The Rebirth of a Diva

Episode 2: The Woman Has Offended Him Before

Sorting through Ye Xingling's memories, Xia Ling learned that Ye Xingling was 16 years old and born into a normal working family. She has a father, stepmother, and step-sister, Ye Xingfei.

A year ago, Ye Xingfei pulled Ye Xingling over to participate in the Skyart Entertainment trainee audition. Fortunately, both were successful in auditions and were selected as trainees. Skyart Entertainment signed them and planned for the sisters to debut as a duo. However, little did they know that on the day they signed the contract, tragedy struck. Ye Xingfei was involved in an accident with a truck that lost control, which left him in a vegetative state.

Seeing the plans to debut the brothers failed, Skyart Entertainment wanted to break the contract with Ye Xingling.

After all, in their eyes, Ye Xingling only had average talent. The one who truly had potential was Ye Xingfei, now a patient in a vegetative state. The person responsible for the termination of the negotiations was the general manager of Skyart Entertainment Training Center, Tan Ying. She is considered a big name in the entertainment industry, having previously found and dressed up some of the top artists. He is known to have a good eye for talent and is astute in his criticism. If he claims that one has no future, then surely that person will not succeed in the industry.

But Ye Xingling was unwilling to break her contract back then.

She has a close relationship with her sister, and she desperately needs cash to pay for her sister's exorbitant grooming fees. Therefore, kneeling down and begging in front of Tan Ying, he applied for a loan to the company and promised to work double to achieve the best results and pay back the company.

Xia Ling had to admit, Ye Xingling was a person with great determination. He was able to convince Tan Ying, who was known to have a stone heart in the industry, to give him a chance. The company paid him a large sum of money up front, which he had to pay after his debut along with interest. However, if he was eliminated before debut, he would have to pay off his debt within that year, otherwise…

Xia Ling narrowed her eyes, feeling sympathy for Ye Xingling.

In his previous life, he had heard certain rumors about Skyart Entertainment. It said the company was owned by the Li family - a family associated with the underworld. In addition to caring for their artists, the entertainment company is also suspected of meddling in some underworld businesses. If someone offends a company with such a shady background…

Good. Maybe he shouldn't sympathize with Ye Xingling. Ye Xingling left for good and there was no need to worry about these things anymore. All of her problems were now Xia Ling's problems.

If it was up to her, Xia Ling would not step into the entertainment industry again in this life. He already stood at the peak of fame in his previous life, receiving and enjoying the most enthusiastic support from the fans, and also experiencing the most sinister schemes. He could not think of anything that would interest him about the entertainment industry anymore. In addition, the industry reminded him of everything about "that man" ...

The pain rippled in his heart, as he tried to suppress his memory of "that man".

If possible, Xia Ling hoped that Ye Xingling could be officially eliminated during her training stage and lead a normal life. However, due to the huge debt Ye Xingling had incurred, this was simply wishful thinking. Xia Ling did not know how to pay her debt because she knew nothing but singing.

Therefore, not only could he not leave, but he had to stay and debut successfully.

Xia Ling sighed deeply and forced a smile.

Heaven must be joking with him. The amount Ye Xingling owed to the company, despite being said to be a large loan, was actually only a few million dollars. In his previous life, whatever Xia Ling bought would easily be around this amount. But this time he was confused. He had no choice but to continue working and suffering in this strange entertainment industry.

In the persona of substandard trainees on the verge of elimination no less.

Xia Ling was gradually getting used to her new identity.

The days spent at Skyart Entertainment went well. Every day was a standard routine - she would wake up at the same time, practice singing and dancing, and then take a bath before going to bed. Perhaps for some, an intensive 12-hour workout a day is grilling. However, after experiencing all the slander and despair in her past life, simple life was like heaven for Xia Ling.

Day after day of training and getting used to her new body, Xia Ling was very happy to know that this body turned out to be very flexible. This was an innate talent, yet the previous owner of the body was unable to use it to its full potential. Otherwise, he wouldn't have lost to anyone in the industry after his debut, let alone been successful during this trainee period.

Even her vocal abilities are beautiful. Under normal-looking vocals, she had a hidden uniqueness that was second to none.

Xia Ling was overjoyed by his discovery. She may be disappointed with the entertainment industry, but her passion for singing and dancing is already ingrained in her bones. He must have been pitied by the Gods to be reborn in such a body.

As he familiarized himself with his new body, the coaches in each department were shocked to learn that Ye Xingling, the desperate student, had improved greatly after a week. He can do the whole routine without mistakes.

These compliments attract the jealousy of the trainees in the same class. In their impression, Ye Xingling was a useless trainee, there to last rank in the exam and to highlight the talent and elegance of others. Now, it was disappointing that those useless trainees had improved.

Xia Ling planned her "repair" speed carefully. The pace of "improvement" is fast, but not excessive. After all, it was definitely inconceivable that a trainee who was nearly knocked out could rise up to be as skilled as a diva.

Even Luo Luo who had always been by his side was unaware of any abnormalities.

Luo Luo ran over and jumped towards Xia Ling, reaching for her elbow affectionately. He looked at Xia Ling with an innocent smile and asked, “Xingling! Should we go eat together? ”

Xia Ling controlled her desire to massage her temples.

Luo Luo had bothered him in the past few days. This innocent and energetic girl clung to him harder than chewing gum. No matter how much Xia Ling tried, she couldn't seem to get rid of him. Well, they're not "friends" for nothing…

It all started three months ago.

Just then, Luo Luo arrived at the training camp after passing her audition. Since he was still not used to everything, there was one time he went to the wrong classroom and missed an important clue from the coach. In the training camp everyone was a competitor, so no one was willing to help Luo Luo other than Ye Xingling. The result might be terrible, but he still tried his best to send all the information he remembered to Luo Luo.

From then on, Luo Luo saw Ye Xingling as her good friend.

However, Xia Ling now did not need “friend”.

Opening your heart and growing too close to others is the dumbest thing to do in this world. Be it kinship, friendship, or love.

Handsome yet cold, a god-like memory of the "man" appears again. Every scene together flashed through his mind. Suddenly, he felt his heart writhing in pain. "Pei Ziheng ..." He mumbled slowly.

"What did you say?" Luo Luo looked at him curiously. “Quick ~ if we are late to the canteen, there will be nothing good left for us! Xingling, hurry up ~ Today's menu is your favorite cod and lettuce! ” He urges her with a smile.

Xia Ling was stunned back to her senses and followed Luo Luo towards the canteen.

It was lunch time. Everyone from the company is heading in the same direction. Xia Ling and Luo Luo chatted while walking - well, most Luo Luo spoke and Xia Ling listened to her in silence.

"Would you?" Luo Luo walked with a spring in her steps, her short hair bouncing, looking adorable like a rabbit. “This upcoming month-end test is no ordinary test! I heard that Shen Manyao is coming to pick a dancer for his new MV! "

Oh. Xia Ling responded indifferently, uninterested in the conversation.

Luo Luo suddenly pressed down. “Xingling! Did you hear me? This is Shen Manyao! SHEN MANYAO'S! He is a real star, unlike us trainees who have yet to debut! If we can be selected to participate in his MV dance troupe, it would be a great opportunity! It's really filming a video clip and not just a rehearsal! ”

"Is that?"

Luo Luo looked at him as if she was staring at a monster. “Xingling, why is your reaction so warm? Are you not excited at all? ”

What makes you excited? It took some time even to figure out who this "Shen Manyao" was. In his previous life, he did not have extensive connections. With the great boss of Imperial Entertainment, Pei Ziheng, showering him with adoration, coupled with the protection of the internationally renowned first-rate manager, Chu Chen, Xia Ling could be described as an arrogant and domineering person and paid no attention to anyone. Back then, he wasn't even willing to spend an ounce of energy recalling small stars of different classes.

The only reason he even remembered Shen Manyao was because Shen Manyao had once offended him.
