When Zhang Qiyang awoke, he found himself at the knockout round of "I Am a Singer." To his astonishment, he was now the son of the wealthiest man in the nation in this world! His predecessor had been a rebellious soul with an unwavering passion for rock music. He would rather remain a third-rate rock star than inherit his father’s vast fortune worth tens of billions.

The third competition of the second season of “I’m a Singer” was in full swing.
Ordinarily, viewers tuned in for the show’s top-notch vocalists and their incomparable performances. But tonight was different.
