Chapter 622 To the Next Round

That day, Rachel found a piece of music in the orchestra that was perfect for the "love" theme. She remembered the melody, and with just a slight modification, it could be used as her entry for the competition. At that moment, Rachel felt incredibly lucky.

The piece was already quite popular, and if it was put to an online vote, Rachel believed she would at least earn a special

With the submission deadline for the composition approaching, Rachel was preparing to make a few tweaks to the melody and submit it for the competition.

The melody was beautiful, and the competition required participants to compose within 48 hours. Using an existing piece was risky, but Rachel was willing to take the chance. She figured that with her minor changes, no one would be able
