Su Che opened his eyes and found himself a poor student in the Huaguo nation of Blue Star. He had only 37 yuan in his pocket, owed 2,000 yuan in rent, and the "top-tier star songs" playing on the streets were all painfully obvious, sugary tunes about "loving you so much I spin in circles."
He discovered that this world's entertainment scene was unbelievably barren: the music industry had no legendary stars, films and television were full of clichés, and even Confucius and Li Bai were missing from history. Nobody had ever heard of Romance of the Three Kingdoms or Dream of the Red Chamber.
Then, clutching an old guitar, he performed the unheard-of song "Blue-and-White Porcelain" at a campus competition. The moment he sang, "The sky turns celadon as it waits for the misty rain," the entire audience fell silent, and the trending charts exploded.
From then on, he used classic songs from Earth to conquer the music industry. "Sunny Day" gave youth a face, "Later" made tens of millions cry, and his debut EP sold over a million copies, sending the sugary romance songs of pop idols straight to the bottom of the charts.
When people accused him of copying obscure songs, he sang "Seven Miles of Fragrance" live, and the number of viewers shot from 100,000 to 500,000. His haters became fans on the spot. When the big companies tried to seize his copyrights and force him to give in, he joined forces with small and medium-sized companies to fight back. He then filmed "The Price Tag of Life," a realistic drama that grossed over 500 million at the box office and won award after award.
Later, he wasn't content with being just a singer:
He wrote "Three Kingdoms: The World in Turmoil," making Blue Star's people feel their blood boil for the first time over the Oath of the Peach Garden and turning a blank slate in history into a wildly popular franchise;
He made an animated version of "Dream of the Red Chamber," whose delicate emotions and Twelve Beauties of Jinling captivated audiences around the world, with overseas views surpassing 100 million;
He held a "Tang Poetry Concert," bringing "Bring in the Wine" to the international stage. Foreign audiences eagerly studied Chinese just to understand the line, "Heaven gave me my talents, and they will be put to use."
