Godfather of the Queens' Scandals

Chapter 4 Declaring War on DiYu

"They said we should carry the light and tame every monster."

"They say, stitch up your wounds, nobody loves the clown."

Why Loneliness Is Not Glorious

"It is only human imperfection that is worthy of praise."

"Who says someone covered in mud isn't a hero?"

Zhou Bowen exclaimed excitedly, "The suppressed monster is about to unleash its power!"

Zhang Xiaosi stared at Yu Qingwan: "Covered in mud... she's really captivating."

Zhao Zhigao secretly hoped: "It seems DiYu has met its match this time!"

The next moment, Yu Qingwan's voice erupted:

"Loving you, I walk alone through dark alleys."

"I love the way you refuse to kneel."

"Loving you has faced despair."

"Refusing to even cry."

I love your tattered clothes.

"Yet they dared to block the gun of fate."

"Loving you is so much like me."

"The gaps are all the same."

Jiang Youwei trembled and looked at Xu Yuan standing beside the stage.

It's him!

He wrote this!

These lyrics are definitely right!

No... this isn't a song, it's clearly a love letter!

He even said it was just to repay a favor and that he didn't want to reconcile?

That two-faced jerk!

snort!

"Go? Are you worthy? This tattered cloak."

"War, then, with the humblest of dreams!"

"To the sobs and roars in the darkness"

"Who says only those who stand in the light are heroes?"

After the chorus, Yu Qingwan tore off her robe and threw it into the air, eliciting screams from the audience.

Taking off one's clothes on stage is always a climax!

Jiang Youwei, sitting on the judges' panel, shook her head slightly.

Do not!

This is not just a love letter, it's also a... challenge!

She/He has declared war!

He single-handedly declared war on the giant, DiYu Media!

on the stage.

Beneath the long robe, Yu Qingwan's face was covered in scars, and her post-apocalyptic makeup gave the audience a great shock.

The live chat was in an uproar:

Is this a real wound or makeup? It looks amazing!

[The most beautiful, strong, and tragic woman in the Chinese entertainment industry has to be Yu Qingwan.]

Holy crap, this song is pretty good!

[No exaggeration, Yu Tianhou's talent is truly remarkable.]

[Whether it's lyrics and music, timbre, or technique, Huang Kai was completely defeated.]

I feel there's more to this than meets the eye. Could it be that Empress Yu was really framed?

Everyone in the industry knows that Yu Qingwan was scammed by DiYu Entertainment.

It was inevitable that she, such a huge cash cow, wouldn't renew her contract.

There are actually many insightful people among netizens, but the situation may not develop to the point where they want to speak up.

After all, aside from die-hard fans, who would be willing to fight against the odds?

However, if the side facing adversity manages to turn the tide, then netizens who crave uniqueness will gladly boast, "I knew it... actually..."

Yu Qingwan's voice began to flow more freely, and her emotions became more intense:

"They say they're curing your arrogance, like wiping away dirt."

"They said to climb the ladder, but the price is bowing down."

"Then let me not ride the wind."

"You share that same proud, solitary courage."

"Who says ordinary players aren't heroes?"

The camera panned to the audience, and many of them inexplicably burst into tears.

I don't know if it's because I've given up my wild side in life, or because I've become more reserved at work.

"I love you when you walk alone in the dark alleys, I love the way you refuse to kneel."

"I've faced despair with loving you, but I refuse to shed a single tear."

"My love for you comes from the wilderness, and I will never rely on anyone else's light in this life."

"You will build your city upon ruins."

"Go, go, with the humblest of dreams."

"Fight! Fight! With the loftiest of dreams!"

"To the sobs and roars in the darkness"

"Who says only those who stand in the light are heroes!"

Yu Qingwan put down the microphone, walked to the center of the stage, and was surrounded by spotlights.

The music continued, the backing tracks she had recorded beforehand becoming background noise. She turned her head and glanced at Xu Yuan beside the stage; the man's eyes were so resolute.

Yu Qingwan took a deep breath and spoke without hesitation: "In the past three months, someone deliberately made me think that I was in the center position, which led to negative news about me vying for the center position."

Someone deliberately concealed the authorization information for the song, causing me to mistakenly sing Huang Kai's "White".

Someone disbanded my fan club and even bribed the fan leaders and site administrators to turn against me and attack me.

Some people are spreading rumors that I am arrogant and bully newcomers.

Even more shockingly, seven years ago, when someone was producing my first album, they deliberately included a plagiarized song in it, hoping to blackmail me and control me forever.

A barrage of question marks appeared on the screen.

[Wait, what is she doing? Isn't she going to sing anymore?]

[I knew it, you came here to plead your case, didn't you?]

[This is a trashy program that's trying to whitewash Yu Qingwan's image.]

I don't believe these explanations; they're too far-fetched.

But Yu Qingwan's next words seemed to predict the comments: "I'm not saying these things to clarify or whitewash anything for myself."

I just want to tell those who did those bad things that I will never compromise!

"Emperor Entertainment Media, listen up! Even if I, Yu Qingwan, can never perform on such a stage again, I will absolutely not renew my contract with you!"

At that moment, everyone was stunned.

Because they witnessed firsthand the lone hero in the song step into the real world, tear apart DiYu Entertainment, and drag the high and mighty giant into this quagmire of ruins.

Even after the music had faded, everyone remained immersed in Yu Qingwan's battle cry.

It wasn't until Xu Yuan, who was backstage, took the lead in applauding that everyone snapped out of their daze.

This was followed by enthusiastic and prolonged applause.

Zhao Zhigao: "It's amazing! The song is incredibly moving. With this powerful atmosphere, I believe every single word Yu Qingwan utters!"

Zhou Bowen: "I'm convinced. Both the song and the design of this statement made it a perfect performance!"

Zhang Xiaosi: "She is number one today, without a doubt."

Even Huang Kai had to admit that he had really been thoroughly beaten today.

He was a little afraid to look at Yu Qingwan.

If he was unaware of the truth at first and his attack on Yu Qingwan was for the sake of justice, then when DiYu contacted him a few days ago, as a seasoned musician, he understood what was going on.

Instead of correcting the wrongs, he accepted the collaboration invitation from DiYu Entertainment, hoping to become famous.

But now it seems he has brought trouble upon himself.

On the big screen, the real-time voting data was also displayed.

Huang Kai initially took a commanding lead.

But when Yu Qingwan was halfway through her song, her votes caught up.

The expert judging panel at the scene sensed the difference between the two songs early on and gave them fair scores.

Meanwhile, in the online voting for this program, the weighting for ordinary netizens and music fans is different. The latter need to register specifically and meet a certain standard for the number of songs listened to each year.

Yu Qingwan also won over these professional online listeners.

When Yu Qingwan gave her statement, her votes surged even further. This means that many ordinary netizens began to believe her, reflected on her recent experiences, and became wary of DiYu Entertainment.

Looking at the exaggerated numbers on the big screen, Jiang Youwei coughed twice: "Yu Qingwan... Congratulations on your successful challenge and for ranking first in the overall votes this round. You have won a get-out-of-jail-free card. If you rank last in the next round, you will be exempt from elimination."

May I ask what the name of this song is?

Yu Qingwan glanced at Xu Yuan in the corner, her eyes sparkling with admiration: "This song is called 'The Lone Warrior.' The creator, Yuan Xu, is my old friend..."

"Okay! This Yuan Xu is really talented, and he must be very handsome too." Jiang Youwei interrupted Yu Qingwan's introduction.

She didn't want to hear words like "husband," "father," or "darling" from Yu Qingwan's mouth.

He's clearly her ex-husband!

Shameless!
