Qin Jingfei looked over at her cousin and asked with a voice full of disbelief: "Allergy man?!"

Although Qin Song maintained an outwardly cold expression; he cringed internally at being called allergy man.  Yet again, Qin Song couldn't figure out what he had done to upset Li Xiuying. Maybe it's that time of the month? 

A few of his friends who were married often complained that their wives would be more irritable and easier to anger when it's that time of the month. One term that was thrown around was "emotionally unstable." 

Qin Jingfei saw that Qin Song was in deep thought and refusing to answer her. She turned to Elder Qin: "Uncle, why do you think Dr. Li got so angry? Did she want to go back to Emerald hospital? Maybe she still has feelings for that Ex- fiancé otherwise what difference does it make is she operates here or there?"

Qin Song felt his chest tighten and a bitter taste in his mouth. 'The reason Li Xiuying was angry was because she still has feelings ex-fiancé?!'

Qin Jingfei looked over at Qin Song: "Are you okay? You look very uncomfortable right now."
Qin Song rubbed his chest: "Acid reflux." 

Elder Qin: "Why would she ask to have the article published?"

Qin Jingfei turned back to Elder Qin with a look of shock: "What?! Dr. Li was the one who asked you to publish the article?" Qin Jingfei thought back to the night that Li Xiuying asked to speak to her uncle alone. 

Qin Jingfei: "Mmm, then it's definitely not residual feelings. Oh I've got it!"

Elder Qin: "What is it?" 

Qin Jingfei: "Dr. Li probably wanted to exact some more revenge! She probably wanted that Chen family to come to her on their knees begging her to do the surgery."

Qin Song: "That is a possibility."
Qin Song felt the tightness in his chest disappear. 

Qin Jingfei: "Of Course it is. Think about it. For years that cousin and ex-fiancé have been having an affair and flaunting their 'love' in public and she was still expected to still marry him. Do you think it's enough just to publish one article? Besides that article may have shamed those two adulterers but it also allowed them to be together. Would you want the people who betrayed you to be happily planning their future together?! Hell No! If I was Dr. Li I wouldn't stop until they vomited a sea of blood!" 

Elder Qin sighed: "Xiuying must have been angry that she couldn't address her grievances herself."
Qin Jingfei stood up and poured tea for the three of them. 

Elder Qin looked over at Qin Song. His tone serious: "Song. Why did Xiuying call you allergy man? And don't think I've forgotten that you haven't explained why she locked you in the office."

Qin Jingfei stirred her tea: "Dr. Li Locked Qin Song in her office?"

Elder Qin: "He was stuck in there for over 2 hours."

Qin Jingfei started laughing; "I've often heard women want to lock you in their rooms, but I always thought that it meant they wanted to be locked in there with you. I now know better."

Elder Qin started chuckling on hearing Qin Jingfei's mocking Qin Song and her infectiously laughter. The image of Qin Song's frustrated face when he went to go and unlock the office door appeared in his mind and caused him to laugh even harder.

Qin Song walked to the door and reached for the handle. 

Qin Jingfei started speaking like a commentator: "Oh no! The CEO of Qin Enterprises Qin Song is faced with his arch nemesis ... A door! How will he ever overcome this obstacle?" This started off another round of laughter.

Qin Song pulled open the door and left; leaving behind the two laughing hyena's. 

...

Li Xiuying's office

Li Xiuying was in a foul mood as she sat at her desk. She decided to take some time to readjust her mood and to think of another plan of attack to deal with Yang Zian. 

Li Xiuying: "Jiang Huan. Contact B and F.  B at 10:30. F at 12:30."

Jiang Huan was typing away at her desk replied: "Yes Dr. Li."

Jiang Huan spun her chair around so she faced Li Xiuying, she could tell Dr. Li was not in a good mood but she had something that she desperately needed to ask.

Jiang Huan asked tentatively: "Dr. Li I know you're busy but could I have a moment of your time? There was actually something I wanted to ask you."

Li Xiuying kept staring at her computer screen. Jiang Huan took Li Xiuying's silence as permission to continue. 

Jiang Huan cleared her throat before speaking again: "Dr. Li, could I possibly leave work early today? You see I have a family gathering at 5 pm today; it's my two year old niece's birthday. I completely forgot about it until my mother phoned me this morning to check if I had forgotten about the party. Haha, she knows me so well considering that if she hadn't called I would have missed the birthday party entirely. So that's why I wasn't able to tell you in advanced.. erm... because I had completely forgotten." She laughed nervously.

Li Xiuying looked away fromm her computer screen and straight at Jiang Huan.

Li Xiuying assessed Jiang Huan who was currently nervously biting her bottom lip trying to avoid making eye contact.

She noticed that Jiang Huan had done her makeup differently and there was more of it. Jiang Huan had put on fake eye lashes as well as a darker lipstick. Her foundation looked thicker and she was wearing blush. Jiang Huan's eyeliner was more prominent highlighting her eyes. Her nails were done and painted a deep red. Jiang Huan's hair looked sleek and shiny and was framing her face.

Li Xiuying glanced at the office door. Hanging on the coat hook there was a full length zipped protective clothes cover. Similar to what you would get when picking up something from the dry cleaners. 

Li Xiuying looked back at Jiang Huan and then at her shoes; she was wearing 6 inch pencil heels. 

From Jiang's Huan's make up, extra outfit, nervous demeanor and over explaining/rambling Li Xiuying could easily deduce that Jiang Huan was lying. Jiang Huan was clearly going on a date. There were many holes and contradictions in Jiang Huan's story and her actions. One being if someone was going to a two year old's birthday would they were such seductive heavy makeup and high heels? 

As the seconds slowly ticked by Jiang Huan became even more nervous under Li Xiuying's assessing gaze. She didn't want to lie to Li Xiuying, but how could she ask to leave early for a date?

2 minutes had passed and Li Xiuying still didn't speak a word. She was waiting to see if Jiang Huan's conscience would make an appearance. 

Jiang Huan berated herself in her mind. 'I'm such an idiot! I should have pushed harder to change the time of the date! Dr. Li probably thinks I'm the worst employee ever.' This was only her fourth actual day at work and she had already been extremely late and caught making a personal phone call. 
 
Li Xiuying finally spoke: "You may leave at four." Li Xiuying was interested in seeing what Jiang Huan would do in the future. 

Jiang Huan felt relief immediately sweep over her. 

Jiang Huan: "Thank you so much Dr. Li. I promise this won't happen again."

Jiang Huan turned back around to begin typing up the emails to send to B and F. 

Li Xiuying looked at Jiang Huan's back. She knew that if her suspicions were correct about the rescuer then Jiang Huan would be used as a mere pawn.

Li Xiuying smirked a little 'Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.'

She then turned back to look at her computer screen. Her face absent of any emotion.

Li Xiuying is the youngest surgeon the world has ever seen. 

Once upon a time, her work had meaning; to save lives. But soon surgery lost all of its meaning to her, she became an operating machine. She didn’t even meet the patient until they were unconscious on her surgical table like a piece of meat waiting to be carved. 

She neglected love, friendship, beauty, her health all to work tirelessly like a dog and continue to make her family happy. Even when she had no more left to give; they made sure she gave.

But betrayal came swiftly and suddenly and Li Xiuying met her untimely end at the hands of her most trusted and loves ones. 

All the world’s a stage and it seems it is not yet time for Li Xiuying to exit. She finds herself waking up in her bed, 8 years in the past.
 
She is granted a second chance at life.

............................................................................................

This is a slow romance novel 

The novel may have realistic elements but it is a Work of Fiction.

There will be medical cases and scenario's included due to the main character (Li Xiuying) being a doctor. I have tried my best to explain as much of the medical terminology as possible.

...........................................................................................

Qiao Lian knew that if not for the scoop she had uncovered regarding Wang Wenhao, the managing editor would not want to embarrass the chief editor over a mere reporter like her.
But now, she had achieved a total victory in this workplace battle. 
Qiao Lian hid the smile on her lips and said, "Managing editor, please don't. If the chief editor goes, won't our department be in a state of total disunity?"
The managing editor immediately said, "Then why don't you act as the team leader for your department? For this next week, you will be the one that is responsible for your team's performance."
As he finished speaking, the managing editor smiled again, "Actually, I have been considering creating another team in the Entertainment News Department. Motivation only arises from competition—Qiao Lian, do your best!" 
As she heard his words, Qiao Lian's eyes immediately lit up! 
When the managing editor and the chief editor left, Qiao Lian turned her head and looked at Su Meimei, whose face had already turned pale.
Qiao Lian still had a huge grievance between her and Su Meimei to settle!
Back when they went to the filming site to intercept Shen Liangchuan, Su Meimei had purposely pushed her and caused her to bang into his car.
At the party, Su Meimei had purposely told everybody that she was a reporter.
She looked at Su Meimei and suddenly smiled strangely, "Su Meimei, if I remember correctly, the drama The Song of the Large Desert was lacking a reporter to specifically cover them. You should go and serve that role."
The Song of the Large Desert was shot entirely in the desert. One could imagine how terrible the shooting environment would be.
Su Meimei became frantic all at once, "Qiao Lian, you—"
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Qiao Lian, who said harshly, "Su Meimei, whether you go is up to you. However, if you choose not to go, then scram now!" 
Su Meimei's eyes turned red. 
Scram?
She could never do that!
"OK, I'll go!"
——
One week passed in a blink of an eye.
During this period of time, Qiao Lian adjusted herself and was now leading an extremely fulfilling life.
Only when she occasionally thought about the life she had led during those four days, did she place both her hands on her small belly involuntarily. Had she gotten pregnant during that time?
"Big news, big news!" As she stared blankly, a colleague ran over and said, "Xiao Lu snapped a photo of Best Actor Shen and Liu Mei stepping out of a hotel together!"
When Qiao Lian heard this, she raised her head in astonishment.
"I can't believe it! Best Actor Shen has just clarified his relationship with Yang Lingsi. Why did another person appear? Is this all just preparations for his new movie?"
"Every year, there are so many rumors and plenty of gossip about Best Actor Shen. One more is nothing." 
"What do you know! All the previous gossip surrounding him was groundless accusations. However, this time the relationship seems to be real! Many reporters have taken photos of this. Tell me, do all of you think that Liu Mei is Mrs. Shen?"
Qiao Lian drooped her head. It felt as though a ball of cotton was blocking up her heart.
Darn it, can't this Shen Liangchuan just be silent and not cause trouble for one second?
"OK, what's the point of saying all this?" Someone looked towards Qiao Lian and said, "Qiao Lian, should we publish this piece of news?"
Qiao Lian raised her head and said, "Do it!"
Why should she not publish it? Many reporters had snapped pictures of it, so they were probably preparing reports for their news agencies right now.
That afternoon, Qiao Lian was writing an article when the managing editor called over and said excitedly, "Qiao Lian! The filming crew of Ambition has accepted our interview! Tonight, I have specifically booked the VIP compartment for Ambition. This is a great honor for our news agency. I do not trust anyone else to attend this event, so you should go there yourself!"
Qiao Lian was stupefied.
Wasn't the leading actor for Ambition Shen Liangchuan?
However, Shen Liangchuan had never cared about doing publicity events. As such, the person they were interviewing tonight couldn't be him.
However that night, when Qiao Lian pushed open the door to the compartment, what she saw left her dumbfounded! 
Could someone tell her why Best Actor Shen was actually sitting inside the compartment?! 


They say the greatest blessing is marrying the idol you always dreamed of.

But Qiao Lian knows that reality is different...

The Internet claims that Best Actor Shen Liangchuan is a male god who is unaffected by any sexual drive, but Qiao Lian vehemently disagrees. It's a lie!

After finally carrying out the contract, Qiao Lian burst out, "I want a divorce! I don't want such a life!"

As Song Shuhang and the others were busy paying attention to the live broadcast, nobody noticed the changes that were happening to the virtuous lamia behind them.
"Senior Copper Trigram's shady divinations are stronger than I thought." Song Shuhang clenched his teeth helplessly.
He thought that he had managed to put an end to Copper Trigram's shady divinations, becoming [Song 'Super Awesome' Shuhang]. However, it seemed that Copper Trigram still got the last laugh in the end, and he was the same as before, [Song 'Not So Awesome' Shuhang].
In the live broadcast, Profound Sage Melon Eater—who had shrunk by an entire size, and was now wearing Song Shuhang's face—had no choice but to stand still and get beaten black and blue by Sage Monarch Winter Melon.
Perhaps tomorrow, this scene would be published by the reporters and spread throughout the cultivation world.
Song Shuhang sighed, and said, "I wonder how the Daily Cultivator will deal with the events that took place today... Will they first publish the story of 'Profound Sage Tyrannical Song beating up Sage Monarch Winter Melon'? Or would they first publish the story of 'Profound Sage Winter Melon beating up Sage Monarch Melon Eater'?"
As he was talking, he suddenly felt that there was something wrong taking place behind him.
As such, he turned around.
The next moment, he was blinded.
Behind him, the virtuous lamia had turned into a dazzling giant sun. The golden light of virtue was shining so brightly that made it impossible for him to see, thus causing Song Shuhang to be suddenly blinded.
Wasn't this the same sure-kill technique that Sage Monarch Melon Eater had used? This technique was not only powerful, but it also had the 'Solar Flare' effect of blinding people's eyes.
How could the virtuous lamia have learned this move?
Song Shuhang hurriedly said, "Stop, stop right away." 
The move was too powerful, and it was not inferior to the ❮Heaven Burning Flaming Saber Technique❯ that he and Scarlet Heaven Sword had slashed out together. If he were to let the virtuous lamia continue using the ❮Virtuous Giant Sun❯, only God knew what would happen.
After Song Shuhang gave the order, the growth of the ❮Virtuous Giant Sun❯ the virtuous lamia had created slowly came to a stop, ending up as a small sun with a diameter of two meters.
The rays of light on the sun fluctuated, making it look like it could explode at any moment.
Su Clan's Sixteen, Shi, and Little Cai all slowly backed away from the virtuous lamia.
"Cancel the ❮Virtuous Giant Sun❯ first," Song Shuhang ordered.
Within the little sun, the virtuous lamia's figure twisted slowly.
After about three breaths of time, the round and blinding little sun slowly vanished. After that, the virtuous lamia tilted her head and looked at Song Shuhang. The beauty mark at the corner of her eye made her look charming even when she was acting stupid.
Song Shuhang asked, "Did you learn how to use ❮Virtuous Giant Sun❯ after watching Sage Monarch Melon Eater just now?" 
However, a Profound Sage's sure-kill technique such as that wasn't like broadcast gymnastics—how in the world did she learn it so fast?
Or... could it be that the virtuous lamia originally knew the technique, and she remembered it after seeing Sage Monarch Melon Eater use it?
The virtuous lamia did not tilt her head to look cute once again. After hearing the name ❮Virtuous Giant Sun❯, she stretched out her hands and rubbed her temples vigorously.
Could she be thinking?
Song Shuhang's eyes brightened; he tried to roll his tongue to call out a name in the language of the ancient era. "Fairy ＠#％■?"
He had recently learned a few more phrases in the language of the ancient era, so he was now able to roll his tongue more naturally. However, this was the first time he tried to pronounce the name of the virtuous lamia.
Song Shuhang hoped that he could stimulate her by calling out her name.
Unfortunately... when he got to the last syllable, his tongue wasn't rolled correctly, so he ended up mispronouncing her name.
The virtuous lamia raised her head and stared silently at Song Shuhang. Her eyes seemed to have lit up.
Was she finally going to experience some sort of change?
Song Shuhang and Su Clan's Sixteen stared nervously at the virtuous lamia.
At this time, gentle background music suddenly started coming from the virtuous lamia.
She opened her mouth, and in conjunction with the gentle music, she slowly said, "Even if I... forget your name, forget your appearance, I will never forget you. I've accompanied you in your past dreams, so I shall continue accompanying you in the future~"
Song Shuhang: "..."
Su Clan's Sixteen asked, "What's she trying to say?" 
Loli Shi replied, "She should be reciting a line from a movie I watched recently. It sounds quite familiar." 
The monster bird Little Cai said, "Teacher, did you mispronounce her name?" 
Song Shuhang said, "Seems like it. I should have mispronounced the last syllable. But the pronunciation for that syllable is too weird, my tongue simply won't curl the way I want it to."
Su Clan's Sixteen said, "Can't you try calling out her name again?"
The state of the virtuous lamia was too weird... As such, Su Clan's Sixteen hoped in her heart that the relationship between the lamia and Song Shuhang would become clearer for the benefit of everyone.
Song Shuhang rolled his tongue again, trying to call out her name. "Fairy＠#％◆? No, it's wrong again."
The eyes of the virtuous lamia narrowed.
"She reacted." Shi, who was sharp-eyed, noticed that while Song Shuhang was reciting the first half of the virtuous lamia's name in the ancient language, her expression was rapidly changing.
"Senior Brother Song, perhaps she'll change when you recite her name correctly?" Shi said again.
Song Shuhang rubbed his cheeks. After that, he tried again several times, but every time, he ended up failing at the last syllable.
Song Shuhang smiled bitterly, and said, "If I continue, I'm afraid I'll forget modern Mandarin as well; her name is simply too strange." 
While he was talking, the virtuous lamia, who was in front of him, suddenly moved.
She raised her head and stared at the 'live broadcast'.
In the live broadcast, Profound Sage Melon Eater had been shattered once again under the laborious strikes of Sage Monarch Winter Melon.
However, just like before, after his virtuous body got shattered, he soon came back.
He was now half the size of how big he previously was, making him only a quarter as big as the original.
Sage Monarch Winter Melon asked, "Senior Melon Eater, do you want me to come at you again?" 
Profound Sage Melon Eater: "..."
It seemed that each time he was taken down, he would become half the size he previously was.
It looked like a few more deaths would release him from the secret technique, but who really knew how many times he was going to be halved? Could it be 10 times? Or even 100 times?
"No, you don't have to come at me again," Senior Melon Eater said slowly.
Sage Monarch Winter Melon asked, "Is it really fine not to deal with the secret technique?" 
Melon Eater replied, "I've thought about it... and I've decided to bring this 'virtuous body' straight back to where my main body is. I need to take a closer look at what this 'virtuous body' exactly is. Perhaps... I can learn something useful from it."
Melon Eater had already been stuck in the Profound Sage realm for a long time. He had thought that there was no longer any hope for him to reach the next realm, but now, he seemed to have found new hope.
Perhaps this was his chance.
But... he had to make haste.
His main body was still at Mount Hua, which was a fair distance away from here. Although possessing the 'virtuous body' secret technique was convenient, if the secret method was not canceled in time, there could be quite the dangerous aftereffects.
This was why he had originally wanted to deal with the secret technique and return quickly.
But now, he changed his mind.
He decided to directly return to his main body while in the virtuous body and study it. It no longer mattered if there were dangerous aftereffects. If this research could take him one step further toward the Tribulation Transcender Realm, then it would be worth suffering those strong aftereffects.
Melon Eater gravely said, "I don't have much time, Winter Melon... Continue treading forward on your own path. We shall meet again if fate wills it."
Sage Monarch Winter Melon nodded, and said, "All right. Take care, Senior Melon Eater!"
Profound Sage Melon Eater smiled slightly. Then, the virtuous body stood up, and flew towards the sky.
He flew and flew. He flew past mountains, past grasslands...
But then, he felt that something was wrong. "Strange, have I been flying in the wrong direction?"
Inside the Inner World.
Song Shuhang: "..."
Sage Monarch Melon Eater's flight was indeed quite problematic. After going around in a circle, he flew straight towards Song Shuhang and the others before arriving right before the entrance to the Inner World.
Needless to say, it had to be due to the influence of the virtuous lamia.
Soon, Sage Monarch Melon Eater descended to the ground.
He stood where Song Shuhang and the others used to be when they entered the Inner World. However, he had no way of entering the Inner World, and could only go around it.
Shi asked, "Senior Brother Song, do we let him in?" 
Song Shuhang shook his head.
The Inner World was his most important secret. As he and Sage Monarch Melon Eater were unfamiliar with each other, he naturally couldn't let the other party in.
Song Shuhang asked, "I'll go out and meet him. Fellow Daoist Scarlet Heaven, do you want to go with me?" 
Scarlet Heaven Sword said, "Let me go, let me go! I'm telling you, I'm a divine weapon, I have dignity!"
The virtuous lamia lifted her head. A 'gulp~' sound could be heard as she swallowed Scarlet Heaven Sword.
Song Shuhang: "..."
Well, it looked like there was no need to ask Scarlet Heaven Sword to come. As long as he brought the virtuous lamia, Scarlet Heaven Sword had no choice but to accompany him out.
❄️❄️❄️
Sage Monarch Melon Eater stood in place, and suddenly got a strange feeling. As such, he no longer continued hurrying around, and instead stopped and waited silently.
After a while, spatial fluctuations appeared before his eyes.
Later, a handsome young man appeared in front of him out of thin air. Behind this young man was a light of virtue that had transformed into a lamia.
Sage Monarch Melon Eater immediately recognized the young man.
The first Sage in 1000 years, Profound Sage Tyrannical Song.
After all, it was only the other day that the other party showed his divinity, and the content of his 'Profound Sage Speech' was also quite good.
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Melon Eater." Song Shuhang greeted Profound Sage Melon Eater as the fellow daoists of the Nine Provinces Number One Group greeted each other.
...At the same time, the corners of his mouth twitched—at this moment, Sage Monarch Melon Eater's face looked just like his.
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Song," Sage Monarch Melon Eater replied. Afterward, he asked, "Did Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Song lead me here?"
Song Shuhang shook his head, and said, "I didn't really lead you here, Fellow Daoist. It's just that when you used your secret technique, Fellow Daoist, you happened to descend on my light of virtue."
Sage Monarch Melon Eater said, "So that's the case. Then, Fellow Daoist, can you please take your virtue bac—"
Halfway through his words, he suddenly paused.
Afterward, he reached out and groped around his chest, and eventually found and brought out a divinatory bamboo stick.


One day, Song Shuhang was suddenly added to a chat group with many seniors that suffered from chuuni disease. The people inside the group would call each other ‘Fellow Daoist’ and had all different kinds of titles: Palace Master, Cave Lord, True Monarch, Immortal Master, etc. Even the pet of the founder of the group that had run away from home was called ‘monster dog’. They would talk all day about pill refining, exploring ancient ruins, or share their experience on techniques.
However, after lurking inside the group for a while, he discovered that not all was what it seemed... 

She really managed to spot her.
In the crowd, a petite girl was wearing a black dress and a baseball cap. Her beautiful jaw was exposed below her sunglasses. With one look, Xia Yu definitely recognized her. It was that b*tch Ye Xingling!
"Xia Yu! Xia Yu! Xia Yu!"
"Streak! Streak! Streak!"
The crowd was as crazy as yesterday as they anticipated her to create a miracle.
In the midst of the cheers, Xia Yu smiled as she lifted her microphone. "Actually, it's such a pity that I lost to Ye Xingling during that last song yesterday."
The emcee of the quiz activity received benefits from Imperial's public relations team and supported her in her speech. "That was because our Xia Yu was too tired after singing for so long and lost because of physical exhaustion." Yesterday, although Xia Ling tried to hinder Xia Yu from saying that she lost due to physical exhaustion by challenging her to another fair battle.
However, even though Xia Yu couldn't mention it, people who supported her could talk about it. This emcee knew how to handle the situation and helped Xia Yu say things that she could not. 
Xia Yu showed a reserved smile. "Don't say that. I lost. However, I actually still want to compete with Ye Xingling again. I wonder if she's also very good at answering intelligent questions?"
The emcee replied, "I believe that everyone is very curious about what the result would be if two singers competed against each other. However, it's such a pity that Ye Xingling is not here."
"I think I saw her." Xia Yu said.
Xia Ling finally realized that something was off. She only wanted to witness the uproar. Why was she getting the attention suddenly? When it came to intelligent quizzes, she couldn't match up to her sister and was unwilling to go on stage to compete with her because she would definitely lose. Why would she agree and satisfy the enemy?
However, it was too late to escape.
All of the spectators were looking around and trying to find her. Furthermore, Xia Yu was staring at her. If she left, she would embarrass herself. 
Xia Ling was furious. She took out her phone to call Li Lei. "Didn't you say that you wanted to publish the technical report? Why haven't you done so? She's getting more arrogant now."
Li Lei was not at the scene today because he was busy with official business. As he attacked Imperial Entertainment impressively, and Pei Ziheng recently launched a counter-attack, Li Lei couldn't help but put in more effort to deal with him.
After receiving Xia Ling's call, Li Lei immediately assured her that he would publish it immediately.
Xia Ling said, "I'll give you a time limit of one minute." Then, she hung up.
On the stage, with Xia Yu's help, the emcee found her. "Ye Xingling! It turns out that Ye Xingling is here!" She pointed at Xia Ling with a surprised look. "What a coincidence. Have you been watching Xiao Yu's competition? How about you come on stage and try it out. IQ quizzes are very interesting, and if you win, there will be small prizes."
Everyone turned around to look at her.
"So that's Ye Xingling."
"Ah! I can't believe that she was beside me for so long!"
"She looks smaller in real life than on stage. How cute."
"Ye Xingling! Ye Xingling! Give me a signature!" A few excited fans already rushed towards her.
Xia Ling secretly cursed the emcee for being wicked. It was impossible that she did not know how it felt like to be a celebrity in a crowd, but she still revealed her identity. Was she deliberately trying to go against her?
However, she had no choice but to deal with the swarming crowd. With security officers escorting her, she rushed over to the edge of the stage.
"Ye Xingling, you're finally here." Xia Yu smiled weakly, hiding her true intentions.
Xia Ling quietly counted the time in her heart. More than two minutes had passed.
She also smiled at Xia Yu. "Actually, I'm very surprised that you're still standing on this stage. I heard that singers who seriously violated the rules of the music festival would be disqualified. Why haven't the organizers looked for you yet?"
Xia Yu was slightly startled. "What do you mean?"
The emcee thought that she was talking about the last song of yesterday's competition and said, "During the last song yesterday, Xia Yu did break the rules, but it's not considered a serious violation." The music festival only counted lip-syncing of three or more songs a serious violation.
The emcee said, "The past is in the past. Xiao Ling, you shouldn't keep picking on Xiao Yu. Let's talk about today's IQ quiz. Do you have the courage to accept Xiao Yu's challenge?" 
"Even if I wanted to accept it, I can't accept the challenge of a serious violator of the rules." Xia Ling smiled and only hoped that Li Lei was able to save her in time. "Just now, when I checked my phone, I saw an interesting post which said that Xia Yu was lip-syncing from the start to the end during yesterday's competition. Why, haven't you seen the post yet?"
Before the people on stage could react, the audience below quickly took out their phones to check the news. Sure enough, in a short span of a few minutes, the news was blowing up on the internet—
[A deep technical analysis reveals that Xia Yu was lip-syncing from the start to the end during the arena contest.]
[She refused to admit responsibility since she was not exposed live. Since she was only caught red-handed for one song, Xia Yu only admitted to lip-syncing for that one song. How could she be this shameless?]
[The way Xia Yu admitted her mistake showed that this was not the first time she lip-synced. She has experience doing it.]
[The public urges the organizers to disqualify the singer who lip-synced to ensure that the music festival is fair again.]
The news articles were trending, and a commotion quickly started below the stage. "It turns out that Xia Yu lip-synced from the start to the end yesterday. Why is she still qualified to stand here today?"
"Exactly. She was already given a chance to admit her mistakes yesterday but still protested and only admitted to lip-syncing once. Does she not feel the shame?"
"So what if she's intelligent? She has no morals!"
"We don't welcome fraudulent people and those who lack morals here! Xia Yu, get lost!"
"Get off the stage!"
Waves of shouts that were louder than yesterday were heard.
Xia Yu was caught off guard, and her face turned pale. She could no longer smile. The emcee besides her was also bewildered. Only Xia Ling was smiling in this storm. "It's really such a pity. I can't believe that you lip-synced from the start to the end. Xia Yu, you can leave the stage of the IQ quiz now. I have to say goodbye to you now because I'm afraid I won't be able to see you anymore during this music festival."
Xia Yu's face was ashen with a very distorted expression.
At this time, a staff member walked on the stage and said something to the emcee.
The color was drained off the emcee's face, and she said somewhat awkwardly to Xia Yu, "I'm sorry Miss Xia Yu, but I just received a notice from the organizer which has determined that you severely violated the rules and are unsuitable to continue participating in the music festival. Please leave the stage."
She had no choice. Although she received money from Imperial Entertainment, the music festival rules were final.
Before Xia Yu could say anything, the crowd was already drowning her in boos. She could only stumble down the stage hurriedly. Many angry fans directly ran towards her, wanting to surround and hit her.
The scene was a mess.


She died in her prime as the Queen of Song.

After being reincarnated, she becomes a simple trainee. 

Losing her former glory? It doesn't matter—no one can compete with her voice as a beautiful singer.

Mocked by her lowly birth? It doesn't matter—her true identity is enough to make the whole world tremble. 

She owes huge debts? It doesn't matter... 

A powerful boss once whispered to her, "Your debt will disappear if you become my woman." 

But the proud her would reply, "I'm sorry. I would sell my art, but not myself." 
———————————————— 
This is the story of the Queen of Song, return to the peak... and an overbearing chairman.

You might have read the comic, but here's the novel that it was adapted from!

"Mr. Reeves, are these documents authentic? You know that we can't publish slander this serious, especially when the people involved go all the way to the top. If we do publish this and it turns out to be slander our careers would be gone." 

Nodding at the woman that asked that question he slightly smirked as he responded. 

"Of course, every single piece of information in those folders is real, and while if it turned out false you would probably have your careers ruined since it is all real I bet you all know what benefits it could do to your careers."

Hearing that it was all real, the reporters' breath started to get heavy as it finally dawned on her the importance of the documents right next to her. Even though she wanted to believe him, she still had her doubts. 

"If such horrible things really did happen, wouldn't they be arrested? There would be countless victims, surely they wouldn't be able to cover it all up?"

Laughing coldly at her question, Julian sneered as he answered. 

"You really think those governments and police forces would do anything? They don't care as long as they get their percentage, besides, all the victims are incredibly poor people, who would bother to help them? Even if there is a lot of victims they don't have any money to go find someone to help them, and even if they did have the money, if they ever decide to complain or try to press charges the will probably be arrested and sent to prison, They don't have any rights, nor the power to change their fate. Without any outside help, they are unable to stop what is happening."

Receiving such a sharp rebuke the journalist decided to sit back down and read the rest of the folders. The more they read, the more astonished they got. 

By the time that they finished all of the files, their faces had gone green and red with disgust and anger, mixed in with the documents where piles of pictures which gave them a visual presentation which invoked feelings that the statistics and documentation never could. 

"Now that everyone has finished looking through the folders shall we discuss what we are going to do now?" 

Receiving no voices of disagreement Julian continued. 

"The entire project will be split into three parts, the first part will be taken care of by all of you immediately. Your job is to split up the work and start releasing articles about the victims of the offenders on the surface. By the time that the world finds out what is happening that people on top will try to distance themselves from the incident. We will then wait to see what kind of excuses they will make and give them some time to calm down before releasing the information on the main offenders and victims."

When Julian talked about releasing the information Julian showed a bloodthirsty simile. 

"By the time that they realize what is happening the entire incident will have become too big for them to handle, it is then that the third and last stage of the plan will spring into action. The third stage is actually the easiest for you as you just need to post a link to a website on your news outlets, the website will have the names, pictures, and a full list of offences of the people that we are accusing. We will also include some private information such as where they live, where they work, and their hometown. This way everyone will be able to find out who committed these offences and whether or not they actually got convicted." 

As soon as Julian finished speaking he got bombarded with questions. He didn't really care though, after handing everything off on his secretary Julian walked out the door and slowly strolled towards the elevator. 

His sparkling green eyes stared forward but his mind had drifted somewhere else. As Julian walked out the door and slowly strolled towards the elevator, the warm sun started to softly shine brightly on Julian's front. Dazzling as it was, the radiant sun only served to highlight the darkness resting on his back. 

While his feet gently rose and fell as he was elegantly walking, Julian pulled out a pair of earplugs and his smartphone, he swiped over to his music app and picked a song that he was familiar with. 

The lyrics of "Please forgive me" by Bryan Adams softly drifted into his ears as he recalled his sort, but sweet encounter with Zhi Rou.

When he first heard the song he thought Bryan Adams was full of himself, after all, why should he have to be forgiven for loving someone? Wasn't it everyone's right to choose his or her love? Even if the love wasn't reciprocated, it wasn't anything to scoff at or ask forgiveness for. 

By coincidence, he was listening to this song when he first saw Zhi Rou. It was the first time that he ever felt such a foreign emotion, his heart started to speed up and his legs started to tingle like they wanted nothing more than to walk over to her. 

He had just finished putting away his headphones when she had actually started walking over to him with her friend. 

The next few moments were a blur, he didn't even remember how she ended up falling onto him or what he said to her. He only remembered the soft feel of he waist and cheeks blushed in a red hue like a peach.

The rest of the day was like a fairy-tale, unfortunately, this one did not have a happy ending. When he realized that he could not keep him by his side and that their might be a time in the future that she would have to leave him he decided that he would become someone truly powerful like his mother. 

When he decided this though, he did not know the current state of affairs in his mothers 'empire'. It was only when he got off the plane and saw the strict security that he realized that things might not be so simple. 

Hard work doesn't always create miracles, he would have to give up on his original play of talking to her every day on the phone any flying over to meet her on the days that he was free and hope that by the time that he was finished with the work she still remembered him. 

In the midst of his daydream, Julian was interrupted by someone snapping their long white fingers with blue nails in front of his face. 

Startled he looked at the woman who rudely awoke him from his memories, seeing who it was he furrowed his brow and asked, "Why are you here, I thought you went home?"

One wrong decision could change your life forever. 

It could be the difference between living with your perfect half, the special someone who makes you wake up in the morning with butterflies in your stomach just because you know they will be sleeping gently right next to you when you awaken. 

Or living your life alone, without having somebody to weather the storms of life with, without a lifelong friend and companion to enjoy and share your achievements, passions, and sorrows. 

Turning what was once a hopeful journey, into a search for that lighthouse to guide you back home. 

 An empty life filled with regrets of what could have been instead of expectations and excitement over what is occurring. 

Simply existing, without feeling the true delight of being able to actually live. 

All because the one that brought colour into your world is not there anymore and has taken away the glow that they once brought with them away again.

"Ding! You've unlocked the task [Manga Artist]."
"Task requires publishing an installment of a series of manga novels and publish a single volume."
"Upon completion, you will receive the title [Manga Artist] (Drawing skills +3, design +3, scriptwriting +3.)"
There was only one phase for this task and finishing it would reward him 100 points.
Possessing a manga novel series and publishing one volume was enough to retain the title of a manga artist.
The title also came with three additional attributes.
Drawing skills, including the basic foundations and techniques, had been learned by Meng Fan after receiving the drawing skill attributes. Moreover, this drawing technique bonus didn't just include animation techniques, but other types as well. Only Meng Fan's current jobs were all related to manga.
Drawing skills would give him the abilities of a well-rounded artist.
The design included character design, environment design, stylizing, and more.
Screenwriting included dramas, adaptations, plot designs, segmentations and so on.
From the description, it was the full set of skills needed to produce a series of manga novels.
Meng Fan understood that the success of a manga would be inseparable from these three attributes. If he could attain these add-ons, it would be incredible. These attributes were also what every animation and manga student dreamed of.
If there was another related attribute that was more refined that came later, then it would be even more perfect.
Meng Fan had chosen to study drawing, specifically animation as his major. Obviously, he didn't want to just be an illustrator to get by. His ultimate goal was to become an anime practitioner.
He wanted to partake in the production of animations, as well as creating his own manga. These were all within Meng Fan's scope of pursuit.
He began to design his first manga early on already. In high school, the results had come to an eventual end. Meng Fan became in awe of manga creating.
Since he began college, Meng Fan did not give up his dream of creating a manga, only he never thought about it or tried to start one. He needed more power to prepare for the day his drawing abilities and his scriptwriting skills were at a satisfactory level. His specific field-based research had been enough to support at least half of the manga... So once he felt that everything was up to par and the timing was right, he would then begin the process of creating a manga.
After being reincarnated, because of the rewards the task [Illustrator] had netted, Meng Fan was very clear as to where his current drawing skills stood. Presently, Meng Fan's skills could certainly support the production of a manga, his drawing techniques, in particular, were enough to exceed half of the professional manga artists out there.
As for design, he was always been a leader in this aspect.
Those things, coupled with his hand speed, could mostly solve the two important factors of efficiency and perseverance.
Although [Illustrator] had awarded him with imagination, Meng Fan felt that what he lacked most was scriptwriting. This was the most important ability, far more important than drawing skills.
Now that there was an achievement task that could increase his scriptwriting skills, he was not prepared to begin a manga. Should he still go for it?
Of course!
To Meng Fan, it was a simple task.
One, it wasn't hard to create a series. Nowadays, Hua Xia's manga network was vast and made it easy for anyone who wanted to upload their manga series. Even if the system didn't recognize an online series, Meng Fan had a way of finding a manga network to officiate his series. The System couldn't have requirements for manga publishing studios right.
Two, it was also not difficult to issue a single volume. Finding a serialized website or a publishing house to help Meng Fan with the publication would be quite difficult, but worst case Meng Fan could pay to publish it himself. The system probably didn't require someone else to pay right? And he couldn't be too picky when it came to publishing platforms… right?
After publishing, he could probably kiss the idea of selling it goodbye. He could just give it out.
In the end, it was not difficult to produce a manga with his current drawing skills and imagination. It wasn't hard to create one, but its quality was a different topic.
The only thing that Meng Fan did not understand was how he had triggered the task. What was the trigger mechanism of the System?
If Meng Fan or Qin Jiao suggested the idea of creating a manga could trigger the task, then that would be understandable. But this was somebody else's business.
Was it because they mentioned creating a manga? But that doesn't make sense. Mr. Ma's professional class mentioned manga creation at least five times in each lecture, yet it did not trigger a task.
Or was it because the system heard that someone else wanted to create a manga and decided it was time Meng Fan made one too and tossed him a mission?
"What's wrong with you?" Qin Jiao noticed Meng Fan's sour look after agreeing.
"I'm not happy. What else could be wrong?"
After the task was triggered, Meng Fan's heart was prancing with joy, but he couldn't say so. He pretended to dissolve his grief and anger into an appetite, making Qin Jiao speechless.
Qin Jiao was powerless as well. "If you eat like this, nevermind ten kilometers, you won't lose any weight even if you run twenty kilometers a day!"
"I do run twenty kilometers a day, but it's the first time you're actually paying for a meal you invited me to!" Meng Fan continued to scarf down the food on the table.
"You're hopeless! Fine, eat as much as you can!"
"Where are you going?"
"The bathroom. What, are you scared I'm going to run?"
"Yes!"
"Then why don't you come along?"
...
It was 9 in the evening, and Ah Feng and Cai had just left the dormitory building to pull an all-nighter at the internet cafe. They hadn't walked far when they were stopped by someone.
"Young master Hu!"
The two shouted out a name that disgusted them but had sounded sweet to Hu Ting Song. They smiled and approached him, asking, "Do you need something from us?"
Hu Ting Song had a solemn expression as he pulled out a handful of cash. "Help me teach someone a lesson. Here's two thousand HXB for you guys to buy a smoke, as long as you don't use a knife I can help you cover it up."
The two smiled, insulting him in their minds.
'If you want us to teach someone a lesson, then we'll teach someone a lesson. Who uses a knife for that? We're not dumbasses.'
They took the money. "Who did our big brother dirty? One word from you is enough!"
Hu Ting Song bit his teeth and forced out two words. "Meng Fan."
"Who? That fat ass from the animation department?"
Ah Feng stuffed the money he had just received back into the hands of Hu Ting Song. His face turned bitter. "Young master Hu, anyone else would be fine, but him, we really can't!"
They both remembered the night they had run into Meng Fan when they were 'helping' Zhao Chang Gui straighten out Chen Da Qiang. The two wanted to cry at the thought. That feeling of being suppressed by one hand and the pain that followed at any point could not be understood by most people!
They thought about it again and understood why Hu Ting Song was so desperately looking for trouble. It seemed that the victim from the story of "Three thousand is more badass than ten thousand" on campus had been the guy standing in front of them!
Yes, this iron hero could f*cking run ten kilometers. Was that not terrifying!?
Hu Ting Song creased his brows. "You guys are still afraid of him?"
The two nodded in admittance. Cai thought for a moment. "How about, you think about some other ways to deal with him?"
...
Meng Fan still followed his original plan for the evening stream. There were no more novel illustrations, so he decided to draw some mecha. It was just that he had interacted only with Hua Xia's historical culture growing up. Since he also enjoyed it too, the 'mecha' gear had been heavily influenced by ancient Hua Xia history toward the direction of armor.
It was cool to engrave a Gundam with inscriptions of traditional thunderclouds and weavings. It was also convenient to add a yin yang based formation on a transformer!
Meng Fan ended the stream at nine o'clock sharp and continued to ponder his manga job in the studio.
As he thought about it, he took out his phone once again and began to sort through the ideas and inspirations he had collected over the years.
As he sorted through them, Meng Fan discovered he had actually made quite a lot of preparations to create his own manga. 
If anything, just the research alone was enough to support a historical type manga's character, style, and environment design.
And Meng Fan believed it was possible to begin from this aspect.
Although the achievement task of [Manga Artist] made Meng Fan ecstatic to complete it and gain its attributes, it could also be attained quickly. Meng Fan thought it through; he thought that the final product had to have a certain level of quality.
They weren't strict requirements, but he should at least be able to show it off. No matter what, it had to be worthy of his own drawing skills!


To reward Meng Fan for his bravery before his heroic death, the cosmos rewarded him with a 'system', sending him back in time to three months ago, alive.

7:50am

Worst day of my life is that today i was left at home for bathing too slow.

Well they scolded that you should be like 9 who bathes fast and i started saying facts like she didnt use soap.

And then they denied and like i have to fight back and said i will always use soap and as for 9 she has her own life style so we are not the same.

After that silence filled the room and then they started talking saying your right,she doesnt use soap and always puts it on her room.

For me that tactic works for some people but for others they would fight back.

Well 9 is strong so that is why i dont argue with too much or i'll get punched in yhe stomach if i say something wrong.

8:00am

Okay i will just wait untill they arroved since they notified me that they'll pick me up soon.

"Why?" Pipi asked. "Is it Qian Zhongshu?" As far as she knew, there was always gossip surrounding celebrities and internet fans loved to spread rumours about him.

"It's not Qian Zhongshu, but the status of the cultural relic of his teacher is about the same as the work of Qian Zhongshu. He was called 'The Jade Scholar'. Since Song Yu's death, this person has been considered a rookie on the rise in the world of jade. To some extent, he holds as much authority as Song did.

"Cultural relics...?" This was not Pipi's area of expertise.

"His name is He Lanjing. He's an expert on ancient jade, a connoisseur, and a collector. He has only one simple title: Senior Consultant of C City Museum."

Pipi laughed: "The C City Museum is not nearby. I'll pretend to visit and get a picture of him."

"Pipi, it is illegal to publish any photos without his consent. I still remember that there was a very popular Bengbu Business Daily article six months ago. Just because the reporter had a silhouette photo of He Lanjing, he was taken to court. When he arrived at the court, he invited the best lawyers in the country to fight on his behalf, but they were attacked and beaten, and the newspaper was ruined and almost closed down. If you dare to interview such a person, you have to be brave."

"So, I'll let you go. Your mission is small. Just sneak into the crowd and secretly observe him. Secondly, you could try to get close to him and soften him, then I'll think of the next move. Ugh, what about my pregnancy? Seriously, I throw up every day and I can't run anywhere. This report will be jointly written and submitted to the 'Top Ten Cultural Good News' competition this year. If you win, you can talk to the president and get him to transfer you to the weekend or entertainment section, and then you'll be a real reporter!"

Pipi could barely contain herself. "Is that true? Could I really become a reporter?"

As the saying goes, the devil is in the details. Pipi may have been the secretary of the news unit, but although her title contained the word 'news', the nature of her work was far from that of the reporters.

"How could it not be? He would have no reason to refuse. What's more, aren't you currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in journalism? With that kind of qualification, of course you'll have a chance. Now, take my camera. Look, this is Nikon's Professional camera. The lens alone was tens of thousands of dollars, so you'd better look after it! I'll go and find Du Wenguang and get him to give you an internship card. I'll tell him I'm in poor health and need you to help me in your spare time. He'll definitely be okay with it. If you can't, I'll get one of the other secretaries to help me."

"I'll do it, I'll do it!"

"Well, check the info over first. It's all there. Ugh... are you wearing perfume? I think I'm going to hurl. It's been three months and I'm still vomiting every day! When will it end!?" Wei Qingtan slammed a hand over her mouth and rushed out of the room.

Guan Pi Pi is an amateur reporter. In spite of being pretty and kind, she often finds herself alone in the world. Because of that, Guan Pi Pi feels abandoned and hopeless. 

What she doesn’t realize is that she has been marked with an ancient curse that has been the cause of all of the misfortune in her life. 
Helan Jing is the Jade Master, a secretive cultural relic specialist whose face remains unseen to the public eye. Helan Jing is practically alien to people, but no one knows just how true that statement is--The Jade Master is actually a deity from another realm. 

When Helan Jing meets Guan Pi Pi, he becomes convinced that he can make her believe in love again. But for a man who lives his life in solitude, it might be tough to save a woman suffering from a supernatural, millennia-old curse.
