As Liang Tian observed the exchange of gifts and the impressive displays of martial arts, he couldn't help but feel a mixture of admiration and envy stirring within him. Nearby, he overheard snippets of conversation among some relatives, their voices tinged with awe.
"Have you seen the gifts our cousins have prepared for the esteemed guests? It's truly remarkable," remarked one relative, their tone filled with admiration.
His cousin nodded, a proud smile gracing his lips. "Indeed, they've dedicated their lives to upholding the honor and traditions of our family. It's no wonder they're held in such high regard."
Across the room, Liang Tian caught snippets of conversation as the esteemed guests marveled at the gifts bestowed upon them. "Such generosity," one remarked, eyeing the array of treasures with appreciation. "It's clear that the Liang clan spares no expense when it comes to honoring their guests."
Meanwhile, another guest complimented a cousin on his flawless execution of a particularly intricate martial arts form. "Your skill is truly remarkable," they praised, their admiration evident in their tone. "It's no wonder the Liang clan is renowned for its martial prowess."
As the festivities continued, Liang Tian remained deep in thought, contemplating his own path within the clan. Though he admired his cousins' achievements, he couldn't shake the feeling of inadequacy that gnawed at him from within. Yet, even as doubts plagued his mind, a spark of determination flickered to life. He may have been an outsider, but he refused to let that define him. With each passing moment, he grew more resolved to carve out his own destiny and prove himself worthy of his family's name.
As Liang Tian ascended the stage to present his gift to the esteemed guests, he couldn't ignore the disdainful glances directed his way by many of his relatives. Undeterred, he focused his attention on the task at hand, determined to prove himself despite the skepticism surrounding him.
Taking a deep breath, Liang Tian began his presentation, offering the guests an excerpt of the song "Winter's Night" from his group's album in the mortal realm. Though his vocal rank in this world was classified as B+, his tone was something altogether different. It was smooth, warm, and gentle, enveloping everyone present in its soothing embrace.
"Lonely wind, Lonely sky
above the clouds a beautiful night
Why do I laugh? Why do I cry?
Frozen river forgotten in the winter's night."
As Liang Tian sang, a hush fell over the crowd, his voice weaving its way into their hearts like a sweet lullaby. The clansmen and esteemed guests listened in awe, captivated by the ethereal beauty of his performance. Some exchanged bewildered glances, unable to believe that such a sublime voice could belong to someone they had once dismissed as insignificant.
"Lonely seas, Lonely breeze
Why do I laugh? Why do I cry?
You're finally here despite you are not
Is this goodbye, Oh Winter's Night."
Whispers of astonishment rippled through the audience as Liang Tian's song reached its conclusion, leaving them spellbound by the sheer brilliance of his talent. And as Sis appeared to distribute the rewards for his performance, a sense of satisfaction washed over Liang Tian. Despite the doubts and scorn he had faced, he had proven himself worthy of recognition, if only for a fleeting moment.
Relatives and guests alike murmured amongst themselves, their voices filled with awe and admiration.
"I never knew Liang Tian possessed such a gift," one whispered, their eyes wide with astonishment.
"His voice is truly divine," another remarked, unable to tear their gaze away from Liang Tian.
Even the esteemed guests couldn't hide their surprise at the unexpected display of talent.
"I must admit, I underestimated him," one of them admitted, their tone tinged with humility.
"He may be an unconventional choice, but there's no denying his skill," another agreed, nodding in approval.
As the whispers of praise filled the room, Liang Tian felt a swell of pride in his chest. Though he had long been overlooked and underestimated, he had finally proven himself capable of greatness. And as he accepted the rewards with a grateful smile, he knew that this was only the beginning of his journey to success.
Amidst the murmurs of approval and admiration from the guests, Liang Tian couldn't help but feel a surge of happiness coursing through him. Though he may have been an outsider in the eyes of his family, he had found a way to shine brightly in the eyes of others, if only for a brief moment in time. And as he basked in the glow of their applause, he knew that he was one step closer to achieving his dreams, guided by the unwavering support of the Survival Idol System.

As Liang Tian prepared to present his second gift, he addressed the family head and esteemed guests with confidence. "For my second offering," he began, "I have created a new type of pansori—a traditional form of storytelling through song—that speaks to the injustices of our world."
With a blend of traditional melodies and modern rap stylings, Liang Tian launched into his performance, his words ringing out with passion and conviction. As he rapped about the struggles of the common people and the need for change, his voice echoed with raw emotion, captivating the audience with its power and intensity.
"Injustice runs rampant, tearing lives apart,
But I'll rise up strong, with fire in my heart.
Through the pain and strife, I'll pave my own way,
A new dawn awaits, in the light of day."
As the final notes of his performance faded away, a stunned silence fell over the room, broken only by the sound of scattered applause. The guests exchanged incredulous glances, their faces a mix of astonishment and admiration.
"Such creativity and innovation," one of them murmured, shaking their head in wonder. "Liang Young master is truly a genius."
