I was persecuted and turned into a teenage idol

The rousing music only took a dozen seconds to get everyone in the zone, and the mentors below couldn't help but nod their heads.

"General, the northern granaries are secured. Six horses and twelve soldiers await your arrival!"

"The erhu recounts heroic deeds. The defeated army retreats south and far north..."

Strong rhythmic phrasing, and melodious, high-pitched musical instruments.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Su Jian, dressed in a cheongsam, possessed a classical elegance, yet also seemed like a rebellious and carefree rock girl.

These two seemingly contradictory yet mutually exclusive qualities appeared in the same person at the same time, creating a unique beauty that made everyone crane their necks to get a closer look.

"Waiting for the moment my beloved returns~~~? Tears sing for you~~~?"

The sudden change in Peking Opera style made countless people's facial features contort, their mouths unconsciously turning into egg shapes, and they all exclaimed in amazement.

Su Jian practiced this one line for a whole week!

"On the day I left you, blue rain fell before my eyes, and proud tears dared not abandon my gaze—!?"

The chorus, delivered in a Peking Opera style, ignited the audience's enthusiasm with its high-energy melody and the surging power of all the instruments.

Fireworks exploded continuously around the stage.

Wearing a cheongsam and high heels.

Su Jian stood still, strumming her guitar while shouting into the microphone, sweating profusely, releasing all her pressure in this explosive moment.

The elegant cheongsam-clad girl and the stunning Chinese-style song create a contrast and harmony.

Many people could no longer contain themselves and finally stood up, singing along with Su Jian, as if it were a concert.

"Face it bravely—!?"

Boom!

The last line finally came to an abrupt end as the guitar was put down.

Panting, Su Jian stood there, the tension finally released like a string being completely released, allowing her to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Su Jian—we love you!"

"No.1! No.1! No.1!"

"Su Jian, Su Jian, invincible under heaven! You reign supreme above all! Ah—!!!"

The silence of the singing and instruments only fueled the fans' even more frenzied shouts and the lively atmosphere of the event.

At this moment, only one thought was on the mind of this classically beautiful woman on stage: "Damn, these are so hard to wear! I should have known better than to wear high heels!!!"

Fortunately... the performance finally ended.

Sweating profusely, Su Jian looked at the densely packed crowd in front of her, and after a moment of dazed scanning, she suddenly felt a slight dizziness in her head and was unsteady on her feet.

"...!"

Gritting her teeth, she could only quickly put down the guitar to support herself.

"You can leave the stage now," the director urged through the earpiece.

It's time to leave...

Although she was still a little dizzy, Su Jian could only take a deep breath and stand up.

She paused for a moment, and only after feeling much better did she slowly walk backstage amidst cheers.

Fans cheered and roared, passersby remained expressionless, and the mentors started chatting and joking for the sake of the show.

Amidst the sea of ​​people, only one dark figure, who had just sat down and whose arms were crossed over his chest, frowned, as if he had noticed something.

……

"Go, Momo!"

After my performance, Xu Momo was next.

When I got backstage, my body had returned to normal and I was no longer feeling unwell.

Su Jian smiled at Xu Momo as they passed by, then clenched her fist.

The other person forced a smile before nervously walking onto the stage.

"Mo Mo! Mo Mo! Mo Mo!"

A deafening cheer erupted behind her. Thanks to her brilliant performance on the show and her energetic personality, Xu Momo gained a lot of fans and attention.

Su Jian took a towel from a staff member, wiped her sweat, and immediately sat backstage, intently watching the other person's performance.

……

Before you know it, night falls.

The live celebration of 60,000 people and the online celebration of millions and tens of millions of people have finally come to an end, and it is also the most exciting climax.

Once again, I stepped onto the stage and stood with everyone under the big screen.

Below, the usually frenzied fans were unusually restrained, each one silently watching the screen and the others, all holding their breath and watching everything intently.

"First of all... please cast your votes, mentors!"

As Li Caiqing's voice faded, the mentors, whose votes were equivalent to ten thousand votes, pressed the buttons in their hands.

The large screen then began to change, and the previously zeroed-out, indiscriminately arranged displays quickly switched.

Tenth place!

Su Jian's expression changed drastically when she saw her precarious ranking.

"The mentor voting has ended. Now, we invite all 60,000 people in the audience to press the button in your hand and cast your precious vote for your favorite contestant!"

boom--!

As the lights came down, the entire venue erupted in a clamor, yet there was also an eerie silence.

The strange atmosphere made everyone feel suffocated. Even Su Jian felt as if she were carrying a mountain on her back. She would glance at the audience from time to time and then look at the big screen from time to time.

"Audience voting has ended!"

Five minutes later, the lights came on again, and everyone stared at the big screen as Li Caiqing spoke.

The votes began to climb rapidly, and everyone rose as fast as they could, like they were on a rocket.

Ninth place, eighth place...twelfth place!

One second they squeezed into the top ten, the next second they plummeted to twelfth.

Su Jian clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and her mind went completely blank.

The thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth...

The ranking kept falling back, then slowly moving forward again.

Fourteenth place!

The final ranking was fourteenth. Su Jian was pale and her head was buzzing.

Fourteenth place... that means you can't debut and will be eliminated!

In other words... I'm going to be sunk to the bottom of the sea, and so is Ah Wei...

"Finally, it's time for online voting!"

Oh, and there's also online voting!

In that instant, he seized the last glimmer of hope and stared wide-eyed.

Su Jian clasped her hands tightly together nervously, clearing her throat repeatedly, feeling as if her heart was in her throat.

This is my last chance to survive!

Life or death... it all comes down to this final gamble!

"The online voting countdown has begun! Viewers at home and in front of your computers, please cast your vote!"

……

"What? Only fourteenth place?!"

Huang Hongyi, a high school student who was lying on the bed, suddenly jumped up and hurriedly opened his QQ group.

Please help me out by voting for my wife, Su Jian! I'll treat you all to dinner afterwards!

"My woman...I absolutely cannot lose!"

He glanced at the poster of Su Jian on the wall, gritted his teeth, and kept refreshing the page, desperately voting and spreading the word.

……

"Brothers, it's our turn to go on stage!"

They gathered in the dark basement.

With their eyes no longer glued to the screen, the otaku unanimously opened their prepared phones and cast their votes with the speed of someone who'd been single for two or three decades.

Chapter 44. Final 3

"Hey! Who did you vote for?"

"I like He Ziling, I'm going to vote for her."

"I like Su Jian! I think she's so cute, like a Psyduck!"

The nurses, who had finally gotten some free time, watched TV and started discussing the topic, and also began voting.

Inside the half-open door, the sleeping figure's fingers suddenly twitched slightly before quickly falling back asleep.

……

Inside the lavishly decorated building, the white-haired butler bent down and spoke softly.

"Sir, as you instructed, everyone in the company has been asked to participate in the vote."

"very good."

With a cigar in one hand and the other pressing down on the head of the blonde woman beneath him, Lin Jinglong smiled slightly, a contented expression on his face.

"Only by debuting and gaining greater fame and controversy... can her value be maximized! Hmm—! We have to devour her completely."
