Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Crossing a Thousand Years, Through Ten Lifetimes, All for You
“Looking up and locking eyes in that moment, lovesick bonds tied our fates together. At Jiulin that evening, we invited the moon to join our wine and reminisced about the passing years.”
“In midnight dreams, I see your enchanting smile, but upon waking, your face is gone. A love that spans a thousand years, entwined through ten lifetimes, just for you.”
That glance from a thousand years ago destined us to be entwined for eternity.
This is a song that pours out one’s true feelings and expresses yearning, perfectly suited to the tortuous love story between the protagonists in “Allure.”
But at this moment, Xia Weibao wasn’t thinking about the plot of “Allure,” but of her beloved Emperor.
Across a thousand years, through ten lifetimes, all for you.
This was the sentiment conveyed by “A Thousand Years in a Dream.”
Xia Weibao closed her eyes, and a tear quietly slid down her cheek.
Your Majesty, your consort is still alive, living in the twenty-first century, a thousand years later.
You promised we would be together for all eternity. So, would you cross a thousand years and cycle through ten lifetimes to find me?
As the song ended, the hall fell into complete silence. Everyone was immersed in the world she had created, experiencing that deep, soul-searing love, feeling the sour ache of waiting for a thousand years.
They couldn’t extricate themselves.
Even countless people shed tears of emotion.
Beautiful love has the power to move hearts the most.
An emotionally compelling performance can resonate with everyone.
That emotionally charged love lingered, compelling everyone to give a perfect score without hesitation.
The judges, too, were so moved that they wept openly.
How long had it been since they had heard such a touching song?
Perfect score, it had to be perfect!
The final scoring of the competition was composed of two parts: fifty percent from the audience’s votes, and fifty percent from the judges’ scoring.
Both gave full marks!
Beating second-placed Lin Siqian by a whole ten points!
This was undoubtedly the best result since the “Heavenly Voice” show began!
No one questioned the fairness of the scoring. After all, whether a song is good or bad, no one is deaf.
As the show was broadcast online, countless people began searching for what song this could be.
Even those who disliked Xia Weibao quietly opened their music apps.
They wouldn’t listen to Bitch Xia’s songs, but they could listen to the original singer’s.
The melody was so beautiful, and the lyrics even more touching. Surely the original singer’s version would be even better.
But they discovered that the song was nowhere to be found.
It wasn’t on any music app nor on Baidu.
They couldn’t find the song name, the lyrics yielded no results, and even recording the live performance and shaking their phones with WeChat’s ‘shake’ feature turned up nothing.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. What song was this?
The topic #XiaWeibaoUnknownSong raced to the top of the trending searches.
The whole nation mobilized to find the song “A Thousand Years in a Dream.”
The harder it was to find, the more desperate they became to uncover it.
The topic became hotter and hotter, completely overtaking the buzz around Xia Weibao’s affair.
The nation was unified in its unprecedented frenzy!
Seeing this scene, Xu Jiayang knew that the opportunity for promotion had arrived.
So, he hurriedly had the recorded song “A Thousand Years in a Dream” prepared, and then a music video was edited.
All it featured were the beautiful shots taken during Xia Weibao’s filming.
No need for completeness, no need for plot, just beauty!
“Allure” hadn’t finished shooting yet, so it wasn’t possible to promote it using the actors’ performances and the storyline. The only topic worth promoting was Xia Weibao’s beauty.
By ensuring her popularity soared and making the character Li Qingcheng a sensation, it was certain to bring fame to “Allure”!
Soon, a beautifully delicate music video was crafted and released by the “Allure” production team’s official Weibo account.
An official Weibo account that hardly anyone had followed suddenly gained a hundred thousand followers!
And the downloads for the music video rose with astonishing speed, with comments soaring up rapidly!
The level of public interest was frightening!
