The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 61

This time, Jian Ya did not have the help of a top stylist. Her styling was no longer stunning, and her stage performance was slightly lacking.

Soon the four minute performance ended.

The seven people stood in the middle of the stage for the mentor critique segment.

Bian ZhiMing frowned: Jian Ya, I remember your last performance was quite good, why does it seem like you've regressed a bit this time?

Jian Ya quickly explained: The stylist wasn't the original one this time.

Zhong Lingfei interrupted her: It has nothing to do with the styling, Jian Ya, did you know you went off key just now?

Zhao Lan also critiqued a few things, speaking conventionally.

Finally, Zhao Tiancheng summarized and did not say much.

Right after that, it was time to draw lots for the next group.

The numbers on the big screen flashed for a moment.

The host Guan Liangzhe was also excited for a moment: Oh! They've drawn this group so soon! Let's welcome Nan XiangWan and her teammates on stage to perform!

Jian Ya, who had just gotten off stage, paused in her steps.

At the end of the passageway, she saw six people hurrying over.

Nan XiangWan was walking right at the front, in the middle, the most eye-catching spot.

That fluttering lock of silver hair at her forehead made one's heart skip a beat!

Jian Ya stood still and the emotions churning in her eyes were unreadable.

Not until her teammate pulled her along did she make way.

Making room in the narrow passageway for Nan XiangWan and the other members to get through.

The stage lights dimmed.

Right after that was a brief silence.

The staff quickly prepared the stage area.

There was also a change at the mentor bench.

Zhao Tiancheng stood up and hastily vacated his seat.

Right after that, amidst the noise from the live audience, Gu Beihuai appeared and sat in the mentor's seat!

The head mentor had been switched out!

Except for the eagle-eyed live audience members, this scene was not captured in the livestream.

Very soon.

A stage light came on!

The noise from the venue instantly quieted down!

It was a three-legged steel frame piano, and Nan XiangWan sat at the piano.

She wore a white, old-fashioned lantern sleeve shirt on top, with a little black vest draped over it. The bow tie at the collar was tied meticulously.

On the bottom were black trousers and shiny leather boots, with slightly high heels.

They were men's high-heeled leather shoes.

The moment she was illuminated under the lights, it was as if she had stepped out from the medieval era as an aristocratic young master!

Noble, elegant, posture impeccable!

Thump

Her fingers struck the first note!

An introductory melody sounded, Nan XiangWan's fingers were long and slender, nimbly dancing across the black and white piano keys.

She sat up straight, head lowered slightly as she played the piano.

It was as if she was immersed in the music.

Exquisite outfit, perfect features, gorgeous make-up, in an instant her visage was enlarged on the big screen!

The live audience totally lost it!

Cheers erupted one after another!

Bullet screen comments:

Damn! Damn! Sis kill me!

Who the f*ck is this handsome guy???

Nan XiangWan crossdressing is lit! Damn!

My heart was shot through!

Young Master Nan XiangWan!

Merely an opening appearance and she had already slayed her fans to death.

Very soon the solo piano intro ended and drums were added in, making the music lively.

Nan XiangWan sang:

[Perfect hands without sweat or tremor]

[Crossed behind that smiling facade]

[Hiding a dangerous silhouette]

The camera obligingly gave a close up of Nan XiangWan's hands!

Those long, fair hands were indeed perfect and flawless as they danced across the piano keys, just as described in the lyrics.

Next, Nan XiangWan's voice continued:

[It won't hurt when it starts, it won't hurt]

[Your dilated pupils are like dreaming]

At this time.

Another beam of light came on on stage.

Li Banyan wore a white dress, her long hair draped over her shoulders and back. Her make-up had a hint of pallor.

Strangely, she was dancing barefoot!

Her dance movements conveyed a kind of pathological aesthetic!

As if a light grip would shatter her.

Nan XiangWan's voice grew in strength at this point, with a hint of hoarseness and bite.

[When you're most relaxed]

[I'll strike without any feeling]

At the same time, she stood up from the piano bench.

Striding towards Li Banyan with big steps!

The voices of other teammates quickly followed:

[It won't hurt when it starts, it won't hurt]

[Your dilated pupils are like dreaming]

Nan XiangWan put an arm around Li Banyan's waist.

With her other hand holding Li Banyan's, she lifted her up.

Twirling, dancing.

Forcefully pushing the girl out and pulling her back in her embrace.

Li Banyan was like a controlled puppet, her body led by Nan XiangWan in the dance, swaying uncontrollably back and forth. Her wooden expression showed hints of struggling agony.

Nan XiangWan's expression held a bizarre smile, as if looking at her beloved.

Yet the one in her arms was clearly a doll puppet she had fashioned.

This scene unfolding on stage was extremely bizarre!

The audience's breath hitched!

Soon the song "Killer" reached the chorus.

Nan XiangWan's dance sped up and she pushed Li Banyan aside.

Turning, she arrived at another girl Deng Si Nan's side.

Deng Si Nan was also barefoot, wearing a white dress.

Nan XiangWan kept dancing with Deng Si Nan in her arms. The girl in her arms struggled to get away.

And was forcefully yanked back by Nan XiangWan!

She gently stroked Deng Si Nan's cheek, the smile on her face still so elegant and full of love.

Deng Si Nan's hands flailed for a moment in the air, then went limp.

Turning into the second puppet!

Nan XiangWan was still smiling, singing, spinning and dancing.

Searching for the next girl.

In an instant.

The obsessiveness and yandere feel conveyed by the stage reached an extreme!

The melody continued.

Lyrics kept being sung by everyone.

Everyone's dances were different, some danced while running away, some fell to the ground, some were hugged in Nan XiangWan's arms.

The audiences present at the scene and watching the livestream were dazed!

A stage play!

They were witnessing a stage play on the second public performance!

Moreover it was such a goosebump inducing yandere aesthetics!

4 minutes 53 seconds.

The song "Killer" ended.

Nan XiangWan stood on stage with hands clasped behind her back, the other teammates beside her with smiles on their faces instead of the previous wooden or struggling expressions.

Awaiting the mentors' critique!

They all knew internally that this performance was even better than during their normal practice!

Because Nan XiangWan's make-up and styling was a living yandere young master!

It allowed them to immerse completely into their roles!

But right now, both on and off stage was dead silent.

No one spoke.

Bullet screen comments:

I got three layers of goosebumps watching this!

This song combined with the stage, I almost went crazy damn!

With no explosive points, no craziness, no high notes, no rap, just relying on this aesthetic of obsession, I was almost charmed mad?!

Nan XiangWan's crossdressing is too deadly! Ahhh hubby kill me!

This song depicts a pathological killer who turns girls into dolls in the name of completely and permanently possessing his lover!

Yandere Young Master Nan XiangWan!

This stage is amazing, amazing, amazing!

Was she really playing the piano at the start? Not a recording? Nan XiangWan is so talented!

Everyone make way, pic here! [Yandere Young Master].gf
