The final round was undoubtedly breathtaking. The song Wen Rou chose was a world-famous piece, and her vocal prowess was naturally convincing. The veteran singer she was challenging, however, had reportedly fallen ill, leading to a last-minute replacement.
Although the replacement supposedly lacked competition experience, his national status was exceptionally high, which made them feel that having Wen Rou challenge such a figure wouldn't demean her in the least. Moreover, the song this opponent performed was a piece praising their own nation and culture. Since it involved national culture, Wen Rou, being a foreigner, wasn't in a position to critique it, but the opponent's strength was undeniably formidable.
Still, Wen Rou couldn't help feeling frustrated. She had been through plenty of storms and high seas; what could possibly shock her more than dying and coming back to life? Today, she wasn't harboring burning anger over the outcome. You couldn't exactly call someone wrong for winning through emotional resonance—especially when she was performing on their home turf.
