In the first 24 hours, her post about the show reached over 3 million likes.
The episode's viewership broke records, and it was clear that people had fallen for her blend of humor, competitiveness, and generosity.
By the end of the day, she had gained over 100,000 new followers, and articles about her win and her memorable gesture flooded the media.
It was a surprising breakthrough.
After almost a decade in the entertainment industry, Chen Lin had never participated in variety shows, or any shows outside of acting.
Now, with just one appearance, she had opened a new door for herself—and the audience couldn't get enough.
That evening, Chen Lin had just wrapped up her shoot. She had no idea how much traction the episode had already gained since it aired that afternoon.
Just as she was getting ready to leave after filming, Director Peng called her over, along with the others.
