In a music competition show, my rival unexpectedly played the melody I had in my mind before I could. Shocked, I confronted her, asking why she plagiarized me. However, she turned the accusation against me and said, "You said I stole your work, but do you have any proof?" However, I was unable to provide any concrete evidence. Thus, I was labeled as a bully and a plagiarist, ultimately meeting a tragic end. Even in my final moments, I couldn't figure out how she managed to steal something from my mind. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back on that same stage. Seeing that my rival was about to play her part, I stopped her and said, "This time, it's my turn to go first."
View MoreSweat trickled down her forehead as she panicked. I could tell she didn't even notice her voice trembling.Then, I looked at the audience calmly and said, "To the person who just picked up the pendant, please help me keep it. Sophia accuses me of plagiarism and even presents evidence. Yet, she dares not to compete with me when I request another round. I believe you guys can tell by now who is lying."Although my actions seemed odd, the people who came to support me today naturally knew me and my abilities.Everyone turned their gaze to Sophia, who was trembling. "She just accused Vanessa of plagiarism. Why isn't she defending herself now?""If she can create a melody like that in just ten minutes, she can definitely compose another piece."Sophia remained silent with a pale face. I continued confidently, "Today, I will compose another piece right here. Let's see who the liar is with our music styles."With that, I ignored the host's attempts to stop me and picked up the instrumen
As I thought about everything, I couldn't help but sneer.It turned out that they had already been scheming against me for a long time, intending to use me as a stepping stone to rise to the top.On the other hand, the audience, who had already been dissatisfied with me, began to shout in anger as they watched my rude actions.Sophia looked at me dead in the eyes and said, "That's enough, Vanessa. In the past, I didn't want to expose you because I pitied you growing up in such a poor place. However, I didn't expect you to repeatedly steal my music, including this time. You insisted on performing first today because you're afraid that if you didn't, you would have been exposed as a plagiarist. If I had known that my endurance would lead to your continued arrogance, I would have exposed you from the very beginning!"Her righteous words pushed the atmosphere to a boiling point.I didn't back down. Instead, I stared straight into her eyes and said, "You say I plagiarized your music, b
As the audience's murmurs gradually subsided, Sophia smiled sadly and said, "I know I'm no match for Vanessa. You all must be wondering why I would say such a thing, but I have to speak up when facing such plagiarism. After all, this isn't the first time she has done something like this."Her words caused the crowd to go into an uproar."Are these two out of their minds? Vanessa wouldn't plagiarize Sophia even if she were desperate.""This is just ridiculous. There's no way Vanessa would do such a thing when she's better than Sophia."However, Sophia didn't respond to their questions. Instead, she picked up her instrument from the stage and began to play the melody I had just played.The crowd went silent once more.It had happened again.My mind raced as I stood there.I couldn't understand. Given Sophia's limited skill, there was no way she could replicate my piece after hearing it just once. She must have stolen the music from my mind.But how?I was so consumed by my thou
"No." The word escaped my lips before I could even think.Seeing my continued refusal, the host had a grim expression while the audience erupted in a chorus of boos and insults.From a distance, Sophia looked at me with a smile and said, "Do you have something against me, Vanessa? I don't know why, but you've been targeting me ever since we stepped on stage. If you think I'm not worthy of being your opponent, it's okay. I'll just quit."Tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke, and her reaction instantly earned sympathy from the crowd. The audience got even angrier than me.At the same time, Derek picked up the microphone again and said, "Vanessa, everyone is deeply disappointed in your behavior today. We don't understand why you want to hurt Sophia and fight over the performance order. Your selfish motives are unbearable. You're not fit to become a musician."Derek's words served as my final condemnation.By now, the audience had synchronized their chants while pumping the air w
I was right! I breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Sophia.Sophia looked shocked and turned her gaze toward the host. "Why is there an extra number two in the box? Vanessa, although I don't know what's going on, I'm willing to let you perform first if you want."At that moment, the spotlight shifted to her face, and her actions instantly earned her another wave of applause from the audience. Meanwhile, I was painted as the petty antagonist.However, I didn't have time to sort it out now. Gritting my teeth, I fixed my gaze on Sophia and said, "Your family is an investor in this show. Don't tell me you have nothing to do with this!"Sophia was stunned. The next moment, tears fell from her eyes, and she replied, "I don't understand why you're always so hostile to me, Vanessa. I've already admitted you're better than me and even offered to let you perform first. Why are you still dissatisfied?"I was infuriated as I watched her feign innocence. However, I was at a loss for words.
Sophia turned to the camera with a smile and said, "What's wrong with you today, Vanessa? Do you really want to win so much? It's okay. If you want to perform first, I'll let you have it." As she spoke, she moved her hand, which was holding the paper, backward.Watching her gesture, I further confirmed my suspicions."I don't need that," I said coldly. "I just want to see what number you drew."Looking at my solemn expression, Sophia smiled and said, "Vanessa, although we're competitors, winning or losing is not a big deal. I hope you can relax instead of always being so tense. Look, I drew number one."With those words, she held up her paper toward the camera and blinked innocently.My face turned pale as I looked at the number one written on her paper.So, this wasn't the problem. Perhaps the manipulation was elsewhere, but Sophia had guessed my suspicions. That was why she deliberately withdrew her hand slightly. It was to make me believe my own assumptions!I tried to say so
Before I could think further, I instinctively swatted Sophia's arm away.In my previous life, she had also linked her arm through mine along this same path.'Could it be physical contact? Can she steal my thoughts through physical contact?' I thought.The more I thought about it, the more horrifying it felt. However, Sophia didn't give me time to think as she fell to the ground and looked at me with reddened eyes."I just wanted to help you, Vanessa. Why did you push me away? I think I sprained my ankle. It hurts so much. Can you help me get up?" As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, making her look pitiful.However, I didn't move. After all, if Sophia truly stole my work through physical contact, then avoiding any contact with her might allow me to take control of my destiny.As I thought about it, I shuddered and hurried into my room without wasting another second. Then, I started to piece together the melody from my past life.Since God had given me another chance, I was
"Let's give a round of applause to our musical prodigies!"Amidst the cheers, I opened my eyes in shock. At that moment, I realized I was back on that very stage where it all began.When my fans saw my bewildered expression, they screamed even louder. "You got this, Vanessa! We've seen your talent. You're definitely the champion today!"Hearing their shouts, Sophia, who was seated beside me, looked at me with a smile."I didn't expect we'd meet in the finals, Vanessa. Looks like I'll have to prepare well for this match," she said.However, her gentle expression sent a chill down my spine.Then, those painful memories from my previous life came rushing back.Sophia and I had once been hailed as the rising twin stars of the entertainment industry. Her background was prestigious, but my talent far surpassed hers. Perhaps out of youthful pride, I chose to face her head-on in this competition show. However, no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't understand how she managed
