Actually, Xia Siyu had already anticipated this outcome.
After all, she was told right from the beginning that she wouldn't win this time. However, Xia Siyu still held onto that one-in-a-million chance, but in the end, she predictably got the 9,999 out of 10,000 possibility.
When the results were announced, images of Xia Siyu, Shang Feifei, and the three other candidates were shown on the screen. Since she already knew the outcome, Xia Siyu wasn't disappointed, nor was she angry.
What's the point? After all, this year, she and Shang Feifei encountered a highly competitive year. The Golden Moon Award has indeed been on a downward trend in recent years, mocked as "playing among themselves," with winning works hardly making a mark. If it weren't this year but any of the previous five years, her performance would have easily won her this award.
But sometimes, people are just a tiny bit short on luck.
