The Journey to Godhood in Another World

In the dazzling and unpredictable stage of the entertainment industry, right and wrong are like ever-changing phantoms, often turning upside down in the blink of an eye.

Today, a microblog post that had been quietly brewing in the depths of the internet has acted like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up huge waves and ruthlessly pushing the fates of three people to the forefront of public opinion.

It was a night so quiet it was unsettling. The city's hustle and bustle gradually subsided, leaving only the streetlights casting a dim and lonely glow, like silent guardians.

In the bachelor apartment that Ji Lingkun had given her, Zhao Shiya sat alone on the edge of the bed, the surrounding darkness seeming to engulf her. She gripped her phone tightly, the screen's light illuminating her haggard face. The microblogging article that was about to cause a huge uproar was slowly being born from her trembling fingertips.

"I am Lu Jinchen's ex-girlfriend, Zhao Shiya. Today, I'm going to tell everyone everything and let everyone see the ugly faces of those two!"

Zhao Shiya gritted her teeth and said fiercely, her fingers pounding on the phone keyboard, each word seemingly carrying the burning rage in her heart, "I met Lu Jinchen in the university music club. Back then, we were both full of love for music, often discussing melodies and lyrics together in corners of the campus, dreaming of a glorious future in music. We were so close, creating together, striving for our dreams together. I thought he was the one who would be with me for life. However, all of that changed after that girl appeared. Luo Li, what right does she have? Just because of her pitiful appearance?"

A flicker of jealousy and hatred flashed in Zhao Shiya's eyes as she continued, "To write this song, I searched every corner of the city for inspiration, revising it repeatedly. Every note was infused with my soul. But Lu Jinchen betrayed me. He stole my work and gave it, along with my teacher's new song, to Luo Li. When I saw my song credited as 'Liuli Yue' on the new talent chart, I felt like I'd been doused with a bucket of cold water; my heart sank. What I couldn't accept was that Lu Jinchen broke up with me for Luo Li. He just looked at me coldly and said we weren't right for each other, that he wanted to be with Luo Li. How could he do this to me? Now I'm struggling to pay rent and make ends meet every day, while they're enjoying the honor that should rightfully be mine."

In the microblog, Zhao Shiya portrays herself as a pitiful person betrayed by both love and friendship, a naive girl struggling on her musical path but suppressed by evil forces.

She looked at the words she had written with satisfaction, as if she could already see Luo Li and Lu Jinchen's disgrace and ruin.

Once the article was published, it quickly spread like wildfire. The internet was in an uproar.

"So Liuliyue is Luoli! No wonder a freshman could be so amazing, it turns out she plagiarized!" one netizen wrote angrily in the comments section.

"How can someone like this be doing so well on the rookie rankings? There must be something fishy going on!" another netizen chimed in.

"I feel sorry for Zhao Shiya and support her in defending her rights!" Many netizens left messages, and Zhao Shiya's Weibo post was forwarded and liked countless times.

Amidst a chorus of doubts, Luo Li found herself in an unprecedented predicament.

Her peaceful university life was completely disrupted. When she walked on campus, she could always feel people pointing and whispering behind her back.

Lu Jinchen also faced immense public pressure; his brows were furrowed, and his heart was filled with anxiety.

He tried to contact Zhao Shiya and ask her to delete the article, but Zhao Shiya completely ignored him.

"Now you know to come looking for me? Too late!" Zhao Shiya looked at Lu Jinchen's caller ID, feeling a surge of vengeful pleasure. She sneered and tossed her phone aside.

As public opinion continued to snowball, the matter successfully attracted the keen and attention-seeking eyes of the media.

In an instant, major entertainment news media swarmed in like hungry wolves spotting prey, reporting on the incident with increasingly sensational headlines.

"Plagiarism scandal involving a rising star in the music scene, behind which lies a love triangle!" Such headlines seem to possess a seductive magic, easily capturing the public's curiosity; "Did Lu Jinchen and Luo Li's path to fame climb on Zhao Shiya's shoulders?"

Such reports are like a sharp blade, piercing straight to the heart of the matter and making it even more chaotic and unclear.

The media's sensationalism was like adding fuel to the fire, making the already complex event even more elusive, and burying the truth deep in layers of fog.

Luo Li produced the copyright registration certificate and made it public, hoping to quell the storm. However, reality struck her like a heavy slap in the face.

The public seems only willing to believe what they believe to be the "truth," ignoring the overwhelming evidence.

At this difficult time, Song Hui and Ke Shiyin stepped forward and spoke out righteously for Luo Li, but the wave of public opinion did not subside as a result.

Some netizens were dismissive, believing they were just putting on an act to attract attention; others, however, harbored ulterior motives, speculating that they were only offering help out of self-interest.

Luo Li's heart was filled with bitterness and helplessness, but thankfully, her fans, Little Moons, always stood firmly behind her.

With unwavering trust in Luo Li, they fought bravely on the battlefield of the internet, engaging in fierce battles with numerous skeptics in order to protect Luo Li's reputation.

However, their strength was too insignificant, like a drop in the ocean, and they were ultimately unable to withstand the overwhelming tide of negative public opinion.

As time went on, the plagiarism incident became increasingly complicated.

Various forces intervened, some supporting Zhao Shiya, some backing Luo Li, and others simply enjoying the spectacle.

The entire music industry was plunged into a crisis of trust because of this incident. People began to doubt the overnight success of newcomers and question the authenticity of music creation.

Luo Li pondered to herself, today is already the last day of October, and this storm of public opinion has been raging for half a month. Now is the time to stand up and clarify everything.

She knew that even if the evidence she presented at this moment were easily dismissed by those with prejudices, but she felt no fear.

After all, she held a rich treasure from her past life—a vast collection of songs, which was her strongest asset.

When it comes to the speed and quality of original content, who in this world can compare with her? She has enough confidence and strength to shatter this unfounded plagiarism accusation.

Therefore, Luo Li resolutely issued a solemn statement on her social media account, announcing that she would start a live broadcast at 7:30 pm to face the uproar over the plagiarism controversy.

She sincerely invited Zhao Shiya and all those who questioned her plagiarism, hoping they would come to the live broadcast room.

She was determined to create art on the spot under the watchful eyes of the crowd, to powerfully prove her innocence with practical actions, to reveal the truth to the world, and to completely dispel those false rumors and slanders.

Following Luo Li's statement, the internet exploded. Various opinions emerged, all waiting for the live stream to begin that evening.

Upon hearing this news, Ji Yajun and his son Ji Lingkun revealed sinister smiles.

"Hmph, want to clarify? Not so easy!" Ji Yajun sneered, a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

"Dad, let's contact the online trolls right away. This time, we must crush Luo Li on the pillar of shame for plagiarism."

Ji Lingkun said impatiently, his face full of excitement, as if he could already see Luo Li being despised by everyone.

In another corner of the city, Lu Jinchen sat in his room, his feelings very complicated.

He knew that Luo Li was innocent, and he was determined to find a way to help her.

He began to recall every moment since he met Luo Li, and his determination to clear her name became even stronger.

Meanwhile, Zhao Shiya waited anxiously in her single apartment for the evening's live broadcast.

She felt a little uneasy, but the thought of having so many netizens supporting her made her feel confident of victory.

"Luo Li, just wait until you're completely ruined!" she muttered to herself, her eyes flashing with a crazed light.

That evening, the live stream was about to begin. Luo Li sat in the live stream room, took a deep breath, and her eyes revealed determination and confidence.

She knew this was her only chance to prove her innocence, and she had to seize it.

Outside the live stream, countless netizens were already waiting in front of their screens, filled with various emotions, anticipating this showdown between truth and lies.

What secrets lie hidden behind this music scene drama? Is it Zhao Shiya's deliberate revenge, or is someone else manipulating things behind the scenes? All will be revealed during this live broadcast…
