Chарtеr 1: Неlр! I’vе Time-Тrаvеlеd, аnd I’m About to Diе Аgain…
Goоd news: I didn’t die—I саught thе timе-trаvеl trend, аnd mу nаme is еxаctly thе sаme. I’m еven а riсh sеcоnd-gеnerаtiоn hеir!
Ваd nеws: Мy сurrent idеntitу is a penniless, undеvelоpеd singеr whо’s bеen kickеd out of а musiсаl fаmily…
Singеr!!! Luo Qingхu shot up likе а саrр leаping out of wаtеr: “Оh nо! Lоoks like I’m abоut tо diе agаin, this time frоm starvatiоn!”
Luо Qingхu hаd travelеd hеre threе days аgо. Whilе сrossing thе strеet, she was hit and sent flying by а madmаn whо’d fаilеd аt stoсk trading and deсided tо takе revеnge on society.
As she soared through the air, Luo Qingxu truly saw her great-grandmother, scaring her into immediately closing her eyes. When she opened them again, a bundle was thrown right at her face. With her agile reflexes, she caught it instantly.
“The Luo family doesn’t need a disgraceful good-for-nothing! Now! Immediately! Get out of here! You can only come back when you’ve retrieved your grandfather’s painting!”
A woman who looked like a noble lady said angrily, her eyes icy cold, her fingers clenched tightly—clearly issuing this command with the last of her patience.
“Fifth Miss, please!”
Before the bewildered Luo Qingxu could even see what the person in front of her looked like, the butler ushered her into the car.
Then she was sent to the apartment she currently lived in. After that, Luo Qingxu, who was bombarded by “Luo Qingxu’s” memories, spent three days doing nothing but eating, drinking, sleeping, and lying around like a corpse!
Before sorting through the memories, Luo Qingxu thought: Such a familiar start—either a villainous cannon fodder or a protagonist’s comeback story!
After sorting through the memories, Luo Qingxu thought: Girl! How foolish! How nice it would’ve been to just be a wealthy good-for-nothing. Why did you have to dig your own grave?!
This world was a parallel one called Huaxia, where music and art were revered by all.
Two hundred years ago, a war that nearly destroyed the world broke out. Nations fought each other for over a century, plunging nearly every country into ruin. The people suffered immensely, and many human treasures were lost in that century-long war.
Later, the leaders of various nations engaged in an in-depth discussion lasting eighty-one days and finally reached the Blue Star Peace Agreement.
This agreement, centered on economic development and the promotion of soft culture, became a new starting point for conflict resolution.
Since then, fields like art, music, film, and sports around the world have experienced unprecedented prosperity and development.
Born into a musical family, Luo Qingxu could be said to have been born with a silver spoon in her mouth. But why was everyone in the family talented except for her?
Over the past eighteen years, “Luo Qingxu” had tried everything—music, chess, calligraphy, painting, playing instruments, singing—but her talent could only be rated 8.5 out of 10, because there was 1.5 left for speechlessness (utterly speechless).
Instruments and sheet music? She learned them well, but for some reason, her fingers had a mind of their own.
Chess? To this day, she couldn’t even beat her five-year-old cousin at Gomoku.
Painting? After three years of study, the only thing she could draw well was stick figures.
Calligraphy? This was her relatively strong suit—her characters were neat and proper, but they lacked spirit.
Dancing? She had long limbs and smooth lines, but her coordination was surprisingly poor—her hands and feet would even fight each other.
Singing? Tone-deaf, managing to hit not a single note correctly…
Good at nothing, her family had come to accept it. They didn’t need her to contribute anyway—she could just be a mascot!
A Song God for a father, a dancer for a mother, a Song Queen for a sister, a film emperor for a brother, and a good-for-nothing me!!!
As “Luo Qingxu” grew up, she became “twisted.” Hey! You say I’m no good? Well, I refuse to believe it!Back then, “Luo Qingxu” was only obsessed with singing, torturing her parents, older siblings, and the family’s butler, driver, and nannies with her performances.
It wasn’t until high school that she befriended a close confidante, Bai Xuanlu. In order to extract money and resources from the Luo family through “Luo Qingxu,” Bai Xuanlu showered her with all kinds of flattery: “Others just don’t know how to appreciate you,” “They’re just jealous of how well you sing…”
Later, through this confidante’s introduction, “Luo Qingxu” even started a secret relationship this year with a popular male idol, You Lirong. Under the double dose of intentional flattery, “Luo Qingxu” seemed to lose all common sense.
Not only did she continuously funnel resources to her confidante and boyfriend, but she also firmly believed she had a natural talent for singing. She posted videos on various platforms under the Luo family’s name, drawing ridicule from across the internet. However, due to the Luo family’s status, critics didn’t dare go too far.
Originally, the Luo family turned a blind eye to such matters—after all, who hasn’t been young and foolish at some point?
Recently, her boyfriend You Lirong and Bai Xinyao were stirring up a CP buzz on a variety show. While You Lirong reassured “Luo Qingxu,” telling her it was just a company marketing strategy, he was simultaneously fueling the hype with his rival. Matters escalated when paparazzi photographed them entering the same hotel one after another. Unable to contain her anger, “Luo Qingxu” publicly asserted her claim online, only to face mockery and insults from fans of You Lirong and Bai Xinyao.
Thus, egged on by her confidante, she signed up for the recently trending “National Style Grand Prize” program. In a bet against her rival Bai Xinyao, she even wagered her late grandfather’s masterpiece, “The Thoughts and Longings of the Mountain.”
Without notifying her family, she privately entrusted the painting to a trust agency (when setting up a wager, both parties must submit their stakes to a third party to ensure the safety and fairness of the stakes or funds until the conditions of the wager are met).
The Luo family initially tried to reason with her, but “Luo Qingxu” remained stubborn. When Mom Luo, Ming Yayu, forcefully intervened, “Luo Qingxu” had the audacity to declare that the painting was left to her by her grandfather and she could do with it as she pleased. This led to the scene where an enraged Mom Luo kicked her out.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk! This girl is truly a walking blood bag. The scumbag and the scheming woman are clearly pulling a scam. Without a brainless original host, there’d be no transmigration trope.
Luckily, I acted decisively. On the very first day I arrived, I blocked and deleted the scumbag and the scheming woman in one go.”
That’s right! On the very first day Luo Qingxu arrived, she was subjected to the scumbag’s emotional manipulation.
— “Don’t be like this. I’ve explained it to you so many times already. Bai Xinyao and I are just putting on a show for the company. You’re the only one I love.”
— “I demand you make our relationship public immediately, or else there’s nothing more to discuss!”
— “Alright, alright! Once I’m done with work, I’ll come see you right away.”
— “Scumbags are blacklisted for life. We’re breaking up!”
— “Don’t be like that~ Sweetheart, have you heard? That young man Xu Ji just snatched Lan You’s endorsement, and he’s riding high right now. Isn’t he clearly trying to make things difficult for me? The endorsement for Chu Chen under the Luo family is about to expire too. You have to help me out—I can’t let that guy outshine me. You know how crucial this stage of my career is. This endorsement means a lot to me. You have to make sure this works out for me. Don’t let me down.”When Luo Qingxu saw it, she felt like she was going to vomit up last night’s dinner from her past life. Without hesitation, she replied and blocked the sender: “Get lost! Consider the money and resources from before as fed to a dog. Don’t bother me again, or else…”
On the other end, You Lirong saw the message and smirked dismissively. This young lady had a habit of throwing tantrums like this every now and then. A few sweet words, and she’d come crawling back like a loyal puppy.
If she weren’t from the Luo family, I wouldn’t waste my time trying to please this empty-headed young lady.
As for her so-called “best friend,” she had been unusually quiet these past three days. Who knows what kind of scheme she was brewing? In any case, she had already been deleted and blocked. It was only a matter of time before that scumbag realized it.
However, Luo Qingxu had more important matters to attend to now. In just five days, the recording for the “National Style Grand Prize” program would begin. The staff had been bombarding her with urgent calls, but Luo Qingxu’s song hadn’t even taken shape yet.
Luo Qingxu? How could Luo Qingxu possibly understand music?!
In her past life, Luo Qingxu had been completely tone-deaf. If there was one person in the world who could hit every single note off-key, that person would undoubtedly be Luo Qingxu.
As her friends had jokingly put it, while others were blessed with heavenly voices, hers was more like a heavenly stab to the ears.
In this life, after merging with “Luo Qingxu’s” memories, she could at least read sheet music.
But singing? Trust me, as someone who prides herself on being the bathroom karaoke queen, it would be downright deadly!
“Would it still be too late if I went back and apologized now?”
Wrapped in a blanket like a cocooned caterpillar, Luo Qingxu rolled back and forth on her bed, contemplating the possibility of successfully withdrawing from the competition.
“No way! Withdrawing would just prove I lost, wouldn’t it? Stupid Luo Qingxu, why did you have to publicly announce the bet online? Otherwise, I could’ve just quietly refused to admit it, and no one could’ve done anything about it.”
“System! System! Hey, my dear System!”
“Hey, SIRI? Xiao Du, Xiao Du? Xiao Ai?”
…Awkward silence…
“Ah! Idiot! Idiot! I really am a huge idiot”
