Ling Qianhe walked out of the Ling family villa under a clear and bright sky.
He glanced at the white clouds overhead, the light in the depths of his dark eyes, however, was as brilliant as a million stars.
He—from the very beginning, knew that he would absolutely not lose.
The person he loved.
He would definitely hold her tightly in his palm.
No one would ever try to take her away!
...
Lin Muci was unaware of all that Ling Qianhe had done. Without the system's prompts, she had no idea what Ling Qianhe had been doing behind her back. Currently, Lin Muci was busy working on her new album.
The new songs were ready to be released.
The promotional posters had already been shot.
The pre-sale of this album had already surpassed five million copies. After all, "Era Girls" was likely to disband after this album, making it a rare collector's item.
The fans were determined to break records.
Yang Weiyang and the others had finished recording the songs—the first lead single from the new album was set to premiere globally tonight.
Lin Muci lowered her head and looked at her phone. Ling Qianhe had sent her a new message.
"Looking forward to my baby's new song."
"My baby will surely amaze the world again."
At first, she thought this was just a private message from Ling Qianhe. But after reading it a couple of times, she realized something was amiss—this wasn't a private message at all. It was posted by Ling Qianhe on Weibo and he had tagged her!
Below the post were comments from fans, full of curiosity and playful teasing, extremely excited.
[Hahaha, Qianhe, you're so good at promotion.]
[Has he heard it in advance? Hahaha—I feel like he's still holding back some big moves...]
Ling Qianhe's own fans were also urgently calling out.
[Don't just promote your wife!!! What about your new song! Qianhe, how much longer do we have to wait for your new song!]
Ling Qianhe's fans were going crazy.
[Stop only focusing on your relationship, hurry up and film, hurry up and release songs, hurry up and engage with your fans!]
Ling Qianhe's fans had finally seen clearly. All his work was related to Lin Muci. Before, they had minor grievances, saying that Ling Qianhe's work always involved Lin Muci, whether it was collaborating on variety shows or movies with her.
But now, it was different.
When she filmed other dramas,
Ling Qianhe had truly vanished without a trace!
They could only see paparazzi photos of them dating and driving back to the villa.
He was happily in love—but he was a top-tier celebrity, didn't he care about his career?
The fans were so angry they could barely breathe. The career-focused fans were almost in tears, begging Qianhe, "Please collaborate with Xiao Ci more!"
"We'll agree to anything as long as you keep producing content, okay?"
Yang Weiyang scrolled through the comments and burst out laughing.
She specifically sent it to Lin Muci to see.
[Everyone wants Ling Qianhe to come out and work again!]
[Hahaha, Xiao Ci, shouldn't you persuade him to work?]
Lin Muci blinked.
After a moment's thought, she replied solemnly to Yang Weiyang.
[Him?]
[He has more important things to do right now.]
Yang Weiyang was puzzled.
[What's more important?]
Yang Weiyang couldn't figure it out.
Given Ling Qianhe's personality,
Was there anything more important than dominating the entertainment industry together with Xiao Ci? Moreover, they were releasing a song tonight, he should be there, right?
...
That evening, the moment the stage lights shone brightly, Lin Muci and Yang Weiyang and the others slowly rose from the lift. The audience below screamed wildly—this was the global premiere of their new album's lead single, "A Thought of Heaven and Earth"!
Aurora's intro and the chanting vocals immediately captured the soul.
"A thought as seeing the eternal universe—"
"Others slander me, rumors wound me."
"Rise, ascend, break through the sky."
"Like a shattered soul pieced together."
"Don't hide, don't fear, in this world, you are the warrior holding a spear, you are the king of all beings holding the key, you are the divine guardian of heaven and earth!"
Lin Muci raised an eyebrow. The girl was like a powerful deity gracing the world. She raised her head, a spotlight hitting her cheek. Her exquisite face was so beautiful it made one tremble!
The floral mark between her brows was like the imprint of a phoenix.
She twirled in mid-air—
Behind her, ethereal light emerged, unfolding like wings.
And Yang Weiyang and the others stood up. Who said girls couldn't command the world's acclaim with power, who said girls couldn't be looked up to as global top-tier celebrities.
The smile on her lips gradually widened—becoming more and more incredibly beautiful. Then Lin Muci lightly leaped up, and she walked step by step to the very center of the stage.
The screams from all around were deafening.
She said.
"Suffering forged me."
"I have my throne."
"The vastness of heaven and earth."
"I am my deity."
"Where the sunlight falls."
"All is my universe."
Behind her, radiance bloomed—amidst the dazzling light, her commanding face was captured in a close-up by the director. On that face, so beautiful it made people gasp involuntarily, there was an unyielding, proud, and absolutely dominant spirit that no one could block!
She looked up at the audience before her—
She said.
"I am the king of heaven and earth."
...
The world was in a frenzy!
In the words of the fans.
[We knew Xiao Ci would be powerful, she's a queen, but I still underestimated Xiao Ci from afar. I knew she was dominant, but I never expected her to be this powerful, this dominant!]
Her performance was truly spectacular.
The fans felt that Lin Muci was simply amazing!
How could there be such an idol who wrote her own songs, designed her own outfits, and excelled in both singing and dancing—was she the ceiling of idols never seen before globally?
The lead single of this album definitely did not disappoint.
Yes, she never disappointed her fans!
As Lin Muci hit her last stunning high note, the album's lead single reached its final cadence. The fans were still enraptured, completely lost in the song's essence.
It was so—exhilarating.
Lin Muci stepped off the stage. Yang Weiyang's hands were trembling with excitement. Although this song had been performed many times before, this was its first public performance. Without hesitation, she threw her arms around Lin Muci.
She nuzzled her cheek.
"Xiao Ci, we did it—did you see the audience's expressions? This will definitely be a new peak."
Before Lin Muci could say anything,
She heard a deep chuckle beside her ear.
"Shouldn't you let go of my wife?"
Yang Weiyang instinctively released her grip.
She saw Ling Qianhe standing outside the door.
He had finally arrived.
Although he was a step late,
Lin Muci had no intention of questioning why he was late.
She just thought Yang Weiyang was too afraid of Ling Qianhe.
Then Ling Qianhe strode over to her ear, and Lin Muci heard him whisper in her ear, in a voice only she could hear.
"I've resolved the matters on my end."
Ling Qianhe smiled.
"Tomorrow morning's news should be quite exciting."
