While it was brightly lit along the corridor, the lights were out in the studios situated on both sides.

The quiet hallway gave way to the noise coming from Group F’s studio. Someone was dancing.

Shen Xi went up and gently pushed the door. The girl in the studio was earnestly yet clumsily trying to keep up the pace with Gu Yang on the big screen.

It was unclear how long she had been practicing. Sweat was slipping off her soaked hair, past her flushed cheeks, and all the way down to the floor beneath her feet.

The sight of the girl brought Shen Xi back to her previous life when Shen Xi first saw her on TV. She was a well-behaved and shy young girl.

Ye Weiyang had always been this way, coming across as gentle, sensible, and kind. However, the girl on stage was a different side to her. She was a queen who poured her life and soul to shine on stage.

It had been proven that this was the case. She debuted at nineteen and rose to fame with a single hit song a year later. Ye Weiyang fought through obstacles, earning awards and titles in China’s Music Hall of Fame as she conquered China and then the world. She was the pride of China for winning the greatest honor in music – a Grammy. She single-handedly put China on the map in the music scene.

Alas, her life ended at the tender age of 23, left frozen in time on that fateful cold snowy night.

That was right.

She committed suicide.

At 23, she was at the peak of her singing career. Everyone believed she would be China’s brightest star, taking local music to great heights.

Nevertheless, she died. Ye Weiyang suffocated herself by burning charcoal in an unventilated room. She donated all her estate and posthumous royalties from concerts to the Society of Mental Health Care, a local charity.

Two months before the suicide, she signed up to donate her organs. Ye Weiyang may have departed this world in the cruelest way to herself, but she left behind the last kindness to the world and those who needed it.

No one thought the meek and sensible girl in front of the media, the girl with the sweetest smile, the girl with tremendous stage presence, was plagued by depression.

She fought a vigorous battle with the Reaper until the day she could not take it anymore and made the tough decision of ending her life. Before she did the deed, Ye Weiyang had everything set, completed all her tours, and organized her last concert.

It never occurred to anyone that the concert was her last farewell. Her fans went mad while everyone who had ever crossed paths with her lamented over her death.

A year after her death, someone managed to dig out her past struggles.

Her mom passed away when she was three. Her dad remarried but her stepmother was unkind to her. The constant verbal and physical abuse from her stepmother was the reason why Ye Weiyang was shy and lacked self-confidence.

By the age of eighteen, she was working as a personal shopper in a mall when she was discovered by her manager, Xiao Xinjie, and thus began her legendary yet short life.

Everyone said she had Xiao Xinjie to thank for, but it was later found out that the so-called talent scout was the culprit who pushed her off the cliff and into oblivion.
