How could they not see it?
“Emm… Although the great demon has a terrible personality, after watching both livestreams, I feel that he’s really amazing to his wife.”
“The contrast between being fierce outside and a pushover at home is so cute…”
“After watching, I feel like he’s not just taking care of his wife, but also raising a daughter. Who understands (I’m a mud sculpture, but it’s really heartwarming!)
“Being a single father must be tough. I’ll be the nanny too @Qi Zhuoyu”
“Yes… Besides my parents… I really can’t think of anyone else who would wake up at five in the morning to make breakfast for me…”
“My mom would force me to finish everything, but the sister-in-law only takes a bite of each dish…”
“Omg, it’s so pampering, don’t kill me with cuteness (smoking.jpg”
“I’m just saying, is there a novel with this kind of character setting, the great demon x the mischievous little brother-in-law, please…”
“And Qi Zhuoyu’s posture of eating his wife’s leftovers is so skilled, I don’t believe he hasn’t had years of muscle memory training (smoking.jpg”

Around 5 p.m., “The One At My Home” released the preview that they had been hiding.
This wave of previews, posted on Weibo, once again created a huge splash.
The reason was simple.
When the preview was recorded, Feng Xuan had already transformed into a mortal with short hair.
But unexpectedly, the crafty production team had another set of outtakes!
During the break when the stylist came to cut Feng Xuan’s hair, the production team had not completely left the villa, intending to film more of the scenery around the villa as material.
And during this time.
Feng Xuan, thinking that the production team had already left, removed his disguise and revealed his true form as the Crown Prince of the White Jade Capital.
The clothing of the divine race was different from that of mortals.
Although they appeared similar to ancient costumes to the naked eye, the sensory experience was completely different.
Coupled with Feng Xuan’s breathtakingly beautiful face.
Even a momentary glimpse captured by the camera was enough to shock the online audience.
“What the f*ck???”
“Holy sh*t, holy sh*t!”
“Holy fcking sht!”
“I thought I would no longer be shocked by my wife’s beauty, but my wife’s beauty is constantly pushing the limits of my imagination!”
“@Production team, you motherf*cker, why did you hide this good stuff until now?”
“F*ck… This ancient costume is too beautiful… Damn, if my wife isn’t in the top 1 for the 2023 Ancient Costume Beauty rankings, I won’t watch it!”
“Long hair is my xp, who understands this pain!!!”
“And judging from the length and fit, I must say, the stylist responsible for this look definitely used his own hair!”
“?! Save me, did my wife cut her hair just to be on the show?”
“I really hate myself, but I don’t know why. If I’m not my wife’s husband, I’ll either not see my wife at all, or I’ll see my wife but not his long hair. I just hate that I’m not my wife’s husband…”
“Qi Zhuoyu… You little brat… Don’t be too happy…”
“Now I finally understand why the rebel was so arrogant and kept saying that his wife was too cute and he couldn’t help but show off. Damn, he really got me good…”
Then, the production team released a behind-the-scenes clip.
It was the moment when Director Wang couldn’t help but ask, “Where did you hire such a beautiful wife?”
As expected, a seasoned director knows how to get the best results.
As soon as this sentence came out, it was immediately reposted by various marketing accounts and quickly topped the Weibo hot search list.
The original hot search topic #Qi ZhuoyuHiredAWife# transformed into #QiZhuoyuHiredMyWife#.
Netizens continued to talk about it for a long time, and all the attention was naturally generated without the production team having to buy popularity. The level of engagement was far higher than if they had bought hot search rankings themselves!
With these two waves of hype.
The audience’s expectations for the evening’s phone-in livestream were even higher.
In the morning, when the livestream room first opened, there were only two to three million viewers.
Now, even before the livestream started, there were already over six million reservations, and it was only eight o’clock.
It was clear that the second season of “The One At My Home” had successfully fired the first shot to become a huge hit.
****
The phone-in livestream at 8 p.m. was a short interactive livestream with the audience, lasting about an hour.
The main purpose was to select the questions with the highest number of likes from under the official Weibo livestream room, organize them, and then ask the guests.
The questions for the other couples were relatively normal.
But when it came to Qi Zhuoyu, the entire atmosphere became extremely bizarre.
Such as:
“I really want to know what you shook in the morning, it’s on my bucket list now.”
“Graduated from MIT in 2010; Joined the Navy SEALs in 2011; Went to Syria on a mission in 2012; Nominated as someone who can change the world in 2016; Willing to give up a lifetime of honors in 2023 to join your family, can I be your wife’s little dog too?”
“(On stage) (Adjusting tie) (Well-groomed) (Clearing throat) (Turning on the mic) Hello, your wife is so cute, can I be your wife too? (Listening to the answer) (Bowing) (Humble) (Dashing) (Taking my wife’s hand and leaving)”
“How does it feel to kiss your wife? Are you comfortable? What about me? I’ve been waiting in the livestream room all afternoon!!!”
“There’s so much leftover food, one husband can’t finish it all, right? @Qi Zhuoyu, don’t be stingy, let me be a husband too.”
“Support open competition!”
There.
Not a single question that could be selected!!
The production team finally decided.
To pick a few that didn’t seem too out of place, and then prepare a few reasonable ones themselves, making a total of ten questions!
The chief director had already informed the artists beforehand.
To ensure that the artists would be online promptly at 8 p.m., the guests were reminded again half an hour in advance.
Feng Xuan was still groggy from sleep, but remembering this, he struggled to get up from bed.
Just like when he used to attend classes at Qingxu Academy, although he really wanted to slack off and sleep, the gene for attending school, ingrained in his DNA, kicked in.
Qi Zhuoyu saw the way he walked with his eyes closed.
He found it both funny and endearing, and pinched Feng Xuan’s face. “If you don’t want to record, then don’t.”
“No, Senior brother.” Feng Xuan was quite adaptable. “If you don’t show up, people will say you’re being arrogant. The netizens will scold you.”
He learned pretty quickly.
“Don’t worry.” Qi Zhuoyu didn’t seem to care. “I don’t care about that.”
That was just how he was, always acting high and mighty, as if nothing could faze him.
He cared even less about the criticism of mortals.
Feng Xuan remembered that before Qi Zhuoyu’s Book of Fate had been altered.
The Book of Fate had predicted that he would become a demon lord who would overthrow the mortal realm and leave a stinking reputation in the history of the Three Realms.
Back then, he killed people as casually as cutting vegetables.
Someone who didn’t value his own life wouldn’t care about the criticism of others.
But.
Feng Xuan did care.
He felt that Qi Zhuoyu wasn’t as bad as people imagined.
Moreover, he had almost perished while suppressing the Chaotic Sea.
The Three Realms could have what they have now because of him.
He was.
Feng Xuan thought stubbornly in his heart.
He just felt that Qi Zhuoyu was really, really good.
He didn’t want Qi Zhuoyu to suffer any more harm or misunderstanding.
“Anyway, Senior brother doesn’t understand.” Feng Xuan muttered.
“Senior brother doesn’t need to understand.” Qi Zhuoyu spoke slowly, “Senior brother only needs to understand that Xiao Qi loves Senior brother very much.”
Feng Xuan: “.” Damn, shameless. That’s only because you liked me first, and I reluctantly liked you back!
At 8 p.m. in the evening.
The livestream channel opened once again.
Millions of viewers instantly flooded in:
“Do you know how hard I’ve waited?”
“When my wife was giving birth, I didn’t wait as painfully as this!”
“Hello, I haven’t seen my wife for eight hours and thirty-six seconds. Where’s my wife?”
Feng Xuan finally appeared in front of the camera.
Holding the script, he greeted everyone. “Good evening~”
Bullet comments in unison:
“Hi! Wife!”
Feng Xuan: “?”
In the few hours that he had been away from the internet, why had the atmosphere in the bullet comments section become so strange again?
Perhaps noticing Feng Xuan’s expression.
The bullet comments continued:
“Although my wife is only Qi Zhuoyu’s wife, I am also only my wife’s husband.”
Feng Xuan was even more perplexed: ……?
What the hell? Isn’t that something I said privately to the big devil?
How do netizens know? Damn. Could it be that netizens can also read minds?!
Or has my expression management deteriorated to the point where everyone knows what I’m thinking?!
Bullet comments:
“Wife, I’ve already downloaded and saved the video of you acting coquettish this afternoon (smoking.jpg”
“Now, the whole internet knows that you’re a baby who can’t fall asleep without Senior brother’s kisses (smoking.jpg”
Feng Xuan: “……”
Although he didn’t say anything, his flushed ears were clearly visible! !
What the hell.
Mortal technology is too scary!
Didn’t he turn it off?!
“Laughing to death! I’ve been looking forward to seeing this!”
“Wife, my stupid wife, what would you do if you didn’t have me?”
“We’re all family, so next time you don’t have to hide your coquetry from us. There’s nothing else, I just love watching (dog head)”
Fortunately, the host came online in time and rescued Feng Xuan, who was already in a state of shutdown.
So, during the evening livestream, Feng Xuan was even more cautious than in the morning.
The questions asked by the host were also prepared by the production team in advance.
Do you have any intimate nicknames for each other in private?
What do you think is the key to maintaining a marriage?
Since Qi Zhuoyu described him as a little bird, Feng Xuan also got the nickname Little Bird Baby from netizens.
The first forty minutes of the phone-in went smoothly.
With only one question left, Feng Xuan quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
He felt that nothing unexpected would happen.
The host began to ask. “Earlier, the production team captured footage of Mr. Xiao Xuan’s long hair in ancient costume. Can you reveal why you were dressed like that? Was it for a cameo in Mr. Qi’s new movie or something?”
They were just trying to find out about Qi Zhuoyu’s upcoming schedule.
Feng Xuan didn’t expect the production team to have filmed this, and he said, “No cameo.”
He paused for a moment and decided to tell the truth. “I used to have long hair.”
Bullet comments:
“Woc?? It’s really a long-haired beauty!!!”
“Ah!” The host sighed. “What a pity, it’s such a shame that we didn’t get to see Mr. Xiao Xuan’s long hair, it was so beautiful!”
“It’s okay.” Feng Xuan saw that the host was quite disappointed, so he explained, “Senior brother used to have long hair too.”
Host: !!!
Bullet comments: !!!
When did the rebel ever have long hair?
Hasn’t he always refused to take on ancient costume drama roles?!
The host looked at the bullet comments and said, “Ah! It’s such a pity! The fans are really looking forward to seeing Mr. Qi in ancient costumes. It’s really a shame that we didn’t get to see the long hair!”
Qi Zhuoyu, who had been silent, seemed to notice something and said indifferently, “What’s there to regret.”
“Long hair is inconvenient.”
Feng Xuan: ?
Big devil, who has been sporting long hair for tens of thousands of years, now says it’s inconvenient?
That’s strange, and I suddenly have a bad feeling about this.
As expected, just as the bullet comments were agreeing and saying that it was indeed inconvenient to wash, dry, and dress long hair.
Qi Zhuoyu suddenly straightened his body, his peach blossom eyes sparkling, and he said slowly, “When the hair is too long.”
“Every time Xiao Qi grabs it forcefully in bed.”
He continued slowly, nonchalantly, “It hurts quite a bit.”
I need moarrrr
