(No romance + ancient-to-modern transmigration + from extra to movie star + famine years + feeding the whole family)
At forty-five, Zhou Dali was born into a famine-ravaged age. His family had nothing, his children went hungry, and life was as bitter as it could be.
He had been scraping by on wild greens dug up in the barren hills when he unexpectedly awakened the Two Worlds Rebirth System. It let him travel freely between the wasteland of ancient times and the modern world, and unlocked a unique talent: remembering anything he read at a glance.
On one trip through time, he was mistaken for a background actor. A bowl of hot porridge, a few boxed meals, and 150 yuan in wages completely upended his understanding of the world.
On one side was his ancient home, where corpses littered the land and food was scarce. On the other was a prosperous, peaceful modern world, where people had plenty to eat and wear.
From then on, he traveled between the two worlds, using modern supplies and food to support his family. Thanks to his talent for remembering anything at a glance, he steadily established himself in the modern world, making a living as an actor, studying, and changing his fate against all odds.
He returned to the old world with bags full of food and money, protecting his entire family, escaping poverty and famine, and crossing between past and present to live a life unlike any other.
Not bad, more updates. The modern plot in the early stage has less bloody villains. After all, even if the protagonist is dressed like this, not many modern people would go out of their way to find trouble. Hurry up and bring the woman back. If you can raise her, there is no need to make your daughter suffer.
