She had no choice but to go abroad to lay low for a while, planning to return to the domestic entertainment scene later.
Her agent sighed, âGoing abroad might be for the best.â
But both of them knew that Song Wenhuaâs career in the domestic entertainment industry had been severely damaged. No major brands or top teams would be eager to work with her again.
Thanks to Song Wenhua, Great Xia Film Academy also found itself trending on social media.
Netizens, with their impressive detective skills, uncovered the shady dealings between Great Xia Film Academy and Song Wenhuaâs team.
You canât keep secrets forever.
[If I remember correctly, didnât Great Xia Film Academy once mock Qingqingâs academic scores, saying she couldnât get into college? And this is what they come up with?]
[Was Great Xia Film Academy trying to open a special backdoor for Song Wenhua? If her scores hadnât been exposed, would she have gotten into Great Xia Film Academy?]
[Karma is real, and the heavens donât miss a thing.]
Even Great Xia Film Academy didnât anticipate that after this scandal, some artists who had planned to apply there for their exams switched to the First Drama Academy instead.
Great Xia Film Academyâs admissions for the year suffered greatly.
After this battle, Si Fuqing firmly established her reputation as the entertainment industryâs moral compass.

The next day, Si Fuqing asked the film crew for leave and flew to Sijiu City, accompanied by Nian Yiâan.
The international joint exams were coordinated by Great Xia University, with tickets booked for all candidates on June 26 to travel to the Muston Dukedom for the exams.
Lin Jihuan also performed well this time, ranking first in North State and seventh nationally.
Lin Bojian was thrilled and invited many of the prominent figures in Sijiu City who were close to the Lin family to a celebratory banquet for Lin Jihuan and Nian Yiâan.
Si Fuqing was also present.
This made the guests at the banquet feel incredibly honored.
Si Fuqing was no ordinary celebrity; her value was immeasurable.
Even the major families in Sijiu City were eager to establish a good relationship with her.@@novelbin@@
The younger generation, who had been fans of the Oracle game for a long time, all gathered around her, admiring her skills.
âGoddess, please carry us in Oracle!â
âIâd be happy just to be a sidekick.â
âLetâs get in-game now! Playing with the goddess means we might earn a few titles today.â
The Lin familyâs villa had an esports room, and Si Fuqing didnât refuse, leading them through a few game levels.
She had no interest in the following dance, so she took two bottles of wine and headed to the back of the courtyard.
After quickly downing one bottle, she smelled the familiar scent of night-blooming osmanthus, growing stronger in the evening breeze.
She looked up, her eyes slightly blurred. âBrother Nine.â
Yu Xiheng looked at her and let out a soft chuckle. âYouâre in a good mood.â
âVery good,â Si Fuqing replied, her fox-like eyes half-closed as she lazily leaned back. âI havenât felt this happy in a long time.â
She then finished the second bottle, squatted down while hugging her knees, looking very obedient.
Yu Xiheng crouched down as well, gently placing his hand on her soft hair.
He didnât wish for her to rise to the top of the world.
He just wanted her to be happy every day.

On June 26, Ji Qingwei and the Ji family were on their way to the airport.
Due to her health, Ji Qingwei hadnât taken the college entrance exam.
The Ji family was intent on making their way into the Free State, so they didnât care much about the college entrance exam.
Now that Ji Qingwei had secured a spot in the international joint examination, as long as she scored well, the Ji family would have a strong chance of breaking into the Free State.
In comparison, the college entrance exam seemed insignificant.
âLongtai, I heard from Mrs. Lu yesterday that someone scored a perfect score in this yearâs college entrance exam,â Mrs. Ji said. âThat score is terrifying.â
âA perfect score in the college entrance exam?â Ji Longtai scoffed. âIf even our Qingwei couldnât achieve that, itâs surely just social media exaggeration.â
Mrs. Ji nodded in agreement.
Especially with subjective questions in language and reading comprehensionâhow could anyone get a perfect score?
After passing through security, the three of them headed to the VIP lounge.
In high-traffic places like malls, airports, and train stations, advertisements featuring Si Fuqingâs endorsements were everywhere.
Even though Mr. and Mrs. Ji didnât follow the entertainment industry much and didnât use social media, they couldnât ignore Si Fuqingâs presence.
Ji Qingwei clenched her hands tightly, her nails digging into her palms.
She had originally planned to make her way back into the public eye step by step once her health improved.
But reality didnât give her that timeâSi Fuqing had already reached an unattainable peak.
Ji Qingwei glanced briefly at RMâs latest advertisement, feeling a deep sense of discomfort, as if ants were gnawing at her.
She forced herself to look away.
Sijiu Cityâs international airport had duty-free shops, and RM, being a top luxury brand, had stores for luggage, watches, clothing, and beauty products.
Mrs. Ji, a fan of RM, was about to head there when she noticed a long line in front of the beauty products storeâat least a hundred people.
The luggage and clothing stores were also packed.
Ji Longtai was also surprised.
RM was popular, but there were plenty of physical stores. He had never seen the airport shop this crowded before.
Could there be some sort of promotion?
He approached a passenger who had just exited the store with a gift bag.
âOh, RM is having a promotion,â the passenger said, in a good mood after receiving their gift. âTheir spokesperson got the top score in the national college entrance exam, so everyone gets a prize, and thereâs a 40% discount on clothing and luggage.â
Ji Longtai froze mid-step. âSpokesperson? College entrance exam? National top score?!â
These three terms, which he understood individually, seemed incomprehensible when combined.
Ji Qingweiâs heart clenched tightly, her ears ringing, leaving her momentarily deaf.
She knew very well who RMâs spokesperson was.
Mrs. Ji had bought an RM skincare set a while ago, which included three of Si Fuqingâs postcards as a bonus.
She hadnât even looked at them before tearing them up.
But now, national top score?
âThatâs right.â The passenger enthusiastically pointed ahead. âLook over there.â
The Ji family turned to see the large red banner.
[RM, in collaboration with Oracle, congratulates Miss Si Fuqing for achieving a perfect score in the national college entrance exam !]
