Hot Search Alert! The Princess Goes Viral Worldwide-Chapter 144

Gu Nanyan had been extremely busy these past few days, buried in books as she became utterly engrossed in scientific knowledge, hardly putting them down.

Sister Li assumed she wouldn’t attend the Yunfei Awards ceremony.

To her surprise, Gu Nanyan decided to go.

Setting aside her book, Gu Nanyan said calmly, "‘Starlight’ was a collective effort, poured with everyone’s hard work. Being nominated for the Yunfei Awards is a form of recognition—how could I not go?"

"Wonderful!"

The news that Gu Nanyan would attend thrilled Sister Li beyond words.

"Starlight" had achieved phenomenal success. The drama excelled in every aspect—storytelling, acting, commercial appeal, and cultural significance—earning its reputation as a national sensation.

Several international networks were already in talks to acquire broadcasting rights.

Public enthusiasm soared, and Gu Nanyan’s popularity skyrocketed. Fans adored her, establishing multiple fan sites in her honor.

However, since she rarely made public appearances, fan site managers lamented the lack of photos, pleading for "Empress Yan" to show herself.

Their wish was simple—they just wanted to see their idol.

"Empress Yan, you’ll be walking the red carpet. What do you plan to wear?"

Numerous high-fashion brands had already reached out, offering to lend her gowns. There was no need to worry about attire.

In the past, lesser celebrities would be lucky to borrow a haute couture piece. But for Empress Yan, brands were competing for her to wear their designs.

"Several are offering global first-wears. Would you like to take a look?"

Gu Nanyan typically preferred simple, comfortable clothing, but that didn’t mean she disliked beautiful dresses.

Who wouldn’t appreciate a stunning gown?

"Let me see," she said. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Sister Li promptly contacted Feng Chengxi, instructing her to send over photos of the haute couture options.

Once received, Sister Li presented them to Gu Nanyan. "Empress Yan, take your pick. They’ve assured us they’ll tailor the design to your measurements, customizing it just for you.

This will be your first haute couture appearance—everyone’s watching."

"It’s just a dress," Gu Nanyan replied, still unfamiliar with the unspoken rules of the fashion world. She didn’t understand the fuss—it wasn’t like she was wearing royal robes.

"Empress Yan, you might not realize this," Sister Li explained, "but most celebrities climb their way up gradually, borrowing haute couture as their status rises. You, however, debuted at the top. Given your standing in the industry, brands aren’t just lending to you—they’re begging you to wear their designs.

Anything you wear will sell out instantly.

My Empress Yan, you have no idea how deeply you’ve influenced the nation. From wealthy elites to everyday people, everyone adores you."

Not to mention, Empress Yan was also a high-society wife.

In the past, when celebrities from humble backgrounds wore haute couture, wealthy socialites would turn up their noses at the brands.

But Gu Nanyan, married into one of the most prestigious families and adored by the public, elevated the status of any brand she wore.

After Sister Li’s explanation, Gu Nanyan understood. "Then let’s start with a domestic haute couture piece."

Given her influence, supporting local designers was a priority.

She selected a blue gown reminiscent of traditional ink-wash landscapes.

Then, flipping through the photos again, she ignored brands this time and focused solely on design, searching for something she genuinely liked—to buy.

One piece caught her eye: a soft, ethereal dress in a misty sand hue.

So delicate. She had never worn something so gentle before.

"This one," Gu Nanyan tapped the image and told Sister Li. "Buy it."

Sister Li: "..."

Now that was dominance.

"Empress Yan, you don’t need to buy it—just borrow it."

"I like it. Buy it."
