As female artists working under a particular entertainment company, they had a harsher time, being exploited, compared to their male counterparts generally.
There were indeed differences in treatment across the genders and naturally the obligations each party must undertake were different.
The pay gap had been the most argued topic in the modern world. However, the treatment was based on the fan values each artist possessed.
The requirements for the male artist were stringent and highly demanding; so, their incomes appeared higher.
However, the main problem was in a situation the female artist completed everything the same as demanded by the male artist, would their salary and treatment be equal?
In the end, they were still exploited by the capitalists who would try any means necessary to raise their cash inflow and lower the cost, which included the artists' salaries.
The females were mostly targeted because they were prone to enduring grievance and tolerating, and never really fought for their rights. In fact, the number one reason could be that most easily accepted the situation.
Not to mention, the women in the entertainment industry were easier prey for the men in power. Most women, deep in their genes, desired popularity and the feeling of being worshiped. It was as if branded like an instinct.
Very rarely, women remained calm in the face of the possibility of becoming famous. It didn't mean the rational ones never existed but the numbers were rare.
How many flocked to curry favor from others or even sold themselves to pursue their dreams? Willingly or unwillingly, they found out hard to extract themselves out of the quicksand later on.
The capitalists benefited from the situation and treated them as toys. Of course, some rich women played with male artists but the proportion was in a lower margin. Therefore, the capitalists never respected artists, no matter how high their popularity was.

That was the reason why ordinary parents were reluctant to let their kids enter the entertainment because they saw through the bridges full of dangers and malice.
Fan Xi, who was highly praised by Yang Qingyue, for her actions and deeds, amazed Ling Qingyu, listening to her sister's narration.
After all, Ling Yunxiang knew more about the gossip than others and her news seemed reliable. Besides, Ling Qingyu could fact-checked later with Athena's support.
Although the public announcement was a donation, how much to be handed over to the donation remained in their hands.
Fan Xi's head bowed powerlessly. Against the Shen family, her prestige, fame, and influence meant nothing. Even pursuing legal action to sanction their prior behavior, Fan Xi saw no possibility.
Perhaps, her company and Shen family already cooperated and planned together, trying to drain out her value.
Fan Xi's method of avoiding unspoken rules might have offended several parties. They thought through tonight's scene, that those who attempted to seek her body in the past would be pleased and no longer pressure the company.
Thinking of the reasons, Fan Xi rubbed her almost watery eyes. She had to present her strong side and practiced deep breathing to calm down. Oh! How she wished for a prince charming to rescue her from the evil's grasp, like a little girl in a dream?
Fan Xi shook her head in dismay. Now, she must come up with a countermeasure to protect herself against the winner.
"300 million!"
People had given up due to the high stakes and were afraid of offending the large bidder. Although unwillingly, life and their wealth were more important compared to attaining beauty in their arms.
Fan Xi glanced at the person who bid and saw it was Young Master Xia. The second rich generation and an heir to the Xia family, equal to the Shen family. She had heard about his frivolous history, changing girlfriends like clothes and fancied capturing the hearts of female artists.
As for whether he acted gentlemanly or savagely, Fan Xi had no idea but both were possible. No news didn't mean, it never happened. And Fan Xi wasn't ignorant to believe, the boy abided by law.
"350 million!"
Another man captured Fan Xi's attention. Who dared to compete with Xia family? She turned her head and found the bidder from behind.
His seat was inconspicuous, near the last back row. Those who went against Xia family knowingly was either an idiot or confident man.
Her eyes were drawn to a handsome man, whose hand wrapped around another woman's waist. Compared to Young Master Xia, he seemed more masculine and trustworthy. The confidence exuded from his gestures intrigued Fan Xi.
But the presence of another woman threw away her prior thought. Another frivolous young man, similar to the Xia family.
