, she knew this wasn't a prop, and the Third Prince of the Great Liang Kingdom wouldn't lie to her.

She returned the money, refusing outright: "This is too much. I am already extremely grateful to Your Highness for taking me in. I promised to treat everyone to a meal, so it would be inappropriate for me to accept money."

"Heh, Miss Shen really doesn't care about my life or death." Xiao Mingyan sneered, grabbing her in his palm. "It's only polite to return what you've received. If Miss Shen doesn't accept it, then you're looking down on me."

The coldness of his palm sent shivers down her spine, raising goosebumps all over her body.

Just as she was breaking free, Nana's piercing voice nearly pierced her eardrums.

"Ten million! Ten million! Lolo, we're rich!"

Someone in the live stream gave a donation of ten million.

At that moment, the jade pendant in Zhu Luo's palm disappeared.

That's equivalent to the jade pendant being worth ten million in modern currency.

Such a small stone, yet it's so expensive!

Perhaps the passage of time also plays a role.

"Then I shall respectfully accept your offer, Your Highness."

Even if she wanted to return it now, she couldn't, because the stone had already been converted into modern currency and entered into Lin Datou's company.

Zhu Luo was somewhat disappointed that the jade pendant was gone before she could even enjoy it.

Xiao Mingyan frowned slightly, then smiled and released his hand: "That's more like it. It'll be some time before we return to the capital, so the food..."

"I'll leave it all to my daughter." Zhu Luo pretended to stuff the jade pendant into her clothes and patted her chest to promise, "I will definitely find a way to get food and make sure everyone goes hungry."

Ten million yuan—she could afford to cover all her food expenses for a year.

Xiao Mingyan narrowed his eyes, looking at her with a half-smile: "Thank you."

Nana quickly received her assignment: to prepare for a two-week mukbang (eating broadcast) project.

The live stream for this period has ended.

"Your Highness, my daughter has another question."

"That thing about our telepathic connection?" Xiao Mingyan pointed at her, then poked at his light armor.

Zhu Luo nodded: "Yes, Your Highness, may I ask what else you saw or heard?"

Xiao Mingyan frowned and thought for a moment: "As far as I can remember, I only saw Miss Shen eating something beside me, and she asked you if it was good. You then brought the bowl over, and then..."

Then he woke up, said she smelled bad, and vomited.

Zhu Luo coughed a few times: "Is there anything else?"

"Miss Shen, do you perhaps expect me to fabricate something? Like, 'We hit it off immediately,' or 'We felt like we'd known each other forever'?"

He lowered his voice, his head almost resting on her shoulder.

The passing soldier saw this and jumped away as if he had been injected with chicken blood, only to fall headfirst into the pit after a few steps.

Zhu Luo chuckled awkwardly, squatted down, and stepped back, keeping a meter's distance from him: "This humble girl wouldn't dare."

Xiao Mingyan curled his lips into a smile, the smile lingering but not reaching his eyes: "Miss Shen is a candidate for the imperial concubines, and I know my place."

Zhu Luo remembered that he had mentioned before that Shen Zhuluo had returned to the capital from the border town because of the Crown Prince's selection of concubines.

Just as I was about to inquire about what happened next, Nana dropped a bombshell.

"Lolo, should we invite the top contributor to join the group?"

"Who's the top-ranked player?"

"Are you stupid, Lolo? You just received ten million and you've already forgotten about them."

Zhu Luo slapped his forehead.

Purchases made in her live stream will earn you access to different levels of fan groups.

A donation of ten million is enough to get her into her top-tier circle of friends and family.

But how do I add Xiao Mingyan to the group?
