After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 253 In this life, you live for yourself

After dinner, everyone went to Ye Yifan's house together.

She also owns a large apartment in the city center here—or rather, as is customary, she has residences in virtually every major city in the country…

This includes, but is not limited to, residences, villas, estates, long-term presidential suites, and luxury apartments.

Wherever Ye Yifan goes, he can immediately find a comfortable environment.

Ye Jin'er pulled Ye Siqing to play games, while Ye Sanqing followed Ye Yifan into the study.

Ye Yifan habitually poured two glasses of wine and handed them to her.

I met Sheng Hanyu a few days ago.

Ye Sanqing knew that Ye Yifan had come to her to talk about this matter.

She had originally planned to tell him in person when she met him during the Chinese New Year, so she took the wine glass and sat down.

"I saw it trending. If I didn't know you didn't care about this, I would have already found a way to remove it for you."

Ye Yifan smiled and asked, "Did he show any particular talent?"

Ever since they discovered that Sheng Hanyu was an uncertain factor in their last discussion, they couldn't help but pay more attention to him.

After all, this world is unstable; what if there were any factors that could cause abnormalities...?

"Have."

Ye Sanqing recounted in detail how Sheng Hanyu first used a game as an analogy and then said it was a precognitive dream. Then, with a hint of confusion, he said, "I don't quite understand. What's going on with him? Can he really predict the future?"

"Actually..." Ye Yifan pondered for a moment, then said, "Have you ever heard of something called 'rebirth'?"

"So he's on his second playthrough... no, wait a minute."

Ye Sanqing's mind was still in the game and he hadn't come to his senses yet. Sheng Hanyu did indeed use the phrase "had already played the game once" to describe it.

“It’s actually quite similar to the so-called second playthrough of a game.” Ye Yifan nodded. “This also explains his abnormal behavior in this loop.”

"Oh, and one more thing. He told me he wanted his dad to play a role in my show, which surprised me quite a bit."

Ye Sanqing recalled this matter and briefly explained it. Although this was Sheng Hanyu's privacy, Ye Yifan, as someone from the 99th cycle, should know something about it, right?

Furthermore, given their current situation, they must analyze all the known clues together.

"You're saying Sheng Luoxin has depression?"

Ye Yifan frowned.

Ye Sanqing did not film a martial arts drama at this time, and Sheng Hanyu did not return to China. The two did not know each other, so there was never any situation where "Sheng Luoxin participated in a martial arts drama".

"Assuming he really was reborn and returned to the country to change something, is it possible that he changed Sheng Luoxin's fate?"

Ye Sanqing analyzed, "I entered the entertainment industry before, perhaps to fulfill my father's regret. But this approach may have had little effect, or perhaps there weren't any suitable roles for my father at the time, so it wasn't until I was filming this drama that..."

"So, in his past life, Sheng Luoxin's depression led to serious consequences? Such as suicide, or some other tragedy?"

Ye Yifan also speculated, but then she frowned.

"Why do I have no recollection of this at all? Could it be that the information was being withheld? Or perhaps..."

She and Ye Sanqing exchanged a glance.

The worst-case scenario is that 99 reincarnations are not the whole story, but merely a drop in the ocean.

That's not all; you can feel it in all sorts of situations, but both of them thought they had just missed a certain number of rounds, like when Ye Siqing died early. But in that case, restarting would be equivalent to wasting a round, so it can't really be counted as a round at all.

But... what if there are 999 times in total? Wouldn't that mean the experience from those 99 times is completely unusable as a reference?

"It's alright." Ye Sanqing quickly came to terms with it. "Let's just assume that was the only time he missed it! The number is negligible, and we can just have him make up for it from time to time. Wouldn't that be perfect?"

"You're right." Ye Yifan thought about it and realized that he might have been a bit too pessimistic just now.

The main point is that this time it's real, so there's no room for any mistakes.

"So here's the question: if he fails and Sheng Luoxin commits suicide again, will it trigger his rebirth? And will his rebirth affect our round?"

Ye Yifan raised a technical question.

"This is too much like quantum entanglement, sigh."

Ye Sanqing understood this meaning. If Sheng Hanyu also possessed the power to restart the game, whether it was active or passive, if it could be triggered, it would definitely cause chaos.

If this situation were to reopen, it's uncertain whether she would still be here.

So far, Ye Sanqing quite likes this world, and she doesn't want to return to the Star Sea yet.

This return to the stars doesn't mean she actually returned to her original world, but rather that her soul returned to heaven... After all, she was already physically dead in her original world.

"Well then, since Sheng Hanyu and his father are both coming to my film crew, I'll keep a close eye on them. Let's just make sure this tragedy doesn't happen again, okay?"

Ye Sanqing said very casually.

When faced with trouble, of course you should rise to the challenge!

"As for why he only explained to me about Yin Junqi, I guess it's because it really didn't have much to do with him. Yin Junqi isn't like Sheng Luoxin, who can easily get into the crew just by showing her name."

"If you put it that way, you can at least judge his true nature."

Ye Yifan continued, "He didn't intend to use his newfound knowledge of the future to gain any personal benefit; instead, he tried to avert the tragedy. If it were just family, that would be understandable, but if even strangers have to get involved..."

"Uh, a redemption-themed story?"

Ye Sanqing thought of a new term he had recently come across and smiled.

"But aren't you the same, eldest sister?"

"What...you're saying I don't earn money for myself? Is it that I don't want to? It's that I can't."

"Almost every time I regain my memories, it's after I've successfully taken control of the night. I'm already very rich, what more could I want?"

"Once you've earned a certain amount of money, it's just a number."

Ye Yifan sighed.

"Besides, I'm not just living one life, I'm living a hundred lives... and the memories from all those lives aren't exactly the same, and there are significant differences. There aren't many overlaps that are actually useful."

Otherwise, why would she bother plotting against the Lu family?

We can simply use our previous experience to find their weaknesses.

But this world is indeed constantly changing, and many things are different now. It's no good to blindly believe in past life experiences.

"So, in this life, if you live for yourself, what is the thing you most want to do?"
