Before the award ceremony, no one considered Ruan Qi a serious rival.
Although she had secured fourteen nominations, her experience was too limited, and everyone assumed she wouldn't win any significant awards.
But reality slapped everyone in the face.
Best Variety Music, Best Newcomer, Best Composition, and even the Annual Popularity Award were all snatched away by Ruan Qi.
A 19-year-old girl sweeping the Golden Melody Awards—this hadn't happened in the music scene for the past decade.
Everyone felt a sense of crisis, and that feeling peaked at this moment.
Annual Song was, aside from Best Male Singer and Best Female Singer, the most prestigious award.
Ruan Qi had already taken the Annual Popularity Award. If she snagged the Annual Song too, the entire senior generation of the music industry might form a group and jump into the City-Guarding River.
Eyes filled with caution and defensiveness from all sides fell upon Ruan Qi.
