I Swapped Bodies With a Female Celebrity - Chapter 49

No wonder Sister Lin thought this way. Who was Chen Qiyun? She debuted at thirteen, and by fifteen, she had already released her first album—written and composed entirely by herself!

Even more unbelievable? That debut album sold over a million copies!

That was data only A-list superstars could achieve.

Over the next eight years, Chen Qiyun released albums at a rate of one every two years, and each one was met with fervent admiration from countless young fans!

Though she was only twenty-three now, she had already been in the industry for a decade.

Thus, she was hailed as the strongest original creator of the younger generation—a cut above the rest.

So, from an outsider’s perspective, Qin Yunxuan had only released two songs. Sure, they were classics, but compared to Chen Qiyun’s illustrious achievements? There was simply no comparison!

This was why Sister Lin thought Qin Lang was getting ahead of himself.

Chen Qiyun was a powerhouse. Without some real skill, Qin Yunxuan could easily be crushed in an instant.

Starlight Entertainment naturally didn’t want Qin Yunxuan to be pitted against Chen Qiyun so soon, but since Liu Qingcheng had already drawn the comparison, more and more people would inevitably follow suit.

If Qin Yunxuan fell short, it would be disastrous for her future career.

And Sister Lin’s worries were already beginning to surface online.

“Liu Qingcheng’s praise is way over the top!”

“I admit Qin Yunxuan’s two songs are great, but comparing her to Chen Qiyun? That’s just delusional!”

“Chen Qiyun is the undisputed queen of the new generation!”

…

Just as Sister Lin was growing anxious, a post suddenly appeared online, completely shifting the focus of the discussion.

“Everyone knows Qin Yunxuan’s song ‘Blue Lotus’ was inspired by her personal experiences. So, does ‘Sacrifice’ mean she has some untold romantic history?”

“The emotions in ‘Sacrifice’ are way too intense. You can’t write something like that without firsthand experience!”

“So, almighty netizens, does anyone have any info about Qin Yunxuan’s pre-debut life?”

…

The moment this post went up, it caused an uproar.

“I tried to hide it for so long, but you found me out! Fine, I confess—I’m Qin Yunxuan’s ex-boyfriend!”

“Get real, dude! Qin Yunxuan confessed to ME, but I was too focused on studying to accept her feelings…”

“Qin Yunxuan, I was wrong. Can we go back to how things were?”

“Wait, Qin Yunxuan dated someone? Unfollowing! Unfollowing!”

…

Almost instantly, countless netizens shifted their attention to whether Qin Yunxuan had ever had a boyfriend.

After all, Qin Yunxuan had originally dominated the entertainment industry with her looks alone.

If it turned out she had a romantic past? That would be explosive news.

Paparazzi, sensing a major scoop, began digging for clues.

…..

Meanwhile, in a piano practice room, a girl was hunched over, scribbling something.

Knock, knock, knock. The door opened, and a woman in black-framed glasses walked in.

“Qiyun, did you watch The Singer today?”

The girl looked up, puzzled. “The Singer? Oh, the show that invited us before? What about it?”

The bespectacled woman nodded. “A monster appeared on that stage—Qin Yunxuan!”

Chen Qiyun’s expression instantly turned strange.

“Qin Yunxuan? That pretty face with no talent?”

The woman shook her head. “That’s what people used to think. Now? She’s a red-hot original singer!”

She pulled out her phone.

“Here are her two new songs. Listen for yourself. Oh, and did you hear about what happened on the New Songs Chart yesterday?”

To her surprise, Chen Qiyun shook her head. “No, what happened?”

The woman sighed.

Of course. Chen Qiyun was a workaholic. Once she was in the zone, she tuned out the outside world entirely.

She quickly summarized the events.

After listening—and then playing Qin Yunxuan’s two new songs—Chen Qiyun’s eyes lit up.

“Did she really… write these?”

“Unconfirmed, but according to Starlight Entertainment’s statements, yes.”

“Interesting.”

A spark of excitement flashed in Chen Qiyun’s eyes.

As the strongest original artist of her generation, she knew exactly how rare such masterpieces were.

Even for her, crafting songs of this caliber wasn’t easy.

It required inspiration—something fleeting and unpredictable.

“Chenchen, didn’t The Singer reach out to me before?” Chen Qiyun mused after a moment.

The woman nodded. “Yes, but you said you were too busy. Wait, are you…?”

“Contact the show’s director. Tell them I want in for the next episode.”

The woman’s eyes widened. “But you never liked these kinds of shows!”

“That was before I had an opponent like Qin Yunxuan.”

Chen Qiyun took a deep breath, her voice firm.

“These past two years, I’ve felt stagnant. I thought I’d hit a bottleneck, but the truth is, I lacked competition. Without pressure, I had no drive to improve.”

“If I want to reach the next level, I need a challenge. And from these two songs, I see that challenge in Qin Yunxuan.”

“You can’t be serious!” The woman laughed dryly. “We don’t even know if she really wrote them!”

“Regardless, I won’t let this opportunity slip.”

Chen Qiyun’s voice was resolute.

“I just hope… she doesn’t disappoint me.”

…..

Meanwhile, Qin Lang—currently the hot topic online—was lying in bed, ready to sleep.

“These people are ridiculous! Talking about ex-boyfriends? What nonsense!”

Scrolling through the discussions, Qin Lang couldn’t help but grumble.

Still, a sliver of unease crept in. Did Qin Yunxuan actually have an ex or something?

With her looks, even before entering the entertainment industry, she must’ve had admirers, right?

What if some “ex-boyfriend” suddenly popped up one day? How would he handle that?

Qin Lang shuddered, then abruptly sat up.

“Guess I’d better quietly dig into my past.”

Asking Sister Lin directly would raise suspicions.

After a moment’s thought, he sent Mu Zhiyan a message:

“Saw the news online? Back in school… do you think anyone actually had a crush on me?”

Mu Zhiyan replied almost instantly:

“LOL, are you kidding? You were a nerdy bookworm back then. And…”

Attached was a photo of Qin Yunxuan from her school days.

“What guy would be blind enough to fall for… this?”

Qin Lang stared at the photo, stunned.

A bowl-cut hairstyle, thick black glasses, and an oversized, outdated school uniform—this was his past self?

“Guess it’s true what they say… a girl changes eighteen times before adulthood.”

Glancing at his radiant reflection in the mirror, Qin Lang murmured to himself.
