Consequently, many companies backed out of collaborating with her once they learned she could no longer perform her classic songs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, what the fans loved were her greatest hits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she couldn’t draw in the fans, wouldn’t the very purpose of hiring her be diminished?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No capitalist was willing to lose money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their eyes, everyone had a different value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They spent money to monetize that value, and only by reaping an even greater value in return could it be considered a profitable investment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, if Darling weren’t so strapped for cash, she would have happily retired and spent her days traveling long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The problem was, she was broke!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was merely a D-level female who, by virtue of being a diva, had attracted three A-level males as mates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because she was unable to provide them with deep spiritual soothing, two of her mates had already passed away, and the remaining one was now in a state of convalescence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, the only males by her side in the prime of their lives were two B-level males.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had some assets, but their income couldn’t be called wealthy—at best, it was middle-class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The issue was that after years of being a diva, she had grown accustomed to a life of luxury. Her current lifestyle seemed incredibly tight to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why she wanted to make a comeback and earn money, but she hit a wall at every turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s just how the entertainment industry was. New talent emerged every year, and once the old-timers were out of the public eye for too long, they were forgotten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the past few months, she had been warming the bench at Tianwen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even some of the newcomers would mock her, both openly and behind her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes Darling would wonder if preserving her glamorous image and bowing out would be the most graceful exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she couldn’t accept it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entertainment industry was a corrupt world, true, but it was also the easiest path to fame and fortune for low-level females like her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spiritual power test at age three divided everyone into different Levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter where you went, people judged your worth based on your Level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only in the entertainment industry could Low-level Beastmen like them defy their station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she hadn’t become a diva and gained so many fans, how could someone with her background possibly have married A-level males?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now her sons were grown, and their Spiritual Power Levels were both C-level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She needed a lot of money to pave the way for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So when she received the notice for an audition from the company, she warmed up her voice at home early, put on some light makeup, and rushed over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she arrived, she realized she was too early, but she waited patiently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this time, four of her juniors from the same company arrived one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made her realize that this opportunity would likely be won through the audition!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She silently cheered herself on: ’Darling, you can do this. Think about your past glory, think about your two lovely sons.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the recording studio’s instructor arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since everyone’s here, let’s begin. Darling, you’re first. Any problem with that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darling shook her head, took a deep, nervous breath, and said, \"I’m ready.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then come on in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering the recording booth, Darling was momentarily surprised to see Jiang Qin already sitting there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a singer, she had naturally followed the show *Interstellar Composer* and recognized Jiang Qin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t expected Jiang Qin to be present at today’s audition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Could it be... I’m going to sing a new song by Jiang Qin?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of the year-end chart battle in December, Darling’s heart pounded with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hear you can’t sing your old songs anymore, is that right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the question, Darling felt a pang of anxiety but chose to tell the truth. \"Yes, I can’t sing high notes anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever I try to sing a high note, I get a sharp pain in my throat. I’ve seen a doctor, but they couldn’t find anything wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The doctor just said it’s probably because of my age, that my voice has changed along with it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To put it bluntly, she was older, so her voice wasn’t as resilient as it used to be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay. Have you heard my songs?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you sing them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qin nodded. \"Then pick one and sing it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darling chose \"Tomorrow Will Be Better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She actually preferred \"As Wished,\" but she couldn’t hit the notes, so she had to settle for a song that was less likely to cause her to make a mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she listened, however, Jiang Qin’s brow furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darling was too focused on technique. And perhaps because her voice had made her insecure, she was timid when she started the song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a song brimming with youthful energy, yet she somehow managed to sing all the character right out of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, it was clear she had some fundamental skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The biggest problems were her lack of confidence and her failure to let her voice loose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the song, Darling waited nervously for Jiang Qin’s critique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, she had been bold and unrestrained; she’d never cared so much about what others thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after so many setbacks since her comeback attempt and hearing so much criticism, her confidence was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She started to care about the audience’s opinion, to hold back her own style, and to fear hearing any negative feedback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qin could see her nervousness and said gently, \"That was pretty good, you just didn’t quite let your voice loose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would you mind singing another one? This time, pick something you’re comfortable with. The style doesn’t matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as it’s something that lets you relax.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This actually put Darling in a difficult position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What she was best at were, of course, her own greatest hits, but her voice would crack the moment she tried to sing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for other songs, she could sing them well, but not with any soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, she thought of a song and asked, \"Would a folk tune from my hometown be okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darling then sang a little ditty in Vietnamese.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Jiang Qin’s eyes light up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’A minority language... how rare.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Darling, whose voice sounded a bit flat when singing in Mandarin, sounded somewhat languid when she sang in Vietnamese.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t expected this singer to have such a pleasant surprise in store for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she crossed out the song she had originally prepared and wrote down the name of another one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed Vietnamese songs suited her better than Mandarin ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, you can go back for now. Wait for your agent’s notification regarding any follow-up work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On your way out, please tell the next singer to come in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darling didn’t dare ask about the audition results, afraid of displeasing Jiang Qin, so she could only leave for the time being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the recording booth, she turned to the boy sitting closest to the door and said, \"It’s your turn. Go on in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1295,"2026-06-05T22:55:33.682Z",1,"novelbin.me","ac3ad4104840e220f183db5cc396b3fef6b1bfb09fc3b790482dd08b7d066d7b","a-low-rank-female-goes-viral-across-the-galaxy-chapter-176","a-low-rank-female-goes-viral-across-the-galaxy-chapter-174",500,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fa-low-rank-female-goes-viral-across-the-galaxy-cover.jpg"]
