Jiang Qin had been busy filming a commercial for the past few days and really hadn’t contacted Mo Chen.

After seeing the trending topic, she quickly gave him a call.

Thankfully, he picked up instantly.

"There was a riot on Prison Star??? How are you??"

Mo Chen, on the holographic screen, was wrapped up tightly from head to toe, so Jiang Qin couldn’t tell if he was injured just by looking at him.

Seeing Jiang Qin’s anxious and worried expression, Mo Chen’s gaze softened considerably.

"I’m fine. I had a minor injury, but it’s much better now."

In truth, he had just gotten out of a Healing Pod, which was why he hadn’t contacted Jiang Qin for the past few days.

"That’s good. How did a riot suddenly break out?"

Jiang Qin suddenly remembered something and quickly corrected herself, "If it’s classified, don’t tell me."

"It’s not a secret. The whole Star Network knows about it by now.

It was just a premeditated riot. These criminals plot something every now and then. It’s not surprising."

After all, it was something that was very difficult to avoid. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

With so many criminals imprisoned, it was impossible to completely separate them when they went to work, ate, exercised, or did other activities.

No matter how things were scheduled, the criminals had to move around with other criminals.

This gave them opportunities to stir up trouble.

And that night, something did indeed happen.

The specific details involved Federation officials, so they couldn’t be disclosed to the public, which is why Mo Chen didn’t elaborate.

Just listening to it, Jiang Qin felt how dangerous it all was.

But she had always known that Mo Chen wasn’t the type of person to stay safely behind the scenes.

So she could only remind him, "No matter what you do, you have to be careful. If something happens, your top priority is to survive.

Only by surviving can you realize your ambitions. If you die, you’re really dead.

I’ll send you a package later. It has some things we prepared for you."

"Okay," Mo Chen replied obediently.

At that moment, his usually stern face had softened so much he barely looked like himself.

He didn’t lack those things, but being thought of like this showed that they considered him a part of the family.

So, even someone as stoic as him often felt lucky.

...

The trending topic about the prison riot died down after netizens made a flurry of wild guesses.

After all, that was a problem for the people in charge.

So after a few brief mentions, they moved on.

Jiang Qin, however, was very concerned. She would call Mo Chen every day after he got off work, as long as she had time.

As time went on, everyone began to let their guard down.

Soon, *Meteor Garden* aired its finale, and at the same time, *Mountain Village Old Corpse* and *Yin Yang Road* were released in theaters.

Even with the availability of short dramas, not everyone enjoyed these over-the-top plots anymore.

Many people still preferred full-length series.

This was especially true for *Meteor Garden*, which was particularly popular among the males.

Because the males were already romance-obsessed, watching the show not only made it worse but also gave them more zest for life.

If they didn’t even dare to dream anymore, they’d truly be done for.

Now, things were better. They didn’t just dream; they were filled with longing and constantly thought about improving themselves to catch the females’ attention.

After all, the male lead in *Meteor Garden* managed to win the heroine’s heart precisely because he was a good person, wasn’t he?

He was resilient, eager to learn, and hardworking.

...

The females also loved the show. Their partners had always come to them too easily, so they never experienced the cycle of loving and hurting each other.

Some didn’t even love their partners; they chose them simply for their looks, family background, talent, or other similar reasons.

Some were interested, but it was a far cry from love.

So they, too, wanted to experience love on top of these practical considerations.

Lately, when Jiang Qin went out for walks with her partners and children, she noticed many more couples on the streets.

They were all lovey-dovey, surrounded by the pink haze of romance.

With the addition of emotion, the Spirit World had clearly become much richer.

The females felt their Spirit Seas become much more serene, and during deep soothing, they found it significantly easier.

But they didn’t overthink it, nor did they speak of these private matters to others.

***

For the release of *Mountain Village Old Corpse* and *Yin Yang Road*, Jiang Qin didn’t take her partners to see them.

She had already watched the final cut at the company and confirmed there were no issues before allowing the release.

So there was no need to watch them again.

Most importantly, she found them too terrifying and really didn’t want to sit through them a second time.

The netizens were just as frightened.

[Does anyone get it? After watching, I’m scared to sleep again.]

[I can’t sleep either. I’m even starting to get scared of my household robot. I keep feeling like it’s going to suddenly flash a creepy, terrifying smile.]

[It’s terrifying, but the effect is pretty good. It’s similar to *Rebirth Night*.]

[It really does have a similar effect, but now that we have short dramas, I don’t think we need to stick to just this one method anymore.

Females who like horror movies and shows can watch them, but those who don’t shouldn’t force themselves.]

[Right, I’d rather see more romantic idol dramas. I prefer that genre.

When I see a sweet scene, my Spiritual Body comes out and dances. You have no idea how happy it makes me.]

Of course, when she saw a heartbreaking scene, her Spiritual Body would also appear, squatting beside her and sulking like a little mushroom with a dark cloud over its head.

Jiang Qin naturally took the netizens’ suggestions to heart.

Her new company already had quite a few directors to collaborate with, so it was the perfect time to have them film some new shows.

For example, a historical wuxia film: *Little Li’s Flying Saber*.

An idol romance drama: *Heavenly Marriage Dress*.

And a melodrama: *Mute Bride*.

Two horror films had already been released, so she could take a break from that genre for now.

Next, she and Long Hao planned to gather the cast of *My Date with a Vampire* 1 again to start filming parts 2 and 3.

Her work schedule was planned straight through to next year.

She was also releasing songs. Every month, she would find singers for new pop songs based on their musical style.

As of now, Tianwen Entertainment’s roster of singers was already saturated.

Jiang Qin planned to sponsor more singers later. If she found any suitable new talent, she would have to pull them into her new company.

After all, with so many of her shows on air, she needed people to sing the OSTs.

Rather than letting others earn that money, it was better to give it to the singers she wanted to sponsor.

Once they became famous, they could find their own work and wouldn’t need her sponsorship anymore. They might even be able to turn around and help others just like them.

This was the only way to create a self-sustaining cycle.

Amidst the non-stop whirlwind of activity, time slowly passed, and winter arrived.

*Farewell My Concubine*, which had been on hold for several months, had its worldwide release on December 1st.

Showtimes were available in theaters across the Federation, the Empire, and even among the Myriad Races.
