After Being Wrongly Accused of Plagiarism by My Best Friend
Chapter 5
Without waiting for my response, he pushed me into the studio.
I look at the closed door. In my previous life, I was deeply involved in the plagiarism scandal, but there were still many loyal fans who chose to believe in me and suggested that I should participate in this competition.
To prove myself, I chose to participate. I worked tirelessly for over a month and made a song that I thought was perfect.
But unexpected things happened again.
After I released my song, Shannon once again showed the process of her song production, proving that she had sent it to the judges before me. So, I was labeled as a copycat by everyone forever...
I picked up a pen and started writing lyrics without thinking much.

Time passed quickly.
After half a year of seclusion, I finally completed the work. Just like in my previous life, I directly posted it online.
This time, Shannon didn't hire an online army, but everyone, including the organizing committee, discovered that my song and Shannon's were exactly the same, and she had released hers a day before me.
Combined with what happened last time, everyone naturally thought that Shannon didn't lie last time and that it was me who plagiarized her work!
Before everyone could dwell on it, Shannon started to livestream.
She looked haggard, with big dark circles under her bloodshot eyes.
She cried and said, "I really can't stand it anymore. Gina is not only my friend but also my idol. So, when she suggested that I participate in the competition, I didn't doubt it at all. When she asked me to show her the finished song, I didn't doubt it either.
"But I still had my suspicions, so I sent it to the organizing committee and then to Gina. I didn't expect Gina to plagiarize my work again. When I questioned her just now, she even said that it was my honor to be plagiarized by her. She also said that after the incident last time, no one would plagiarize my work.
"Indeed. I was wronged last time. It was Gina's own performance. But I'm just an unknown musician, and I'm nothing compared to her.
"I was forced to kneel, to apologize, and to delete my post!
"But Gina, you can't force me again and again! You're not gonna stop until I die, are you?"
The bullet comments on the screen were flooding, and everyone was cursing me as a plagiarist, telling me to get out of the music industry, get out of America, drop dead, and so on.
But soon, public opinion changed. Those who cursed me started to turn silent, and my fans all rushed into Shannon's livestream room.
[You lunatic. Damn copycat!]
[Stupid copycat, stop pretending to be pitiful, OK? Go and check Gina's Twitter before lying!]
Shannon took out her phone with a grim face. After glancing at my Twitter, she fainted.
