“What’s with her outfit? Is she trying out a new makeup trend? Is she trying to stand out?”


    “She should just get off the stage to save the embarrassment!”


    Sh was in the midst of her performance, standing at the center of the stage, oblivious to the barrage ofments.


    As the surrounding lights dimmed, she seamlessly transformed into the character she portrayed.


    The tumultuous blend of emotions, entwining hatred and love, evoked memories of a person-Arturo.


    Such contradictory feelings, intricate and painful, rendered her unable to shed a tear.


    Sh’s eyes, filled with despair, sadness, and madness, turned red as she suppressed the welling tears.


    Her tattered attire entuated the fragility she portrayed.


    The onught ofizenments gradually waned, seemingly influenced by the power of her performance.


    Only at the moment of Sh’s character’s “death” did the pain in her eyes transform into a serene peace.


    With closed eyes, a relieved smile graced her lips, and a tear quietly fell.


    As the white light on her faded, the entire stage suddenly illuminated.


    The audience, still caught immersed in the somber mood, took a moment to regain their senses.


    After a brief silence, apuse erupted from the judges’ table.


    Louis stood up, offering a round of apuse for Sh.


    Witnessing this, both those who wanted to apud and those who initially hesitated joined in.


    A wave of apuse swept through the theater, creating an electric atmosphere of appreciation


    and admiration.


    Kristy couldn’t hide her disappointment.


    She had keenly observed Louis, but his reaction to her performance was lukewarm, unlike the enthusiastic apuse he now bestowed upon Sh.


    She believed her performance mirrored Sh’s, so it came as an unexpected blow when Louis apuded for Sh.


    Why?


    Enraged, Kristy clenched her fists, digging her nails into her flesh.


    Jayleen’s expression beside her grew even more contorted with displeasure.


    Sh, who hadn’t engaged in acting for five years andcked the guidance of a skilled mentor, outshined Kristy.


    Sh’s performance even surpassed her own abilities from five years prior, leaving Jayleen grappling with iprehension.


    How Sh emerged unscathed from the ident remained a lingering question.


    Jayleen’s anger twisted her face, making her look unpleasant.


    Sh’s impressive performance felt like a personal insult to Jayleen.This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    The first round of the performance concluded, and while Sh’s talent was acknowledged, the viewer voting session was marred by usations.


    Many criticized her for beingte and used her of dancing in the park yesterday to boost her poprity.


    Professional rumor-spreaders exacerbated the situation, deliberately influencing public opinion and ultimately causing Sh to receive fewer votes than Kristy.
