Once life returned to normal, everyone started getting back to work.

That’s just how life is.

Vacations were fun, but take too long of a break, and you start to get lazy.

Shi Lichuan took his bodyguards and his own team of mercenaries to a new, undeveloped Wild Star to search for resources.

After all, some precious resources were difficult to buy even with money, and their family needed far too many things.

Plus, they were on good terms with Si Xu, so they could easily ask him to help process some Exotic Plants and mutated animals into medicine.

However, it seemed he was also quite busy, constantly treating warriors on the front lines.

Cang Hong was practicing his singing lately. Jiang Qin had given him several songs and also passed a few to Xie Lili, tasking her with finding talented but unknown singers in the Federation.

At home, Yun Xie and Yuan Ling were currently looking after Zhaozhao.

Meanwhile, Lan Yuyan had returned to his company and started working hard to earn money. He had really started to mature, though, and no longer needed to work late into the night.

He would come home punctually around three or four in the afternoon every day to take care of and spend time with Zhaozhao.

Jiang Qin also understood how much a child needed their parents’ companionship, so she made sure not to come home too late either.

She would basically spend some time with her every morning before leaving and then come home early in the afternoon.

As everyone got busy, the person who accompanied her when she went out changed to Long Hao.

Thanks to the deep soothing he’d received recently, he had more or less recovered. At the very least, using his beast form was no longer a problem, so he was responsible for accompanying her out each day.

He would prepare everything she needed.

Every time she saw him, with his proud and untamable face, use a pink handkerchief to wipe her sweat and then hand her a pink thermos to drink from, she couldn’t help but feel a little emotional.

’Back when they first met, who would have thought he had such a delicate side...?’

Seeing her lost in thought again, Long Hao’s lips curled into a smirk, and he gloated inwardly.

’He just knew it. Qinqin loved his handsome face. She had already zoned out while staring at him three or four times today.’

Jiang Qin, unaware of his thoughts, silently finished her water and continued to remotely direct the studio’s work on her Light Computer.

As her personal assistants, Bai Ruo and Xie An’an were completely sidelined when it came to taking care of her and could only help by running errands and such.

After Jiang Qin finished her work, the person she was waiting for finally arrived.

"Miss Jiang, I’m very sorry for being late."

The male who walked in had a black buzz cut and a handsome face. Both of his ears were filled with earrings, and his fingers were practically covered in rings.

"Not at all, you’re right on time. Please, have a seat."

The visitor was a director from Tianwen Entertainment named Lan Yiran.

That’s right, he was also a member of the Lan Family, but his branch of the family wasn’t very close to Lan Yuyan’s. He was just a very distant relative.

The reason Jiang Qin was meeting with him today was for a new script.

It was based on a very popular idol drama from her time on Earth.

However, she had altered the content—in fact, she had practically overhauled it. Since the character profiles had changed, the plot naturally had to be adjusted as well.

For example, the F4 were originally four male students.

But she changed the male students into four A-level females from good families.

Then, for the character of Shancai, she swapped her for a B-level male from a Barren Star. His birth and innate talent were poor, but he worked hard to break through his potential and successfully enrolled in an elite school.

She could have actually kept the F4 as four outstanding males and the female lead as a low-Level female, maintaining that kind of high-status/low-status dynamic.

But she was afraid that this kind of plot would actually lead the Interstellar People astray, causing all the High-level males to start chasing after love.

There’s nothing wrong with pursuing love, but in the Interstellar era, a romance that could lead to a High-level male’s shortened lifespan was wrong. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

So, to be cautious, she changed the setup to this.

After all, females were the ones with the leisure and inclination to pursue true love.

Of course, this script was really just an experiment to see if she could pioneer this kind of TV series genre in the Interstellar era.

So, the logic wasn’t important. It was an idol drama, after all. What mattered were the actors’ looks and that atmosphere of surging hormones.

This was also why she had sought out Lan Yiran. Despite his unconventional appearance, the atmosphere in the dramas he directed was top-notch.

He was the director at Tianwen Entertainment who best met her criteria.

"Director Lan, you’ve probably read the script I sent to your email, right? I was wondering if you have any thoughts on it."

Lan Yiran showed great interest. "To be honest, just looking at the content, I personally find the plot a bit childish.

To adults like us, the protagonists’ relationships seem a bit like they’re playing house.

But somehow, it’s also very intriguing. Take me, for example. I was thinking, ’I have to see this through to the end to find out if they can get together.’

And if they do get together, whether they can win their families’ approval."

In short, it was cliché, but also incredibly addictive.

However, Jiang Qin felt this drama was actually quite decent. If the Interstellar People were to watch some short-form dramas, they would know what truly addictive melodrama was—constantly jumping back and forth between frustrating and satisfying.

Before, she might have hesitated about getting into short-form dramas, since she was genuinely busy.

But ever since *Rebirth Night*, she felt that this kind of entertainment, which maximized emotional impact, had to be produced.

Short-form dramas were more suitable than full-length series for those warriors to watch online.

So, she was determined to film short-form dramas.

First, she would use *Meteor Garden* to test if the females had a reaction after watching it—to see if it could trigger their Spiritual Bodies to separate automatically.

"So, Director Lan, are you willing to take on this show?"

Lan Yiran accepted. "Thank you, Miss Jiang, for giving me this opportunity. I’m actually quite interested in this type of series."

"Good. As for the actors, you can make the final call.

You can do some favors, but anyone you shoehorn in must have acting skills. Don’t take any of those who can only go through the motions."

Jiang Qin’s tone became serious. "I’ll be frank with you. The purpose of this show isn’t just entertainment.

I’m sure you saw last year’s trending topics, right? My movie, *Rebirth Night*, is still being used on a loop by the military in their online theaters.

This show is for me to record data. I need to test which parts of the plot, which scenes, are most effective at stirring the emotions of the females.

So, I hope you will treat this show with the utmost seriousness."

Hearing this, Lan Yiran indeed became much more serious.

Originally, he thought this kind of show would be a breeze to film; he would just need to focus the camera on highlighting the main actors’ good looks.

After all, aren’t romance idol dramas all about looking at pretty faces and shipping couples?!

But now he understood what Jiang Qin meant.

If the main goal was to highlight emotions rather than just promote the actors, then his filming techniques would have to change.

"Alright, Miss Jiang. I understand."

"Then go back and start preparing with your team. Just let me know when you’re ready to start filming."

Lan Yiran stood up to leave, earnestly expressing his hope that Jiang Qin would be able to come to the set to offer some guidance.
