Three Kingdoms: Start by marrying Cai Yan, then vie for supremacy.

Just as many netizens on Weibo did not watch the live broadcast of "I Am a Singer", many users of Chinese music platforms also missed the show.

They listened to the top four songs on the charts one by one.

On this world's music platform, each user has only three free listening opportunities for new songs; after that, they must pay. Copyright protection is extremely strict, and piracy will face severe penalties, even imprisonment.

The first song played was the top-ranked song, "Lady Shexiang".

"The Wumeng Mountains connect to mountains beyond mountains..."

"The moonlight shone on Xiangshui Beach..."

"Can anyone tell me...?"

"But the heavens are calling for you..."

"Crossing a mountain and a river..."

"Through mountains and rivers, we will never be lonely..."

"You came, your youth became a legend..."

"The azaleas never fade..."

The melody, progressing layer by layer from low to high, amazes first-time listeners. The song possesses both a simple charm and a stunning performance, making it difficult to define simply.

Then, they clicked on "Painting Heart," which was ranked second.

"Look at **, it's your lost soul..."

"I can't guess, it's the color of your pupils..."

"A gust of wind, a dream, love is as unpredictable as life itself..."

"What has bewitched your heart...?"

Zhang Liangying's voice lingered in the ears, and when she sang out that long "Ah—", the pitch gradually rose, eventually becoming as ethereal and stunning as a dolphin's voice, striking straight to the soul.

Immediately afterwards, everyone eagerly played the third song, "Bubble." After the stunning performances of the first two songs, they had no doubt about the quality of this one.

As expected, "Bubble" lived up to expectations.

"Beautiful bubbles, though fleeting sparks..."

"All your promises, though so fragile..."

"Love is like a bubble; if you can see through it, what's there to be sad about..."

Even the most beautiful flowers wither and fade after they bloom...

Even the brightest star, after a brief flash, will fall...

Deng Ziqi's unique voice and the melody she composed perfectly combined once again brought a strong impact to the audience.

Finally, they clicked on Zhang Jie's "The World".

"With love in my life, what fear is there of wind and sand..."

"Gray hairs cannot hold back youthful beauty..."

"I'd forsake a beautiful land for her radiant smile..."

"It's better than a lifetime of empty worries..."

"If the heart is free of resentment, then love and hate will follow her..."

"The world is vast, and the path of love is endless..."

The world can be abandoned, but she is the one I cannot betray.

……

After the four new songs concluded, the audience was left with nothing but awe!

"Oh my god, did I hear that right? All of these songs were written by Mo?"

"Mo is simply incredible! How is this possible?"

"What makes him so strong?"

"Releasing four new songs at once, and sweeping the top four spots!"

"From this day forward, Mo is my only idol!"

"Count me in! Let's all support Mo!"

"That's amazing!"

……

Just as everyone was discussing it, CCTV suddenly dropped a bombshell on Weibo!

Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to it, and the gossip about "I Am a Singer" from last night was suddenly forgotten.

The top trending search list on Weibo prominently displayed the following:

CCTV strongly recommends Phoenix Myth's new song "Lady Shexiang"!

Netizens were completely bewildered:

"What's going on? CCTV actually liked Phoenix Myth?"

"Phoenix Myth has released so many songs, but CCTV has only ever praised 'Underwater' before."

What's so special about this poem, "Lady Shexiang"?

Junlin Entertainment.

Mo was leisurely playing Candy Crush when Linghua suddenly pushed the door open and rushed in, startling him so much that he almost dropped his phone.

Before he could even speak, Linghua excitedly exclaimed, "Master! This is fantastic news! The central government publicly praised us!"

"Hmm?" Mo immediately quit the game, raising an eyebrow as he asked, "What exactly happened?"

Suzuka exclaimed excitedly, "Look at Weibo! The whole internet is talking about it!"

Silence: "...Can't you just say it directly?"

He reluctantly opened Webo.com to check the details himself.

……

Seaside villa.

Hua Chenyu lay lazily on the beach, squinting as he admired the bikini-clad beauties beside him, feeling incredibly content.

Leaving the entertainment industry isn't so bad; at least you won't have to pretend anymore.

"Hua Hua! Something's happened!"

A startled cry interrupted his enjoyment, and Hua Chenyu glared at the newcomer with displeasure—how dare they disturb his sightseeing!

Upon seeing Zhang Bichen walking towards her, Hua Chenyu frowned deeply. Why was this woman so persistent?

Since he succeeded, he had lost all interest in Zhang Bichen, but the other party was like a piece of chewing gum that he couldn't get rid of.

"What is it?" Hua Chenyu asked impatiently.

Zhang Bichen glanced at the girls in bikinis on the beach and waved them all away.

"Huahua, the state media is supporting Mo again!"

These words stung Hua Chenyu like a needle, causing her to spring up abruptly from her recliner.

What?

Did state media give Merkel a thumbs up?

Why should I?!

"What did they say?!" Hua Chenyu's temples bulged with veins.

Zhang Bichen handed over the phone: "See for yourself."

A moment later, the sound of a cell phone shattering echoed from the coastline.

......

This news from the central media outlet instantly ignited nationwide attention.

As soon as Mo logged into Weibo, a special feature published by a central media outlet popped up on his homepage:

[Cheers to Phoenix Myth's new work, "Lady Shexiang"!]

"Congratulations to Phoenix Myth for winning the title of 'King of Singers' last night with their original song 'Lady Shexiang'!"

"When the melody of 'Lady Shexiang' plays, the cultural genes in the blood of every Chinese son and daughter tremble; it is a spiritual resonance that transcends six hundred years."

"Perhaps the younger generation is unfamiliar with this historical figure—Lady Shexiang, a Yi ethnic female politician whose life has been largely forgotten by time."

Her legendary story should be remembered by time!

"Let us, through the song of Phoenix Myth, relive the epic tale of this heroine:"

"Lady Shexiang (1361-1396), of the Yi ethnic group, was named Shezi. She was the Pacification Commissioner of Shuixi during the Ming Dynasty. This outstanding female politician was appointed to a critical post in the sixteenth year of the Hongwu reign. During her tenure, she built post roads connecting the southwest, established the Longchang Nine Post Stations to promote ethnic integration, and broke taboos to promote the Yi script, allowing the ancient civilization to be passed down."

"Zhu Yuanzhang personally bestowed upon her a brocade robe and jade belt, and conferred upon her the title of 'Lady Shunde.' She quelled border unrest, strengthened the unity between the Yi and Han peoples, and made indelible contributions to consolidating national unity."

Unfortunately, this glorious history is gradually being swallowed up by the tides of time...

"My God, this is a work from Phoenix Myth! Created by Mo!"

"Lady Shexiang absolutely deserves to be included in national music charts!"

……

While the post from the state media primarily praised Lady Shexiang, an ancient female politician, it also affirmed the myth of Phoenix.

After silently browsing the messages, a faint smile appeared on his face.

He had foreseen this outcome when he submitted the piece – works inspired by historical figures are bound to attract the attention of state media!

After all, in this time and space, Lady Shexiang is not very well-known, and there are few memorial sites dedicated to her. This song, therefore, has become a vehicle for spreading her story!

The Weibo platform instantly went viral.

Netizens were shocked after reading the lengthy article from the state media.

I initially thought it was just an ordinary song with a beautiful melody, but I never expected that the lyrics would contain such a profound historical background!

That legendary woman who lived during the same era as Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

Re-examining the lyrics, everyone suddenly understood—

The "Luojiao River" and "Weining Grass Sea" mentioned at the beginning must be the places where Lady Shexiang once stayed.

"Crossing towering mountains and boundless oceans," clearly recounts the arduous journey of this female politician.

"Before dawn breaks, Lady Shexiang returns by moonlight," these two short lines vividly depict her busy figure, working under the stars and moon.

As the melody of "You came into being, your youth is legendary, the azaleas of Baili never fade" played, countless listeners instantly teared up.

Yes!

The legend you left behind will never fade!

Your deeds will forever be etched in our hearts!

The entire internet erupted in celebration:

"I never imagined the lyrics held such a profound meaning!"

"At first, I was only amazed by the melody, but now I realize how vividly Mo portrayed the historical figures!"

"To portray an ancient theme so powerfully, Mo's creativity is simply divine!"

This piece deserves full marks!

"【Lady Shexiang】truly lives up to its reputation as the champion song of 【I Am a Singer】, it's absolutely stunning!"

"Thank you, Central Commission for Discipline Inspection! You've given me a new understanding of the profound meaning behind the name 'Lady Shexiang'! Thank you, Mo! You've introduced me to this outstanding female politician, Lady Shexiang!"

"Exceptional strength! Unmatched by anyone!"

"Silent arrival, who can rival him!"

……

Weber!

Douyin!

Xiaohongshu!

The news that CCTV gave a thumbs-up to Mo has been widely discussed online, attracting the attention of countless netizens.

"Ms. Mo, you're amazing!"

Inside Junlin Entertainment, Dilraba smiled radiantly as she spoke.

She returned to the company to rest after finishing filming.

Yang Mi smiled slightly: "Mo, Linghua, you two won this week's singing competition, shouldn't you treat us to a celebration?"

Suzuka readily agreed, "No problem!"

Mo raised an eyebrow and retorted, "Why should we? Do we have to treat you to dinner just because we won the championship?"

Yang Mi was taken aback: "You're so stingy! We're happy for you!"

"You glutton, your back won't be able to hold on if you keep eating!" Mo teased.

Yang Mi glared at him: "Mo, you're finished!"

After a bit of commotion, Mo finally succumbed to the relentless onslaught of the three beauties.

Who can withstand that!

Yang Mi, Dilireba, and Linghua pestered him relentlessly, begging him to treat them to a meal.

To be able to persist for so long, Mo's willpower is truly astonishing!

Just as he was about to leave, Mo suddenly stopped, staring at his phone.

"The central bank is looking for me."

……

"Really?" Yang Mi asked, blinking her big eyes.

Dilireba asked with a smile, "Teacher Mo, what did CCTV say?"

Linghua chimed in, "Master, stop keeping us in suspense!"

Seeing the three of them looking anxious, Mo deliberately closed his phone: "This has nothing to do with you."

He strode forward, then turned back to find them still standing there. Feigning surprise, he asked, "What? Don't want to eat anymore?"

Linghua pouted, "Master, that's not very nice of you!"

Dilraba covered her mouth and chuckled, "I didn't expect Teacher Mo to have such a little scheme..."

"Mo, stop being so mysterious, just tell me!" Yang Mi stamped her feet impatiently. "I'll treat you to dinner later, okay?"

Yang Mi stood with her hands on her hips, exuding confidence.

Mo chuckled and waved her hand, "You make it sound like I can't afford to treat you! Order whatever you like today, it's on me!"

Yang Mi bit her lip: "Mo, what do you want?!" She suddenly realized—this guy was clearly much richer than her.

Linghua smiled and said, "Sister Mi, Master is asking for trouble."

"Itchy skin?" Yang Mi asked, looking puzzled.

Mo laughed heartily, "As expected of my apprentice! Linghua understands me best!" She then sprawled on the sofa, "Who's first?"

Yang Mi and Dilraba looked at each other in bewilderment. It wasn't until they saw Linghua's actions that they suddenly realized what was going on.

"Mo you..." Yang Mi blushed instantly to the roots of her ears.

Dilraba covered her eyes, but couldn't help peeking through her fingers.

"Master, is the pressure okay?" Linghua sighed as she pressed, increasing the pressure on her hands.

Mo squinted contentedly: "So satisfying! Linghua, it's a shame your skills aren't being used!"

It turned out that Suzuka was giving him a massage.

When it was Yang Mi's turn, she clumsily tried to imitate the movements—she was usually served by others.

Finally, Dilraba completed the task with a blush on her face.
