A single stone causes a thousand ripples.
Just as those people were paying attention to this forest guest, or secretly guessing the identity of this individual.
She suddenly disappeared without a trace.
There were even people who wrote to the "Cloud City Daily" to inquire, but the only apologetic response was that they were only responsible for accepting manuscripts and publishing what they found valuable. They did not know who the forest guest was, and even if they did, they could not possibly reveal the identity of the contributors.
Otherwise, who would dare to submit their work to the "Cloud City Daily"?
Gu Shengyin hadn’t disappeared; it was just that she wasn’t like other people who took advantage of their popularity to publish articles one after another at the peak of their heat.
Hunger marketing, an extremely effective strategy for the future.
Huangfu Qi, of course, also read the newspapers, but unlike others, he was the only person other than Gu Shengyin who knew the true identity of Lin Jianke.
He was amazed at her forthrightness.
He had thought that even though she stood up for herself that one time in the Loo Family, even if a divorce sounded better than being abandoned, in the eyes of others, she was still nothing more than a pitiful woman.
In her heart, she should be feeling sad; any woman who experienced such things should feel sad.
Yet, in her writing, there was no hint of sadness at all.
He saw only her carefree spirit and a sense of immense relief.
The previous unhappy marriage seemed like a burden to her.
Huangfu Qi found that the more he learned about this woman, the more he was drawn to her extraordinary nature.
She was a strange woman.
Initially, he just wanted to learn about her because he suspected her identity, but now, he wanted to understand her as a person and observe her even more.
Huangfu Qi knew such thoughts were dangerous.
One could easily get caught up without care.
A week later, people discovered that the "Cloud City Daily" had published another article.
The woman wrote about her life as if she were keeping a diary.
Her writing was extremely elegant and fluid; even her simple daily log read like an engaging short humorous story.
Because of her previous article, everyone was very curious about this woman, who was living alone after a divorce from her husband.
Even those who admired her or disliked her wanted to see what kind of life she led on her own.
Gu Shengyin showed them what was called the elegant life of a single aristocrat.
In a short article of only a thousand words, people seemed to see the image of a leisurely and graceful woman: she read and studied every day to enrich herself; she didn’t have to be busy serving her family and had plenty of time to dress up; after meals, she could stroll around various places in Cloud City, incidentally getting some exercise...
In the end, Gu Shengyin revealed her true intent.
She attached a drawing of her own design to the end of the article.
Having lived in various worlds, Gu Shengyin’s experiences were enough to be described as extensive and broad. She knew what kind of clothing was good-looking when worn and how to match them to enhance one’s temperament. In this era that was obviously just liberated from feudal times, the things in her mind were enough to easily lead the fashion trend.
It was a slightly modified Cheongsam design.
The most representative clothing for women of this era was the Cheongsam, and Gu Shengyin did not intend to change people’s aesthetics overnight.
