Jiang Shining felt she wasn’t the type of mother who was very good at raising children. At least, more than three kids were just too difficult to manage.
Moreover, all these children were raised individually, and each one was precious to her. Therefore, she decided that unless it was a matter of principle, she would not interfere.
The children were grown up and should be independent and self-reliant!
Jiang Shining coaxed Guoguo to sleep before returning to the master bedroom.
Jiang Shining was in a good mood because she was going to a beach vacation and fell asleep soon after.
However, after she fell asleep, her slumbering spirit vaguely found itself in the Book Transmigration Bureau’s workshop, surrounded by familiar robots and endless bookshelves that stretched upwards without end.
Jiang Shining had almost forgotten about the Management Bureau. She looked left and right, then said coldly, “Speak, what is it now?”
The robots respected her, a high-level transmigrator. At this moment, the robot responsible for handing over to Jiang Shining flew over, rubbing its claws together.
“Dear Ms. Jiang Shining, do you remember our previous agreement? You would solve the problem of Xiao Baiwen in this world, and we would allow your children to be resurrected in this world as well.” The robot said with a worried expression, “But because this world develops freely, we didn’t expect…”
“Didn’t expect what?”
“These kids of yours were originally set up as supporting characters and villains, but for some reason, after we checked them again, they all now have the destiny of protagonists.” The robot said aggrievedly, “The protagonist’s halo is too strong, which makes it impossible for the plots and characters that need to be resolved in those light novels to get close to you.”
In other words, Jiang Shining, who was surrounded by multiple protagonists, could no longer overlap with those plots in this world. Since they could not intersect, there was no way to trigger the plot to solve the clichés of light novels.
She had always played supporting roles and never imagined that this day would come for her.
The robots were starting to regret their actions— Jiang Shining had become incredibly powerful after her five lifetimes of experience. If Ninglu Media continued to grow, Jiang Shining, as the boss, would naturally have no way to clash with the poorly written characters in those lighthearted entertainment novels, and her children, whom she had raised from cannon fodder to protagonists, were simply too powerful.
Unless the entire world was completely reshaped, Jiang Shining, surrounded by numerous main characters, was no longer suitable for carrying out the mission.
“So what do you want?” Jiang Shining raised her eyebrows.
The robots would never destroy everything Jiang Shining had now just to get her to carry out a mission; that would be too inhumane.
It sighed and then said, “How about this? Because the difficulty level of this world is very low, the General Administration will send a new transmigrator to complete the twists and turns of these simple stories for you. After that, she will go to other worlds. You, as a senior, can just help look after her.”
Jiang Shining didn’t believe these robots were so kind.
“I don’t need to do anything else?”
The robot seemed to become happy.
“Of course, Ms. Jiang Shining, you can retire completely and live your own life. Wishing you and your family happiness, good night.”
—They’re actually that kind!
Jiang Shining’s consciousness left her body, and she fell into a deep sleep, sleeping until dawn before waking up.
After waking up in the morning, Jiang Shining sat on the edge of the bed, gradually recalling what had happened the night before… It was all good. She wasn’t particularly afraid of the people, opinions, or the public in this world, but she was always worried about the General Administration of Management above her.
Since the robots all said so, she felt relieved. Once the newcomer arrived, she could let her try her hand at various domineering CEO/entertainment industry scenarios in this world, get a feel for it, and the mission would be easy to complete. Then, she could go to other worlds to gain experience.
Jiang Shining went downstairs and saw that the two brothers who had been fighting yesterday were now getting along well again.
Jing Xuan was making breakfast in the kitchen with his sleeves rolled up, while Jing Yuan was sitting on the sofa holding Guoguo and combing her hair.
“I pay you every month, so why am I still the one cooking?” Jing Xuan said while washing the dishes.
Jing Yuan pretended not to hear. He was meticulously combing Guoguo’s hair, first tying a small bun with a black hair tie, then tying a cute hair tie around the outside of the hair tie, and then taking out a hair clip to ask her.
Which one do you like?
Guoguo pointed her tiny finger at an apple-shaped hair clip, and Jing Yuan pinned it on her head.
Because men in ancient times also tied their hair up, Jing Yuan was surprisingly professional at tying up girls’ hair.
After tying up her hair, he reached out to pick at the little girl’s little tufts of hair.
“Guoguo, which brother do you like the most?” he asked.
“Jing Xuan,” Guoguo said.
She spent the most time with Jing Xuan.
Upon hearing this, Jing Xuan smiled and slowly cleaned the vegetables.
“Oh.” Jing Yuan wasn’t angry. He looked up at Jing Xuan’s back and asked, “Jing Xuan, which older brother do you like the most?”
Jing Xuan: …
Can Jing Yuan have any shame? He only has one older brother.
“You,” Jing Xuan said, almost in a dismissive tone, as if he were dealing with a child.
“Did you hear that, Guoguo?” Jing Yuan lowered his head again to scratch Guoguo’s chin. “You like Jing Xuan the most, and Jing Xuan likes me the most. So that means you like me the most.”
—What kind of logical genius is this?
Guoguo looked up, completely bewildered by Jing Yuan.
The scene was initially quite harmonious, but Jiang Shining felt something was off… until Jing Yuan started gently scratching Guoguo’s chin and realized that he was playing with Guoguo like a cat.
Jiang Shining walked down the stairs, and Guoguo’s eyes lit up immediately when she saw her.
“Mother!”
Then they ran over cheering.
Jiang Shining bent down and picked up Guoguo before looking at Jing Yuan.
“Jing Yuan, you can’t treat your little sister like a cat, do you hear me?”
Jing Yuan innocently spread his hands.
Strangely enough, in the previous life, among so many princes, some liked to keep hunting dogs, some liked to ride horses, but only Jing Yuan liked cats. However, most of the cats kept in the palace were by women, and liking cats sounded too unmasculine, so apart from Jiang Shining and Jing Xuan, no one else knew about it.
When the meal was ready, Jing Xuan said, “Everything is ready. We can take a plane and leave today.”
“Postpone it for another day,” Jiang Shining said. “I’ll go to the company today.”
Although Jing Xuan didn’t understand why she had to make a last-minute trip to the company, he still nodded.
Jiang Shining had a premonition in her heart. The robots weren’t the kind of beings that would tell her the plan a year or a week in advance. Since they contacted her yesterday, they must have already gotten everything in order before asking for her help.
After finishing her meal and getting into her car, Jiang Shining received a call from her secretary, Xiao Wang, halfway down the road.
“Boss, Wu Ren, an agent from the artist management department, just contacted me. He said he’s found a girl who’s not very good-looking and asked if you’d like to meet her.”
Ninglu Media didn’t have many artists because Jiang Shining was extremely strict; she had to personally meet with each artist and trainee before making a decision.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shining knew that it was almost certainly true.
“Tell her to come see me in two hours.”
Two hours later, Jiang Shining was leaning back in her office chair reviewing documents when there was a knock on the door.
“Enter.”
A young girl, who looked to be around eighteen or nineteen years old, walked in. She wasn’t wearing makeup, but she was very beautiful and had a unique charm. It was the kind of beauty that, at first glance, seemed delicate and pretty, but the more you looked at her, the more beautiful and elegant she became.
She walked in, saw Jiang Shining, and bowed respectfully.
“Senior.”
As expected, she’s the newbie who transmigrated into the book.
Jiang Shining nodded gently. Looking at this girl was like looking at herself back then, she felt very emotional and gratified.
“Your name in this world is Zhao Muyu.”
“Yes.” She nodded generously and introduced herself, “My original name is Zou Yu. I was originally twenty years old, but I am nineteen here. I just completed three months of training in the Bureau’s simulated world. This is my first mission.”
Those who transmigrated into books were mostly people who died violent deaths, and only those with an extremely strong desire to live are chosen. Jiang Shining died at the age of twenty-two, and her death ended in a very ordinary way— a car accident. Now, thinking back, it felt like something from several lifetimes ago.
Despite her young age, Zou Yu’s smile concealed a heavy past marked by death.
“This world isn’t difficult. The plots you’ll be dealing with are usually lighthearted romance stories, with no life-threatening dangers, just emotional entanglements, so you can focus on honing your acting skills,” Jiang Shining said. “You’ll gradually become more proficient.”
Zhou Yu smiled and nodded.
“I will study hard and strive to go to a more challenging world next.”
All worlds are tiered, with the difference in difficulty depending on the level of realism and cruelty. The characters in these worlds were also more realistic, making them more difficult to conquer. In higher-level worlds, you could retire and regain your chance to live after traversing five worlds, while in these simpler, less complex worlds, you’ll basically have to grind through ten or twenty worlds.
Each world took anywhere from a few years to several decades to complete. Ten worlds would take too long, and even if it were safe, not many people could endure it.
In short, Zou Yu’s task would definitely be related to the entertainment industry, and Jiang Shining’s job was simply to push her into it. As for whether she would switch jobs or take on film roles later, Zou Yu and the Management Bureau would make their own decisions, and Jiang Shining didn’t need to interfere too much.
If Zou Yu completed the mission, the chaos in this world would be pruned away like branches and leaves, leaving behind a better world. Jiang Shining naturally welcomed someone to do this.
To maintain appearances, the two signed a contract.
“Who is your target for this mission?” Jiang Shining suddenly remembered to ask.
“Because it’s simple, there are several,” Zou Yu said. “One is in the entertainment industry, one is a domineering CEO, and one is a campus. This kind of mixed world is too rare. The robot said I can complete the tasks in the entertainment industry and the domineering CEO at the same time, and then do the campus task.”
Jiang Shining nodded and handed her the contract.
“I’ll take care of everything here. Just give me a call if you need anything.”
Zou Yu nodded obediently, and Jiang Shining’s mood instantly improved. With someone to carry on the family line, she could retire and live her life in peace.
