Several days later, the announcement about the enthronement of the new Songstress spread throughout the Federation, and the name and image of 'Jin Yangcao' Blanchi quickly reached every Star Domain, particularly causing a huge stir in the numerous Star Domains of the west.
"Finally, our western Star Domain has produced a Songstress, it's been so tough," someone commented on a forum, and the statement received countless agreements.
"The last time was 40 years ago with 'Red Stone Bamboo' Chi Wanxin, who came from the Mulan Star Domain."
Online communities were abuzz discussing the newly debuted Songstress, and soon after, a press conference for 'Jin Yangcao' Blanchi was held. At the press conference, Blanchi, having been styled by professional makeup artists and hair stylists, was almost unrecognizable, dressed in a classical, white, ribboned long gown adorned with orange-red flower buds and pale yellow petals, and her hair shone like strands of dazzling gold. A bracelet of gold twigs wrapped around her slender wrist accentuated her figure.
At this press conference, Blanchi sang Isenisha's "Golden Rose Praise," a classic piece that countless Songstresses had covered, proving her identity and Talent to the numerous reporters and audience present.
After the conference ended, Blanchi sat in the greenroom, calming the surge of emotions from her performance, and soon the door opened, with the Governor's Secretary, Dan Yu, walking in.
She gestured simply, directing the makeup artists and stylists in the room to step out momentarily, then she moved behind Blanchi, gently placing her hands on the girl's shoulders.
"Much better now, my heart felt like it was going to burst out of my chest when I was on stage," Blanchi said, placing one hand on her chest.
"The first time is always like that, but even for your first time on stage, you did really great," Dan Yu comforted and complimented the still somewhat green Songstress, helping her to regain some confidence.
"It's okay, you'll get more and more used to it, and then you won't be nervous anymore."
"Everyone really likes you, you saw that for yourself."
As Dan Yu brushed Blanchi's long hair, she spoke soothingly. Although she looked young, Dan Yu had over a decade of experience in the workplace and understood very well what Blanchi was feeling, realizing that the girl was just facing a change of identity and was not yet fully confident.
"Don't worry about what comes next. I've already contacted several famous composers and lyricists in the Federation for you. It won't be long until your own songs are released, and you won't have to do covers anymore."
"As for your family, arrangements have been made by the Stellar Domain Official as well, and the Governor has even purchased a beautifully scenicked mansion for you, over in the west 1 district."
One by one, Dan Yu addressed everything, assuring Blanchi she didn't need to worry about her family being disturbed or about safety issues, and even the arrangements for Blanchi to study in the Central Star Domain had been taken care of.
"These expenses must be pretty high, especially for the mansion in the west 1 district," Blanchi said hesitantly.
"Don't worry, many big corporations in our Star Domain are willing to sponsor and support you. For them, it's just a minor matter."
Blanchi opened her mouth, then settled down and said, "Thank you."
"Just focus on learning the knowledge and skills related to being a Songstress, and you can contact me for anything else. The Stellar Domain Official will give you their full support, don't worry. Everyone really likes you, don't feel embarrassed. You can also post some simple records of your daily life on your personal page, people want to know more about you."
Dan Yu's repeated assurances finally allowed the newly-born Songstress to let go of her worries and concerns, feeling a warm sense of tranquility flowing slowly through her heart.
"I will," she nodded, looking at herself in the mirror.
The verdant Laurel Leaves were nestled in her golden hair, and the classical long gown she wore gave her a faint, sacred aura, complementing her Songstress identity and the power of her voice. The once ordinary girl now resembled the Legendary goddess, possessing a charm that inspired longing and admiration.
Is this the power of a Songstress? Blanchi clenched her palms slightly, then released them, and it took her a long time to reconcile the sacred figure in the mirror with her own sense of self.
