Deep Sea Sound has always been a major event in the entertainment industry, not only attracting half of the industry’s stars but also gathering the attention of nearly all the media. The concentration of stardom makes tonight destined to be unforgettable.

Starting at 4 in the afternoon, celebrities arrive one after another, first walking the red carpet, participating in media interviews, and then entering the venue to find their seats, waiting for the gala to begin.

Speaking of which, what celebrities in the entertainment industry compete for is a ranking, and the seating at the venue to some extent represents a celebrity’s rank in the industry, always a spot fiercely contested by stars and their teams. Of course, this depends on the star’s charisma and the team’s influence.

The organizers had already announced the attending celebrity guests early on, including famous directors, best actor and actress winners, pop kings and queens, top trending newbies, and a bunch of secondary and tertiary stars playing the supporting roles, making it very lively.

Luuo Yunqi is a newcomer in the industry, still too early to talk about rank, thus her entrance was scheduled earlier, hitting the red carpet at four-thirty.

She wore a luxury brand’s couture gown on the red carpet—certainly not something a star of her rank could typically borrow—and she even paid out of pocket for the best stylists and makeup artists. Her appearance on the red carpet was dazzling and striking.

Unfortunately, the scandal of her implicating Shen You’an broke just two days ago; no matter how beautifully she was dressed, she looked like someone with a heavy agenda, not endearing at all.

However, the media couldn’t help but marvel at how she, though young, was a great prospect for the industry. Despite the scandal, she could attend events without a hint of embarrassment or nervousness—her thick skin comparable to a city wall and her psychological resilience outstanding.

It is indeed the case; celebrities fear being ignored more than criticized.

After walking the red carpet, Luuo Yunqi instructed her assistant to contact photographers to take shots of her on the red carpet, insisting on reviewing each photo before they were posted.

Luuo Yunqi entered the venue and found her seat was assigned to the sixth row, her face immediately fell.

If the company intervened, they could at least arrange for her to be in the third row. The sixth row is no different than being among the crowd.

The more established stars have separate lounges; she, being relatively unknown, could only wait at her seat. Luuo Yunqi meticulously selected photos and posted them to her Weibo.

Even before they became a hit, the backlash had started, with a slew of comments insulting her—criticisms labeled her as a malicious, scheming woman who should be ousted from the entertainment industry.

The first hot comment criticizing her gained thirty thousand likes in just ten minutes...

Luuo Yunqi had never experienced this kind of attention.

The profiles of those criticizing her were largely fans of Shen You’an or fans of the Shen You’an and Rong Xianning pairing.

Shen You’an did not receive blowback from her fans, but instead, Luuo Yunqi suffered the fallout.

Half an hour later, the criticism’s top comment reached one hundred fifty thousand likes.

Luuo Yunqi was not upset; she had mentally prepared herself long ago—this is all attention, the more people criticize her, the better.

Her assistant, Xiao Hong, showed her the phone: "Qiqi, take a look, the official Deep Sea Sound account just announced that the mysterious surprise guest is Shen You’an."

The new assistant Xiao Hong was much more perceptive than the previous one.

Luuo Yunqi snatched the phone.

In the photo, the young girl’s smile was simple and clean, exactly the face that made Luuo Yunqi grit her teeth in hatred.

"She’s the headline announcement, and she’s less experienced than you. How does she deserve it?"

Luuo Yunqi ground her teeth: "Because she has backing."

Rong Xianning was also part of the headline announcement.

The two have been the hottest topic this year, especially after appearing on the variety show Travelogue, their fan pairing skyrocketed wildly, reaching incredible levels of popularity, making them undeniably the top stars of the year.

Initially, when Deep Sea Sound announced guests, these two were not mentioned, so fans thought they wouldn’t attend. Who could have guessed they’d be surprise headline guests?

This truly is a huge surprise.

For fans of the pairing, it’s a feast of festivities.

Luuo Yunqi glanced at the scene; there were not many people around, only some staff and security moving through the venue.

"Can you check where Shen You’an’s seat is?"

The assistant blended in as venue staff and returned after a round: "In the first row, right next to Deep Sea executives."

"Rong Xianning is in the second row."

Luuo Yunqi’s face twisted immediately.

"The first row?"

The assistant was also puzzled: "Better than the seats for those best actors, actresses, pop kings and queens, how can a newcomer like her deserve it?"

Luuo Yunqi finally realized the weight of President Lv’s words about Shen You’an’s complex background and the warning not to provoke her lightly.

Shen You’an’s background might be even more complicated and powerful than she thought.

As time passed, more and more people filled the venue, and on trending topics, various teams were trying everything to stand out at tonight’s star-studded event.
