She had yet to speak when the martial arts department also expressed interest in recruiting.

“I’ll consider it,” Si Fuqing nodded. “I’m quite busy with filming; I need to assess my capabilities and do my best.”

Sang Yanqing was silent.V/\IssịT n0(v)eL/b(i)(n).co/m for the b/est novel reading experi/en/ce

Please, she was already traumatized by the phrase “do my best.”

“Exactly, one must assess their capabilities and do their best,” Professor Xu said with a smile. “Student Si, you’re so dedicated. I’ll definitely watch your drama, and not just me—my doctoral students will too.”



Professor Chen was not to be outdone. “Do you think I don’t have doctoral students and researchers? I teach large classes too, three hundred students per lecture.”

Who’s afraid ofhaving more students?

Both professors left in a huff.

The humble physics professor handed Sang Yanqing a business card before heading to the hotel Si Fuqing had booked for them.

They continued to argue along the way, all revolving around Si Fuqing.

This was an attention that Ji Qingwei had never received before.

This time, because Ji Qingwei didn’t write her essay, her total score was 640, ranking second—a high score nonetheless.

But due to Si Fuqing’s perfect score, the professors at Great Xia University had collectively forgotten about her.

At that moment, in the Ji family of Sijiu City, Lady Ji received Ji Qingwei’s scores from this joint examination.

“Qingwei, you are truly amazing,” Lady Ji exclaimed joyously. ‘You didn’t write your essay and still ranked second. If you had written it, you could have led by dozens of points.”

If Ji Qingwei tried to write her essay, she would definitely score perfect.

So, she should have scored 700 points.



A score of 700 in the joint exam was a feat only Ji Qingwei could achieve.

Nobody else would come close.

Lady Ji showed no inclination to blame Ji Qingwei; instead, she felt heartache instead. “Qingwei, hang in there. Yu Yao is still looking for the Heavenly Doctor Ghosthand for you. You’ll recover for sure.”

Ji Qingwei smiled, “Thank you, mom.”

“Make sure to rest well,” Lady Ji expressed her concern. “You vomited blood again this morning. The doctor said it was vital essence, which is very draining.”

Ji Qingwei’s complexion was pale. “I’m sorry to worry you, mom and fad.” But there were things she did not say.

In the past few days, she felt as if something was gradually being stripped from her, which made her anxious.



The secretary acknowledged and left.

The next morning, the crew of ‘Crossing the Demon Realm,’ a major female-led fantasy drama, officially wrapped up filming.

The official Weibo account posted the wrap-up photos, and the crew was preparing for the wrap party.

The post-production team had already begun editing the final cuts.



Barring any surprises, ‘Crossing the Demon Realm’ was set to premiere during the winter break on the Great Xia TV, in prime time.

One could only imagine how high the ratings would be.

Tang Haiqiu was overseeing the post-production edits when Director Qin called, “Old Tang, I’m terribly sorry, but it looks like we can’t get the prime time slot in January anymore.”

“What’s the matter, Old Qin?” Tang Haiqiu frowned. “You just told me yesterday that we had secured the prime time slot. What happened now?”

“Old Tang, I didn’t expect this to happen,” Director Qin took a deep breath. “The schedule review team told me yesterday that the 8 PM slot was available, but today, Teacher Tong’s team arrived, and the slot was given away.”

Tang Hangqiu paused, “Tong Luoyun?

“Yes, her,” Director Qin sounded helpless. “She’s also just finished a historical strategy drama, and you know the network reviewers love that stuff. They gave away the prime time slot straight to her.”

“After shifting to the film industry, Tong Luoyun hadn’t shot a drama in three to four years. This TV drama is highly regarded by the network.”

There was something else Director Qin didn’t relay.

As a leading figure among the top actresses, Tong Luoyun had been famous for a long time, becoming a ratings queen a decade ago and had won many mainstream awards. She had been invited by Great Xia TV to participate in their Spring Festival Gala multiple times.

Si Fuqing, a newcomer, was following the path of a popularity-based star, and this was her first drama; she didn’t even have a fan base yet.

Between the two, who could guarantee better ratings wasn’t even a question.



Tang Haiqiu fell silent.

There was no way for him to refute Director Qin’s words. Xianxia dramas were already difficult to pass through censorship, and that ‘Crossing the Demon Realm’ was approved without cuts was a feat in itself.

“Old Tang, how about this? Premiere it in April; the prime time slot should be available then,” Director Qin suggested. “It just won’t have the holiday traffic.” “Alright,” Tang Haiqiu sighed. “I’ll go talk to Fuqing and see what she thinks.”

After the call ended, he went to find Si Fuqing.

Si Fuqing had just removed her makeup. “Director Tang?”

“Fuqing, there’s been a slight problem with the broadcasting schedule,” Tang Haiqiu explained. “We lost the winter holiday prime time slot. We can switch to another time, what do you think?”

Si Fuqing looked up. “The winter break prime time slot is gone?”

“Yes, it was all set, but unfortunately, a senior of yours is taking over— Teacher Tong Luoyun’s drama,” Tang Haiqiu shook his head. “If it’s really not possible, we can premiere in April, but you’ll have to wait a bit longer. April is a tough slot, so maybe we should consider switching networks?”

Si Fuqing pondered for a few seconds, then smiled.. “Director Tang, how about releasing it simultaneously domestically and internationally?”
