“...”
The room suddenly fell silent.
It was so quiet that even the sounds of breathing and heartbeats were clear.
The screenwriter’s eyes widened, feeling her adrenaline surge and her heart constrict.
Clutching her chest, she stammered, “M-Miss Si, please don’t scare me.”
“I’m not scaring you,” Si Fuqing’s fox-like eyes curved into a smile. “I’m serious. If I dream about him, I can relay your questions. I actually have a psychic ability.”
“Oh, I see.” The screenwriter patted her chest, still feeling uneasy, and handed over the notebook. “These are the questions I have. I couldn’t find the answers in any historical records, so I didn’t want to make things up.”
Si Fuqing glanced at it and raised an eyebrow. “Sister, you’re really thorough with your research.”
Even questions about whether JIANG Xuanjin had received sachets from girls were listed.
The screenwriter felt a bit embarrassed. “Occupational habit.”
“Alright.” Si Fuqing looked over the questions and committed them to memory. “We need to portray him accurately and expand his role.”
Inspired by her confidence, the screenwriter felt more assured. “Got it, Miss Si!”
“I’ll go take a nap now.” Si Fuqing stood up and winked. “I’ll send you the first-hand information after I wake up.”
The screenwriter was left bewildered. “...??”
Relying on dreams?!
In a daze, she escorted Si Fuqing out, running into Director Lu, who had just returned from the border.
Seeing her dazed expression, Director Lu couldn’t help but tease, “What happened? Did Miss Si scare you?”
The screenwriter, still in a stupor, simply nodded.
Director Lu lowered his voice. “Didn’t Miss Sang warn you to keep a strong heart while working with Miss Si? She even gave you a heads-up.”
“But... but Miss Si said...” The screenwriter stammered. “She said she would help me ask JIANG Xuanjin if he had a sweetheart, claiming she could communicate with him in her dreams, and I believed her.”
Director Lu: “...”
This wasn’t just about maintaining a strong heart; it was about reshaping one’s entire worldview.
He needed a moment to process this.

In her apartment.
Si Fuqing lay down in her gaming pod.
For the past few days, she had been sleeping in the gaming pod, playing games, and watching historical events unfold, fully aware of the harsh realities of this brief twenty-year history.
She had bid farewell to JIANG Haiping and, a few days ago, watched helplessly as Mo Yanfeng sacrificed himself for the city.
She couldn’t alter these key events, nor was she allowed to.
All she could do was remember the solution to the Mo family’s Mechanism City and inform Yu Xiheng and Mo Yanwen.
Squinting, Si Fuqing adjusted to the strong sunlight and high altitude of North State before opening her eyes.
She was still in Yanmen, but it was four years after JIANG Haiping’s death.
The barbarian tribes had been developing on the North State frontier for decades, their physiques stronger than those of the Great Xia people, and they had once again gathered thousands of troops to invade.
This war had been raging for over a decade.
Following the route in her mind, Si Fuqing entered the commander’s tent.
Si Fuqing: “...”
Why did she always end up working wherever she went?
But she knew the emperor was training her in military tactics. He was a natural-born war god, adept at warfare.
After a night of strategizing, Si Fuqing ended her journey in the Great Xia.
At eight in the morning, she opened her eyes, the sunlight casting a faint golden glow on the floor.
She stared at the green trees outside, lost in thought.
For some reason, the emperor gave her a feeling of always being there, never leaving.
That inexplicable sense of familiarity lingered in her heart.
The phone ringing broke the morning silence.
Si Fuqing answered, “Hello, Brother Nine.”
The man’s cool voice came through the receiver. “You’re up.”
“Just woke up.” Si Fuqing jumped out of the gaming pod and stretched. “The crew is heading to the border for location scouting tomorrow. Do you want to eat something?”
Yu Xiheng chuckled slowly. “I don’t trust the lady’s cooking skills.”
Si Fuqing: “...”
She angrily retorted into the phone, “Then starve to death.”
Putting down the phone, Si Fuqing saw Ye Zhenmian busy in the kitchen. “Auntie, let me help you.”
Startled, Ye Zhenmian quickly said, “No, no, Qingqing, you sit down.”
Nian Yi’an also chimed in, “Sis, be mindful of your actions and protect the kitchen.”
Si Fuqing smiled while holding a teacup.
Her fists tightened.
One day, she vowed to successfully cook a meal.

Elsewhere, in a temporary phone booth.
“Miss Yuzhen,” Butler Ye said, covering the mouthpiece. “We found her, but Miss Zhenmian is already married with a child, and she brought along a nobody. I think Miss Junci intends to bring them all back to the Ye family.”
“A nobody?” Ye Yuzhen squinted. “Is she related to the Ye family?”
“No, she’s her husband’s niece,” Butler Ye replied. “No blood relation to the Ye family, but she’s a big star with a significant reputation in the secular world.”
“Alright, I see.” Ye Yuzhen instructed, “Send me the details.”
A few minutes later, she received the information from Butler Ye.
Ye Zhenmian’s family of three seemed ordinary and unremarkable, except for their good looks.
Ye Yuzhen opened Si Fuqing’s photo and gasped.
She was indeed very beautiful.
Even among evolved beings, few had such high looks.
Si Fuqing’s information was readily available online.
Housekeeper Ye had sent the details from an encyclopedia entry.
“Hmm...” Ye Yuzhen tapped her desk. “The Shen family wants to reconcile with us. Old madam, what do you think about marrying Ye Zhenmian’s nobody into the Shen family?”
Si Fuqing was not a suitable match for her son.
But sending her to the Shen family seemed fitting.
