I am the Rebirth System: The Heroine Transformation Plan

"Hey, Master, you're here~ I..."

Don’t reach out to hit the smiling person.

Master is not a person who holds grudges.

Xie Lingdang didn't even have the energy to sit down. She pointed at the water of the fairy lake with shaking hands: "Quick, quick, put me in..."

Zheng Chuting was shocked when she felt that Xie Lingdang's spiritual power was very weak.

She hurriedly and carefully used her spiritual power to lift her master's spiritual body and soaked her in the water of the fairy lake.

Xie Lingdang felt as comfortable as if her whole body had been soaked in hot water. She exhaled lightly, crossed her legs, placed her palms upward on her knees, and her body began to circulate internal energy automatically.

At this time, endless lotus leaves have grown in the water of Xianhu Lake.

Occasionally, a breeze blows through the space, causing the lotus leaves to sway in the wind.

Zheng Chuting stared blankly at the densely packed lotus leaves, and wanted to ask Xie Lingdang whether she should take care of them. Were they growing too densely? Would they affect the ecological environment of the lake?

Alas, it’s a pity that she didn’t study agriculture and forestry during her lifetime, so she doesn’t quite understand these things.

Zheng Chuting was staring at Xie Lingdang with her mind wandering, while Xu Yuanying had no heart to do her homework.

She climbed onto the bed in a daze and lay down beside Liu Hong.

Even if I closed my eyes, I could still see the battlefield with broken limbs, the ruins of Nanjing, and the miserable people who were massacred by the Japanese pirates in the book.

"what--!"

Xu Yuanying finally fell asleep, but woke up from a nightmare again.

"What's wrong, Xiaoying?"

Liu Hong woke up in a daze and rubbed her eyes.

"It's okay, Mom. I just had a nightmare."

Xu Yuanying wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Are you too tired? Shh—don't think too much, just close your eyes."

Thinking about my daughter who has to go to school during the day, and then has to film after school, and now has to go out for social events with her boss.

After all, he is only 16 years old.

She patted her daughter's back gently, just like she did when she was a child, making a hushing sound with her mouth in time with the patting.

Slowly, Xu Yuanying fell asleep again.

This time she didn't have any more terrible dreams.

Instead, I dreamed of large, pale yellow petals falling from the sky like snowflakes.

She looked up at the sky, which was dotted with stars.

A huge bright moon hung in the sky, like a beautiful silver plate, emitting a soft maternal light.

Just like her mother.

If you listen carefully, you can hear singing.

[......Mulberry leaves are still green before they fall. Alas, doves, do not eat mulberries! Alas, women, do not indulge in love with men! If a man indulges in love, it is still possible to talk about it. If a woman indulges in love, it is impossible to talk about it......]

......What song is this?

Listening to the melodious tune, even though I didn't understand it, I felt very sad.

"The Man" from "The Songs of Wei".

Xu Yuanying's heart skipped a beat and he turned back suddenly.

An ancient woman in flowing white clothes stood behind her, not looking at her, but looking up at the bright moon.

who are you?

The woman then withdrew her gaze from the moon and looked at Xu Yuanying.

She smiled slightly.

not the right time yet.

Why isn't it time yet?

Xu Yuanying was puzzled.

Then she woke up.

My head hurts a little.

Xu Yuanying slowly turned over and saw that her mother Liu Hong was not around.

"mom--?"

"Are you awake?"

Liu Hong lifted the door curtain: "It's still early, do you want to sleep a little longer?"

"What time is it mom?"

If it's still early, get up and finish your homework.

"It's about five o'clock. You see, it's not even daybreak yet."

The Wu family used to have a clock, but now the family can’t afford a watch, so Liu Hong can only use the most primitive method: looking at the sky.

"Isn't there a standard clock..."

"What standard clock?"

After hearing his mother's doubts, Xu Yuanying came to his senses.

Yes, the standard clock was not implemented in Shanghai until ten years later.

The noon cannon is still used to tell time.

[The warship fired a shot that startled everyone, and the twelve chimes were clearly remembered. The moonlight was shining brightly on the flower tiles at noon, and the sundial was clearly measured.]

After the establishment of the Republic of China, the use of morning bells and evening drums to tell time gradually declined.

Major cities across the country followed the foreigners' example and used the noon cannon to announce time.

It was not until ten years later that standard clock towers were set up in major cities for citizens to check time.

The power plants in the city will also sound the horn three times at 6 a.m., 12 noon and 9 p.m. to remind the general public.

Xu Yuanying got up anyway, washed up, and ran to the outer hall.

Liu Hong had already bought hot water, and the two of them soaked yesterday's leftovers in hot water and ate them with amaranth stocks.

"Mom, buy some salted radish next time. I don't really like it."

After Liu Hong finished eating, she put some leftovers into Xu Yuanying's lunch box and asked her to make some soaked rice at school at noon: "Wait until you finish eating these pickles, otherwise they won't keep well as the weather is getting hotter."

After dinner, Liu Hong urged Xu Yuanying to do her homework, while she went to clean the kitchen.

Although her children did not allow her to go out to work, she always felt that being an actor did not have as stable a salary as being a maid, so she decided to wait until her daughter went to school and then find a stable part-time job.

Xu Yuanying didn't finish his homework in the end and was criticized by the teacher.

After the class teacher found out, he stopped her after school and said earnestly, "Although you have good academic performance, you don't have to rely on filming to make money, otherwise it will definitely affect your grades. I know your family is in financial difficulty, and the school board is also discussing whether to set up scholarships to help qualified students who cannot afford tuition to go to college. If it is feasible, I will apply for you."

Xu Yuanying heard this and stood up and bowed to the head teacher: "Thank you, Teacher Lian, but I don't want to give up being an actor. I will make a reasonable arrangement for study and work. As for the scholarship, if the school can really support me, I will try my best to get it."

Four months passed quickly.

Shanghai has already ushered in the hot summer.

Apart from going to school, Xu Yuanying basically goes home to do homework and help with housework during this period.

She also lay on the table to write her novels and earn some royalties.

Apart from the one that just finished filming and the two dramas that have already been released, the company has not scheduled much time for her recently.

It was probably because she had rejected several previous roles that offered her various reasons.

In her previous life, she took any role she could to make money.

The next few dramas he starred in were not well received by the audience and were ridiculed by the public as being "good at performing seductive and aggressive performances."

So much so that for a long time, Xu Yuanying could not get away from this kind of vulgar female role.

This also made her very distressed for a while.

Later, she wanted to change her career and asked to take on other roles, but was rejected by the company.

She also had a quarrel with her boss over unpaid wages.

A year later, the company gradually marginalized her and started to promote new people.

In this life, she is determined not to accept such a role. She wants to protect her reputation and not make bad movies.

But being selective about scripts means having no stable income.

And the company doesn't like actors who are too thoughtful and have too many personalities.

Gradually, Xu Yuanying became very idle.

The company also said that when directors heard that some of the roles she wanted to play had to be arranged around her daytime classes, they mocked her for not having the fate of a star but acting like one.

After school that day, she went to the company again to ask if there were any new announcements.

I saw that familiar figure at the corner of the entrance.

Her heart skipped a beat.

It looks like something is going to happen early.
