MOON Entertainment had just flaked on the first script reading. The rumors were bound to spread through the industry like wildfire. Was this a bad omen? "Ha, Yeon-a." Moon Woo-jin pushed his chair back with his rear, his voice crumbling as he called out, unable to even straighten his upper body. Whenever Moon Woo-jin called him "Yeon-a," it was a sure sign that something incredibly annoying was about to happen. Cha Jubin instinctively refused. "No." A wave of anxiety washed over him—the feeling that…-

This neighborhood was completely unfamiliar. Ever since I quit acting, I'd been smoking constantly. Specifically, I only smoked pheromone cigarettes. I'd even changed my stage name. Now, I was living a new life as Cha Jubin, my real name. The glamorous highlight of my life had ended at twenty-two. Currently, I was living a meaningful existence as a dedicated acting director for the exclusive actors at MOON Entertainment. "Oh, you're still here?" I was lost in thought, smoking for a while, when the…

Episode 1. Highlight It had been years—who knew how many—since I'd set foot on a historical drama set, or any film set for that matter. I never thought I'd see this day again. Cha Jubin exhaled a heavy breath, staring at the reality before him as if it were a dream. He tried to act nonchalant, but his nerves threatened to betray him at any moment. The air in the studio was a thick mix of fresh wood and lingering paint—the unmistakable scent of a newly built set. Light filtered through the rice…

Chapter 26: Ancient City of Weiqu (2) "Are you sure you don't want to buy a Monthly Pass?" Though the Paper Crane looked small and delicate, gliding with a deceptively leisurely pace, Jiang Qibai had to walk briskly just to keep up. She trekked across the desolate Gobi Desert, the identical, barren landscape stretching endlessly in all directions. The more she walked, the more confused she became about where the Paper Crane was leading her. Suddenly, the Paper Crane slowed down and came to a…-

Chapter 25: Ancient City of Weiqu 1 (D-rank) ] (D-rank) A D-rank Dungeon. Jiang Qibai felt a wave of relief, but at the same time, the name of this Dungeon felt strangely familiar. Yet, she couldn't recall ever having any information about it. Seeing that Jiang Qibai hadn't responded, the System repeated the question. The Leisure Area... It sounded like a harmless place. Her Safehouse was still upgrading, and there was nothing else she could do. Jiang Qibai decided to accept the System's offer. A…

Chapter 23: Snow Mountain Town - Playing Out of Turn The townspeople returned from the cemetery, fervently discussing the day's events. Rumor had it that shortly after the grave relocation began, Mr. Mayor had left due to a sudden illness. Rumor had it that in the opened tombs, every single coffin was unnervingly heavy. Rumor had it that the wind sweeping through the mountain forest that day sounded like a faint, ghostly sigh... The gossip flared up briefly, then faded back into a quiet lull. The…

Chapter 22: Snow Mountain Town 22—The Feng Shui Here Is To Die For The moment Jiang Qibai sat up in bed, she spotted a familiar, glossy black figure with two long antennae resting on her pillow. She stared in disbelief. The good news was that it wasn't a real cockroach. The bad news was that it was too realistic—even the delicate veins on its wings were clearly visible! She grabbed a nearby bag and stuffed the Imitation Cockroach inside, hiding it from sight. The Ugly Cloth Mouse had already…

Chapter 21: Snow Mountain Town (21) Burning Others to Light One's Own Path Day Fourteen. Today's daily quest was to kill two Mutated Shadow Ghosts. Jiang Qibai was surprised that it wasn't a Weekend Welfare Quest. On the seventh day, she had received one where there were no requirements on the type or number of monsters killed; instead, rewards were given based on a performance score. She had assumed today would be the same. She'd even stayed in her Safehouse the day before to rest and recover,…

Chapter 20: Snow Mountain Town 20 There were no new daily quests today. The quest log still displayed the completed Safehouse Upgrade Quest. This worked out perfectly. Jiang Qibai had no plans to go out today anyway, other than to collect firewood. She had a fever. She woke up feeling completely drained, with chills coursing through her body. A bad feeling sank in, and she quickly found her thermometer. It read 37.9°C. She immediately took a fever reducer. The fever wasn't severe, but it left her…
