Zhu Yun had never liked taking shortcuts in life. She also lacked that condescending sense of superiority, the feeling of being the only one who could see things clearly.
Many of her fellow employees at the Space-Time Administration Bureau were far too pragmatic, with a view of their missions that bordered on fanatical.
They had to abide by a few strict regulations, but the rest was left to their own discretion.
For example, they couldn't actively interfere with the grand course of history, such as power struggles between rulers.

And they certainly couldn't expose their true identities or manipulate the locals into helping them complete their missions.
Yet among all these regulations, there were never any restrictions on humanity itself.
Because public adoration was the ultimate yardstick, and everyone inevitably pandered to it.
