Undoubtedly, she was the most dazzling brightness on the pleasure boat tonight. Her dance moves and instrumental skills both testified that she was truly the best. As jade pendants were placed in front of her, forming a neat and pleasing array, the outcome of tonight's competition was no longer in doubt.
