Chapter 1 She's Really Different
"Divorce?! Why?"
"Lin Yi, don't you want me anymore?"
...
Guangzhou, Xiaoguwei Island, a high-end hotel.
Room 9527.
Lin Yi slumped onto the sofa.
Nine years.
It was his time travel to this blue planet, which was similar to Earth but also had many differences.
That was also the time when he met Yu Nuannuan.
They were freshmen at the time, eighteen years old and naive.
Two years later, the two, who had developed feelings for each other, confirmed their relationship and fell in love.
In the same year, Yu Nuannuan participated in a talent show and debuted as a singer, with Lin Yi as her musician.
Two years later, Lin Yi turned twenty-two, and they got married.
Lin Yi once firmly believed that Yu Nuannuan was different from other glamorous women in the entertainment industry.
She doesn't like doing commercial performances, doesn't like appearing on variety shows, and is even uninterested in endorsements. Whenever she has free time, she runs home and sticks to herself.
It seems that she debuted as a singer simply to sing.
But all of this started to change two years ago.
Lin Yi can no longer "write" good songs.
Yu Nuannuan gradually started accepting more commercial performances and appearing on variety shows.
Lin Yi went to the company to pick her up a few times, and her agent Qi Xue made sarcastic remarks to him.
In their eyes, Lin Yi's inability to write good songs became a stumbling block to Yu Nuannuan's career.
Lin Yi's overly strict royalty rates for song and music licensing have severely damaged their interests.
Although the two continued to chat enthusiastically on WeChat, Lin Yi's heart gradually grew cold.
In the past six months, Yu Nuannuan has only returned once.
"Kiss you kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss"
Your kiss was so realistic.
Let me put aside my hypocrisy
Take it as the most sincere kiss
Blame myself for not being able to distinguish them in time
Is your love for me genuine or just a perfunctory attitude...?
"The Kiss Was Too Real" by Hins Cheung.
The melody of an Earth song suddenly popped into Lin Yi's mind.
In the past, Lin Yi would quickly take notes and try to fill in the gaps in his memory.
But now, none of that matters anymore.
Lin Yi scratched his head, wondering what was wrong. He had suddenly developed these symptoms in the last two months.
My head gets a little itchy every now and then, like my brain is growing.
He wondered if he would be like the protagonist in the entertainment novels he read in his previous life, awakening a system after his divorce and then reaching the pinnacle of life.
All he knew was that he couldn't bear to part with the nine years of relationship, and he was in great pain.
But is there any point in trying to salvage a relationship that has reached this stage?
Life is about moving forward, isn't it?
"I have crossed mountains and rivers..."
Another melody surfaced in Lin Yi's mind, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
If only you had come sooner.
Outside room 9527, a figure approached from afar.
She is not tall, about 1.63 meters, but her proportions are well-balanced, and her upper body has exaggerated curves that are still beautiful.
She has a small oval face, big eyes, and lightly drawn eyebrows, making her look pure and lovely.
Her eyes and brows naturally possess a captivating fragility that could tempt one to commit a crime, and her beautiful, large eyes have a certain allure that can bewitch and entice.
Yu Nuannuan.
Time seems to have left no mark on her; she remains as youthful as ever, a bud waiting to bloom.
The door was opened at some point, and Yu Nuannuan stood in the doorway, her gaze quickly drawn to the sofa.
To be precise, it was the person on the sofa.
Slightly messy microfiber caps, a simple white shirt and casual pants, looking as plain as a student who hasn't graduated from university yet.
Her face looked slightly haggard, lacking the polished look of celebrities in the entertainment industry.
Yet, within that graceful form emanated an untamed, almost savage vitality.
He lay exhausted on the sofa, like a wild beast licking its wounds, silently exuding a captivating aura.
No wonder he's her husband; he's so handsome even without any grooming.
Yu Nuannuan stared blankly for a long time before finally taking a step.
Lost in thought, Lin Yi suddenly felt dizzy.
A pair of straight, slender legs came into view.
Immediately afterwards, a familiar fragrance of osmanthus wafted over.
Lin Yi looked up and a familiar face came into view.
His heart skipped a beat.
After three months apart, his resistance to this woman plummeted from zero to negative.
But... thinking about what might happen today, Lin Yi's heart turned cold again.
"Lin Yi, I need to discuss something important with you." Yu Nuannuan sat down opposite Lin Yi, straightened up, and looked serious.
finally coming?
A sense of sadness swept through Lin Yi's heart.
Last night, Yu Nuannuan suddenly sent him a message saying that she had something important to discuss with him and that he should be mentally prepared. He had some suspicions about this.
But when that moment actually came, my heart still felt like it was being torn apart.
"I..." Lin Yi opened his mouth, but suddenly fell silent. "I agree to the divorce."
After saying this, Lin Yi seemed to have shed a burden, and he added, "Don't worry, I won't go around spreading rumors, nor will I revoke the authorization for the lyrics and music."
You can't afford to mess with money, no matter who else you're at odds with.
"divorce…?"
Yu Nuannuan was momentarily stunned, then collapsed onto the sofa as if she had lost all her strength.
Isn't this what you wanted?
Why such a strong reaction?
"I should play along and pretend I didn't see it."
Ignoring the lyrics flashing through his mind, Lin Yi instinctively sprang up from the sofa and reached out to support Yu Nuannuan.
"husband…"
Yu Nuannuan threw herself into Lin Yi's arms, her voice trembling with tears and grievance.
"You...you don't want me anymore?"
This…
Lin Yi felt as if thunder had struck his heart.
Could it be... that he misunderstood?
What is the important thing she wants to talk about?
……
An hour later.
Lin Yi finally managed to coax Yu Nuannuan after trying everything he could, and learned from her what the big event was.
Yu Nuannuan has terminated her contract with her original agency.
She plans to retire from the entertainment industry and return to a life outside the spotlight, with Lin Yi.
Despite pressure from Spark Music and instigation from her agent Qi Xue, she remained steadfast in her choice of Lin Yi.
She even pretended to be indecisive before the contract expired, enticing Spark Music to waste its best resources on her, thus giving Lin Yi a good thrashing.
Yu Nuannuan, she is truly different!
However, in order to gain the trust of Xinghuo Music, Yu Nuannuan also increased the frequency of commercial performances she accepted in the past two years, which helped Mars Media make a lot of money.
This is also to save enough money for retirement.
Approximately how much is this amount of money?
After deducting the songwriting and arrangement licensing fee (10%), the agency's share (4:6), and personal income tax (nearly 45%).
Yu Nuannuan received approximately 1500 million yuan, which is only about 20% of her total commercial performance fee (7500 million yuan).
Here's an introduction to the Xia Kingdom.
Ten years ago, Xia's hard power surpassed that of the United States, reaching the top of the world.
However, due to the poor quality of cultural and entertainment products, the export of culture and values has been met with a lukewarm reception.
To improve this situation and promote the creation of more excellent cultural products.
The Xia Kingdom has undertaken sweeping reforms to the cultural and entertainment market, promulgating a series of laws and regulations to protect the rights and interests of creators. It has clarified that the cultural and entertainment industry should be content-centric, and that creators should be able to focus on creating and receive the rewards they deserve.
Under the new regulations, it's absolutely impossible for a song to generate hundreds of millions in profits while the creator only receives a 5000 yuan buyout fee in Xia Country.
To protect similar original creators, the Xia Kingdom has established a special law.
Original authors of cultural and entertainment works can reclaim their copyrights for up to 250% of the copyright transfer fee.
