The Royal General was a blockbuster adaptation of a bestselling novel, with a multi–billion- dollar budget. The female lead was played by Shana, a top–tier actress and the epitome of “pure and delicate beauty.”
When Suzanna first debuted, she had gained some attention because of her resemblance to Shana and had even ridden that wave, earning the nickname “Little Shana.”
As for the third female villain, Zera, she was played by Bonnie, a famous singer–turned- actress. Because she didn’t have formal acting training, her line delivery was a bit unclear and needed dubbing.
Both actresses already had strong fan bases in the entertainment industry.
As soon as VoiceMel announced her theme song for The Royal General, fans of Shana and Bonnie quickly jumped in to claim their favorite stars and began promoting them.
At the same time, The Royal General hadn’t even premiered yet, but the theme song, Riding the Wind, immediately shot to the top of the trending charts.
On one hand, the show already had its own built–in audience.
On the other hand, the fact that VoiceMel dared to release a theme song at this critical moment stirred a frenzy.
Everyone remembered that three years ago, she had been caught in a plagiarism scandal over three theme songs.
Now, by suddenly dropping Riding the Wind, it was clear she was openly challenging Carson!
It was bold. Audacious, even.
Carson’s fans wasted no time–they flooded VoiceMel’s page, ready to tear apart her new
song.
But after listening, they found themselves enchanted, many secretly putting the song on
repeat.
Even casual listeners who weren’t involved in the drama couldn’t help but praise VoiceMel’s undeniable talent.
The surge of hate–fueled attention, combined with the promotion from fans of The Royal

In just an hour, Riding the Wind was already threatening the popularity of Carson’s latest release, Winter Falls.
And in an hour and a half, the total metrics for Riding the Wind surpassed those of Winter Falls, shooting it to the top of Tomato Music’s trending chart for new songs.
The trending topics soared as well, with keywords like:
“VoiceMel’s Riding the Wind overtakes Winter Falls in the charts.”
“VoiceMel, the star of Harmony Dubbing Studio, breaks records with her theme song, outshining top artist Carson.”
“VoiceMel: An ugly face with too much nerve, openly provoking a pop icon.”
When the numbers dropped, Carson’s fans lost their minds!
“Wow, I don’t get it anymore! How can an original be beaten by a plagiarist? Rotten Tomato will do anything for hype!”
“I have to admit, though, the arrangement, lyrics, and how Riding the Wind fits with VoiceMel’s mature, powerful voice really captures the heroic spirit of Camelia from the original The Royal General.
‘It’s been ages since we’ve had a song of this quality in the industry. It’s no surprise it’s dominating the charts!”
“Riding the Wind is even more impressive than the three theme songs from three years ago. VoiceMel really is one of those artists who only makes a move when she can wipe the floor with the so–called professionals!”
“Yeah, sure, Riding the Wind deserves the praise, but does that erase the fact that VoiceMel plagiarized Carson’s arrangement three years ago?
“And who knows if she stole this one from some unknown indie artist?
“After all, she’s gotten pretty good at ripping off other people’s work. The reason she hasn’t dropped any theme songs for three years is probably that she’s finally run out of ideas.”
“Has no one considered Carson might be the problem? He became a hit three years ago with that one masterpiece, but everything he’s released since has been trash.
“If he wasn’t good–looking and propped up by his fans, he’d have to stick to the idol route.
“None of the real music veterans even take him seriously as a singer.”

Carson, unable to stand it any longer, instinctively reached for his phone to call Melody and chew her out, but all he got was a busy signal.
Right. He’d forgotten–Melody had blocked him!
So, he grabbed his assistant’s phone and dialed again.
This time, it connected.
His voice was sharp, icy, and dripping with venom.
“Mel!–”
Beep. Beep. Beep.
The line went dead. Melody had coldly hung up on him, cutting off his fury and leaving it boiling in his chest, unresolved.
He had listened to Riding the Wind and had to admit, it was a top–tier song.
But there was no way Melody had created something like that on her own.
She must have stolen it from someone else, again.
A frosty glint filled Carson’s eyes as he thought about how Melody had brazenly used the song to overshadow his own new release.
His frustration only grew.
Noticing Melody casually hanging up the phone, Edward glanced her way but continued to massage her leg with an air of indifference.
His low, seductive voice asked, “Mel, who was that?”
Melody’s tone was cool and dismissive. “Oh, just an idiot.”
