LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Time slipped by quietly.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
MOKA looked at the new work she had released and a satisfied smile spread across her face.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Her phone hadn’t stopped vibrating for long, so she had no choice but to turn off the notifications.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Even so, MOKA could predict that her new work was about to blow up.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Although it was a summary of her past works, she still hoped Su Li would see it.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Maybe Su Li didn’t know who she was.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But she had definitely heard the songs MOKA had created.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Perhaps one song that felt familiar would make Su Li recall the little moments they had spent together.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She wondered whether those moments were even happy memories for Su Li.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Still, she began to hope, began to fantasize.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
If they met again, Su Li might bring it up.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
At that point, she could casually tell Su Li that it was all thanks to her that she had achieved what she had now.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Surely Su Li’s affection toward her would gradually rise.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
MOKA thought about this in her heart, already looking forward to meeting Su Li again.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Funny how she had never felt this way back when Su Li came running at her every call.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She looked at her tidied room and thought that with a better creative environment, Su Li would be in a better mood.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Otherwise, if she accidentally knocked over a wine bottle while writing a song, losing inspiration wouldn’t matter much—but if Su Li got hurt, that would be terrible.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Su Li…”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The song she had created played in MOKA’s ears, and her mind began to replay the experiences of creating music with Su Li in the past.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She was looking forward to it.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Wondering how the next spark of inspiration would appear in her mind.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The melodious song echoed through the room.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Jin Ke’er sat in the dimly lit room, listening as MOKA’s song poured out from the speakers.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The electronic drum beats pierced her eardrums like needles, and the synthesizer effects twisted into a discomforting hum in the air.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She gripped the armrest beside her, knuckles turning white from the force, her fingernails nearly digging into the leather fabric.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The occasional breathy sighs woven into the song reminded her of the image of Su Li’s neck being bitten by MOKA, her temples throbbing with every beat.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Suddenly, a soaring chorus rang out. She grabbed the crystal ashtray and hurled it at the speakers.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The sound of shattering glass mixed with the distorted melody in chaos.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Wine-red liquid spread from the overturned glass onto the carpet, like the bloodshot veins bulging in her eyes.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Damn her.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
That bitch.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Jin Ke’er panted in fury.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She could imagine that after leaving her, Su Li had quickly found a new sponsor.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Then clung to that new sponsor with fawning flattery.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Not just that art museum director she’d encountered before.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But now this internet singer writing songs too.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Just what—any random stray cat or dog gets to enjoy service on the same level as her?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
What made Jin Ke’er even angrier was that even when she offered more money, Su Li refused to come back to her.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
That bitch.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She’d rather serve these commoners than serve her.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Jin Ke’er clenched her fists in rage.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
It took a long while before she slowly calmed her emotions.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She would get Su Li.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
There was nothing in this world she couldn’t have.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The image of the two of them creating music together surfaced in Jin Ke’er’s mind, and her heart burned even more with anger and irritation.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
In her impression, artistic creation was not sacred.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
On the contrary, it was full of decadence.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Su Li’s creation with that singer must be exactly the same.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Jealousy spread through her heart like wildfire.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
That slut.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Bitch.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Why would she serve any random stray?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Just not her?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Serving her was Su Li’s honor!
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
It was an opportunity she had graciously given.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Jin Ke’er stared at the newly released work in front of her, contemplating whether to have it banned.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
If she succeeded in killing it, that performer would lose her source of income.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Without money, she couldn’t afford Su Li’s services.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Surely Su Li wouldn’t serve someone with no money.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Once that performer had no money, she’d lose her value as a rival.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Jin Ke’er believed that if Su Li couldn’t find clients, she would eventually come back to her side and beg for forgiveness.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
And when that time came, there would be plenty of opportunities to properly discipline Su Li.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Jin Ke’er sat in the dim study, her fingertips hammering heavily on the keyboard, the cold glow of the screen reflecting her sinister expression.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She pulled up MOKA’s new song data report, curled her lips into a cold sneer, and dialed the music platform executive’s number:
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“President Li, I heard you’ve been trying to secure the Jin Group’s advertising placement recently?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“I don’t want to see this singer named MOKA on the homepage recommendations ever again.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After hanging up, she contacted a familiar tabloid marketing account and sent over the pre-packaged “plagiarism scandal” material she’d prepared on MOKA.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Jin Ke’er swirled her red wine glass, the glass refracting the twisted satisfaction in her eyes.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“You should know, you didn’t do anything wrong.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Your mistake was getting involved with the wrong person.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“If you want someone to blame, blame Su Li.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Jin Ke’er murmured to herself as she stared at the work that had been taken down.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
This was only the beginning.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
People like MOKA were a dime a dozen in this era.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Of course, people like herself naturally held a certain power to decide whether an internet star kept rising.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Or got buried.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
As long as the money was right, none of it was a problem.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Bai Huizi from the Bai family, on the other hand, was a bit trickier.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Jin Ke’er’s palm clenched and released, then clenched again. Even though crescent-shaped marks had already been pressed deep into her skin.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She paid them no mind.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Her fingertips tapped lightly on the armrest as she pondered how to deal with Bai Huizi.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
As long as Bai Huizi was still around, her plan would never succeed.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Jin Ke’er sat in her chair, fingers digging into the armrest, knuckles pale.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Outside the window, dusk deepened. She stared at Bai Huizi’s photo on the wall, her chest heaving violently.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Bai Huizi.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
That woman was branded into her mind like a curse.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Images of her elegant, composed demeanor and her intimate moments with Su Li kept flashing before her eyes.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She suddenly grabbed the medicine bottle from the tea table and hurled it at the photo. The sound of shattering glass exploded through the empty room.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Why her…”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
A hoarse growl was squeezed from Jin Ke’er’s throat, her nails scraping a piercing sound across the leather armrest.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Everything Bai Huizi had—healthy legs, family power, Su Li’s docile companionship—scraped against her nerves like sharp knives.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
What she hated most was that woman always wearing that effortlessly composed smile, as if mocking her, a failure trapped in a wheelchair.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She refused to accept it!
