Her succinct message instantly ignited an online uproar.

“Mia is back, everyone!"

“My goodness, Mia, you're finally back! You owe us an explanation for your absence, or at least a twenty-thousand-word update of your novel to earn our forgiveness!"

“Mia just responded to mi nine!" Did you all see that? My God, I'm on cloud

Within moments, her notifications were flooded with thousands of comments, a majority of which clamored for an update on her new novel.

However, amid the plethora of comments, Maria spotted something curious.

“Mia, why does it have to be Clare Morgan to play the Ancient Zither for the movie at the Yeez Entertainment concert?"

“As your loyal fan, I love your films and your latest book, but Clare? Not a fan."

“Yeah, I'm with you on that. Anyone but Clare. I don't want Clare to be associated with the music of Female Military Counsellor A concert? Clare Morgan? Maria had no idea what was going on.

Thus, she took her search online and pieced together the details of the matter.

It turned out that after the box office of Female Military Counsellor hit the record, so the Yeez Entertainment was invited by the Musicians "Association to hold a concert jointly, thanks to the excellent soundtrack of the movie.

Typically, when Maria's novels were adapted into films or television series, she would compose the soundtracks herself. She had more than enough pieces of music for the concert.

However, a minor problem emerged in the concert preparations.

Maria's compositions required particular playing techniques, some of which were only within the reach of professional musicians.

Furthermore, her music often featured a unique style, best executed on traditional instruments.

The concert would showcase several pieces performed on the Ancient Zither, which were among the most favorite in the fans’ hearts.

Still, these pieces had one thing in common. That was, all of them were incredibly challenging to play.

Aware of Maria's busy schedule, Yeez Entertainment opted not to involve her. They collaborated with the Musicians' Association to select top-tier artists of the Ancient Zither from around the country.

Clare Morgan, a recent master's degree recipient in the Ancient Zither performance from a top music academy and winner of a national competition regarding the Ancient Zither, naturally became the first choice for the performer.

She gladly accepted Yeez Entertainment's invitation and publicly expressed her enthusiasm for Female Military Counsellor, stating that it would be an honor to perform its soundtrack at the concert.

Sadly, the course of events took an unexpected turn.

Shortly thereafter Clare's public comments, Internet sleuths unearthed an old tweet from another account linked to her, criticizing Maria's compositions.

“Mia's works merely flaunt her skills. I disdain such superficial compositions and would never perform them in my lifetime," the tweet read.

It seemed that Clare had posted a lot of similar comments on Twitter, which were dug out by Maria's followers.
