I Just Took a Photo, So How Did I End Up Reborn?

A transmigration story set in a bygone era.

Readers born in the sixties and seventies will smile with recognition; those born in the eighties and nineties will be filled with nostalgia; and readers born in the 2000s will be left exclaiming, “No way!”

The story weaves together tender family bonds and unforgettable romance, bitter tears and hearty laughter, underworld feuds and redemption through the passage of time...

Zhong Zhiyuan is reborn into the golden age of 1984! On one hand, under the pen name Zhong Wenlong, he makes a name for himself in three publications: Youth Literature, Story Club, and Tales Ancient and Modern. On the other, as the masked singer Zhong Zhenyu, he takes the music scene by storm with future hits and becomes the musical idol of countless fans. Along the way, he founds Flower Women's Fashion, stunning the fashion world with designs ahead of their time and earning worldwide renown!

His life is also a series of encounters spanning mountains and seas. He saves Guan Meiling when she faints from low blood sugar, using fruit candy. During the Los Angeles Olympics, a song wins the heart of Mary, a vivacious American girl. On a cold night in Harbin, he wins the affection of Alina, a Soviet exchange student, after they get drunk. In Japan, he saves Miss Momoko from Flight 123. While visiting a cemetery, he accidentally scares pianist Yang Liuqing into fainting. At Milan Fashion Week, he meets Monica... Some of these romances are moving and full of twists; others end in unrequited love. There is the regret of a woman leaving the world with his child, and the joy of finding love again after losing it. After all the twists and turns, he ultimately finds his way to Lin Zijing, an elegant and striking school doctor!

In 1988, under the name Zhong Zhenyu, he “composes” Hand in Hand and performs it at the opening ceremony of the Seoul Olympics. Before three billion viewers around the world, he removes his mask: the business tycoon Zhong Zhiyuan, the literary sensation Zhong Wenlong, and the music legend Zhong Zhenyu are all one and the same!

The whole world is stunned! The era erupts!

And then he receives a precious, unexpected surprise...
