Li Yan witnessed this scene backstage. Her thoughts spiraled into confusion. Without the necklace, the dress lacked any distinctiveness. Considering Luo Yings favorable reception, that would only mean one thing for her.

Amidst her internal turmoil, the host called out her name.

“Next up, Li Yan.”

Li Yan was caught off-guard. She stood up shakily. Her face was pallid, and her gaze was unfocused.

“What’s up with her? She doesn’t seem to be paying attention.” “That dress simply does not fit her face and figure.”

“What on earth is she wearing? She must still be half-asleep.”

As she heard the chorus of criticism from the audience, Li Yan felt even more unsettled.

After two steps, she stumbled and fell.

The audience first went silent, then burst into hearty laughter.

The emcee’s face alternated between red and white. Even with his vast experience, he didn’t know how to salvage the situation.

Li Yan hurried off the stage in embarrassment.

After the catwalk segment came the interview and chat phase.

Luo Ying was genuinely looking forward to this. It was an opportunity to discuss the new drama’s content and boost her popularity.

While the crowd enthusiastically cheered to her catwalk, the host threw a question at her.

“How did it feel working alongside Xie Yun in this production?” the host inquired.

“Xie Yun is highly gifted and resilient. He tackles many challenging scenes himself without using any stuntmen,” Luo Ying replied, clearly lauding Xie Yun’s qualities.

“With so many kissing scenes with Xie Yun in the show, wouldn’t your husband be jealous?” Li Yan suddenly threw a cunning question.

“This is my profession. Naturally, my husband supports me,” Luo Ying smiled as she cursed Li Yan a thousand times in her mind.

Li Yan’s smile turned disdainful as she quipped, “Indeed, your husband is remarkably magnanimous. He’s fine with you kissing other men on- screen and tolerates your flirtations off- screen with one man after another. I recall you even resorting to jumping off a building to pressure Mr. Lu into divorce. I won’t go on; there’s too much to recount, hahaha.”

The room was filled with stunned silence. No one had anticipated Li Yan’s retaliatory strike.

Lu Zhao suddenly stood up and stated, “My wife’s matters doesn’t concern you.”

All eyes were drawn to him.

A high-pitched scream came from the crowd, “Lu Zhao? Is that really Lu Zhao?”

The atmosphere reignited.

“Oh my goodness, I’m actually seeing Lu Zhao in the flesh!”

“Our ancestors must be turning in their graves. I’m sitting with a CEO!”

“What kind of fairy tale romance is this?”

The emcee was nearly tempted to scream in excitement, but due to her position, she maintained a composed facade and steered the atmosphere back to calm.

Lu Zhao continued, “Over all this time, there have been countless hurtful comments directed at Luo Ying and countless doubts about our relationship.” Lu Zhao paused momentarily, then continued, “I’m here now to clarify. I love Luo Ying, no matter who she is or what she faces. She’s my lawful wife, and I’ll exert all my efforts to love and protect her. If I hear any more malicious rumors or slander in the future, don’t expect me to hold back.”

Onstage, Luo Yings eyes glistened with tears.

No matter the circumstance, this man would stand by her and protect her unconditionally.

Once the show aired, Luo Ying and Lu Zhao dominated online trends for three days.

Lu Zhao’s powerful declaration of his devotion to his wife, accompanied by a variety of background music, spread across various video platforms.

Everyone now knew that Luo Ying had a husband who cherished her deeply. Additionally, due to Lu Zhao’s warning, the comments section became notably more respectful.

After all, those who provoked the Luya Group usually didn’t fare well.

Thanks to this incredibly effective publicity, “Prime Minister” went viral online.

Views and ratings soared, which positioned it as the top show of the season.

Su Li’s face was almost split from grinning.

He had risen from an unknown director to helming a hit drama. For Luo Ying and Xie Yun, better opportunities lay ahead..
