Chapter 3474: Diva, Diva (31)

Ning Shu had a very poor opinion of Yue Wenlun. When a beautiful woman appeared, he had eagerly run after her and dumped his girlfriend. Now that the woman had ruined him, he was pathetically trying to crawl back to his ex.

Did he have no principles or pride at all?

He actually thought his ex-girlfriend would stick by him through thick and thin, even after he had betrayed her.

He had no loyalty, no character, and no career. Even his looks were fading. What was the point of wanting a man like him?

What exactly was he offering?

Did she look that desperate? There were plenty of men in the world.

After Ning Shu hung up, Yue Wenlun tried to call again only to find he couldn’t get through. He was so angry he nearly smashed his phone. In his eyes, all these women were just materialistic.

Now that he had fallen from grace, these women treated him like he was the plague.

Ning Shu knew Yue Wenlun would be furious, but what did she care?

From beginning to end, she was the victim in this situation. Yue Wenlun was the one who cheated and unilaterally ended the relationship. He was the one who dallied with another woman and got caught up in a rape scandal.

She was the one in the right. The fault lay entirely with Yue Wenlun, not her.

Her position was logical and grounded in facts, leaving people with no way to attack her. Even if Yue Wenlun tried to lash out at her, his own lack of moral character meant his words would only be treated as a joke.

She loved being the ‘virtuous’ one while secretly causing trouble. It was a wonderful feeling.

She did bad things and no one noticed. Doing it all under the radar was truly satisfying!

Yue Wenlun spent his days obsessing over how to expose Qiao Ling’er’s true face. He even searched everywhere for evidence of her plastic surgery, but he found nothing.

Watching Qiao Ling’er’s fan base grow and seeing her shine on stage made him feel a resentment that felt like it was carved into his very bones. This was especially true now that several record labels had approached her, wanting to market her as a ‘talented musician’ and release an album.

It was infuriating. She had ruined him, yet she was rising higher and higher. It was maddening.

His enemy was doing better and better while he was likely finished for good. A raging fire burned in Yue Wenlun’s heart. He wished he could just take Qiao Ling’er down with him.

Despite Yue Wenlun’s hatred, Qiao Ling’er continued her musical journey. She signed with a record company, and the label required her to write her own songs to create a singer-songwriter image for her album.

Since she was building her own album, Qiao Ling’er chose the most beautiful and catchy songs. She filtered through everything the system had given her and handed over the lyrics and melodies.

Qiao Ling’er was somewhat afraid the company would claim her work as their own or give the songs to other singers. She insisted that every song she provided was essential for her album, and promised she would write other songs in the future.

According to the system, these songs were massive hits in other worlds that had been popular for a long time. She wanted to ensure she became an overnight sensation.

Once she established her position in the music world, she would have opportunities to interact with idols and famous singers, allowing her to slowly build up their affection levels.

To be honest, the songs Qiao Ling’er handed over were a bit of a mess. There were soft, indie-style tracks, upbeat bubblegum pop, and catchy, rhythmic songs that sounded like they belonged in a public square dance.

The music producer felt the selection was too chaotic and wanted to cut some of the songs. This made Qiao Ling’er unhappy, as she felt the company was just trying to steal her material.

The people at the record company: …

Was she trying to make a variety medley?

The songs were all good, but such a disorganized mix meant she wouldn’t have a distinct style of her own.

The record company representatives told her directly that if she didn’t want to release an album, they could just call the whole thing off.

Only then did Qiao Ling’er grudgingly allow some songs to be cut. Those rejected songs were immediately snatched up by other singers under the same label.

Qiao Ling’er was dying of rage. She knew these songs would become huge hits, and it felt like she was just giving them away to these people for free. She argued with the company, but they only gave her a symbolic amount of money in return.

Who cared about a little bit of money?

However, she was in a weak position right now. Once her fame grew, she would open her own music studio and never have to deal with these people again.

Qiao Ling’er spent her days in the recording studio, preparing her album and striving for perfection.

But then, trouble struck. Qiao Ling’er had produced so many songs, and some of the ones given to other singers caused a problem.

One of those singers was accused of plagiarism. He had performed a song on a show that turned out to be identical to another track.

The singer was also bewildered. His songs were provided by the company, and his only job was to sing them. Now, he was being labeled a plagiarist.

The singer felt terrible and confronted the company, asking why they had given him a stolen song.

As it turned out, that specific song was one a certain idol had been preparing for his own album. He had already begun rehearsals, and now that someone else had performed it first, his version was effectively ruined.

The idol’s camp demanded an explanation from the record company. “We have the rights to this song. We registered the copyright months ago. How did it leak out?”

They now demanded compensation and insisted on reviewing the record company’s other songs to see if there were more instances of plagiarism.

The lyrics and melodies were identical. If that wasn’t plagiarism, what was?

These songs were highly valued and were intended to be major releases. Now that they had been performed by someone else first, the advantage of a ‘fresh release’ was gone. The losses were self-evident.

Furthermore, the song was already becoming very popular online, making the first singer famous as well.

Even if they took the song back, that singer would always be the one who performed it first. Anyone else would just be seen as someone doing a cover.

It was enough to drive someone crazy with anger.

The record company was also stunned. These were supposed to be the original works of a talented new artist. How had they become plagiarized? However, the other party’s registration for the song dated back several months.

Upon further investigation, several other songs in Qiao Ling’er’s upcoming album were also found to have identical matches.

Qiao Ling’er’s recording sessions were going well until they were forced to a halt. Her album could no longer be released.

Not only would it not be released, but she might also face a lawsuit.

The company had signed a newcomer only for her to cause this kind of mess. She was a total jinx.

The record company had no choice but to demand that Qiao Ling’er provide an explanation.

Furthermore, any compensation the company had to pay would likely be passed on to her.

Qiao Ling’er was even more bewildered. How was it plagiarism again? Her materials were clearly provided by the system.

The system had told her they were from another world, so why were they appearing here?

Could there be other people from different worlds here? But why hadn’t they appeared?

What frustrated Qiao Ling’er even more was that the people she had ‘crashed’ into were the very idols and legendary lyricists she was supposed to capture.

Now that she was labeled a plagiarist, how was she supposed to build up their affection?

Forget about building affection—they likely loathed her now.

“I didn’t plagiarize! I really wrote these songs myself!” Qiao Ling’er tried to explain to the senior executives of the company, but they simply wouldn’t listen.
