Chapter 1

After I posted my retirement announcement, everyone applauded.

Only Simons, my girlfriend Julia's rumored boyfriend and rising creative genius, objected.

In front of numerous reporters, he put on a show.

"It's all a misunderstanding. Anthony is an indispensable talent. I sincerely hope he can return to the entertainment industry."

I turned off my phone, ignoring his proclamation.

In my past life, my work was identical to his original single.

Online users accused me of plagiarism and wished death upon my entire family.

Unwilling to accept this, I posted all my creative process, but it couldn't overcome the final publication time of the work.

His new song was published ten minutes earlier than mine.

Because of those ten minutes, netizens created death photo edits of me, and some even came to my house to throw paint.

Over several years, constant cyberbullying gave me depression.

My parents spent their entire fortune trying to clear my name, but were burned to death by crazed fans.

Finally, on the day his original song won an award, I leaped from a high-rise building.

Unexpectedly, when I opened my eyes again, I had been reborn on the day the new song was published.
