Transmigrating as the Younger Sister of a Bigshot with Multiple Identities

“Do you think your fans are really here for your singing and dancing? If it weren’t for your resemblance to Gu Yang in that photo, you wouldn’t have even gotten a chance to participate in this talent show.”

“Yan Xi, didn’t your mother send you here as a trainee because she wanted you to become a big star? Now, the opportunity is right in front of you.”

“Don’t let the online comments affect you. Gu Yang isn’t in the entertainment industry. Once you establish yourself, who will remember her?”

“As long as you listen to me obediently…”

Yan Xi felt a wave of frustration wash over her as she listened to her manager’s words.

She had loved singing and dancing since she was young and had dreamed of becoming a celebrity. Her adoptive mother had been persuaded by this manager to sign a ten-year trainee contract.

Over the years, Yan Xi watched fellow trainees from her cohort break their contracts and quit, only to be forced into paying hefty compensation fees.

As she grew older, she realized that even if the company signed them, they would always be oppressed once they became popular.

If they didn’t become popular, he would use all sorts of methods to force them out, making them terminate their contracts and extracting every last bit of value to earn the penalty.

Performing on stage, singing, and dancing made her happiest. But now, her manager was turning the stage she loved into a humiliating spectacle.

She liked money, but she wanted it to come from her own hard work, not from riding on someone else’s coattails.

She had truly had enough!

Yan Xi’s anger erupted like a volcano. She shouted, “Why have I been unknown for eight years? Isn’t it because of you? Have you ever given me a real chance?”

The manager’s expression darkened, losing all pretense of patience. He threatened, “Yan Xi, don’t forget you signed a ten-year contract with the company.”

“Now, you have to follow the company’s arrangements. Otherwise, your family won’t be able to afford the five million yuan penalty.”

“I hear your father’s hospitalization cost a lot of money too.”

“Think about it carefully. Is your noble pride worth more than your father’s life?”

At the thought of the penalty and her adoptive father, Yan Xi felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over her. She lowered her eyes and said, “Gu Yang is the little princess of Zhaofeng Entertainment. The Gu family has always doted on her. Aren’t you afraid of offending the Gu family by doing this?”

The manager sneered. “We’re just trying to gain popularity. It’s not like we’re slandering Gu Yang. The Gu family doesn’t have time to interfere. Besides, our Tiansheng Media isn’t afraid of Zhaofeng Entertainment.”

“Is that so…”

Yan Xi murmured, her eyes burning despite being cast downward.

The manager tossed her a gift bag. “Change into this outfit. There’s a drinking party tonight. President Zhang of our company and President Cheng, the investor of the talent show, will be there.”

“If you perform well, you’ll definitely get more resources and more screen time on the show.”

Yan Xi clenched her fists tightly.

At Hua University, there were no breaks during military training. Even on Saturdays and Sundays, the training continued.

The weather in the capital had been exceptionally dry and clear, as if a rain repellent had been used, leaving not a single drop of rain.

The Physics Department was progressing the fastest in military training. They had already finished learning Military Boxing and were now practicing.

During the break, Qiao Manman sat on a small stool, examining her sun-exposed skin. She glanced at Gu Yang’s fair and delicate complexion and couldn’t help but pinch her cheek, envy evident on her face.

“Why can’t you ever tan?”

When the school year began, Gu Yang, Gu Jin, and Feng Jue were fair-skinned, not exactly pale but definitely not tan. However, after days under the sun during military training, the rest of the class had noticeably darkened a few shades. Yet, Gu Yang, Gu Jin, and Feng Jue remained strikingly fair, standing out noticeably.
