Cao Aiqing transmigrates to a parallel world.

Music shouldn't be judged. One song, "Pearl Illusion," takes a sly jab at the entire production team.

"Rap isn't about who can shout the loudest. You keep going 'aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah.' How about speaking like a human being when you're in front of me?"...
