I was criticized on a dating reality show, but I retaliated and became an internet sensation.

Director Liu put down the microphone and bowed deeply to the audience.

Amidst thunderous applause, he straightened up, his gaze seemingly casually sweeping over Gu Yan's direction, a meaningful smile playing on his lips, before striding off the stage.

The host returned to the stage, smiling as he greeted all the guests:

"Come on, everyone, this is the last session, let's take a group photo!"

The six guests walked onto the stage one after another and stood in front of the camera.

Shu Zi stood beside Gu Yan, Han Jingxue and Shen Yihuai stood side by side, and Su Yanhuan and Jiang Yunyou stood on the other side.

The flash went off, capturing the moment.

After the group photo, the host quietly left the stage, and staff began to guide the people away from the stage area in an orderly manner.

Su Yanhuan glanced back, as if realizing something, and quickly pulled Jiang Yunyou away.

Shen Yihuai and Han Jingxue exchanged a glance and tacitly retreated to the side stage.

The stage lights softened, leaving only a warm beam that quietly enveloped the two of them.

Shu Zi was puzzled, and when she looked around, she realized that everyone else had retreated offstage at some point, and even the host was nowhere to be seen.

She suddenly realized something, and her heart skipped a beat.

She turned her head to look at Gu Yan, only to find that he had already let go of her hand.

Then, he knelt down on one knee in front of her.

A deep rumble came from afar, and a cluster of fireworks suddenly rose from the sea, exploding in the night sky and scattering a shower of golden stars.

Then, the second and third flowers bloomed in succession, dyeing the entire night sky a brilliant golden-red.

Shu Zi was completely stunned.

She subconsciously took a half step back, but Gu Yan gently grasped her wrist.

"Don't run away."

She lowered her head and met his gaze.

He knelt on one knee in front of her, with fireworks lighting up the night sky behind him.

Shu Zi stood there, looking at him, her eyes gradually reddening.

Gu Yan took out a dark blue velvet ring box from his pocket and opened it.

A diamond ring lay quietly on the velvet fabric.

A ring of small stones is set around the main diamond, reflecting a dazzling light in the glow of the fireworks.

A line of small characters was faintly engraved on the inside of the ring, flashing by in the interplay of light and shadow, and could not be seen clearly.

He looked up at her, his gaze brighter than the fireworks behind him.

"Shuzi, we grew up together. Before I became an adult, I always thought of you as my younger sister."

He paused, a hint of amusement in his voice, "But I knew it wasn't true from the day you came of age."

He lowered his eyes, then raised them again, his gaze intense:

"From that moment on, I knew that you were the only one for me in this life."

"I've waited all these years, from when you were eighteen until now, and I don't want to wait any longer."

He raised the ring in his hand slightly higher, his gaze fixed on her, his voice clear:

"So, Shuzi, will you marry me?"

The fireworks in the distance rose to their highest point and burst into bloom, illuminating the entire sea surface.

Shu Zi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and tears finally slid down her cheeks.

She looked at him, opened her mouth, and found herself speechless for a moment.

She took a deep breath and nodded forcefully, her voice choked with emotion:

"I do."

Gu Yan smiled and slowly slipped the ring onto her ring finger.

The size is just right, and it fits perfectly.

He stood up, reached out and pulled her into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, whispering:

"I love you."

Shu Zi tiptoed and kissed him.

The fireworks behind us reached their climax at the same moment.

The entire night sky was illuminated as bright as day, and golden sparks poured down like a torrential rain.

The lights on the cruise ship lit up at the same time, spelling out the word "SHUZI" in the night, dazzling and unique, a mark that shines quietly on the sea.

A swarm of drones created a golden sea of ​​flowers in the sky, which then slowly drifted away.

He turned the entire night sky into the backdrop he gave to her.

In the audience, Su Yanhuan covered her mouth, tears already streaming down her face.

Jiang Yunyou stood to the side and silently handed over a tissue.

Han Jingxue leaned on Shen Yihuai's shoulder, a faint smile on her lips.

Shen Yihuai looked down at her and tightened his arms around her shoulders.

The entire beach, the entire night sky, the entire city seemed to be cheering for this moment.

The barrage of comments finally exploded at this moment, flooding the entire screen with blessings.

【Aaaaaaaahhhhhh, he proposed! He really proposed! I cried even harder than Zizi!】

[Waaaaah, me too, my tears just burst out!!!]

[From the age of eighteen until now, Gu Yan, how many years have you been secretly in love with him?! What kind of divine childhood sweetheart is this?!]

[Gu Yanshu! Happy Wedding!!! You two must be happy for the rest of your lives!!!]

"I treated you like a little sister," but it turns out you'd already had your eye on her, Mr. Gu!

[The diamond ring is so sparkly, the fireworks are so beautiful, her name is on the cruise ship, and there's even a drone-generated flower sea—Gu Yan, you really know how to be romantic!]

When Shuzi said I did, I burst into tears. My mom thought I had been beaten up.

[I do! She said yes! I declare tonight the happiest night on the entire internet!]

[Drone-covered flower fields!! Cruise ship lights!! This is incredible! Gu Yan, you've given her the entire night sky!]

[Childhood sweethearts + years of unrequited love + a grand marriage proposal – what kind of novel has come true?!]

[Waaaaah, my favorite couple finally got together! I've been following the show since the first episode, it was all worth it!]

The moment Gu Yan knelt down on one knee, I knew this man was serious!

The fireworks tonight are for her, the night sky is lit for her; Gu Yan's love has always been open and blatant!

[We don't have to film a second season, but you two must always be happy!]

[Director Liu, you knew all along, didn't you! I felt something was off about your smile before you left the stage! You kept it from us for so long!!]

The comments were still scrolling wildly when the screen suddenly froze.

Immediately afterwards, the live stream froze, the loading icon spun twice, and then a line of small text popped up:

"The network is malfunctioning, please try again later."

The server crashed.

At the same time, the top ten trending topics on Weibo were almost entirely dominated by the same name.

#Gu Yanshu proposes#

#Finale of "For Your Heart's Desire"#

#Gu Yan has had a crush on Shu Zi for many years#

#ShuziIsDoing#

#The server for "For Your Heart" crashed again#

#Happiness witnessed by the entire internet#

However, less than two minutes later, Weibo also couldn't handle the load.

The page won't refresh, comments can't be posted, and the trending topics list is completely blank.

Countless netizens flooded the backup topic and shouted wildly:

【Hey bro, you're broken too??? I knew it! You couldn't handle this tonight!】

[Server: I've been under pressure I shouldn't have to at my age]

[Weibo programmers, don't sleep tonight either, get up and work overtime, stay up late like me watching the live stream.]

[The whole internet is witnessing this happiness, and the whole internet is also crashing together, hahaha]

[The trending topics list crashed completely! Gu Yanshu, you guys are really something!]

When the page finally recovered, eight of the top ten trending topics already had a dark red "hot" tag next to them.

The top post, with just six simple words, garnered over 500 million views in just a few minutes.
