The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 12

Nan XiangWan didn't know at all that she already had fans. She slept until dawn.

At 6 o'clock in the morning, the other three people in the room were still sleeping soundly.

The corridor was also quiet.

But the live broadcast had already started.

There were only a few people in the live studio, with sparse danmu floating by once every few minutes.

After Nan XiangWan got up, she looked around.

She was wearing workout clothes and followed the path to the Grade D practice room.

Danmu:

Huh? Nan XiangWan is up so early?

It's only 6 am, there's hardly anyone in the live studio!

Nan XiangWan is so diligent, didn't expect that!

The audience watching the livestream saw with their own eyes as Nan XiangWan walked into the practice room, then immediately started doing one-armed pushups!

And steadily at a fast pace, swish swish without stopping!

The danmu livened up immediately:

Pushups???

I thought she got up early to practice dancing or vocal warmups, but she starts off with one-armed pushups?

My mind is blown!

Have you guys counted how many she's done?

Nan XiangWan with those slender arms and legs, didn't expect she could do one-armed pushups!

Nan-ge is awesome!! (cracked voice)

More and more people started watching, and the danmu got more and more lively.

Nan XiangWan quickly finished 100 pushups each with left and right hands, then immediately moved on to situps, squats, pullups.

Since there was no equipment or large space to run around.

These were the only workout moves Nan XiangWan could do.

The livestream audience was totally dumbfounded!

What kind of physique is this girl?

Isn't she tired?

A monster!

After Nan XiangWan finished one round, it was already 8am.

She didn't stop, but took a few deep breaths.

Then suddenly extended her right hand and supported her whole body up in midair!

Danmu:

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

She's supporting herself up with one hand!

What kind of crazy strength is this?

She's a werewolf!

The danmu exploded.

Nan XiangWan's moves were still continuing.

She straightened her body, laying flat in midair, with her left hand behind her back, right hand supporting her on the floor.

Keeping her head and feet perfectly straight!

Just like a pole, straight as an arrow suspended in midair.

This move had extremely high requirements, much harder than just supporting yourself up with one hand.

It required the ultimate in strength and balance!

Most people can't even do it with both hands, let alone one hand?

The danmu exploded again, with people expressing that Nan XiangWan was too awesome, attracting new fans with her skills!

But this wasn't Nan XiangWan's final move. After maintaining the one-handed balance for 10 seconds.

She supported her whole body's weight with just her thumb, clenching the other four fingers into a fist!

Single finger, supporting!

Steady, not moving!

Completely still!

Danmu:

Fuck!!! Awesome!!!

It's a single finger! Single finger my friends!

666666666

Prairie dog scream!!! Nan-ge awesome!!!!!!!

My mom asked why I'm watching the livestream on my knees.

I'm totally dumbfounded! How is this possible?

Is this the strength it takes to get into military school? My god!

I'm an actual military school student, and can't do this.

I just asked my soldier husband, he says he can't do it.

My god! This Nan XiangWan!

Ahhhh! Nan-ge is so cool! Look at the definition of her arm muscles! So delicate and gorgeous!

Amazing! Her arms are so slender, yet can do this kind of move!

Large beads of sweat dropped onto the floor.

Nan XiangWan seemed to feel no tiredness, maintaining this pose steadily for a full half hour!

The danmu grew more and more throughout.

Many people were furiously recommending others to come watch. Newcomers who saw this scene erupted into new waves of screaming excitement.

It was already very impressive for a girl to be able to do a handstand.

But Nan XiangWan's single finger support?

Blew them away!!!

Many people had already screenshot or screen recorded, posting on various platforms.

Those previous videos of her breaking bricks barehanded and sword dancing were also continuously promoted on the short video platforms, going viral.

After maintaining the single finger support for half an hour, Nan XiangWan ended today's workout.

She got up, looked at her sweat-drenched clothes, and went back to take a shower.

At 8:40am, trainees started trickling into the practice rooms.

In the Grade F practice room, Xi BaiWei was the earliest.

Looking at the empty practice room, she put on what she thought was a very sweet smile for the camera.

And deliberately said: I'm the earliest, the early bird gets the worm, you must give me a "k"!

After hyping herself up, she started practicing.

Vocal warmups.

Danmu:

???

You're the earliest? Nan XiangWan was here two and a half hours before you!

Switch the camera to another practice room please, I don't want to see Xi BaiWei.

Gu Beihuai fans have come to slaughter! Kill!

I think you just got up early to put on makeup? Look how thick that powder is!

I won't "k" you, I want to punch you in the face!

In the top management office of Nanbei Entertainment.

A small meeting was being held in the conference room about Nan XiangWan.

The reason was of course because the boss behind the scenes had @'ed the girl on Weibo!

PR preparations, followup collaborations, female lead of MV, they had to start getting ready.

The person who caused this whole incident, Gu Beihuai himself.

Was lazily lying on the couch sunbathing while watching the livestream on his phone. He was also one of the million strong audience.

From when Nan XiangWan started doing pushups at 6am, Gu Beihuai had been watching.

He really felt this girl was very interesting!

When he saw Nan XiangWan do the single finger support and maintain the parallel pose, a hint of surprise flashed through Gu Beihuai's eyes.

But compared to the exploding screen full of "Nan-ge awesome" danmu floating by.

Gu Beihuai was clearly much calmer.

When the Nan XiangWan on screen finished her workout, and the camera switched to Xi BaiWei.

Gu Beihuai immediately exited the livestream, as if he'd swallowed a fly.

Then he walked to the center of the living room floor.

Casually threw off his bathrobe, revealing an extremely fit physique.

Gu Beihuai extended one finger, and did the exact same move as Nan XiangWan right there!

Nan XiangWan had at least used her palm to support herself at first before slowly transitioning into the single finger.

But Gu Beihuai went straight into the single finger!

When he saw Nan XiangWan do this move, he was a bit surprised. But he wasn't surprised by the high difficulty of the move.

Rather, he was surprised that there was someone other than himself in the entertainment industry who could do it.

Gu Beihuai maintained it steadily for a full hour!

He sweated a little, but not dramatically, and didn't form a puddle on the floor.

Just then his phone rang.

Gu Beihuai freed himself and picked up.

Zhao Tiancheng: Boss Gu, the company wants to sign Nan XiangWan early. Orange East Entertainment, Hengtian Entertainment, and several other big companies all have intentions to snatch her.

Gu Beihuai: Then give her a 70/30 split.

Zhao Tiancheng was shocked. Giving a newbie a 70/30 split right off the bat? That was unprecedented treatment!

Zhao Tiancheng: OK OK, then...

Beep! Beep! Beep!

The busy tone indicating a disconnected call sounded from the phone.

Zhao Tiancheng:
