There was a special connection between book travelers and the Book Management Center.

Book-traversers were usually those who died unexpectedly but were unwilling to accept their fate. They thus voluntarily signed a cooperation agreement with the center so that they could enter the world of the book to carry out missions. To put it more mysteriously, their souls and consciousness could connect to the center.

So using this, Jiang Shining’s soul once again appeared in the management center that transcended time and the universe. She pushed the door open with such force that the robots seemed to freeze in their tracks.

What kind of people are the most terrifying? Those who have died, who would rather not be reincarnated than struggle to survive, and who have actually made it through the five gates of hell. Every book-traverser who completed a difficult mission and retired after that was a great demon.

What was coming could not be avoided. The robot responsible for Jiang Shining flew over awkwardly.

“I think you need to explain why that damned emperor appeared in this new world. Also, have you assigned me some new identity?!”

There was no other way, the robot could only tell her the fact that this world was a composite world made up of all the unfinished novels written by amateurs.

“Precisely because this is a world of failed endings, we have the ability to intervene and change it,” the robot said nervously. “As for your identity, I…”

“I won’t be someone’s mother this time. I have just become the vicious female supporting role, right?” Jiang Shining sneered.

The robot fell silent, looking a little embarrassed. Jiang Shining already had a guess, and its current behavior confirmed her idea.

“Because we trust your abilities… As you can see, the plots and characters in this world are… simpler than those you’ve experienced before,” the robot said sheepishly. “And there’s no danger to your life, so we made this decision secretly… You were so disgusted by all this a year ago that we didn’t dare to speak of it.”

Jiang Shining no longer wanted to dwell on this matter. Honestly, she had no choice. She would have died in the normal world, and if it weren’t for this book-traveling system that gave her a world to live in, she wouldn’t exist either.

She came here anxious to clarify another point.

“Why is Chu Haoli here?”

“Because we give some characters who aren’t utterly evil a second chance, placing them in a world with more orderly order,” the robot said. “In fact, the author is like the character’s parent. The author arranges the character’s personality and thoughts, and the character has no right to choose. After comprehensively assessing their safety, we will give some original characters who died due to the butterfly effect caused by the book-crosser’s modification of the world another chance to live.”

The grudge between Jiang Shining and Chu Haoli made it impossible for her to look at him objectively, but never mind, it was none of her business anyway.

“If someone like Chu Haoli can get another chance, then—”

Before Jiang Shining finished speaking, the robot sighed softly.

“Of course, as you expect. Your children are also in this world. However, this is a world with a high degree of freedom, and we don’t interfere too much with their growth.” The robot said, “This is our way of compensating you. Do you think it’s acceptable?”

Jiang Shining’s heart began to beat wildly. Since she completed the mission, she had never felt so excited and truly happy as she did at this moment.

Who cares about the emperor and amateurs? Her children, her real relatives, actually lived in the same world with her? For a cold and hard person like Jiang Shining, they were the only soft spots.

And let’s not even talk about the children who were already adults or approaching adulthood. She was actually very worried about her youngest daughter—at the beginning of the apocalyptic world, she had found a terrifying “monster” that was supposed to be the boss of the final chapter. It was actually a little girl who had accidentally mutated. Because she loved apples, Jiang Shining called her Guoguo. She was only four years old when she found her, but the mutation would transform Guoguo into a terrifying monster as she grew older.

At the end, Jiang Shining found a recovery potion and led a small group of survivors to survive, and humanity began to recover. But when she was forced to quit after completing her mission, Guoguo was still a young girl. So even if she recovered, Jiang Shining couldn’t rest easy.

Seeing that she didn’t say anything, the robot could even guess what she was thinking.

“Ms. Jiang, I know you’re anxious to find your loved ones, but everyone enters that world at a different time, with a different identity, and recalls the past at a different speed. So I suggest you just let nature take its course.”

“You have to tell me where Guoguo is? She is not like her brothers and sisters. Almost all of them have siblings to rely on after they become adults.” Jiang Shining said.

“Then can we continue to cooperate? You solve the problems in these amateur articles, and I will tell you where she is.” The robot said immediately.

“Okay,” Jiang Shining said without hesitation, “but you have to be as open and transparent as you were in the past. Don’t do things like hiding my company anymore.”

The two sides reached a preliminary consensus. Jiang Shining then realized the robots had inserted a bunch of confusing identities into her. For example, she was a wealthy girl who loved Xiu Jingrui, looked down on Cheng Luoxun, and repeatedly tried to trip her up. Even when Xiu Jingrui treated her coldly, she refused to change her ways. Of course, none of this had anything to do with Jiang Shining, but for some reason, it was forced upon her, and the relevant personnel would assume that the supporting actress was her.

After returning to her own world, Jiang Shining looked up Chu Haoli again—oh no, his name in this life was Xiu Lingfei. She looked up Xiu Lingfei’s information. If nothing else, knowing yourself and your enemy was the wisest choice. If he could be reborn, then so could some of the people in other worlds. If she were the only outsider in this world, it would be fine, but in this situation, she didn’t want to lose to these people.

She had to admit that the old emperor was quite capable. Tianxia Longteng Group was truly a benchmark large chain company, and it covered a wide range of industries.

Jiang Shining looked back at her own small media and entertainment company. It was simply not up to par. Initially, Ninglu Media strove to be a comprehensive entertainment and media company, but now it had gradually degenerated into a small company that relied entirely on a few contracted artists to support a few trainees who stayed at home. It just had the support of an established company.

To be honest, at this stage, Ninglu Media could no longer help these artists. Some of them were famous and some had connections. If the contract periods expired, their contracts would surely be terminated. Jiang Shining could understand that.

It seemed like this world had also integrated the entertainment industry. But no matter what, she had to manage this company well.

She had always looked down on Chu Haoli, thinking he was no more than an emperor, bossing everyone around. Now the chance to truly compete had come. If she didn’t make this company number one in the industry, how could she continue to look down on Chu Haoli? That would only prove that she had only wishful thinking and didn’t have his abilities.

Jiang Shining planned to visit this company tomorrow.
