“Tang Guo, if you won first place using those kinds of means, your success won’t last long.”

When Lu Qi found Tang Guo and saw that no one else was around, she spoke her mind the moment she opened her mouth and said, “I know you’re doing this because Ziyue chose me over you in the end. You can’t reconcile yourself to that fact and want to get back at me.

“But I’m telling you, I won’t back down. And I won’t let you have Ziyue.” Lu Qi spoke with due righteousness. Then, she added, “Someone like you isn’t even worthy of being by Ziyue’s side. The reason why he chose me is that he liked me before you.

“Tang Guo, one fine day, everyone will know your true face. Even if the man backing you grows even more influential and powerful, he won’t be supporting you for an entire lifetime.

“I advise you to keep yourself in check. Don’t do anything to provoke me again, because Ziyue has done something extreme. I’ve let you off time and again in my moments of weakness, going softhearted because Ziyue once owed you something. If you really make me angry, then don’t blame me for being harsh with you.

“Lastly, let me offer you a piece of advice. Ziyue is mine, so keep your hands off him.”

After finishing such a lengthy speech, Lu Qi marched off in a high and mighty manner without leaving even a minute’s time for Tang Guo to say anything in response.

Tang Guo stroked her chin and said, “What a retard. Do you think this female lead has gone haywire?”

[Or could it be that her rage was triggered by you, Host? Take it easy. This is a peaceful world, so just live your life well, can’t you?]

Tang Guo responded, “I am living my life well. And I didn’t provoke her either. She was the one who came looking for me. You have to be reasonable. It’s clear that I didn’t take the initiative to hurt her!”

[It’s true that you didn’t take the initiative to hurt her, but you stole her first place in “Beautiful Voices.” If it hadn’t been for you, she would have been a big hit by now.] The System sounded somewhat resentful. [Host, you have now ruined her first resource, causing her to not be as outstanding as she should be in the story. And even her character has slightly fallen apart.]

“She couldn’t get first because she wasn’t good enough. And yet, she still tried to create some secret arrangement. I merely sabotaged her plan by striking a secret deal for myself and creating a fair competition on this platform. I beat her. That’s my competency. I am indeed better than her. Are you going to admit it or not?

System: […] I admit!

“Then all’s good, isn’t it? I can’t always let her have her way just because she’s the female lead, right? My conscience is clear. After all, I want to live well too.

Tang Guo frowned and said, “Judging from your tone, it seems as if you don’t want me to have a good life and want me to create something out of nothing, no?”

The System got anxious and responded, [No, absolutely not. Really, nothing like that. Host, you just have to live well, that’s all. Don’t ever try to stir up trouble. You want to sing, so be a singer. Just go ahead. You are extremely good at it.]

According to the story plot, Lu Qi would participate in a variety show after a little while.

It was a good thing that, at least for now, the Host, Tang Guo, only wanted to sing. Without Tang Guo at the variety show, Lu Qi was bound to shine. And she would rely on her own strengths to attract a large crowd of fans.

Yes, this was it. The System laughed secretly. Why hadn’t he thought of this before? So long as the Host stayed away from the female lead, then she wouldn’t affect Lu Qi at all.

Even if Tang Guo was no longer in a supporting role, wouldn’t there still be other supporting characters around to bother Lu Qi and make her feel more stressed out?

Lu Qi couldn’t deal with the Host, but handling a few other little supporting characters would still be a piece of cake for her.

Tang Guo returned to the villa and saw a pile of belongings at the door. In actuality, there wasn’t much luggage—just two or three boxes.

While she stood there, wondering what was going on, the maid went up to her.

“Miss Tang, Sir said that there is no need for you to enter the villa. Your luggage has been packed, and the driver is already waiting over there. Miss Tang, you can just tell the driver where you want to stay from now on and get him to take you there.”
