【No slacking, no meltdowns, no dating shows, no livestreams. She acts with dedication, films ...
"Don't worry, I slept for twelve hours before sending you the message." Sheng Wenzhi sat back in the driver's seat, and Shang Yechu sat in the passenger seat.
"Then why do you still look so listless?"
Sheng Wenzhi started the car: "Before I slept for those twelve hours, I stayed up for two days and two nights."
"..." Shang Yechu glanced sideways, "Playing games? Writing articles?"
"Writing." Sheng Wenzhi yawned. "When inspiration strikes, you can't stop it."
Shang Yechu was ten times more interested in the "manuscript" that Sheng Wenzhi mentioned than in Sheng Wenzhi herself. Upon hearing this, she turned her head and said, "Could it be a novel? A short story shouldn't take two days and two nights to write."
“Hmm…” Sheng Wenzhi didn’t seem to care about Shang Yechu’s probing. “It’s a novel. I haven’t thought of a title yet, and you probably won’t be interested in the content. It’s an adventure story about a group of people in a general store.”
Shang Yechu felt that this setting sounded vaguely familiar: "What's so adventurous about a general store?"
As Sheng Wenzhi drove off, she casually remarked, "Something strange happened at the general store, and we need to follow all sorts of rules to escape... I'll tell you more about it when we get back."

Sheng Wenzhi's home was grand yet spacious, unlike the delicate, sensitive, and nihilistic style that Shang Yechu had imagined. The only characteristic of this residence was its chaotic and disorganized nature. Minimalist and Brutalist styles coexisted, resulting in a clean but not "tidy" space.
Sheng Wenzhi led Shang Yechu to the second floor and pointed around: "You can choose any room here except for that one—that's my room—and stay as long as you like."
"My study is on the third floor. I see you seem to enjoy reading now? You can come and take a look in my study, just don't touch my manuscripts."
"The kitchen is on the first floor, and I don't usually cook. If you're hungry, you'll have to order takeout."
After saying all that, Sheng Wenzhi was extremely tired. She yawned and said casually, "You can pack up yourself. I'm going to sleep for a while longer."
Shang Yechu was also tired, but she still had things to do and couldn't just fall asleep without any worries like Sheng Wenzhi.
Shang Yechu dragged her suitcase to her room on the second floor and collapsed onto the bed. Forgetting about the sheets and mattress for the moment, Shang Yechu opened Weibo and registered an account for herself.
This account is new. When Shang Yechu entered the name "Yechu" to get the ID, she was surprised to find that it was already taken. Shang Yechu had no choice but to change her nickname to "Yechu Leaves".
Since she doesn't currently have a management company, Shang Yechu can't even get her profile verified yet. She can only change her bio to "[Actress Yechu]" for now.
Weibo was already immersed in the Chinese New Year atmosphere, with entertainment and lifestyle trending topics dominating the page. Shang Yechu didn't have time to look at them; instead, she searched for the main creators of "Yun Qing Ji" and followed them one by one.
Zheng Bohan, Qin Tianye, Su Ge, Fu Yu...
After doing all that, Shang Yechu followed Jiang Shang Nongchaosheng, Yi Tianzhao, and others, and also fawned over the account of CTS Channel 6.
Both "The Legend of Qingyun" and "The Tale of Yun Qing" are set to premiere on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. Knowing your enemy is half the battle. Shang Yechu checked out the official Weibo account of "The Legend of Qingyun" and found it to be quite active, posting daily greetings and updates, actor stills, and behind-the-scenes footage, along with playful comments. It has a very active user base.
With the critical eye of a competitor, Shang Yechu wanted to find fault with the operation of the official Weibo account for "Qingyun Zhuan". However, unfortunately, even from the perspective of entertainment several years later, this level of operation can be described as extremely rare.
Shang Yechu had no choice but to give up on finding fault with her opponent and instead check the official Weibo account of her own novel, "Yun Qing Ji".
The official Weibo account for "Yun Qing Ji" is easy to find, after all, it only has a blue verified account.
The moment Shang Yechu clicked into the official Weibo homepage of "Yun Qing Ji", she felt breathless.
Can anyone tell her why the official Weibo account of "Yun Qing Ji," which is set to premiere in eight days, has posted zero Weibo posts?
