Chapter 107: A Flawless Conclusion

“Ruoyu... she is simply a goddess descended to earth.”
“What meaning does life hold for us who cannot behold the true visage of a deity? All my votes are yours—I want nothing, only to quietly watch you.”
...
“Perfect, perfect! I never imagined the stage effects would be so grand and magnificent—it’s divine!” Lu Ran pounded his thigh in excitement. This scene was undoubtedly an epic-level variety show debut.

Lin Zhiwei smiled and nodded, finally releasing a breath of relief. Gazing at the man on stage, she felt a silent pride—after all, who else’s man could he be?

As the prelude ended and the main verse began, the man placed his violin on the stand and took up the microphone. Every movement was so elegant and pleasing to the eye that the audience below dared not blink, fearful of missing even the slightest gesture.

“Mysterious Arctic Circle, atop Alaska’s peaks,
Whose face appears at the horizon’s edge?
In a sudden moment,
At that distant place,
I see the lovers’ radiant happiness.”

His voice, lazy yet lively, tender to the extreme, immediately captivated every listener. If earlier their reaction was cheers and applause, now they seemed immobilized, utterly absorbed by the enchanting and mysterious song.

The man’s low, gentle singing displayed every detail of love like a projector—fluttering hearts, sweetness, even sorrowful partings and loneliness—all unfolded vividly within minutes.

What divine romance could immerse people so completely? Even Chen Yu and Liu Niwen, chatting casually in the green room, stopped and stared at the man on screen with clear envy and admiration. Their own stage presentation was full of dedication and innovation, but Ling, the reigning emperor of the arts, was the stage itself—a perfect fusion, pure and exhilarating.

Ye Linyun waited in her VIP lounge for this very moment, and as soon as the man sang, her desire to possess him grew certain. Ha, such a man could only belong to herself; all who coveted him would be swept away by her personally.

Ling Ziheng, you cannot escape.

Chu Chuo, calm and composed, toyed with the ring in his hand. He knew well Ling Ziheng’s strength. The Ling family of the Nameless Realm was capable of much more than this.

The distant figure from afar had countless skills, and Ling Ziheng naturally could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

As the song reached its climax, another spotlight illuminated a woman in white, gracefully stepping onto the stage. The light followed her delicate, supple movements, her sheer white flowing dress complementing the godlike man.

The man set down the microphone and gently took the woman’s hand. Their alternating dance steps traced a magnificent, dazzling waltz. The chorus was slightly altered; the two danced slowly, their eyes locked only on each other.

A deity high above fell in love with an ordinary woman, willing to shed his splendid robes and descend from the altar, braving all hardships for the one he loved.

“What kind of divine love is this? I want it too!”
“It’s so beautiful—I can’t help but imagine I’m the one dancing with Ruoyu.”
“I could gaze at this scene for a thousand years.”
“Compared to the earlier performances, this is on a master’s level in both effect and impact.”
“Ruoyu surprises at every turn. How can one man be perfect at everything? I want to marry him.”
“You? Stop daydreaming.”
...

While everyone was immersed in the sweet love between the two, the stage lights suddenly went dark. When they shone again, the woman was gone.

Only the lonely man, now a mortal, remained. He had changed into a dark blue and white striped shirt paired with a choker and slim black trousers, sitting dazed in an empty room.

Though he had shed his divine robes, the man still shone brightly. But what of the woman? Time passed, and mortals could not escape the fate of aging.

Years flew by as he wandered alone through different cities, strolling unfamiliar streets, still searching for the lingering image of his beloved in his mind.

At that moment, the dancer reappeared in bright, colorful attire, dancing gracefully to the street singer’s melody. Was she the one in his thoughts?

“Quien Sera”—a fresh and soothing Bossa Nova tune— swept through the air. The man, to attract the woman, had learned to sing like a troubadour on the street corner.

“Who will be the one to love me?
Who could it be?
Who will be the one to give me her love?
I do not know if I will meet that person.”

His fluent, precise Spanish carried a masculine magnetism and a free, romantic spirit, blending jazz and Bossa Nova into a reserved yet heartfelt serenade. The woman was deeply drawn in, and under his lead, they danced with natural ease.

As if bearing memories from a past life, the woman studied the man before her, her smile irresistibly charming.

The audience below was dazzled, breathless from the seamless, flowing drama, which was like a magnificent standalone theatrical performance, irresistibly intoxicating them with its mature, lingering love.

When the dance abruptly ended and the last note faded, the crowd remained entranced by the unfolding story and the stage’s enchanting atmosphere.

Minutes later, thunderous applause and cheers swept over the venue like waves.

This was Ling Ziheng’s first public display of such diverse talents, and on his debut no less—it left everyone dazzled.

“Heh, what more is there to say now?” the president of Ling Ziheng’s fan club said proudly, arms crossed.

Though Chu Chuo’s fans wanted to contest the outcome, they knew it was futile. After all, the stage effects spoke for themselves.

“Ling is truly phenomenal—I’m utterly mesmerized,” Mei Ning said, clapping while glancing at those around her.

“Of course! And don’t forget who designed the stage,” Xiao Yu said proudly, looking at Lin Zhiwei. Director Lin’s stage design combined perfectly with the boss’s extraordinary talents—an impeccable match!

“Hey, hey, Lin, let’s go backstage to see the boss,” Mei Ning suggested.

“You go ahead. I’ll handle the aftermath here,” Zhao Lei replied.

Lin Zhiwei smiled lightly, thanking Lu Ran and the other staff one by one before heading backstage with Xiao Yu and Mei Ning.
