Synopsis

Chen Yan opens his eyes and finds himself standing beneath the spotlights. Below the stage is a crowd of frenzied strangers, while beside him an idol dances to street-style choreography with a classical twist. This is a parallel world where history took a turn during the Qin dynasty, and culture withered amid the flames of war. The Dragon Kingdom is powerful, but its soul is hollow. The original owner of this body is an abandoned, washed-up entertainer! Chen Yan, however, carries the memories of all Chinese civilization with him: from the Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng to Journey to the West, from popularizing mythology to traditional opera. Facing a live broadcast and a venue full of ridicule, he begins reciting the Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng! Then, over drinks, he writes Li Bai's Bring in the Wine! One peerless masterpiece after another, the music of a glorious age rings out in this world for the first time. The comments explode, the mentors are stunned, and the top-tier star from his former agency, who came to humiliate him, is dumbfounded. But what they find even harder to understand is this: After every time he shocks the world, Chen Yan says he is a transmigrator! All these achievements belong to the sages, and he dares not take the credit. "The poem is Li Bai's." "The lyrics are Su Shi's." "This Journey to the West belongs to Wu Cheng'en." Everyone laughs at him: "He won't put his name on it because he's obviously guilty!" The bigwigs move to crush him: "Investigate! He must have a whole team behind him!" Single-handedly, he recreates lost classics on the show and promotes every outstanding aspect of Chinese civilization! When foreign netizens boast about their heritage and the people of the Dragon Kingdom are at a loss, Chen Yan calmly says, "With me here, there's nothing to fear!" This is not simply a story about bringing culture from one world to another. The early chapters may be controversial, but when the foreshadowing pays off, I'm sure patient readers won't be disappointed. The blurb doesn't do it justice, so please head over to the main story!

Not bad, just because you didn't take such a good article as your own, it deserves a five-star rating. I hope the plot behind it will be higher!

The pinnacle of this type of writing is the paid one, a variety show where a few people are asked to pretend to be time travellers, and they accept questions from various experts. The protagonist time travels into one of the guests. There are inherent shortcomings in self-destruction and time travel. The first is slicing (although it is not realistic, but it is inevitable to study it in a cage). How to solve it? Then, when you meet a time traveler, no one will discuss literature with you. How to achieve controllable nuclear fusion? How to build a warp drive? How to unify the four basic forces? When you meet a time traveler, you must first ask about technology, and then discuss which political system can achieve equality for everyone.

I saw the update. The plot is indeed pretty good, and the protagonist's intentions are also very high. I hope it can continue to be maintained, preferably without a female protagonist [laughing]

I think it is a very good book. I have always liked poetry. It is really good to see such a complete conveyance of poetry and the interweaving of various literatures! Just like books are about cultural communication, so are novels! This kind of integration of traditional culture is so good that I can give it five stars! As for self-destruction and time travel, I've read novels, that's the protagonist's business hahahaha [laughs]
