Top-tier singer Ji Qiu undergoes a dramatic change overnight.
Fans notice that their aloof singer suddenly can't use a phone or tell foundation apart, his signature has turned into elegant calligraphy in an ancient style, and he even... instinctively gives a general's salute on a variety show?
Meanwhile, genius actor Fu Ling's gaze grows more and more dangerous.
The whole internet is shipping #ShuangQiuCP, but only Fu Ling knows that this "Ji Qiu" isn't the original at all. He's Ji Linyuan, the Northern Frontier General of the Great Liang from five hundred years ago, the very man who once tied a red thread around Fu Ling's wrist.
When a transmigrated general meets a reborn strategist...
Ji Qiu (Ji Linyuan): "Why are there demons everywhere in this age?" (He means smart appliances.)
Fu Ling (Fu Ling): "General, that's a coffee machine, not a trap in the enemy camp. (laughs)"
An identity-reveal comedy in the entertainment industry...
During a variety-show livestream, Ji Qiu unwittingly answers his lines in classical Chinese. Fu Ling improvises on the spot: "Well said, my lord~"
The whole internet trends: #JiQiuPossessedConfirmed #FuLingHisGazeIsDefinitelyNotInnocent
The official account of the Institute of Historical Research steps in to confirm that the red-thread weaving technique is indeed a traditional Great Liang token of love.
Two powerful leads trading barbs: the stoic general vs. the cunning strategist, with hilarious clashes between ancient and modern ways of thinking.
A bickering couple: from "mortal enemies" to "shipping myself with myself."
Sweet interactions: exchanging red threads, bridal carries, and a bathroom-door incident (?).
An explosive career storyline: sweeping the entertainment industry with authentic ancient skills and outsmarting villains.
"You guarded the realm for me; I'll pluck the stars for you."
I left this one in the drafts for too long, so my memory's a bit fuzzy. Don't let it sit unread.
What kind of fairy tale is this! The author is so good at writing! The setting of the ancient cold-faced general × the modern ruffian is a perfect match. Every interaction made me stomp my feet crazily in front of the screen! Ji Linyuan's character is so charming. Seeing him use a general's thinking to deal with various situations in the modern entertainment industry, treating variety show recordings as military drills, and live broadcast barrages as battle report analysis, this serious and cute feeling is so cute! Fu Ling's character design is also super interesting! The top star is cynical on the surface, but in fact he has a delicate mind. He discovered from the beginning that Ji Linyuan was not the original owner, and deliberately teased him with various modern things. The funniest part was the part where he was teaching the general how to use a mobile phone. Ji Linyuan seriously regarded the voice assistant as the deputy general who handed over military affairs, while Fu Ling was holding back laughter until he was internally injured. This contrast was so cute that I laughed so hard that my head fell off! The chemistry between the two is amazing! From mutual dislike to forced cooperation, sparks fly with every eye contact. I especially like the moments when Ji Linyuan subconsciously protects Fu Ling. He is clearly saying "trouble", but his body is honestly blocking the way. This kind of setting of speaking out of body and integrity really irritates me! The same goes for Fu Ling, who obviously could reveal the general's identity but chose to cover for him. Love it! Really good
