"But it was only that one time I was deceived, so I guess that counts as lucky?" Yu Yinyin smiled. "Later, because of this incident, it was reported in the news, and a very reputable hospital found me. They said they could treat me. I paid the money and underwent the treatment.
The treatment was quite painful. Every stage required photographs, and I was terrified every time I faced the camera. Because the lens could reflect my face, I would look at myself...
How could I be so ugly? I really looked like a monster...
Those photos are already quite widespread online. Not only did you think I looked like a monster, but I thought so too.
It wasn't until the treatment ended that my face finally recovered little by little.
At that time, the doctor said that maintaining this current condition would require very expensive后期 maintenance. So, I thought about continuing to sing.
Wanmeng Entertainment's audition advertisements were quite grand back then, and I saw them. I signed up and passed the audition.
I cherished this opportunity so, so much...
I had no stage experience. Besides practicing day and night, I really didn't know what else I could do.
But then one day, a staff member informed me that I had been fired. They threw all my belongings out late at night.
They even said that even though they fired me, it was a breach of contract on my part, and I would have to pay 200,000 yuan.
I... all my money was spent on turning myself from a monster into a normal person. Where could I possibly get the money?
The debt of two hundred thousand yuan felt like a mountain, suffocating me.
That was the first time I wanted to commit suicide.
At that moment, I felt like I had already tried my best just to survive. Living was truly too exhausting.
I still remember it was raining heavily that day. I don't know why, but I dialed the number Qing Tian had left me. She answered the phone quickly. Perhaps she could sense my terrible state, so she came to pick me up and took me back to her place.
Later, she found friends to help me negotiate with Mr. Yu from Wanmeng Entertainment. However, because of my inexperience, I almost signed another, even more exploitative contract. If I had truly signed that contract, I might never have had a chance to rise in my life. When Qing Tian's friends pointed out the loopholes in the contract, my hands were trembling. I couldn't understand why I, who had never harmed anyone, was being schemed against like this.
Later, the contract was finally terminated. Qing Tian paid the two hundred thousand yuan for me and introduced me to her former agent, Sister Ning, allowing me to enter Gu's Entertainment for basic training. I honed my vocal skills and stage performance little by little. I didn't have to worry about being kicked out of the dance studio halfway through practice, or living under someone else's scrutiny. No one treated me like a monster. Every day I woke up was filled with hope, and I learned new things.
That feeling was incredibly blissful. I felt like I had truly started living from that moment on, living like a 'person.'
Later, Sister Ning helped me find work for role songs and encouraged me to participate in auditions. Qing Tian also helped me find Teacher Ling Feng Han, who helped me revise the music and adjust my singing style... When I was on stage, I was truly happy. I could sing again.
Afterward, my cover of 'Ying Yue' went viral. At that moment, I thought, 'This is great. I'll soon be able to pay off my debts with my own abilities... I can repay those who have been good to me... I'm useful.'
Unexpectedly, my plastic surgery was soon reported. It felt like someone on a cloud suddenly plummeted into an abyss, a feeling of falling without a bottom, my entire being lost and confused.
That was... the second time I thought about suicide.
I stood by the window, looking down at the people coming and going. I thought, if I jumped, I should die quickly.
But what if I hit someone? What if I landed on someone's car?
Then I thought about slitting my wrists, but what if the blood pooled on the ground? Could it be cleaned up?
Finally, I thought about hanging myself. Hanging is truly excruciatingly painful, please don't try it.
No, suicide itself is an extremely, extremely painful thing. Please don't go down that path."
Yu Yinyin said earnestly, waving her hands and shaking her head.
"Indeed, everyone should cherish their lives," the host immediately chimed in.
[I'm crying... Miss sister is truly pitiful...]
[Can those who spread rumors online be shot a hundred times?]
[Rumors are easy to spread, but refuting them is exhausting! Spreading rumors should be severely punished, making an example to deter others, and then they won't dare to do it again!]
[This is so disgusting, Wanmeng Entertainment is trying to push someone to their death!]
[You really need to read contracts carefully. I was also cheated by my company's contract earlier this year, working for half a year for free and not receiving a single cent! Wanmeng Entertainment, go to hell!]
[Can you guys use your brains a little? Everything she's saying is false. If she were really dead, could she be here playing the victim?]
[Exactly, it's clearly false and she's playing the victim. I don't believe it at all. Is she acting in a sad drama?]
"One should cherish life. I regret it very much now," Yu Yinyin said, pulling open her collar. On her fair neck, the ligature mark, though not as terrifying as it had been a few days ago, was still very conspicuous. "It hurt a lot. If the tools hadn't been of poor quality, or if Qing Tian hadn't come to find me sooner, I might have..."
With a wry smile, Yu Yinyin continued, "It hurt a lot, and it still hurts."
"Knowing it hurts, don't do it again," Xia Qing Tian said, holding Yu Yinyin's hand in hers. "You are not allowed to do such foolish things that please your enemies and sadden your loved ones anymore."
"Mhm," Yu Yinyin squeezed Xia Qing Tian's hand back. "I won't try to die again. I won't let them hurt me anymore. Before, I had no way out, only the path to death. But it's different now. I have a way out."
She had already recovered her memory. She was no longer the timid, insecure, and cowardly Yu Yinyin.
[Holy crap, I'm absolutely bawling... girlshelpgirls!]
[Qing Tian is so gentle. If it weren't for her, Yu Yinyin might have been forced to death by those bad people!]
[Don't cry, miss sister, everything will get better.]
[It's such a sad and inspiring moment, yet I'm sensing some romance, is something wrong with me?]
[I sensed it too: 'Before, I had no way out, only the path to death. But it's different now. I have a way out, and you are my way out.']
[Oh my god... how can this be? I'm truly crying so hard I can't breathe...]
[Never mind playing the victim, but she's also stepping on Wanmeng Entertainment to play the victim. The script is well-written. Gu's Entertainment is worthy of being an industry giant, a production of a golden screenwriter, amazing.]
[Exactly, what real stories can there be in the entertainment industry? She claims to have amnesia? I claim to be her father!]
At this moment, the staff immediately brought up Yu Yinyin's medical records and brain CT scans and officially issued a reward for finding Yu Yinyin's family.
With this move, those clowns disappeared one by one.
