"You just write the melody. I will spend forever catching your notes." In his first life, Zixuan was nothing more than a tragic footnote. As a talented rookie trapped under the ruthless corporate tyranny of Starfield Entertainment, his voice was systematically silenced, his spirit psychologically broken, and his career ended with an extortionate multi-million-dollar breach-of-contract penalty. Driven to absolute despair, Zixuan chose to end his misery by leaping from a freezing concrete rooftop. The world believed his story was over. But music has its own way of demanding a reckoning. This time, Zixuan is no longer walking alone in the dark. Right by his side is Yifán-a man who, in this lifetime, refuses to be a second too late to build an unyielding fortress around his muse's voice. This is a story of corporate greed unmasked, the rise of a new musical empire, and a devotion powerful enough to completely rewrite a dead man's score.

Simone Carter is a quiet, grounded singer who started out performing in a group with her sisters before stepping away at 18 to pursue a solo career. As she builds her own path in the music industry, her work eventually brings her into contact with Michael, what starts and a friendship through business builds into something more.

She arrived with nothing but a voice that rearranged the air in every room she entered. He heard her once through a studio monitor and understood something he had never been taught to name. What grew between them was never permitted. What watched them from the forty-second floor was never going to allow it. Melissa Roberts built a following from a Memphis bathroom with a phone and six languages she taught herself by ear, never believing the industry would come for her with an offer she could not refuse and a clause designed to control who she loved. Jae Park arrived from Koreatown, Los Angeles, with a hard drive, a mother's medical debt, and the kind of talent that made powerful men calculate how to own it before it could own itself. They found each other in the margins of a building that did not believe in margins. They built something real in a space engineered to make real things impossible. Conrad Welles had spent three decades learning that everything could be acquired. What he felt when he heard her voice was not desire in any form he recognized. It was something older and more patient. Something that stopped performing reasonableness the moment he understood he could not have it. It is a story about what two people built while something powerful tried to unbuild them, about the cost of loving someone in a room where love was considered a threat, and about the price of a freedom that arrived too late to save what mattered most. It does not end well. It was never going to. © Relle H. all rights reserved.
