Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1334 - 1323: Siblings

Ascension blew up, and not just big—explosively big. Some netizens said it’s the best drama of the year, others said its ratings and buzz will be the highest of the past few years.

This show took off not just because Director Jiang shot the scenery so beautifully and the plot is rich and coherent, but even more because the performances of the two leads left everyone in awe.

If you talk about Shi Feinan, that’s expected—he’s a film emperor, netizens have never doubted his acting. But Yu Zhijing really gave everyone a huge surprise. After binge‑watching the first four episodes in two days, netizens finally understood why Mr. Duan said back then that she was the most suitable. One by one they showed up in person to demonstrate what "eating their words" really looks like.

"As a book fan I really didn’t think much of Yu Zhijing at first. I hadn’t planned to watch at all, but I couldn’t resist my friends’ hardcore recommendations. Now I want to formally apologize to Yu Zhijing on behalf of myself a year ago. She really played Yang Xi—the beautiful and badass girl from the novel—perfectly. I feel so sorry for her. Her adoptive parents were killed by people sent by her biological father, and even Hong Mo, who’s been by her side all along, had ulterior motives."

"I’m already done for. At this point I’ve started looking forward to the future ’crematorium’ scenes. Right now Immortal Lord Hong Mo hasn’t fallen for her yet. Later he’s gonna be the one crying."

"Yu Zhijing’s acting is really, really good. Right now she has genuinely fallen for Hong Mo. It’s hard to imagine how she’ll feel when she finds out about the betrayal in the future."

"It’s fine. Our Yang Xi was never set up as a love‑brain from the start. No matter how outstanding Hong Mo is, he’s just her tribulation. Once it’s over, it’s over."

"But then she’ll probably never have a heart again in this life, right? Honestly, if I were Yang Xi, after going through that family massacre and then suddenly meeting such an excellent, gentle, patient mentor, I’d definitely fall for him too. But who told Immortal Lord Hong Mo to be such a scumbag? I’ve decided from today on to hate Shi Feinan until this show finishes airing."

Shi Feinan, innocently catching strays and getting hated: "..."

But the higher the discussion heat, the hotter the show is, and the better it means he acted. Thinking of it this way, it was actually the audience’s recognition of him. Seeing everyone like this drama so much, he was genuinely happy from the bottom of his heart. He felt that whether it was him or the rest of the crew, what they put into this show was anything but ordinary.

Especially Yu Zhijing. As the female lead she never slacked off a single day. This little girl was honestly the hardest‑working junior he’d ever seen. Having all that hard work acknowledged is the most exciting thing. He sincerely wished she could go even further.

Thanks to Ascension, Yu Zhijing was truly on fire now. She’d already had pretty high national recognition to begin with, but because of the trash dramas she’d starred in before, her rapport with audiences wasn’t great. Yet the moment this drama aired, public opinion flipped instantly.

No expectations, no disappointment—everyone had basically given up on her, then all unexpectedly had to eat their words. Of course the audience couldn’t help but start growing fond of her, right?

Plus Yu Zhijing is young. When viewers learned that she rarely used a body double and was studying hard while filming, they felt even more protective. She’s still just a kid! And a well‑off second‑generation star is working this hard—what reason do the rest of us have not to like her?

Especially with how uneven acting skills are among actors these days, in the eyes of the audience she was practically the shining light of the younger generation. If she doesn’t deserve to be liked, then who does?

Some viewers couldn’t help but think back to ten years ago, when Yu Zhijing had just appeared on TV—a tiny little dumpling, especially cute and sensible. Add that original fondness to this new affection and she suddenly gained countless "dad fans" and "mom fans."

They even automatically explained away her past trash‑drama phase as teenage rebellion. Seriously, what teenage girl hasn’t dreamed of a white‑horse Prince?

And this affection for her rose a few more levels when her college entrance exam scores came out. It felt like their own child had gotten top scorer.

And her score really was almost on par with the top scorer, wasn’t it? Out of a total of 750, she scored 684 and ranked tenth in the province, with a full score in the essay! Whose kid gets a score that high and the parents don’t go crazy with joy?

To everyone’s surprise, she didn’t choose any film or drama academy; she applied to A University’s history department. Although people didn’t quite understand why she didn’t continue with film school, deep down they also felt that using such a high academic score just to go to an arts college really would be a bit of a waste. Besides, her acting was already so good, and she had so many veteran actors teaching her. She really didn’t seem to need more schooling.

Think about it—their girl was still running all over the country with crews a year ago, and in the end she still pulled off such an amazing score. If you gave her more time, wouldn’t she have been able to get a top scorer title too?

As fans, they felt like having her really made their own faces shine even brighter!

Even middle‑aged and elderly people praised this child Yu Zhijing, saying idols should be like her. Without anyone noticing, Yu Zhijing’s national popularity climbed again.

Once someone gets popular, all kinds of opportunities come knocking. Her agent, Sister Ming, and her parents were over the moon. Especially those two, who’d once been popular and then fallen off; they fancied themselves as having seen through the ways of the world and felt you should cash in hard while you’re hot. So they only picked expensive deals for Yu Zhijing, not suitable ones.

"This cosmetic brand was just exposed recently for having problematic ingredients. And this milk powder that claims to improve memory—do you think the audience are idiots? I’m not taking any of these." Yu Zhijing looked at the few of them with a cold face.

Liang Jin’s expression looked awful at Yu Zhijing’s refusal. Her voice went sharp as she said, "This isn’t for you to decide. We’ve already accepted them for you."

"You taking them is your business. I have to be responsible for my fans—I’m not going."

"Your photos will be printed regardless. What difference does it make if you don’t show up?" Liang Jin said, utterly brazen.

Yu Zhijing was shaking with anger. "You’re breaking the law by doing this without my consent!"

"I’m your guardian. I have the right to make any decision for you."

"So that’s why you renewed a twenty‑year contract for me?"

"Is that so bad? Without the company, how would you be this popular now?" Liang Jin looked at her own daughter like she was merchandise, with no emotion at all in her eyes.

"This is all my own hard work." Yu Zhijing forced down her anger.

"Your own hard work?" Liang Jin sneered. "If I hadn’t given birth to you, if I hadn’t taken you out of the orphanage back then, would you have what you do now?"

"You took me back just to deal with the media, didn’t you? If I had a choice, I’d rather have grown up in that orphanage forever."

"Easy for you to say. In the orphanage, would you have had enough to eat? Would you have the status of being adored by the masses like you do now? Stop dreaming."

"You’re not afraid I’ll expose all of this to the media and then sever our mother‑daughter relationship?"

"What would I be afraid of? I hardly have any contracts now anyway, but the savings from all these years are more than enough to keep me comfortable for the rest of my life. You, on the other hand—what do you think the netizens will say when they find out that the moment you got popular you tried to cut ties with us? You’re a minor. You have nothing. Do you dare?"
