Seeking Out the Greats of History: I Return to the Scene of My One-Work Creation

Jiang Chen transmigrates into the body of a host at Yangshi TV, just as a dance from the Spring Festival Gala, "Only This Green," takes the whole country by storm!

The station chief asks him to produce a documentary series about history’s cultural icons who made a sensation in their time.

But Jiang Chen activates a System that lets him return in person to the moments when great masters created their one-of-a-kind masterpieces, and converse with the extraordinary figures of their eras!

Facing the young Wang Ximeng, painter of A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains, Jiang Chen sighs: "People in later generations say the painter of this work attained the Dao through painting and ascended to the immortal realm. Unfortunately, the painting bears no name or signature, and the artist’s identity remains a mystery!"

The young man smiles. "With mountains and rivers this magnificent, those in later generations need not remember me!"

Jiang Chen says, "This single scroll has stood unrivaled for a thousand years, like the lone moon among countless stars!"

Facing Wang Bo, dressed in white and full of lofty ambition atop Tengwang Pavilion, Jiang Chen says, "For a man of great talent, there are only two possible fates: immortality, or the jealousy of Heaven!"

Wang Bo says, "I, Bo, have only a trifling life of three feet, and am no more than a humble scholar!"

Jiang Chen says, "The river will flow on through the ages!"

After the program is broadcast live, the whole world is stunned: Our DNA is stirring! Cultural confidence has gone straight to cultural overconfidence!
