The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 131

Monica looked at the time and started styling Nan XiangWan for the evening.

She first bleached Nan XiangWan's hair all over, then dyed it red.

A bright bloody red!

Still an exaggerated style, the more flashy the better!

After dyeing her hair, she started curling it, curling it into various curls on top of her head.

Then she started on the makeup.

Nan XiangWan just sat there motionless, eyes closed letting her do whatever she wanted.

When she opened her eyes again, it was Xiao Dong carrying lunch boxes to feed her.

She also brought Nan XiangWan's wristwatch.

A RICHARDMILLE RM51-01 lion lady's watch worth 5.87 million yuan!

Xiao Dong felt this watch had to make an appearance!

Seeing the watch, Monica raised her eyebrows: "I've only styled you twice, dragon and lion, this watch matches well."

Nan XiangWan wore it on her left wrist, raising her hand, the diamonds and rubies flashed nonstop.

It looked great!

While she was eating lunch, Monica took down those curls on her head and started combing her hair into a hairstyle.

By the time Nan XiangWan finished eating, the hairstyle was just about done setting.

She continued with the makeup!

After a round of styling, Nan XiangWan didn't really understand these professional techniques, she just knew she looked prettier.

Especially the queen's aura, which was highlighted very prominently!

Those eyes, captivating, with a penetrating gaze into the soul.

After the makeup and hair was done, Nan XiangWan started putting on her performance outfit with Monica's help. The base pieces were easy to put on.

Only the dragon mantle needed assistance.

Several assistants carefully lifted up the dragon body, Monica stepped in to attach the dragon head and tail to Nan XiangWan's shoulders.

Then she draped the dragon body neatly over Nan XiangWan's nape.

The overall look was as if a golden dragon was coiled on her shoulders.

The dragon's head lifted high, howling towards the sky!

Next, Monica styled Nan XiangWan's big curled red hair to one side, casually draping it over one chest, while slicking the other side flat to reveal the entire side and her fair neck.

She then put on an exaggerated earring.

Nan XiangWan looked, it was a very noticeable ruby drop earring.

Following that were the shoes.

Monica specially brought a pair of red-bottomed shoes, with very high stiletto heels.

The red shoe soles echoed the rubies in her hair and earrings.

The limited colors used in the entire look, just three - red, black and gold.

Matched together, it gave a strong visual feast effect!

Nan XiangWan tried on the shoes, the size was perfect.

Plus she had long trained her core, normally whether standing or sitting she was upright, with straight posture and steady feet. She was not worried at all about walking in high heels.

She walked very steadily!

When everything was ready.

Nan XiangWan stood there, like a dragon queen who had walked out of another world!

Exuding nobility and power all over!

Monica lifted her hand and gently kissed it.

Monica: "Blossom, my queen!"

Nan XiangWan looked at herself in the mirror, dazed for a second.

This outfit, it was custom made for her...

By now the time was 2:30pm.

The Shanghai Grand Stage was already packed, filled to the brim.

Nan Xiangwan was led by the staff to take photos, everyone had to take photos.

Seeing Nan XiangWan's styling, the photographer snapped several shots in succession, reluctant to give up any one.

That queen's aura, Nan XiangWan was simply a natural!

Staff: "Why not post a photo grid later?"

Photographer: "Sure!"

When she returned to the waiting room again, Monica and her assistants had already left. The entire waiting room was empty except for Xiao Dong who was busy tidying up.

Nan XiangWan sat quietly waiting, looking forward to this stage as well.

At 3pm sharp.

Host Guan Liangzhe walked onto the stage, microphone in hand, greeting the live audience and warming up the atmosphere.

The audience below cheered loudly, very lively!

Guan Liangzhe: "Large venues are the best! You guys are cheering so loudly, our sound system is still powerful! Right? This time no need to worry about not being loud enough to hear!"

The crowd continued to cheer, not having to worry about being too loud felt great!

Guan Liangzhe: "Come on, let me see who you're supporting? Hold up your fan signs."

The audience immediately held up their support signs!

Guan Liangzhe looked carefully and read out: "Mm mm, this one is for Nan XiangWan, this one is for Zhu Sha, this one is... what? The Silly Girls Group?"

Crowd: "Hahaha!"

Guan Liangzhe: "Those of you supporting the Silly Girls, please leave now. I think the seven of them want to have a word with you."

Crowd: "Hahahahahahahahahaha!"

The fan who was called out immediately changed his sign, and held up another one that said [Demon Dance Party].gif!

Guan Liangzhe laughed so hard his mouth was twitching. The camera panned over and the others also burst out laughing.

As for the online audience, the bullet screen chat was already filled with 666!

Next, Guan Liangzhe announced the performance order, explaining to the audience why it was arranged this way.

The audience indicated their understanding, and looked forward to Nan XiangWan as the closing act!

But the reactions online were very different. As soon as the brick fans heard Nan XiangWan was performing last, they hurriedly started rallying people to vote.

Being the last to perform at the closing, from start of performance to end of voting, was a total of over 20 minutes.

Enough time?

Not enough!

Hurry and start voting now!

The brick fans also didn't have time to pay attention to the other trainees' stages. They hurriedly started calling for votes in their group chats.

There were also many bricks in the live audience. They immediately took photos to post on Weibo rallying for votes!

Soon, Guan Liangzhe left the stage.

The first performance began!

Miao Manjing walked onto the stage and started her solo singing.

Actually her skills were decent, but she lacked solo singing experience on stage, and was slightly unable to let loose. After all this was a solo stage without any teammates, it placed extremely high demands on the performer.

Even a tiny flaw would be magnified infinitely!

Miao Manjing was very nervous. She finished the song without any major mistakes, but also lacked explosive power.

She anxiously glanced below, and found many people were not paying attention to her, especially a young man in the front row.

He didn't even look up at the stage, busily sending voice messages saying something!

Since the front row was near, she could just make out some of it.

"Hey hey! Where are you? Did you see Nan XiangWan? Aren't you backstage? Send me a pic of Nan XiangWan! No! Oh my, Nan XiangWan is performing last. I see many fans asking for pics but there are no styling pics. No time to hype up momentum and rally votes, worried the vote count will be too low!"

Miao Manjing didn't get to hear much more because she had to hurry backstage to the waiting room to make way for the next performer getting ready.

But she felt extremely uncomfortable inside!

Why was it Nan XiangWan everywhere?

Like a plague!

At this time backstage.

Gu Beihuai was waiting alone in a separate waiting room, studying high school revision materials while replying to Jie Chou's messages.

They were all voice messages, listening nonstop was clogging his ears.

Gu Beihuai quickly typed a reply.

'Gu Beihuai: No pics, busy here!'

'Jie Chou: Go take one! Hurry up! I'm surrounded by brick fans, they're super anxious!'

'Gu Beihuai: Tell them to chill, Nan XiangWan doesn't need this stuff, her skills are enough.'

'Jie Chou: You're really... so annoying! We bricks are fighting hard here!'
