After Transmigrating as a Scum Omega, I Had a Happy Ending with My Ex-Wife [Entertainment Circle] - Chapter 9

As soon as the commercials ended, the bullet-chat was flooded with people cursing the production crew for being “non-human.”

The director, seeing this reaction, was extremely satisfied. This was all traffic, pure and simple—he had the audience’s emotions in the palm of his hand. He sipped his tea leisurely.

Meanwhile, the show continued.

Su Hua held the microphone and said, “The song I will be performing is ‘Degree’ (Dù).”

The moment those words left her mouth, Xu Xiyi, Cui Manxuan, and the other mentors, as well as the trainees who knew the song and the viewers at home, were all stunned.

This song doesn’t have many lyrics—only four short stanzas. These four stanzas are repeated three times, but the emotion and pitch presented in each repetition change completely. Many singers have covered it, but almost none can reach the level of the original singer; in fact, “car crashes” (failed covers) are numerous.

And now, a person known for being tone-deaf actually said she wanted to sing such a high-difficulty song?

【Is she here for comic relief?】

【So Su Hua is planning a new way to be a drama queen?】

【Where does she get the nerve to sing this song?】

【Hasn’t she always been audacious?】

【I can already sense the catastrophic scene that’s about to follow.】

【Heavens, I’m afraid to watch.】

【I want to mute the volume.】

【When others sing, it costs money; when she sings, it might cost lives.】

The most composed person present was Fu Mo. When this song was first released, it was a massive hit, topping various charts for a long time. It was also a song she had listened to repeatedly in her own playlist.

Fu Mo said, “Please begin your performance.”

Su Hua gave a small smile, then instantly withdrew it as she entered her state.

Everyone, whether on-site or at home, fell silent. When the musical intro began, people swallowed nervously—not out of anticipation, but out of fear.

But the moment Su Hua opened her mouth, everyone’s expression went blank.

“Look down at the sea of people,

Look up at the starry sky,

Take one step forward,

Close your eyes, open your eyes.”

The word Degree (Dù) means measurement, but it also means perspective.

The song is about a person coming into this world. If you view the world with a depressed heart, it feels like hell; if you view it with an ordinary heart, it is the mortal realm; if you view it with a generous and inclusive heart, it is paradise.

Four short stanzas. Three different emotional deliveries. Three different pitches representing different attitudes toward life.

A person on a high-rise, looking down at the crowd, looking up at the stars, taking a step forward to jump. A depressed person blinks and sees an abyss; an ordinary person sees the earth; a generous person sees the vast universe.

By the time Su Hua finished the first repetition, everyone’s heart felt heavy and stifled, as if they couldn’t breathe. Some of the trainees’ eyes grew red, and the viewers’ fingers stopped typing on their keyboards.

Then, her pitch shifted, her emotions transformed, and she sang the second repetition. Compared to the first, everyone’s emotions began to stabilize.

Finally, she transitioned again, and the third repetition rang out.

In this section, Su Hua used her high notes. The emotion in her voice became gentle and lingering, making listeners feel a sense of all-encompassing inclusion. Crucially, during the high notes, the girl’s breath was incredibly steady; her transitions and vocal runs were flawlessly controlled.

The expressions of mentors Xu Xiyi and Cui Manxuan turned solemn. They leaned forward in their seats, the light in their eyes revealing how much they valued this performance.

When the song ended, Su Hua bowed.

The hall was dead silent. The viewers at home forgot to react. It wasn’t until Xu Xiyi started clapping that everyone snapped out of it.

At this moment, everyone forgot that the girl before them was a person covered in scandals; they forgot the past. Their minds only held the visual and auditory feast of those three perspectives.

Xu Xiyi’s voice was thick with excitement. “You sang very well. You surprised me—no, I should say, you stunned me.”

Su Hua smiled. “Thank you, Teacher.”

Cui Manxuan said, “Su Hua, at this moment, my feelings are very complex.”

Su Hua looked at her.

Cui Manxuan turned back to look at the girls on the pyramid. Seeing their expressions, she turned back to Su Hua. “I believe the girls present also have very complex feelings.”

【Holy shit, holy shit, my feelings are also very complex!】

The viewers at home finally regained their senses and flooded the screen with bullet-chat.

Cui Manxuan continued, “You are different from how you appear online.”

Su Hua smiled but didn’t defend herself.

On the other side, Jiao Kai spoke up: “The other teachers have praised your singing, but… can you dance?”

【Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit. Only these words can express my mood right now.】

【Is this Su Hua? Is this an imposter with her face?!】

【Brothers and sisters, my heart still hasn’t settled down.】

【Who told me she was tone-deaf? Are you kidding me?】

【If this is tone-deaf, then I sound like a braying donkey.】

【Donkey braying +1】

【Teacher Jiao Kai, who loves dance, clearly doesn’t want to let Su Hua go yet.】

【Hahaha, I think her singing was enough.】

【I strangely have a sense of anticipation.】

【I feel like Su Hua might bring another surprise?】

【Are you guys crazy? Just because she sang one song, you think she can perform a miracle?】

【’Just because’? Bro, was that a simple song? That was Degree! Damn, that song’s difficulty is off the charts.】

Su Hua said, “I’ve prepared a piece, but I’d like to change my clothes.”

“Oh?” Jiao Kai raised an eyebrow with interest. Because she was the last trainee, and because her song had been such a genuine surprise, everyone began to look forward to the dance she had prepared.

“Just five minutes.” After saying that, Su Hua ran backstage. She had the staff bring her luggage, took out a pre-prepared outfit, and entered the dressing room. Soon, she reappeared before everyone.

Su Hua was wearing pink classical Chinese attire, holding a round silk fan (Tuánshàn) in her hand.

Jiao Kai looked at her outfit and smiled. “You’re going to perform a Chinese classical dance?”

“Yes, Teacher.”

Dressed in this outfit, Su Hua’s figure was perfectly outlined—slender waist, long legs, and an elegant, light posture.

“Begin.”

Su Hua wasted no time. She moved to the center of the stage, struck a pose, and the music began.

Her entire aura shifted instantly. Her facial expression changed—it was seductive yet elegant, charming yet playful. Her eyes shimmered with a vivid, spirited light, and every lift of her hand or step of her foot carried a graceful allure.

It was the charm of a woman from the water towns of Jiangnan—supple, beautiful, and enchanting.

As the music played, she used her body language and expressions to bring this charm to life. She looked exactly like a little fox spirit who had stumbled into the mortal world, innocent yet mesmerizing. Her gaze was like a hook, tugging at the heartstrings, and her spins, flips, and jumps were even more captivating.

The music stopped. The “little fox” in the center of the stage seemed tired after playing and lay there in a tranquil, peaceful sleep.

“Gulp.” The sound of someone swallowing.

Silence. The scene was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. That dance was no less shocking than the song from earlier.

Jiao Kai began to clap, even standing up. His eyes were shining, and his voice rose with excitement. “Su Hua, you’ve surprised me too much! Truly, my heart still hasn’t calmed down.”

Sitting in the center of the mentor panel, Fu Mo stared at the girl. While her music and dance knowledge wasn’t as professional as the mentors beside her, she could tell that whether Su Hua was singing or dancing, the emotions she expressed were layered and intense, creating an immediate resonance.

【Holy shit!! I’m at a loss for words.】

【I’m turning from an anti-fan directly into a loyal fan.】

【So shocking. My mind is full of her smiles and the way she moved just now.】

【Ugh, Mom, I’m in love—and with a ‘scum’ person too.】

【What do I do? My values are shattering.】

【This scum girl is so talented.】

【I know she’s scum, but my heart can’t help but love her.】

【Even Film Queen Fu was stunned.】

【No, no! Goddess, did you forget? She cheated on you!】

【I’m never believing the internet again. Tone-deaf? Zero coordination? That’s a total joke.】

【Suddenly, I don’t even believe the cheating rumors anymore.】

【Me too. Everyone says she cheated, but I haven’t seen a single piece of solid evidence yet.】

【Ahhh, I’m breaking down! I want to jump into this pit (become a fan), but I’m scared.】

The internet was exploding. Two new hashtags appeared on the Weibo trending list, and their heat was rising continuously:

#SuHuaSingsDegree?#

#SuHuaDancing?#

Both hashtags ended with question marks, showing just how confused and shocked everyone was. People who didn’t know the context clicked in, expecting to laugh, but after watching the clips, they were left in a daze.

“Is this Su Hua? Is this just someone who looks like her? How could this be Su Hua? Is it all fake?”

However, as they watched it a second and third time, their worldviews were repeatedly shattered and rebuilt. It was a hard fact to accept.

The trainees on-site were also struggling to process it. A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Lin Xiaohan’s eyes. Han Sixi and Wen Yutong felt a sudden sense of crisis. Zhu Xingxing, who had sat next to Su Hua, felt both surprise and inner conflict.

Lou Kexin, who had been in a bad mood after receiving an F, jumped up. Ignoring the stares around her, she cheered loudly: “Sister Su Hua, you’re simply amazing! I love you~!”

This bold and passionate confession left the trainees, mentors, and viewers at home completely shocked.

【Wait—little darling sister! A romance between two Omegas has no future!!】
