Chapter 1: The Death of Yanqi

Sheng Yuguo, February 15, 3021.

Within half an hour of its release, an entertainment news article quickly climbed to the top of the search lists due to its high number of clicks:

"The 20-year-old actress Li Yanqian died suddenly at home early in the morning today, confirmed by her family."

People who were still immersed in the New Year's atmosphere began to speculate and discuss the matter.

Li Yanqian rose to fame through her participation in a holographic live-action TV series. However, her popularity was not the kind associated with admiration and adoration, but rather the kind associated with criticism and contempt.

In the rapid development of high technology in 3021, the film and television industries continued to evolve. Traditional scripted TV dramas could no longer satisfy the demanding appetite of the public.

At this time, a small film and television company called "Feiyue" took a different approach. They collaborated with popular holographic games to create a new form of holographic real human TV series.

This type of TV series had no script; it consisted of group performances set in the game, with real people invited to participate. After signing the participation contract, the actors would lie in a translucent AI electronic warehouse and enter the world of TV dramas with a completely new identity. They would immerse themselves in their performances, completely forgetting their real-life identities.

Li Yanqian participated in this TV series, portraying an extremely despicable and malicious character, which led to severe criticism from the audience.

Li Yanqian became the epitome of a villainous female character, despised by the viewers. Even when she went out in public, she faced verbal attacks, insults, and even physical aggression.

Li Yanqian's home.

Father Li, who appeared several decades older, stared at a black-and-white portrait of his beloved daughter. Next to him was Liang Mengjia, who was crying and sobbing.

"I'm sorry, Dad. It's my fault. I shouldn't have let her participate in that TV series. It's all my fault," Liang Mengjia's voice was hoarse from crying. She had been handling Li Yanqian's funeral meticulously for nearly two days, and her pale, exhausted face made Li Yue unable to blame his eldest daughter anymore.

"It's my fault. I should never have agreed to cooperate with that game company, let alone let Yanqian participate in the show," Li Yue said, fixing his gaze forward.

"In the TV series, my sister played the role of the heroine. I also asked them to give her two abilities. It was my thoughtlessness. I didn't provide enough protection for my sister, and I never expected her to make those choices that caused the audience to lose control of their emotions..."

Liang Mengjia kept confessing her mistakes, but she also defended herself. She secretly glanced at Li Yue, whose eyes were already red, but Li Yue seemed lost in the old photos. He didn't seem to be paying attention to what she had just said, and naturally, he ignored the subtle satisfaction in Liang Mengjia's eyes.

After a long silence, Li Yue let out a sigh. "I am getting old. Once this ill-fated funeral is over, I will return to our hometown. Fei Yue... I leave it to you!"

Li Yue never looked at her again from beginning to end. Liang Mengjia lowered her head and laughed at herself. Although she was just an adopted daughter of the Li family, after so many years of father-daughter relationship, did it have to end with Li Yanqian's death?
