When She Stops Being Dramatic novel Chapter 123

Chapter 123: Chapter 62: Top Star of the 1960s Cultural Troupe (1)

Sister Yun couldn’t help but shiver again. "You’re asking me?" she said faintly. "Who am I supposed to ask?"

"It was all his fault for being such a delectable young thing. I couldn’t resist robbing the cradle, and it ruined my lifelong reputation!"

"My first time... given away just like that, in a complete daze..."

The problem was her heart. Even now, it was still adrift, refusing to be reeled back in.

She had no idea how this love thing had such staying power. They’d become like an old married couple, yet she was still so attached.

She thought that if she loved one person with all her heart, lived out a full life in earnest, and had everything go her way, she wouldn’t have any regrets. She thought she could just leave that world and start fresh!

But now, she just wanted to cry...

Her agent could understand how she felt.

Sister Yun was a big shot at the Space-Time Administration Bureau—their undisputed top agent. Besides her formidable professional skills, she was also known for being incredibly chaste. Forget sleeping her way to the top; she still had her first on-screen kiss. Many people secretly called her an old prude.

She had been in countless productions, acting opposite innumerable outstanding, ethereal male leads and supporting characters, yet she had always held her ground. She stuck to the career-focused plotline, never getting mixed up in matters of the heart.

Who would have thought she’d one day crash and burn so spectacularly, and for it to be her who made the first move...

"Maybe I was still groggy when they sent me into that world. I wasn’t mentally prepared, so my head wasn’t on straight."

How else could she explain it? In the mission she just finished, she’d become completely shallow, content to live an unambitious, domestic life of a doting wife and mother.

"But Sister Yun, the ratings for this show broke all the records, so the higher-ups aren’t holding you accountable for dismantling the official couple," her agent said, handing over a file. Behind the plot summary were the performance metrics for the mission, all of which had skyrocketed beautifully!

That’s right. Wang Xianbing and Lin Jin had tormented each other for years until their feelings were finally exhausted. They then quickly started their own separate families, a far cry from the original plot.

Sister Yun had gotten completely swept up in the drama.

And she wouldn’t have to worry about being foolish enough to give her heart and soul away again, only to come back and cry alone in secret.

"Mingxing, how many more missions do I have to do?" Sister Yun asked wearily, thinking about how she’d spent decades in a single world only to earn a pittance of points.

Her agent simply replied profoundly, "Sister Yun, haste makes waste."

"However," she hesitated, then held out her wrist and tapped it a few times. A mission board materialized in front of them, pulsing with real-time missions from the Space-Time Administration Bureau. "Sister Yun, for some reason, historical dramas have become incredibly popular lately, but not many agents are taking those missions."

Sister Yun nodded in agreement. "Those settings are too austere. Everyone wants to reap the rewards without sowing the seeds; no one wants to be the one breaking new ground."

Mingxing reached out and tapped a mission highlighted in red at the very top. "So, to encourage people, the Bureau has created a special custom series of historical drama missions. Once you accept, you have to complete every single one. You can’t quit halfway through."

"As long as you satisfy the audience and the ratings are good, the points and rewards are absolutely massive. It’s comparable to the points you’d get for slogging through eight or ten normal missions!"

Sister Yun’s eyes lit up. She quickly tapped the mission to read the details. The requirements seemed simple. Because it was a custom historical series, each world was carefully selected to prevent the "actors" from improvising too much—like her recent stunt of dismantling an official couple. This mission came with one very strict condition.
