What followed was the forced disbandment of the team, and all four of my teammates were sidelined by the company.

Fortunately for me, I wasn't photographed, and I wasn't mentioned in any of the negative news.

After the team disbanded, the members continued to do public relations work for the company despite incurring exorbitant breach of contract penalties.

After the initial hype died down, I was able to return to the stage thanks to the company's efforts in reorganizing and packaging me.

The price of returning to the stage is that one must obey the company's arrangements and do public relations for the company.

Moreover, the profit-sharing ratio is much lower than before.

After the scandal, my fame has declined significantly. I can only occasionally take on commercial performances, and luxury brand endorsements are no longer available to me.

Three days ago, my company arranged for me to come to City X in China to be a special guest on a TV program. My main job was to accompany a CEO of a large corporation in City X.

When the plane landed, I met a mysterious person on social media.

This mysterious man claimed that he could help people fulfill their wishes.

I jokingly asked him if he could grant me my wish for a hundred million US dollars, and he actually said yes.

But I will have to pay a price.

He didn't tell me what the cost was.

But for me, the cost doesn't matter.

What price could be greater than this living hell?

I'm not afraid of being deceived, because besides this body, I have nothing else that others would covet.

If there were truly a person from the Yanhuang Kingdom who could make me stay here and not have to return to that disgusting country, I would be more than happy to accept it.

Today is my third day in Yanhuang Kingdom. This business trip will last for five days. I only have one day to record a program. The other four days will be spent accompanying that unknown important person.

Just like now.

Suddenly, that mysterious person sent me a message with a location attached.

I don't know where this location is, but it doesn't seem to be very far away.

I asked him, "Can you help me now?"

“Sure, you can come over now,” the mysterious man replied.

When I saw this message, I immediately told the driver to stop the car.

After the car stopped, I said to Kim Ji-ah, who had dragged me into this abyss, "I'm not going tonight. I have my own things to do."

After saying that, I opened the car door and got out.

Kim Ji-ah didn't expect me to suddenly stop working.

She immediately followed me, grabbed my arm, and shouted hoarsely, "Yoon Soo-yeon, do you want to defy the company's arrangements?"

"Let go of me." I shook off her hand and shouted, "I have something important to do today, and I have to go."

"No, you have to come with me to accompany President Song today, or you'll be prepared to pay an exorbitant penalty for breach of contract," Kim Ji-ah said through gritted teeth.

Hearing her mention the exorbitant penalty for breach of contract, my mind cleared up considerably.

I was so eager to escape the control of this demon that I didn't even consider whether what this mysterious person said was true or false.

Seeing that I didn't say anything, she pulled me into the car.

Just then, I saw a girl from the Yanhuang Kingdom walking along the street, holding a mobile phone and making a call, her face beaming with a happy smile.

Looking at this van, I instantly felt that it was a cage, a cage that imprisoned my soul and my body.

I don't want to be imprisoned anymore, even if I'm being deceived, I don't want to continue like this.

I forcefully shook off Kim Ji-ah and said to her, "Don't even think about controlling me anymore. Don't forget, this is Yanhuang Country, not H Country. You have no right to restrict my personal freedom."

Sure enough, the second half of my sentence worked. Kim Ji-ah clearly wouldn't dare do anything to me in the Yanhuang Kingdom.

After saying that, I hailed a passing taxi and drove off under Kim Ji-ah's fierce gaze.

Since most of my performances are in China, and I've loved this country with its long history and rich culture since I was a child, and I majored in the Chinese language in college, my Chinese language skills are quite good.

After a smooth communication, the driver quickly took me to a deserted place.

"Young lady, this is the factory you're looking for. It's been abandoned for many years."

"Thank you." I thanked the driver gratefully, and then took two 100-yuan Yanhuang coins from my bag to pay him.

The driver returned one of the bills to me and gave me a lot of change: "Young lady, this place is deserted all year round, so you have to be careful."

"Yes, I will. Thank you for your concern," I replied gratefully.

After the driver left, I knocked on the factory door.

The door was opened by a mysterious person wearing a cloak.

"Hello, did you contact me?" I asked excitedly.

The person wore a silver mask, and their voice seemed to have been specially processed: "Number."

I suddenly remembered the string of numbers that the mysterious person who contacted me had sent me.

I quickly took out my phone and told her.

"Come in." The mysterious man led me into the factory and then pointed in a direction: "Someone is waiting for you there."

Then she disappeared.

I could no longer care about the fear my surroundings instilled in me; I hurriedly walked in the direction she was pointing.

I went into the only place that was lit up.

Inside this workshop, I saw two mysterious people dressed identically.

After I explained my purpose, the mysterious man asked me to sit opposite him.

He asked me only one question: "How much money do you want?"

After hearing this, I thought for a moment and said, "I need three million Yanhuang coins."

Over the years, the money I've earned for the company has already paid off part of its debts. Now, I only need 500 million Korean won to formally terminate my contract with the company.

Then the person said, "Two choices: one is to exchange your voice for 500 million won."

"Secondly, you will join the entertainment company that Canglang Group is about to establish, and you will be unable to leave for life and must be loyal to Canglang Entertainment. Your contract will be completely taken over by Canglang Group."

"You choose one of the two."

I've heard about this Canglang Group from that big shot. He mentioned it when he was on the phone with someone, and it seemed like the group was very powerful.

After thinking for a moment, I chose the second option.

If my voice is traded, even if I successfully terminate my contract, I won't be able to do other work. This is because I've focused all my energy on entertainment these past few years, and I've forgotten a large part of what I learned in university.

Moreover, the fact that Canglang Group could instill such fear in that important figure suggests it must be an extraordinary company. If I could get close to Canglang Group, my future prospects would definitely be better than in H country.

Compared to staying in that disgusting country of H, I much prefer the land I'm standing on right now.

Then the man handed me a contract and said, "Sign this, and you'll be a member of the Canglang Group. Your contract with Ym Company will be fully taken over by the Canglang Group."

I signed the contract without even thinking about it.

And so, I became the first H country artist to develop in the entertainment industry of Yanhuang Country. This news instantly caused a sensation in Yanhuang Country, where the entertainment industry was backward.

This also brought considerable buzz and traffic to the newly established entertainment company of Canglang Group.

Fortunately, there was no disgusting public relations work at Canglang Entertainment, which made me very glad I made that choice.

Not long after Canglang Entertainment rectified the entertainment industry in Yanhuang Kingdom, it launched its offensive against the entertainment industry in H Kingdom.

Under the company's arrangement, I was the first to return to H country and exposed the outrageous human trafficking in the H country's entertainment industry to the international entertainment circle.

However, under the company's management, I did not become a pariah, but instead became a strong woman who dared to take responsibility and fight against dark forces.

Under my leadership, Canglang Group thoroughly attacked the entertainment industry in H country, and finally completed the acquisition and integration of resources.

I naturally became a superstar at Canglang Entertainment in H.
