Money, Money, Money

After her home tutorials, Athena scrolled through her newly made accounts on this world's social media. She only have Lihua Andrea Wang and her cousins as her followers but she didn't mind. All her handles are @uwuharmony since Hexie means Harmony. She wittily adds 'uwu' at the start to give her account a soft touch as well as her surname was Wu. It was a big contrast to her cold-looking outward appearance.

After scrolling and giving hearts to Lihua's posted photos on Fastagram (which were a lot!), she went on to Owler and owled her thoughts. She would occasionally re-owl funny posts. When she got bored, she then went on to Metube and watched famous Metubers on her timeline.

To her dismay, there were only few novel-world artists and musicians that resemble her fave artists in the real world since this novel was published on 2010 and the drama adaptation was aired on 2015 (and she was still a dedicated fan at 2019).

Lucky for Athena, this world has Taylor Quick, Ed Sheewalked, One Path, Ladies' Generation and 4ne1.

Therefore, this world follows the timeline in 2010 but some people resemble those who acted in the drama in 2015.

"What if I become a fortune teller? And extort money on the main and side characters?"

Athena shook her head and concentrated on her small phone. The social media here is really similar to the ones in her previous life. She thought of becoming a Metuber too since she can make some money out of posting metube videos.

She brought out her diary that contains the plot of the novel as well as the list of characters.

She snapped her fingers.

"Of course! The Villainess Squad was a group of talented young noble ladies who play classical music, competing against the Female Lead's idol group in their university's Talent Search. They were all childhood friends after all! They were known as the Katsumi!" She whispered in one breathe looking at a certain direction like in reality TV shows.

"But in the novel, the three other girls would only appear during their college days, especially the youngest one who was the same age as the FL..."

So being a metube classical music cover group is crossed out.

Well...her voice was okay. And this body can still somehow play the piano, guitar, zither, as well as drums. Truly a musical prodigy. The only problem is her identity...especially her face. She was struggling if she would just cut her head in the video or wear a mask.

While surfing the web for mask inspirations, she stumbled upon an advertisement about an online PC game.

It reminded her of her college days in her previous life. Athena was not only a bookworm, but was also a gamer. No wonder she was single 'till she died. During her free time, she would either binge read, watch Asian series or play online games. Probably the reason why she got thick glasses too.

"What if I become a professional gamer?!" She excitedly exclaimed but then she remembered, before she mastered her skills in PC games, her attention went on to mobile games.

'Oh right. I'm still a noob in computer games, but a master in mobile games....and then my eyesigh got worse.' Athena pondered and searched for mobile games. In her dismay, there were no games that were similar to Mobile Myths Bang Bang or Arena of Bravery.

She once again crossed out becoming a professional gamer. And the possibility of ruining this body's perfect 20/20 vision.

"Hmm....what if..." Athena excitedly wrote down all her ideas. All she have in mind is to gain money.

"Ohohoho money... money... money~" She happily chanted.

All the while, the maids stationed in her room looked at their young mistress in fright. They have never witnessed their young mistress to be this...jolly. She was either wearing a perpetual annoyed expression or her sad face.

But this time, her face was wearing a sinister smile though there wasn't an evil intent on them yet it was still eerily creepy.

The old head maid, Nanny Lin almost popped her eyes out when she saw their Young Lady Wu in that state.

"We better call Master and Madam!!" One of the younger and newer maid said.

"Yes, go and call Master and Madam!" Nanny Lin said. Nanny Lin and the other older maids was about to cry from happiness. It has been a while since they last saw their Young Miss smile and laugh gleefully, and the parents deserve to see this.

But the two younger maids mistook their seniors' reaction as fright and immediately went out. One called the Wu parents, and the other called an exorcist.

The second Wu Household was in an uproar.

Meanwhile, in the center of the business district in Jade City lies the tallest and sturdiest building bearing the famous logo of Choi Empire, a red Dragon and gold Phoenix with the characters of Choi in the middle.

A handsome young fellow sat in front of the CEO's desk elegantly while looking at the similar looking middle-aged man positioned on the golden chair.

"Hmmm, looks like everything is in your favor, my son." The man stated.

He was bewildered that the girl who strongly refused the arranged marriage due to her fear and strong dislike of his son, now surrendered and wholeheartedly approved it. What did his son do? Did the girl got charmed by his devilishly handsome son.

"Don't go back on your words, Father. She already accepted the marriage alliance as per your conditions, now please do your part of the deal and let my band officially renew the contract with our label, proceed with our late comeback, and have us a world tour before I successfully inherit this empire." The young fellow said.

"Alright, son. A deal's a deal. I know you and the boys have already prepared for your music video as well as the album, so in three-days time you and your band will do a comeback showcase under your uncle's management." The man sighed while the young fellow smirked proudly.

This son of his is really talented. At such a young age of 19, he's already a degree holder at a prestigious university overseas. And he all did it just to debut in a band before he become part of the cold world of business. His dream and passion for music is unrivalled.

"We will win Artist of the Year as well as Album of the Year this time, Father."

"Last Song Syndrome" was already famous and had a strong fanbase. They went hiatus due to the problem on their contract. And now, this young fellow who was the leader of the group took this chance to revive their band before their contract get exterminated.

"Oh before I forget, there will be a family dinner with the Wu's in our home this Saturday," the man informed. His wife, Tanaka Kotone, has been preparing all week for that occasion. She heavily dotes on her future daughter in law that much. Even sending out investigators for Wu Hexie's favorite foods.

"Yes, father. I have prepared for that too." His son smiled rather darkly. Choi Hajoon shivered at his son's cold temperament. He conjured his plan meticulously, even using the marriage alliance as his bargaining chip.

He all thought of this while looking at the retreating figure of his son. It reminded him of his frightening old dragon of a father.

"May the gods bless them a happy marriage! And safety for my future daughter in law!" He prayed silently.

"And more victories for my son, Choi Kazuki!"
