Hot Search Alert! The Princess Goes Viral Worldwide-Chapter 108
Susu was in a dazed and listless state, her eyes devoid of life. When a person loses hope, they lose all motivation.
After all, she had no future left. It didn’t matter what her mother did anymore—she might as well consider it repayment for the debt of birth and upbringing.
On the way to the county town, Susu thought numbly, If only I were Nezha—then I could cut my flesh to repay my mother.
Throughout the entire betrothal process, Susu kept her head lowered, submissive and resigned, like a lifeless doll, letting Liu Dong handle her however she pleased.
Once Liu Dong received the betrothal gifts, she left Susu at the Zhao family’s house, saying the two should "cultivate their feelings."
Susu had already accepted her fate, but she never expected her mother to abandon her there so abruptly.
"Mom—" Susu reached out and grabbed Liu Dong’s sleeve.
Liu Dong slapped her hand away, visibly irritated. "What ‘mom’? Stop wailing like you’re calling a ghost. I’m not dead yet. Stay here and behave. If you cause any trouble, I’ll beat you half to death."
Liu Dong hit her hard, leaving the back of Susu’s hand red and stinging.
Susu hid her hand behind her back, silently rubbing the sore spot, her head still bowed.
And just like that, she was left alone at the Zhao family’s home.
Not long after Liu Dong left, the Zhao family suggested that Susu and Zhao Dabao should "get to know each other better." After all, they were practically childhood sweethearts now—Susu would have to take care of Zhao Dabao for the rest of her life, so they needed to get comfortable with each other.
Then, they locked Susu and Zhao Dabao in a room together.
Zhao Dabao was intellectually disabled, his mind underdeveloped, but his body was strong and robust. At just 18 years old, he stood at six feet tall and weighed over 250 pounds, looming like a small mountain.
When everyone had been sitting together earlier, Susu hadn’t felt afraid—she even thought Zhao Dabao looked cute, with his fair, chubby face.
Sure, he was a little slow, but he had a simple heart. Maybe they could even play together in the future.
But now, with everyone else gone and the two of them alone in the room, Susu felt suffocated.
"Hehe, wife." Zhao Dabao reached out to touch Susu’s face.
Susu recoiled in fear. "N-no, don’t come near me!"
Zhao Dabao had been spoiled rotten by his family—everyone indulged him. Seeing Susu resist, he immediately grew angry and swung his fist at her.
He had no self-control, and his strength was immense. The punch landed squarely on Susu’s head.
Just one hit, and her vision darkened, her mind going blank.
For a moment, she felt paralyzed, as if her soul had left her body.
"Wife, kiss." After punching her, Zhao Dabao leaned in to kiss her.
His family had taught him that once he had a wife, he could kiss and hug her whenever he wanted.
Though Zhao Dabao was mentally impaired, his body was that of a healthy adult man, driven by instinct.
He grabbed at Susu’s clothes, tearing at them.
Every time Susu tried to resist, he punched her again. Two blows later, she couldn’t move at all.
She lay on the ground like a broken doll.
Meanwhile, Gu Nanyan was rushing to Susu’s side.
She had already sent people to investigate, and the report came back—Liu Dong had taken Susu to the county town that morning for a matchmaking session.
"Disgusting!" Feng Chengxi clenched his fists in fury. "Susu isn’t even an adult yet. Liu Dong has gone too far—she deserves to die a hundred times over!"
Gu Nanyan’s movements didn’t go unnoticed. As the most talked-about figure at the moment, everyone’s eyes were on her.
So the moment she acted, Huo Sanchun caught wind of it.
Huo Sanchun frowned, surprised that Gu Nanyan cared so much about Susu.
When Gu Nanyan had remained silent the past few days, Huo Sanchun assumed she was like the rest of the entertainment industry—keeping her distance to avoid trouble. But now, she was putting aside her live broadcasts to find Susu.
With Gu Nanyan involved, things had escalated.
Huo Sanchun didn’t want to provoke her, so she immediately called Liu Dong, ordering her to take Susu away and hide for a while.
Liu Dong, thinking Huo Sanchun was calling to finalize payment, gloated, "Did I handle this well? Do you know where that girl Susu is now? I married her off—sent her to the county town. She’ll never stand in Jun Ya’s way again."
Huo Sanchun was stunned.
What? Married off?
Susu was only 16—how could she be married?
Liu Dong’s voice dripped with malice as she deliberately taunted Huo Sanchun, "Why can’t she get married? If no decent family would take her, then a fool will do. The Zhao family in the county has a mentally disabled son—I sent Susu to them."
"You’re insane!" Huo Sanchun exploded. "You absolute idiot! Go get Susu back right now—this is illegal!"
Huo Sanchun couldn’t control her anger. She wasn’t worried about Susu—she was afraid the situation would spiral out of control.
Who was Gu Nanyan? Not only was she the most influential figure online right now, but she was also the wife of the Zhan Family, one of the most powerful elite families. Her connections, resources, and wealth were unmatched.
If Susu had just been taken back to her hometown by her own mother, Gu Nanyan might have reluctantly stayed out of it—after all, it was a family matter.
But if Susu had been sold off? Gu Nanyan would be furious.
And if she launched a full investigation, Huo Sanchun wouldn’t escape unscathed.
Liu Dong remained dismissive, brushing off Huo Sanchun’s warnings. "What law did I break? I gave birth to Susu—I can do whatever I want with her. No one else has any say."
Time was running out. Huo Sanchun didn’t want to waste words. "Go get Susu back now and take her somewhere to hide. If you don’t, I won’t send you a single cent. Move!"
She hung up and immediately set out to intercept Gu Nanyan.
She couldn’t let Gu Nanyan see Susu in such a pitiful state.
People were naturally sympathetic—if Gu Nanyan witnessed Susu’s suffering, she would undoubtedly intervene, and Huo Junya might even face collateral damage.
With Gu Nanyan’s current influence, the slightest hint of disapproval from her would destroy Huo Junya’s career in the entertainment industry—and possibly drag Huo Sanchun down with her.

Huo Sanchun had spent years building her reputation in the industry, but against Gu Nanyan, she was nothing.
Gu Nanyan had fame, the backing of the Zhan Family, and immeasurable wealth.
Huo Sanchun’s meager influence was no match for overwhelming capital and public opinion.
Huo Sanchun acted swiftly, intercepting Gu Nanyan on the road. "Your Highness, I’d like to speak with you."
"About what?"
Gu Nanyan suddenly lifted her gaze, her eyes icy and piercing—enough to freeze Huo Sanchun’s blood in her veins.
Gu Nanyan had always been aloof and indifferent, never showing warmth to anyone.
Huo Sanchun had seen her from afar a few times, assuming she was the type whose cold exterior hid a soft heart—someone easily swayed by pity.
She had planned to play the victim to buy time.
But one look from Gu Nanyan shattered that illusion.
Huo Sanchun struggled to steady herself enough to speak, but before she could, Gu Nanyan’s brow furrowed sharply.
"Seize her," she commanded. "Move faster—Susu is in danger!"
As the Princess of Zhenguo, regent of the nation, no one could deceive her—unless she allowed it.
Huo Sanchun's little scheme was laid bare before her, as transparent as a child's game of make-believe.
Her frantic rush to intercept could only mean one thing—something had happened to Susu, and she was desperate to keep Gu Nanyan from finding out!
